Mention Cai Kangyong, everyone will think of the disappeared variety show "Kangxi Lai" for the first time, and he is not only the host with a special identity.
He grew up in an upper-class family, his father Cai Tianduo ran China's largest steamship company--- Zhonglian Steamship Company, with a lot of money, coupled with the son in his later years, Cai Kangyong was carefully cared for by his family as soon as he was born.
But Cai Kangyong did not live according to the route scheduled by his family, and in 2011, Li Ao asked Cai Kangyong a question on the show: Do you like men? Unexpectedly, Cai Kangyong generously admitted: Yes, that's it.
Because he admitted to "coming out", this also made Tsai Kangyong the first male artist in Taiwan Province to publicly admit to "coming out", and also made his later life extraordinary.
Cai Kangyong's "coming out" is also related to the environment in which he lived since he was a child, because his family was superior from childhood, and his family's vision was very high.
So I always hear what the adults around me think is the use of reading? What is the use of talent? Everything is not as meaningful as making money.
What Cai Kangyong heard from childhood is that this thing is not as good as that thing, such as eating delicious food.
Parents will always compare more high-end foods, and when they see something fun, parents will compare more interesting things.
So Cai Kangyong has not been exposed to the most real life since he was a child, which also made him want to stay away from this family.
So in 1986, 24-year-old Cai Kangyong chose to go to the United States to study, although his parents did not support but there was no way, after all, such a precious son.
Parents never dreamed that when they went to the United States, their son Cai Kangyong's sexual orientation changed.
The first time he was exposed to the fresh air outside, coupled with the relatively open sexual culture in the United States, Cai Kangyong's heart underwent subtle changes. This time, he chose to follow his heart.
After returning to China, in 2004, Cai Kangyong ushered in a change in his life, and he partnered Xiao S to host the variety show "Kangxi Lai". One person is responsible for wanton weirdness, one is responsible for gentlemanly finishing, and the unique style has become popular throughout Taiwan Province as soon as it was broadcast.
After the fire, Cai Kangyong still couldn't avoid being asked to "come out".
He once burst into tears on the show scene: The only thing I can do now is to prove to my parents that we are not monsters. There is also "the more people come out, the less likely it is that the 'cabinet' will exist."
Nowadays, as the question of sexual orientation in society is accepted by more and more people, Cai Kangyong has also walked away from the shadow of the past and lived according to his own vision.
In the entertainment gossip variety show industry, a rare host like Cai Kangyong who maintains a gentlemanly demeanor is admirable.
Everyone's choice is different, and I think the audience will respect him and hope that he can keep his heart and bring more wonderful programs.
