As a senior host, Dou Wentao's love life has always attracted the attention of the outside world.
He has been rumored to have had scandals with many female stars and hostesses, so he is nicknamed"Emotional harvester"。
He once had a first love during his school days, which had a profound impact on his life, especially his first love on campus.
However, now in middle age, he is still alone. His singleness may not be due solely to the ups and downs of his relationship, but more likely because he has a unique perspective on love and marriage.
Dou Wentao was born in Hebei, and he has had a stutter since he was a child, and he stutters every time he speaks.
His brother would slap him for it.
In order to help him overcome this problem, his family encouraged him to participate in more recitation classes to practice.
When he was in junior high school, the school held a recitation competition, and Dou Wentao took the initiative to sign up for it. He practiced memorizing the manuscript repeatedly, standing in front of the mirror and practicing it several times until he memorized it by heart.
However, when he actually stepped on the stage, he saw the dense audience under the stage, and he was so nervous that he couldn't speak, and he hurried ** after only reading a few words, and he was so frightened that he wet his pants.
When he went to school the next day, Dou Wentao felt the strange gazes of his classmates as if they were laughing at his failure.
At this moment, the Chinese teacher found him and praised him for his excellent recitation of the first two sentences, and he was able to successfully complete the whole recitation with more practice.
The teacher also encouraged him to represent the school in the upcoming municipal competition.
After Dou Wentao returned home, he found his parents to discuss and expressed his desire to participate in the recitation competition again.
The parents were relieved by their son's determination, so the whole family took turns to serve as the audience to help Dou Wentao adjust to the feeling of facing the audience.
After hard training, Dou Wentao finally regained his confidence and firmly decided to take the stage again.
Dou Wentao wore a white shirt, stood on the stage**, and began to recite fluently and forcefully in front of a dense audience.
He was emotionally engaged, his intonation was up and down, and he vividly expressed the content of the reading, which won unanimous praise from all the audience present.
Surprisingly, Dou Wentao won the championship with an extraordinary performance.
Dou Wentao gained great self-confidence during this experience. In 1985, at the age of 18, he was successfully admitted to the Department of Journalism of Wuhan University and moved towards his dream.
During his college years, he actively participated in various club activities, and also showed his one-man show and cross talk performances at the campus theatrical evening.
After years of hard training, his eloquence has become more and more fluent, and his humorous hosting style has also begun to emerge.
Dou Wentao embarked on the road of host after graduating from university and worked as a host on many TV stations.
The novice period was very hard, and he often worked for three days and three nights in a row to catch up with the recording of the show.
He gradually became a familiar face, began to host large-scale galas, and got more opportunities to show his stage charm.
Today, Dou Wentao has become a well-known host and is known for his humorous and vivid hosting style.
Dou Wentao has changed from a stuttering boy with low self-esteem to a successful program host, and he has proved with perseverance and courage that a person can change himself through hard work and gradually realize his dreams. His story has inspired countless inspirational young people to forge ahead on the road of life.
During college, Dou Wentao once fell in love with a female student.
Although they eventually broke up, that relationship was an unforgettable memory for Dou Wentao.
In order to please his girlfriend, Dou Wentao did not hesitate to take a half-day train back from his hometown and asked around, but failed to find a suitable gift.
Eventually, he found a cute white kitten in a small pet store with sparkling sapphire eyes.
Dou Wentao happily purchased this little milk cat, carefully selected a beautiful box, and patiently explained to the kitten the matters that need to be paid attention to during the journey.
Since he couldn't buy a pet ticket, he could only stand with the kitten in his arms and return to Wuhan all the way.
He was concerned about the kitten's condition all the way, for fear that it would be harmed in any way. When he handed the kitten to his girlfriend, he couldn't help but laugh when he saw her happy smiling face.
The girlfriend joked that it was an illegally smuggled foreign cat, and that it had to be given an ID card and household registration.
Although this deep love leaves a deep imprint, young and vigorous love often struggles to last. Due to disagreements, the two often quarrel over trivial matters.
At a party, his girlfriend commented that other boys were handsome, which made Dou Wentao feel depressed. Eventually, the decision to break up was made after a series of misunderstandings.
After Dou Wentao broke up, he fell into confusion and pain, and in order to relieve the pain in his heart, he began to travel around.
He walked in nature, climbed mountains, watched the sea, and faced the vast world alone.
He once spent the entire night camping and couldn't sleep, instead staring at the stars in a daze.
Later, he reunited with his ex-girlfriend at school, but the sadness in his heart could not be suppressed. He even stood downstairs in his girlfriend's dormitory once, watching the lights go out before leaving.
Since then, Dou Wentao has realized a truth: you should not pin all your emotions on others. He was determined to become a more independent and mature person.
After graduating, he chose to go south to Guangdong to work, becoming a children's program host for a radio and television station, while also working as a part-time screenwriter.
This was not his ideal career, as he had to deal with a group of mischievous children every day, and sometimes even endure the scorching heat and mosquito bites of location shoots.
Still, in order to gain experience, he gave it his all. The leader assured him that he would be given a chance. In this way, after 7 years, Dou Wentao gradually grew into an excellent host during his work at the radio and television station.
In 1996, Dou Wentao, who was only 30 years old, left his hometown of Guangdong and came to the unfamiliar Hong Kong alone.
At that time, on the eve of Hong Kong's imminent return to the motherland, a newly established television station "Phoenix Satellite TV" emerged here.
With his excellent appearance and excellent hosting talents, Dou Wentao successfully passed the interview and became a host of the station.
As soon as he arrived in Hong Kong, Dou Wentao felt lonely and uncomfortable.
Fortunately, he got acquainted with two host girls Lu Yu and Xu Gehui, who were also from the mainland with him.
The three were of the same age, had a good personality, and soon became good friends.
In their free time outside of work, they often get together to ** TV series, chat about hometown affairs, and taste snacks. Sometimes, the three of them would even squeeze into a small bed in Dou Wentao's rented room to take a nap, and they got along very closely. This situation has also led to misunderstandings and speculation about whether there is an ambiguous relationship between them.
In fact, Lu Yu and Xu Gehui both regard Dou Wentao as a close relative. There has also never been any misconduct between the trio. These nonsense stories have gradually been forgotten over time.
Lu Yu later joked on the show that she and Dou Wentao had an affair in order to divert the outside world's attention to her being too thin.
And Dou Wentao wittily ridiculed her thinness, saying that he would not have an affair with her.
Dou Wentao has hosted a number of well-known programs on Phoenix Satellite TV, including "Current Affairs Through Train", "Gathering on Phoenix Channel" and "Qiang Qiang Threesome", he is deeply loved by the audience for his lively and witty hosting style, and is also quite prestigious in the industry.
He got to know many Hong Kong singers and actors in "Qiang Qiang Threesome", especially the closest relationship with Faye Wong, the diva singer.
The two were seen dating in Singapore in 2002, an incident that sparked intense interest in their relationship. In fact, the reason why Faye Wong asked to appear on Dou Wentao's show is because she appreciates his hosting style.
He said that Faye Wong should be a very dedicated girl and would not casually spread scandals with others.
Regarding the scandal with Faye Wong, Dou Wentao has always denied it, and the two are just friends.
In addition, people have also expressed concern about the relationship between Dou Wentao and Yu Feihong, the "goddess of frozen age".
In 2006, the two attended the opening ceremony of Li Dongtian's new store in Beijing together as guests, and showed intimate behavior, like a couple.
However, Yu Feihong later clarified that she regarded Dou Wentao as a brother-like existence and had been silently accompanying her for 20 years.
Despite being rumored to be scandalized by many female stars, the 55-year-old Dou Wentao is still single.
His emotional experience seems to have been tortuous, but he has never been able to find true love.
