Zhu Zhiwen, a grassroots star who was once a household name, faced an unexpected dilemma after gaining fame and wealth.
He returned to his village, hoping to give back to the community with his success, building roads in the hope of improving the living conditions of the villagers. However, his kindness does not seem to have been recognized and appreciated by the villagers.
The villagers are more interested in making extra money by filming his life** than in substantially improving their own lives.
As time passed, Zhu Zhiwen found that his popularity in the village did not increase because of his generosity, but instead encountered more and more white eyes and dissatisfaction.
The village party secretary even publicly stated that Zhu Zhiwen's achievements came from the support of the villagers, and his wealth should also belong to everyone. This kind of remark made Zhu Zhiwen feel confused and chilled, and his dignity seemed to collapse in an instant.
In order to appease the villagers' dissatisfaction, Zhu Zhiwen tried to buy a car for each villager and distribute 10,000 yuan, hoping to exchange for the villagers' understanding and support.
However, these material gifts did not win the hearts of the villagers, but inspired more people to rely on him and be greedy. The villagers began to frequently reach out to him to ask for money, and often did not pay it back after borrowing.
Zhu Zhiwen's experience is thought-provoking. He was once despised for being poor, but now he is envied for being rich. This change in human affection not only reflects the distortion of some people's values, but also reveals the complexity of the social atmosphere.
For Zhu Zhiwen, what he needs to face is not only how to deal with the relationship with the villagers, but also how to maintain his original intention and dignity in a rapidly changing society.
