Sister Fleur, who has taken the online world by storm with her unique confidence and exaggerated demeanor. How did Sister Fleur go from an ordinary girl to an Internet phenomenon that countless people talk about?
Sister Furong, whose real name is Shi Hengxia, was born in 1977 in an ordinary small mountain village in Xianyang, Shaanxi. She had a relatively happy childhood, although her family was not luxurious, and her parents were ordinary workers, but a good tutor provided a solid foundation for her growth. Shi Hengxia has been full of longing for life in the big city since she was a child, and she fantasizes about one day being able to stand out and become the center of attention.
When she was growing up, Sister Lin (played by Chen Xiaoxu) in the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" became her idol. Shi Hengxia was deeply attracted by Sister Lin's talent and beauty, and she dreamed of entering Sister Lin's former university, Peking University or Tsinghua University, so as to start her brilliant life. Shi Hengxia's self-confidence and ambition drove her to excel in both her studies and writing, and her essays and poems were widely acclaimed in school and were regarded as model texts.
Fate always likes to joke. In the 1996 college entrance examination, although she was fully prepared, Shi Hengxia failed to be admitted to her favorite Peking University or Tsinghua University, and finally she could only choose to study at Shaanxi University of Technology. Although she was slightly disappointed, she did not give up on her dream.
In 2002, when the Internet was still in the early stages of its development, Shi Hengxia published a post titled "Peking University, you are the deepest and most beautiful pain in my previous life!" on the student forum of Peking University. In this article, she uses gorgeous rhetoric and smooth brushstrokes to describe how sexy, beautiful, and confident she is. Her writing is full of youthful energy and narcissism about beautiful appearances, and this extreme confidence and exaggerated expression has attracted widespread attention and heated discussions.
After the article was released, many netizens were full of curiosity about the author who called himself a "sexy beauty". When Shi Hengxia excitedly released his real photos, all illusions were shattered. She in the photo is far from the self she portrayed in the article, and can even be said to be ordinary and ordinary. This strong contrast made her online image a laughing stock for a while, and it also put her under huge psychological pressure. However, the online world is always fickle and multifaceted, and it is this controversy and ridicule that unexpectedly brought her more attention and popularity.
As time went on, Sister Fleur's name began to appear frequently in major media and online forums. With her maverick style and unafraid attitude to challenge, she gradually transformed into an internet phenomenon. Her activity on blogs and forums, as well as a number of later public appearances, greatly expanded her popularity. Sister Furong's image has also begun to diversify, from the initial Internet laughing stock to the later self-media person, and she has even been invited to participate in some TV programs and commercial activities.
Sister Fleur's actions and remarks are undoubtedly exaggerated and even a little excessive, but this is precisely her weapon to attract attention. On the web, she often posts photos of deliberately posing in various poses, such as a distorted body and exaggerated expressions, which have become her signature style. She also posted some bold remarks and behaviors from time to time, such as claiming to "marry Wang Baoqiang", etc., although these actions made her face a lot of criticism, but also undoubtedly increased her topicality.
Sister Fleur's online career actually reflects a change in Internet culture. From the initial anonymous culture to the later personalized expression, and then to the current self-media and Internet celebrity culture, the Internet has gradually become a platform for people to show themselves and self-realize. It is in this change that Sister Fleur has caught people's attention in her unique way and has become a network symbol that cannot be ignored.
As time passed, new online stars emerged one after another, and Sister Fleur's influence gradually diminished. She also began to try to transform, such as participating in some TV shows, trying different commercial collaborations, and even showing a more mature and stable side in public. Despite this, her image in the hearts of many people is still that Sister Furong who is so confident that she is almost conceited, and dares to love and hate.
The story of Sister Fleur is not only a simple story of the rise and fall of Internet celebrities, but also a microcosm of the history of Internet development. From an ordinary girl's self-shaping to becoming a nationally renowned Internet phenomenon, Sister Furong used her life to interpret the true meaning of "everyone is self-media" in the Internet era. Today, although she is no longer in the headlines, her impact on online culture and her exploration of personal branding are still worth pondering in every era of our lives.
