introduction
"Augmentation of the Sages": "The gun shoots the head bird, and the knife cuts the head snake." Chinese culture pays the most attention to introverted and implicit, too public a person can easily cause others to be jealous and framed, so there is also a folk saying of "muffled voice to make a fortune". But there has never been a shortage of people in the world who like to sensationalize the public, and He Qingling, who claims to be a descendant of the Qing Dynasty, is one of them.
01
On February 12, 1912, Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, announced his abdication. Since then, the feudal rule of the Qing Dynasty has completely ended, and the feudal imperial system that has lasted for nearly two thousand years in Chinese history has also died. In order to save their lives and live a better life, many Qing Dynasty nobles have also been anonymous and live an ordinary life that is no different from ordinary people. But He Qingling has always been proud to be a descendant of the Qing Dynasty, and after accidentally learning of the illustrious lineage of his ancestors, he went crazy and began to publicize it, and also asked everyone else to call him "Eight Brothers", if someone did not do what he said, he was still very dissatisfied.

In fact, before this, He Qingling was just an ordinary young man in Dalian, Liaoning Province, and like many young people, he was doing his ordinary work in the factory, receiving a fixed salary, had no lofty ambitions, and was content with the stable life in front of him. But one day, He Qingling, who was wandering in the village after work, overheard several old people talking about the history of the village, and he curiously leaned over and listened to it. This did not listen tightly, but let him know the story of his family, it turned out that his ancestors were the Yehenara clan, and he also had some relationship with empress dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty.

After returning home, he rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find out his family tree, and only then did he know that his ancestors were indeed the qing dynasty magnates. How can the original ordinary rural youth become a descendant of the royal family, how can this not be exciting? His heart could not be calm for a long time, as long as he thought of the prominent status of his ancestors, he felt that his value had also risen.

At that time, Qing Palace dramas were popular in China, and various television stations were scrambling to release various plays about the Qing Dynasty, so He Qingling had a hot mind, he named himself "Eight Brothers", and often regarded himself as a descendant of Cixi, and talked about his extraordinary life everywhere. If it is nothing just to play tricks, but He Qingling is more and more real, and even bought several clothes of Qing Dynasty princes from the Internet, and even combed their hairstyles into Qing Dynasty braids, these funny moves are really funny.

The criticism of him in society was incessant, but he did not pay any attention to it, and he thought that the ridicule and ridicule of others were only because he was jealous of his royal status. And the media, who have always been willing to "make trouble", naturally will not let go of this interesting person, not only interviewing him, but also competing to invite him to participate in various entertainment programs.

He Qingling has been on the most well-known program, I am afraid that it is not the blind date program "Non-sincere Do Not Disturb". After he stepped onto the stage, he asked all the people present to bow to him, and he was ashamed to say that their involuntary behavior would have killed their heads if they had been placed in ancient times. During the program, he repeatedly emphasized that he was a Manchu Qing emperor, and that he came here to choose a harem concubine, and if any girl was picked, it would be her own blessing.

He Qingling made a remark, saying that the guest audience present laughed loudly. Subsequently, someone asked him how to evaluate Empress Dowager Cixi. He praised Cixi again, without mentioning the deep disaster that Cixi had caused to all of China. Such crude remarks not only exposed his lack of knowledge, but also made people understand that his style was just sensationalism.
Of course, no one was willing to choose him at the end of the show, and not only that, he was also laughed at by many people on the recording scene for his ridiculous remarks. He Qingling had to leave the scene in a daze, and before leaving, he did not forget to give a speech, saying that these women had no vision and missed the great opportunity to become concubines.

"Zhuangzi Getaway": "The son alone does not see the tanuki; he prostrates himself; he waits for the Ao; he jumps from the east to the west; and does not avoid the high and low." He Qingling's various actions not only show his own ignorance and ridiculousness, but also reveal a drawback of modern society, that is, traffic is supreme. Now many media people have long lost their professional insistence, but blindly pursue topics and attention, as long as there are points to watch, there are gimmicks, they will compete to report.
epilogue
Such bad industry behavior undoubtedly gave He Qingling's ridiculous behavior a great encouragement, because people were willing to pay attention, willing to discuss, and even provide opportunities for him to appear on the show, which gave him the confidence to continue to star in this farce. In the long run, the society does not know how many "eight brothers" will appear, if the society can give him some correct guidance and values, perhaps he can wake up earlier, not to fall deeper and deeper, make such a big joke.
