From "Towards the Republic" to "The Legend of Miyue", from "Seeing Words Like Faces" to "Sound Immersion", Zhao Lixin was called an "old drama bone" by the audience, and finally became an instant hit at the age of 49.
However, at this time, he posted on social platforms one after another to "whitewash" the acts of Japan, Britain and France that had invaded our country, and even caused criticism from "Ziguangge" and "Communist Youth League**".
Zhao Lixin was born in the sixties of the last century, was admitted to the ** Drama Academy in 1986, and made his debut in 2001 by participating in the TV series "Towards the Republic".
"Towards the Republic" is China's first modern historical drama, and it is also one of the classics in the history of Chinese film and television dramas so far.
Before that, Zhao Lixin was actually a Chinese actor from Sweden.
In the second year of entering Chinese opera, Zhao Lixin was sent to Russia with excellent results, and obtained a master's degree in acting there.
After completing his studies, he did not immediately return to his home country or stay in Russia, but turned around and went to Sweden, where he became a Swedish citizen and worked as a drama actor.
It was not until entering the new century that Zhao Lixin returned to his motherland and devoted himself to the film and television industry.
After "Towards the Republic", Zhao Lixin's resources are not bad, whether it is "Ming Dynasty", "Blood Agarwood", "Xinhai Revolution", "Open the World" in the early years, or "Embroidered Spring Knife", "The Biography of Miyue", "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" and "Fanghua" in recent years, they are all rare dramas.
However, such an excellent resource did not get him much attention, and by the time the audience noticed him, he was already in his 40s.
In 2017, 49-year-old Zhao Lixin appeared on the stage of the variety show "Seeing Words Like Faces Season 2" and gained a certain amount of **.
Perhaps it was this experience that gave him a taste of the sweetness of variety shows, and the following year, he participated in the recording of "Sound Immersion", and became an instant hit.
In the show, Zhao Lixin dubbed the movies "Soul Broken Blue Bridge" and "Kung Fu Panda", switching between English, German, French, and Spanish freely, full of emotion and vividness, and immediately gained a large number of young fans.
As his fame went up, praise was naturally indispensable, and in an instant, the laurel crown of "Old Drama Bone" was put on his head.
At that time, his acting career reached its peak, and drama appointments followed, and the scenery was unmatched for a while.
But just when fans were waiting for his new work to come out, he dropped a "bomb" ...... on the ** field
On March 31, 2019, Zhao Lixin posted a news on social platforms, which caused an uproar with only one sentence.
"Why did the British and French forces burn down the Old Summer Palace?! ”
At first, netizens thought that he was criticizing the aggression of the British and French forces against our country in an interrogative tone, and everyone in the comment area was condemning this evil act.
However, his next behavior made netizens realize that something was wrong.
A netizen in the comment area left a message: "If you can't get it, you will be destroyed." The crimes committed by these two people, Ergin and Grant, cannot be paid back in three lives. ”
Zhao Lixin replied: "What about the Forbidden City? Did you forget or didn't bring flint and steel? ”
As soon as this remark came out, netizens immediately tasted the ridicule between the lines, as well as the intention of "whitewashing" the behavior of the British and French forces.
Two days later, Zhao Lixin posted again, saying: "The Japanese occupied Beijing for eight years, why didn't they rob the cultural relics in the Forbidden City and burn the Forbidden City?" Is this in line with the nature of the aggressor? ”
Some netizens kindly pointed out that most of the precious cultural relics in the Forbidden City were transferred at that time, and there was no need for the invaders to plunder.
Who knew that Zhao Lixin refuted: "This statement is not very convincing, after all, there are still millions of pieces that have not been shipped, and they are valuable no matter how high or low." ”
This sentence seems to be praising the "good deeds" of the Japanese aggressors and "washing the ground" for Japan's criminal acts of aggression against our country.
Subsequently, he even issued a long article saying: The reason why Japan burned, killed and looted in Nanjing was because the capture of Nanjing was too time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the Japanese army was irritable to do so; And Japan let go of the Forbidden City because the capture of Beiping was relatively smooth and did not get carried away by impulse.
Zhao Lixin's remarks confirmed his "whitewashing" intentions, and netizens couldn't sit still at all and condemned him one after another.
With regard to Zhao Lixin's fallacy, the "China Anti-Cult" pointed out that Japan looted or destroyed countless cultural relics in China during the war of aggression against China, and the Forbidden City did not escape the catastrophe.
"Ziguangge" and "Communist Youth League**" also criticized Zhao Lixin's inappropriate remarks in a timely manner.
Subsequently, netizens also picked up that the only "motherland" in the heart of Zhao Lixin, who was born as a Swedish-Chinese, is Sweden rather than China, and what he misses is also Sweden.
After the matter fermented, Zhao Lixin deleted the above related Weibo and issued a letter of apology, but no one will forgive.
After that, his social account was cancelled, and the film and television works he participated in before were affected, and the part that had time to be broadcast in the future was either hidden or "replaced".
He completely disappeared from showbiz.
