In the glorious moment, Dong Qing was undoubtedly the most dazzling pearl on the TV screen, and was praised by the audience as "the angel in the eyes of the public". The elegant, generous, wise and elegant atmosphere exuded by her every gesture and foot has fascinated countless people. However, the world has changed, and the 49-year-old former CCTV celebrity has fallen into a low point in his life, disappeared from the public eye, and even suffered from "hypocrisy" doubts and criticisms.
Whenever people talk about Dong Qing's name, they can't help but recall her past glory and glory, as well as the ensuing family scandals. This "goddess of the whole people", who carried thousands of expectations in the past, is now dimmed in the hearts of the audience and has lost its sacred brilliance in the past. She was once revered as a symbol of solemnity and elegance, wisdom and intellectuality, but now she has become the talk of jokes after dinner.
What Dong Qing is facing is a question and dispute about love and career. Some have accused her of misbehaving emotionally and morally, accusing her of having been entangled with married people, while others have criticized her for her poor decision-making in her career, admitting that she has deviated from the values she used to hold. The spearhead of these doubts undoubtedly brought a heavy blow to the once beautiful "CCTV First Sister".
From the peak to the trough, Dong Qing's ups and downs reflect the harsh reality of public opinion. She was once pushed to the top, but now she is abandoned and forgotten. This kind of capricious attitude of liking the new and hating the old cannot help but make people feel a trace of indignation and indifference. However, at the root of it, this is also caused by Dong Qing's own words and deeds, which subverts the public's original perception and expectations of her.
If we look back more than ten years ago, Dong Qing at that time was undoubtedly one of the most dazzling star hosts. She has hosted many influential programs, the most notable of which is the annual Spring Festival Gala. With her excellent appearance, superb hosting skills and noble demeanor, Dong Qing has won the love of countless audiences and won the reputation of "Goddess of the People".
The most fundamental reason why the audience deeply admired and loved her was that she was irresistible to her outstanding professionalism and unique and extraordinary personality charm on stage! Back in 2007, when everyone was impressed by the New Year's party, there was a gap of two and a half minutes, which was undoubtedly a serious challenge for any host. However, our Dong Qing, the experienced and skilled host, did not panic because of this, but responded calmly, skillfully used a sentence, and then used a sincere and moving "thanks" as a closing remark, successfully defusing the crisis and pushing the atmosphere of the entire venue to an extremely warm peak.
In addition to her outstanding resilience in emergency situations, Dong Qing's respect for the elderly has also won widespread praise. Legend has it that during the recording of a program, when she met a faltering geriatric scholar, she always maintained a half-kneeling posture to have an in-depth conversation with him, fully demonstrating her deep concern for humanity. It is this warm and jade-like temperament that makes audiences all over the country praise her.
In general, the reason why Dong Qing was able to win the reputation of "National Goddess" is not only because she has excellent hosting talents, but more importantly, the inner personality charm she exudes makes people feel cordial, elegant, atmospheric, and intellectual. The traditional virtues contained in her are the reason why the public sought after her at that time.
However, just when Dong Qing's career was in full swing, an emotional scandal completely subverted her image in the public's mind. In 2013, a number of media exposed the inside information of an extramarital affair between Dong Qing and wealthy entrepreneur Mi Chunlei. At that time, a large number of intimate group photos were made public, and the two of them in the photos looked as if they were the only two of them in the world, and their intimate behavior in public was not shy away.
What's even more infuriating is that Mi Chunlei had already entered the palace of marriage at that time, and his wife Jin Jing even came to the door angrily to question Dong Qing, hoping that she would have scruples and respect her marriage. However, in the face of these doubts, Dong Qing responded confidently: "Mi Chunlei and I are truly in love. Such frank and direct words undoubtedly put her in a dilemma in the field of public opinion, and she was ruthlessly labeled as a "little three" by many netizens.
What is remarkable is that at the end of 2013, the famous entrepreneur Mi Chunlei and his wife Jin Jing divorced by agreement, and the following year, he registered his marriage with the well-known host Dong Qing. During this period, Dong Qing mysteriously disappeared from public view, secretly went to the United States, and left his job for a whole year in the name of "further study and promotion". This move quickly attracted a paparazzi tracking report, and someone took a photo of her walking with her newborn baby, inadvertently revealing important information about her suspected delivery in the United States!
Dong Qing's "hidden marriage" and "giving birth to a child in the United States" made her fall into the whirlpool of public opinion again. Because she has always considered herself a patriot, but she chose to have children in a foreign country. This apparent double standard has made many former supporters disappointed in her and even doubt the sincerity of the patriotic feelings she expressed on stage.
To get to the root of Dong Qing's accusation of "hypocrisy", we have to go back to her decision to have a child in the United States. As a public figure, marriage and childbirth should have been blessed by everyone. However, Dong Qing chose to produce in the United States, and she emphasized her patriotic feelings many times in the show and made many inspiring patriotic remarks.
In the face of such doubts, Dong Qing firmly said that she chose to give birth in the United States in order to provide a better educational environment for her children. This statement is undoubtedly a heavy blow to her previous patriotic views, disappointing many viewers who once loved her, and at the same time questioning and distrusting her past words and deeds.
In fact, Dong Qing has always kept a low profile in his private life, and has not disclosed the real reason for giving birth in the United States. Some speculate that she may have been considering applying for a green card for her child, after all, she had already left her job for the United States for a year on the grounds of "further study." But, regardless of the motives, this decision of hers has completely changed people's perception of her.
From Dong Qing's defense of her patriot character to the process of choosing overseas high-quality educational resources for her children, her frequent vacillation in values and deliberate cover-up of the truth have made the audience question her bottom line of integrity and can no longer maintain her past admiration.
Even though Dong Qing's reputation has now suffered a scar that cannot be ignored, his influence has not collapsed as expected. Until recently, it was rumored that her husband Mi Chunlei once again swung a fatal blow with all his might.
In 2021, according to the data of the Hurun Report, Mi Chunlei was on the list with a personal wealth of up to 10 billion yuan, which can be called a leader in the business world. However, at the end of the same year, he suffered a major setback. Mi Chunlei himself was summoned by the police on suspicion of employing improper business strategies, and instantly became the focus of social attention, and was subsequently seriously investigated and punished by the authorities.
At this critical moment, Dong Qing devoted all her financial resources to help her husband get out of the predicament. According to rumors, the luxury house she had purchased for her children in the United States was also forced to sell, but these funds were only a drop in the bucket to resolve Mi Chunlei's financial crisis.
In the face of her husband's dishonesty scandal being made public, Dong Qing still firmly chose to stick to his side, which undoubtedly detonated public opinion again.
Some voices on the Internet sharply pointed out that what Dong Qing pursued was nothing more than an illusory "dream of a wealthy family", but in the end he paid a heavy price for it and became a laughing stock in the entertainment industry.
For a while, all kinds of criticism and ridicule against her came like a tide.
In fact, the relationship between Dong Qing and Mi Chunlei has been controversial from beginning to end. Ignoring the reality that Mi Chunlei had a marriage and family at that time, she resolutely threw herself into her arms and started an immoral extramarital relationship.
When Mi Chunlei's original partner Jin Jing came to the door to inquire in person, Dong Qing unashamedly declared that the two were "truly in love". Such a frank and high-profile behavior undoubtedly pushed her into the abyss of notoriety of a "third party".
