"It is impossible to work part-time, it is impossible to work in this life!" "It's very kind to go into the detention center, it feels like coming home, I love it here."
Zhou Liqi, who was arrested and imprisoned for the second time, spoke his mind under the interview of reporters and also said that he wanted to eat yellow braised chicken and rice.
As soon as the interview was broadcast, this word swept the whole network and directly rushed to the first place in the hot search list, and that Zhou Mou had "three into the palace" and "four into the palace" for stealing battery cars shortly after his release from prison, and the fourth time because of the seriousness of the circumstances, he was directly sentenced to four years in prison.
Zhou Liqi did not come out of prison until April 8, 2020, and now that two years have passed, has he repented and rehabilitated? What is the current situation?
01 Zhou Liqi refused an annual salary of 15 million
A habitual criminal who has had the experience of "four into the palace" has just been released from prison, and it is reasonable to say that no enterprise dares to use it, but the boss of Zhou Liqi's family who came to visit is one after another, and the luxury cars that drive in one after another can be described as a city.
Even Uncle Zhao at the mouth of the village wondered: Why did so many people inquire about Ah San (Zhou Liqi)?
Zhou Liqi's family lives in a village in Xingning District, Nanning, Guangxi, and the reason why he is called Ah San is because there are six brothers and sisters in the family, and he is the third oldest.
However, these bosses, without exception, all had a bamboo basket to draw water, because Zhou Liqi had not returned from prison at this time.
The fourth time he came out of the detention center, all the procedures Zhou Liqi remembered to roll the melon, and what was different from the past was that he had a new identity after this release from prison, that is, "Net Red Zhou Mou".
Dozens of Internet celebrity companies are scrambling to sign a contract with him, and even offer an annual salary of 15 million.
For these, Zhou Liqi refused, for only one reason: he did not want to work.
"Not working" seems to have become his lifelong pursuit, no matter how many people persuade him, he is determined not to work for others.
Speaking of his brother's reluctance to work, Zhou Liqi's cousin cried and laughed, calling it too classic, but the truth is that his family is the poorest family in the village.
The fourth grade of primary school was not finished, Zhou Liqi dropped out of school early and went home, not wanting to study is on the one hand, on the other hand, it is too difficult in the family, there are many brothers and sisters, and solving the problem of food and clothing is a big problem.
As a young man, he also longed to improve the poor living conditions of his family on his own, so he went to society alone.
During this time, he tried to do various jobs, such as moving bricks on the construction floor, or driving excavators, and gradually he found that these tasks were not only tiring, but also made very little money.
He also truly experienced the cruelty of society, so he finally simply put it on the road and directly embarked on the road of breaking the law.
The main reason is that Zhou Liqi got acquainted with a group of unprofessional bastards in society, and under their leadership, he was infected with the bad problem of stealing things.
In 2007, Zhou Liqi entered the detention center for the first time for stealing an electric car, and after several months of coming out, he did not repent and continued to do the "old business", and was arrested several times after that, all because of theft.
Then a few in and out, Zhou Liqi seemed to have feelings for the detention center, and found an unprecedented sense of security here, so he said things like "the detention center is very kind, coming here is like going home."
The first few times he was in criminal detention because the circumstances were not serious, until the fourth time he was actually in prison.
This time, Zhou Liqi stole other people's electric cars as usual, but this scene was just seen by the owner, so the two wrestled together.
Once the two sides intervened, the nature of the case was very different, and Zhou Liqi changed from theft to robbery and was sentenced to four years in prison.
Zhou Liqi's great youth was spent in prison in this way, when he thought that his life was doomed, and his desire to help his family get rid of poverty could no longer be realized.
But he would never have imagined that the unintentional voice he confided in reporters would make him double his value overnight and become an Internet celebrity on the Internet!
02 "Che Guevara" who resolutely does not work
It was after entering the detention center for the second time, Zhou Liqi was handcuffed on his hands, crouched by the wall, his hair was almost completely covered, his beard was pulled, he looked more like a tramp, even if he was poorly dressed, the nature revealed in his words seemed to be completely unobstructed.
The reporter asked: "Why should you be a thief?" ”
Zhou Liqi: "If there is no money, it will definitely be done." ”
Reporter: "You have hands and feet, why don't you go to work?" ”
Zhou Liqi: "It is impossible to work part-time, it is impossible in this life!" ”
Reporter: "Do you think the home is better or the detention center is better?" ”
Zhou Liqi: "Going to the detention center is like going home, it's boring in my house, I don't have a girlfriend, everyone here is talented, talking and listening well, I like it very much." ”
With a dashing and true temperament sentence coupled with a magical Guangxi accent, the phrase "don't want to work" quickly became popular on the Internet and became a familiar Internet term.
With the rapid development of the economy, the pressure of office workers to work continues to increase, they have a desire for freedom, forced to make a living and have to bow to reality, such people are called workers, Zhou Liqi's words are really said to their hearts, so there is a scene of imitation.
Therefore, there are many such stems such as "forget him, I stole the battery car to raise you", "Wait for your battery car to disappear" and so on.
Because Zhou Mou looks exactly like the leader of the Cuban revolution, netizens also gave him the nickname "Che Guevara", comparing a thief with a national hero, which is quite ironic.
But Zhou Liqi was imprisoned in the "four palaces" soon after, in a closed cage, and he was completely unaware of everything outside.
When he was free again, Zhou Liqi was faced with the invitations of major Internet celebrity companies, but he insisted: "If you sign a contract, it is equivalent to selling yourself, and in the end it will fall very badly, and they will squeeze out all the value of your body." ”
So, he chose to go home and farm.
In the past ten years, the conditions of Zhou Liqi's family have not been improved in the slightest, but they have become poorer and poorer, and the family cannot eat pork once a year.
When his father on the hospital bed saw Ah San come out of prison, he said: "Go home for dinner", Zhou Liqi immediately burst into tears, he thought that this time he would be a new person and live seriously.
The Money for the Zhou family's cultivation of land was still borrowed from relatives, who thought they could make a small profit, but as a result, they lost a lot of money, and Zhou Liqi realized that planting good land was not so simple.
Once, the cousin of the same village met Zhou Liqi in the field and casually said to him: "Now that you are so hot, why don't you shoot videos on the Internet!" ”
A sentence awakened the dreamer, Zhou Liqi reacted, he can be a blogger!
03 From a tram thief to a million Internet celebrities
On June 2, 2020, Zhou Liqi released the first video on the Kuaishou platform under the online name of "Guangxi Asan", with a total of 19 million views, and the content was an exhortation to the majority of netizens.
He said: "You don't imitate me, do your own thing, live well, I just want to be an ordinary person, take care of my parents, raise some chickens and ducks, and make life better at home."
Despite the simple content and rough picture quality of the video, he gained 1 million fans, and the popularity rose again and again in a short period of time after that, and the number of fans directly reached 3 million.
The same pomp and circumstance, the Douyin platform is the same, he just registered an account, has millions of fans.
Zhou's reappearance attracted a large number of followers, but most of them came with a lively mood, and the comment area was more full of ridiculous words.
There are also people who express strong dissatisfaction with him, they do not understand, a thief's words can make a lot of netizens crazy, such a trend is really lamentable.
There are also netizens who believe that knowing mistakes can improve Mo Dayan, as long as Zhou Mou can repent, be a dignified person, and no longer do the thing of stealing chickens and dogs, netizens express their opinions and talk about each other.
In the network environment, traffic is above all else, and these controversies bring only higher visibility to "Net Red Zhou".
Since then, he has released several farming videos on various platforms, with an average of several million views.
Zhou Liqi took advantage of this momentum to cooperate with a local electric vehicle brand in Guangxi, and the two sides held a signing ceremony, and he became a joint shareholder of the company.
The former "trolley thief" is now the owner of the tram brand, and netizens joked: I hope that the electric vehicle of this brand can add a number of anti-theft functions.
In just a few months, Zhou Liqi's mount became a luxury car, surrounded by beautiful women, and the money he earned was unattainable for his parents to farm for a lifetime.
His popularity was an accident, it was made out of the heat of the Internet, but once there was no such thing, he was nothing.
04 The current situation of internet celebrities
In recent years, the network self-media industry has developed rapidly, short videos have swept the country, at the same time, accompanied by the emergence of bad atmosphere, the relevant departments have strengthened supervision and vigorous rectification, Zhou Liqi has been labeled as a bad artist, and the account has been banned by the whole network.
For an Internet celebrity, being banned is equivalent to losing everything, since he can't be an Internet celebrity, what else can Zhou Liqi do?
It turns out that he really will never work, this time he directly invested 1 million yuan to open a barbecue restaurant, called "Zhou Mou Grill Bar".
On November 9, 2021, Zhou Mou's barbecue bar was officially opened, the store was full, the business was very hot, fans came from thousands of miles, just to witness the true appearance of Zhou Liqi, he also took a group photo with customers, on the same day, many of his Internet celebrity friends came to the store to congratulate him.
It is worth mentioning that in the set menu of Zhou's grilled bar, there is a "battery" menu, which includes dishes such as "battery fried squid", "Zhou's lamb skewers", "battery grilled lamb tenderloin" and so on.
In the beginning, the business of the barbecue bar was booming, but as soon as the freshness of the people passed, it was extremely cold.
Not long ago, netizens also broke the news that the glass of "Zhou Mou Baked Bar" was broken, and the current store is ready to transfer, the price is about 150,000 yuan, including all the appliances in the store, in addition, Zhou Liqi's luxury car has also been intentionally damaged, suspected of offending people.
Now Zhou Liqi has re-registered his account and is still active on social platforms, and in the video, he dresses plainly, sometimes feeding cattle in the farmland, sometimes studying the peppers he grows, and it seems that he has a very fulfilling life.
Such a Zhou Liqi captured the hearts of many female netizens, who shouted in the comment area: "Third brother, I want to marry you!" From this point of view, Zhou Liqi practiced his words and really would not work for a lifetime.
Write at the end:
Zhou Liqi's unexpected popularity was a farce, but the funny thing is that this farce has lasted so long on the Internet, and Zhou has become a "spiritual leader" in the minds of workers.
If everyone in the future is unwilling to work and wants to become an Internet celebrity like Zhou Liqi, then who will guard the future of our country?
The idol we pursue should be a doctor who saves lives and helps the injured, a soldier of the people who bravely moves forward in the face of difficulties, not a thief with the experience of "four entering the palace".
What Zhou Liqi should understand is that if you want to change the living conditions of poverty, you must first change yourself, and only what you get through struggle is the most reliable.
