Yang Haipeng passed away yesterday, and netizens over the age of 35 who are more concerned about current affairs should have heard of him.
He was a senior reporter of Southern Weekend and the director of the East China News Center of Caijing magazine, and then because of the "Crab Mother Case" Weibo to save his wife's name, many Weibo netizens even changed their avatars to "Crab Daddy Crab Mother".
In 2011, Yang Haipeng was selected as a candidate for China's 50 charms in Southern People Weekly, commenting: "A judge by birth, a rule of law investigative journalist in the heyday of Southern Weekend, and the director of the East China News Center of Caijing magazine. As a Shanghainese, he is familiar with the city's most secret ways of communicating. In his words, in addition to 'Shanghai on the ground', there is also 'Shanghai underground'. ”
But then he was actually "miserable in the evening", his wife was still sentenced to 4 years in prison, he himself left the media and even made a living by writing autobiographies to others, and his main "job" in the last few years was to send circles of friends to tease cats.
He died of a sudden heart attack, and was said to be alone when he died, and his death only caused mourning and lamentation in the media circle, but did not cause too many screen brushes.
Yang Haipeng can be said to be a typical intellectual, media person, and even a generation of media people in the era of newspapers and periodicals and the era of microblogging, and now that he is gone, he is only 55 years old, and he must still have a lot of reluctance.
In a sense, Yang Haipeng's death can be said to be a symbol of the end of the old media era, and in this new media era, not many young people have heard of him, and now the influential figures in new media are Dong Yuhui, Sima Nan, Zhang Classmate and so on.
Sad, painful, or is this reality, life?
