Po lay lonely on the old bed board of the rental room, staring at the ceiling and falling into deep thought. He thought that his home must be very warm, but he felt that his home seemed to be a bit monotonous, without a trace of romance. Beyond the windows are layers of buildings, and lights of varying heights still shine into this humble room, just like in the past.
He turned his head, his gaze resting on the mountain of bottles piled up in the corner, and he couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.
The glory of the past, like the remnant sun of the sky, has faded in a distant place. Today, he is still shining on the stage. He was once a well-known grassroots singer, and with his unique voice and simple and kind appearance, he won the annual championship of the variety show "Avenue of Stars" in one fell swoop.
His iconic song "Shandandan Flowers Bloom Red and Gorgeous" was widely sung in the streets and alleys, and he gradually emerged and became a grassroots leader.
When Po's career reached its peak, his reputation rose rapidly, and he continued to pay endorsement fees and performance fees. Po used his income to buy a house and a car for his family. He quickly bought a luxurious villa and an expensive car and embarked on a profligate lifestyle.
However, excessive extravagance and indulgence will eventually be wasted, and Po has now lost his reputation and wealth.
He looked around at the dilapidated dwellings around him, and there were few items of value other than a few simple household items. His room was a huge empty shell with only a bed and a computer, as well as a few desks, a few printers, and a few knick-knacks. The wardrobe was blank, leaving only a few simple pieces of clothing and trousers. His singing voice was as low as his, without a hint of brilliance. After losing the support of his fans, the former star can now not even pay 500 yuan for a small performance, and his life is in extreme trouble.
Po covered his eyes weakly, and the glorious moments of the past in his mind clearly appeared in front of him. He was born into a herder family on the outskirts of Baotou City, Inner Mongolia. The teenager has been a herder since he was a child, but he managed to reach the top of the music scene through self-education, and experienced a dramatic life journey at a low point in his life.
With a hint of self-deprecation, he said that the past was like a gravel in his hand, which had disappeared without a trace, and he could no longer pick up any trace of it.
To understand Po's history, we must begin with his extraordinary upbringing. Bao was born in a small mountain village called "Sandong" in Daping Town, Puding County, Xingyi City, Qianxian Prefecture, Guizhou Province. He was born in a remote mountain village, and his parents were ordinary farmers. Due to the poverty of the family and the fact that he did not go to school, Ah Bao became a sheep herder. Po has shown great talent since he was a child, and he proudly says that in those days, he let his flock grow in the mountains surrounded by clouds every day.
In that land, young Po sang loudly, touching the innocent hearts of the mountains and wilderness with his unique voice. His voice is full of nostalgia for his hometown and deep friendship for his hometown fathers and fellow villagers. He is a boy who loves to sing. After practicing day after day, he finally developed a unique and beautiful voice.
After leaving his hometown, Po has always been determined to play the role of resident singer in bars in major cities. He is a young man from the countryside, and he has had a natural love for ** since he was a child, and he hopes to become an excellent singer through his own efforts and bring more happiness and warmth to his family. Although his appearance is ordinary and his income is not high, he has never given up his dream of pursuing **.
Finally, in 2001, Po participated in the selection of the popular variety show "Avenue of Stars" and unexpectedly won the championship honor of the year.
Because of his unique voice and innocent and kind appearance, Po quickly became popular like a meteorite. In Chinese mainland, Po has brought joy and emotion to many people with his singing, and he is also known as a "folk singer". His iconic song "Shandandan Flowers Bloom Red and Gorgeous" is well-known to the public, and he is gradually regarded as the leader of grassroots folk songs**.
In the next few years, Po released several personal *** photos in a row and traveled around, touring at home and abroad, and achieved remarkable results.
Po has quickly risen from an unknown rural youth to a newcomer in the music scene, and his life path is full of drama. In just a few years, with his extraordinary courage and persistent pursuit, Po has embarked on a successful path from an ordinary farmer - to become a professional singer. With his unique voice and firm dream of **, he finally got a chance to change the fate of the poor.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, after that, he is about to encounter a series of more complex and mysterious fates.
In fact, before Po won the Walk of Fame championship, there was already a little-known secret behind him. Po is a very lucky girl, she has been a model since she was a child, and she also worked as a model in Hong Kong for two years. According to the actual situation excavated, Ah Bao had already signed a contract with a brokerage company and became its artist before officially signing up for the competition.
The image he shows of a simple, kind, hard-working herding boy is actually just a conscious packaging and planning.
At that time, Po was just an ordinary young man from the countryside who made a living by singing in a bar in the city. Bao was born in a ** family, his father is an amateur singer, and his mother is also very fond of singing. Although he has an innate beautiful voice, he has not been able to stand out in the ** world for a long time.
An unexpected opportunity led him to be spotted by the head of a brokerage firm and signed a contract with him.
In order to help Po stand out from the many grassroots singers participating in the competition and create a unique image of an artist, the agency team specially designed a backstory of a herding boy for him, hoping to win the sympathy of the audience through this story.
At first, Po had a strong aversion to this "fabricated life experience", thinking that it might be misleading the audience.
Despite this, his agent constantly gave him advice and persuasion, making him realize the importance of packaging himself in the current entertainment industry. So he began to seriously consider whether he could attract more fans by packaging himself, and thus win the audience. Therefore, in the follow-up variety show, Po vividly showed the challenging and difficult story of a teenager.
He shared his experience of living in a remote mountain village with his loving grandmother before the age of 5, with a flock of sheep every day, who grew up in the mountains surrounded by clouds and mist, and gradually developed their unique vocal talents.
It was only after the age of 5 that he returned to his parents' arms and embarked on a journey full of ups and downs in the pursuit of his dreams.
It is precisely because of the simple, kind and hard-working grassroots temperament shown by Po that he deeply touched the hearts of the jury and the audience in the show, which is also the key factor for him to finally win the championship and achieve rapid career development.
However, no one could have foreseen that behind this seemingly brilliant appearance, there was actually such a cruel truth hidden.
After winning the Walk of Fame championship, Po's career seemed to have been sloppily painted with brilliant colors by someone, and quickly climbed to the top of his life. His success has made people see a new direction in the development of China's popular ** - star economy. **The industry has won countless honors and recognitions, and endorsement fees and performance fees have also flowed in continuously.
He quickly bought a luxurious villa and an expensive car and embarked on a profligate lifestyle.
Po grew from a young farmer herding sheep to the pinnacle of his life, and his wealth, power, and reputation were integrated into his life. He also experienced many pains and tribulations in his pursuit of these honors. However, the occurrence of this series of events also led him to gradually abandon the low-key and simplicity of the past.
In a life of excessive luxury and indulgence, he gradually lost respect for his seniors and colleagues.
In a variety show hosted by Mr. Guo Degang, Ah Bao mocked Mr. Guo for never stepping on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala under the gaze of the audience and the camera, and boldly splashed ink in front of everyone, scribbling Mr. Guo's ugly image on the canvas, and publicly humiliating the seniors.
Although Guo Degang's mood was already extremely low, considering the overall atmosphere of the show, he had to try to stay calm. Although his performance was a bit exaggerated, it did not affect the laughter and applause of the audience in the slightest. Seeing this, Po's attitude became more presumptuous and arrogant, his words were unreserved, outspoken, and highly aggressive.
He even boldly stated that he hoped that the famous cross talk artist Guo Degang and his predecessors of his iconic work "Legend of the Phoenix" would not find a foothold.
In a life of luxury and indulgence, Po was ** and had scandals with many female artists. His wife is a woman named Zhang Dong, and the two have a very good relationship. Some netizens found his intimacy with Zhang Dongling on the Internet**, especially the silhouette with Wang Erni, and the relationship between the two seemed very close.
Although he looks like a simple herding boy on the surface, he is actually full of the dark side of worldliness and humanity inside.
In this way, Po seems to have undergone a rapid transformation process. He used to be a proud and arrogant country boy, but now he has become a completely different person, an arrogant man who has lost his humility and kindness.
Many people don't know that all of this will take a heavy toll on their lives in the near future.
It was inadvertently leaked that the place Po was first chosen was actually the modern metropolis of Shenzhen, rather than the place he claimed to be from a remote mountain village. What exactly is his "phase technique"? After the release of this major internal information, it quickly provoked a huge response on the Internet.
Many things that were hidden in the past are now revealed: Bao's parents were not farmers, but employees of state-owned enterprises, and he grew up in a poor environment.
Before deciding to apply for the Avenue of Stars, he was already a signed artist of a certain company. Because he is a "sheep herding baby", he is called "lamb".And "sheep herding baby identity" has also become a label for him, and has been labeled with various labels. Regarding the identity of the so-called sheep herding baby, it is actually deliberately shaped and packaged based on the needs of marketing.
When faced with doubts, Po's explanation at the time seemed confusing and lacked sufficient self-confidence.
The continuous ** made Bao's carefully crafted simple image collapse in an instant. Po's appearance has attracted the attention of society and has also sparked a debate about the relationship between morality and money. The audience finally saw his true colors: he was an opportunistic utilitarian who pursued fame and fortune.
Many netizens didn't care too much about his past experience of "enduring hardships", they thought he was just "selling miserably" to win sympathy.
What's even more shocking is that there is also a record of him funding the junior on the Internet. ** Ah Bao is a white and chubby, sweet and cute shepherd boy. As you can see from the footage, Po's enthusiasm for a charming girl is almost hard to believe that this is the same humble and innocent shepherd boy that used to be.
As the lies were revealed, Po completely lost the public's support and trust. Po's record label was disbanded, and his agent left because the company went bankrupt. The fans who had cheered him on left disappointed and no longer willing to pay for him.
Even his family and friends around him were deeply hurt by his contrived and hypocritical behavior, and developed a strong dislike for him, and even made the decision to break off the relationship.
Power, wealth, and vanity are like intoxicating wine, and Po may have lost his innocent and kind heart in it. She used to be an authentic peasant girl, an ordinary girl who grew up in a city where she was just a child fostered by her parents. Now penniless, all I have is a brief memory of the past.
Po's tragic death is not only a heart-wrenching fate, but also a reflection of the inevitable choices he made on the path of life. Po's life is full of ups and downs and hardships. When he reached the pinnacle of his career, his inner greed and vanity were released, completely departing from his original innocence and down-to-earth nature.
Sadly, at the peak of Po's career, he deviated from his original moral standards and became too egotistical and dismissive of everything. He gave everything he had to others, but he forgot his original intention and mission - to be a truly valuable person. The simple, kind, hard-working cowherd child who used to be almost non-existent now.
However, it is precisely because of this excessive extravagance and indulgence that Po is finally pushed into an abyss from which there is no turning back. In a variety show, he openly insulted Guo Degang, a senior senior, and loudly declared that he would put Guo Degang's classic "Phoenix Legend" at his feet.
This blatant provocation and disrespectful behavior, in the eyes of the outside world, is undoubtedly a lack of basic respect for the predecessors, showing extreme arrogance and arrogance.
Even the people around him have advised Po to hope that he can live with humility and a low-key attitude. It is a pity that this young man, who once only knew how to herd sheep, is now immersed in a life of luxury and indulgence, and has no fear of honor and disgrace.
Po's betrayal of his mentor is deeply regrettable and lamenting, and it is clear that he is completely deluded by money and fame.
What's even more shocking is that when Po's hypocrisy and selfishness were **, he behaved so arrogantly and shamelessly, as if he didn't realize his mistakes at all, and showed no concern for the final result.
Such an act undoubtedly sparked strong public condemnation and contempt. He is Brother Bao. There were many people around him who tried their best to avoid contact with him, fearing that they would have any contact with such a person. Even those fans who once supported him were deeply disappointed in Po.
After losing their constant support, Po soon fell into a fate of poverty and hardship.
Po became extravagant, hypocritical, shameless, and arrogant due to the overnight accumulation of wealth, all of which constituted the deep-seated reasons for his fall. He played the role of a typical "corrupt person" in his own life, and his actions not only ruined his own image, but also harmed others and society. His final fate is precisely the punishment he deserves for this immorality.
From Po's life experience, we can clearly understand that it is essential to maintain an honest and upright attitude towards life. Honesty and integrity are the qualities that everyone should have, and they are also the most basic moral requirements in life. The spirit of hardship and hard work in the past was not made up, but the basis for the existence of an ordinary person.
Unfortunately, Po failed to adhere to this principle and completely lost himself in the pursuit of fame and fortune. His life was destined to deal with libraries - a library was Po's only chance to survive until now. As the saying goes,"After four years, he still spends time in the old building", he would have had the opportunity to stop and live an ordinary but respected life.
Unexpectedly, he behaved indulgently and ended up with nothing, which explains why everyone avoided talking about him.
Looking back on Po's life journey, it is like a modern version of the "grandstanding" drama is being staged. His childhood was full of legends and dreams. He went from self-taught success, to being loved by others, to going all out, and reaching the peak of his career, but in the end he quickly fell into the trough of his life and completely lost his fighting spirit.
There are many subtle elements that shape the direction of his life, such as whether he shows humility, whether he behaves hypocritically, and so on. A Bao, who was once one of the most legendary businessmen in China, can no longer see the "hero" demeanor of the once dominant business in him. Po had the opportunity to avoid many unnecessary detours, but instead he chose the most complicated path.
Some people believe that honesty is the cornerstone of being a human being. This valuable quality embodied in him is exactly what we should learn from. Po's life experience undoubtedly provides a clear guide to this view. We are often subjected to money, power, and vanity, which leads us to make choices that are not in line with our hearts.
However, in the current situation, Po can only reflect on how laughable and sad the stupid decisions he made back then were with deep sadness and remorse.
Delving into the deep reasons, Po has always longed for the public's care and affirmation deep down. His success was not due to the fact that he was a genius, but because he was an ordinary man – his father was an ordinary farmer, and his mother was just an ordinary worker. It is for this reason that people create exaggerated life stories that win the sympathy of others.
However, such an act is essentially based on a lie and will one day be revealed.
When the truth of the facts emerges, Po's positive image collapses. He failed in his career, took a hit in his family, and his life became more and more irrational and selfish. The crowd witnessed his hypocrisy and narrow-mindedness, and from then on completely severed ties with him. Po has become a forgotten figure, a character abandoned by the times. Po is in the predicament he is in now, in fact, because he has made some unwise decisions in the past.
A person's life can be seen as a continuous decision-making process that confronts the inevitable consequences after choices are made. Only after making a choice that meets their own wishes and social requirements can people truly realize their own value and better serve the society. Making the right decisions will lead you to the light, but if you make the wrong choice, you will sink into the darkness.
All the things that Po has experienced are painful lessons in our lives.
