Recently, 58-year-old Xie Dong shared photos of the family traveling by boat on social media.
On that day, he wore a soft green top, and the bald head looked clean and neat,
But there were obvious signs of happiness on his face, which made him look a lot more vicissitudes.
Along with Xie Dong, there is also his wife Tan Jingyi and his three-year-old son.
Whether the family is dressed or the background of the boat behind them,
All let netizens shout "grounded gas".
Indeed, compared with the extravagant picture of other stars in the entertainment industry often chartering yachts to go to sea,
Xie Dong's daily life is really unexpected by netizens.
In the 1990s, Xie Dong, as a representative of male singers in the mainland,
It has been popular all over the country, with fame and fortune and unlimited scenery.
His famous masterpiece "Smiley Face" is sung all over the streets of China,
Whether it is men, women or children, they will hum a few words.
But unfortunately, the later Xie Dong went astray and embarked on the road of drug addiction.
And repeatedly, the public image has suffered a devastating blow,
In the end, the career was buried by his own hands, and a good card was played thinly.
In addition to the ups and downs of the acting career,
In Xie Dong's body, there are still many hot topics,
For example, like the love triangle between him and Dai Liao and Yang Yuying,
There are also rumors that he is the illegitimate son of the cross-talk master Hou Baolin,
No matter which one it was, it caused an uproar in the entertainment industry at that time.
Xie Dong, born in Beijing in 1963, the father of the well-known actor Xie Lingxiao,
Her mother was the famous "single string queen" Ma Zenghui.
In 1980, 17-year-old Xie Dong graduated from high school, and at that time he had a dream of being a singer.
Eager to be like a parent, harvesting flowers and applause in the professional field.
Xie Dong's voice condition is very good, but there is a fatal flaw in him,
That is, his appearance is too sorry, and he really does not have the basic conditions for being a star.
Therefore, Xie Dong, under the arrangement of his parents, entered the CCTV work and was responsible for the behind-the-scenes production.
He spent his days waiting for the opportunity that belonged to him.
In 1993, the opportunity that Xie Dong had been waiting for finally came,
His good friend Chen Xiangyu wrote a new song "Smiley Face",
Thinking that it was very suitable for Xie Dong, he invited him to sing,
After the recording was completed, the song was arranged to be broadcast in the "Oriental Time and Space 95 New Songs" program at that time.
No one expected that the song would soon catch fire,
The program team has received letters from audience fans across the country, asking to play it several times.
In this way, the 30-year-old Xie Dong successfully debuted and quickly became popular.
The following year, Xie Dong, who had become popular, released his first music album "Smiling Face Waiting All the Way".
The album sold very well, which further stabilized Xie Dong's position in the music scene.
On Chinese New Year's Eve Night 1995, Xie Dong was invited by the CCTV Spring Festival Gala to sing the famous work "Smiley Face" on stage.
The next day, the streets and alleys of the country sounded the singing melody of "Smiley Face",
At this time, Xie Dong finally experienced the feeling of great popularity.
After stepping on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, Xie Dong no longer stopped at the singing career,
Began to make cameo appearances in movies and TV series,
In many works such as "Romantic Street" directed by Guan Hu and "Temporary Family" directed by Liang Zuo,
You can see Xie Dong's figure, and in those years he became a regular guest on TV, familiar and loved by the audience.
In 1998, under the advice of his parents, Xie Dong temporarily left the music scene and entered the Department of North Film Literature for further study.
This news shocked the media and the audience, after all, at that time, he was at the peak of his acting career.
Xie Dong's statement to the outside world is that he hopes to fill the gap in his previous study experience.
But at that time, he did not expect it at all, and when he came back,
The mainland music scene has long changed the world, and his acting career can never return to the past.
In 2003, Xie Dong, who successfully graduated from Beiying, began to prepare for a comeback.
Some film investors took a fancy to his new script, agreed to fund the filming and invited him to be the male lead.
Subsequently, the two sides signed the relevant contract, but what they did not expect was that
On the eve of the start of filming, Xie Dong suddenly received a notice to cancel the shooting,
It turned out that the cooperation between the investor and the actress collapsed, and it could not be replaced for a while.
The investor was worried that the input cost would not be recovered, so it canceled the cooperation.
And according to the contract, Xie Dong did not get any compensation and was very passive.
This change caused Xie Dong to be devastated, and he began to try to seek other opportunities.
But unfortunately, the god of luck did not take care of him again,
Over time, his popularity also began to decline all the way, until no one cared.
In May 2007, Xie Dong, who had not appeared in the public eye for a long time,
Suddenly, the explosive news of drug use at home suddenly made him the focus of public opinion.
As we all know, once the stars are mixed with negative news such as drug use,
It heralds the end of his acting career. After Xie Dong was released,
Publicly state that he will become a new person and no longer be contaminated with drugs.
But what everyone didn't expect was that just 7 months later,
Xie Dong was imprisoned again for drug use, repeating the same mistakes in such a short period of time.
At that time, Xie Dong became the target of public criticism again, and was criticized by the media and the public.
After being caught taking drugs for the second time, Xie Dong was silent for about three years.
At the beginning of 2011, Xie Dong, who had not appeared for a long time, appeared on TV again.
The reason for the show is not because of a performance, or because of drug use.
According to media reports, Xie Dong found a reason for his career development not going well.
But in any case, as a public figure, there is even more reason to restrain yourself.
Three in and three out, Xie Dong once again accepted the severe punishment of the law because of repeated teachings and intransigence.
At the same time, in the eyes of the media audience, he has also become an addict who endangers society, and everyone shouts and beats.
In addition to the drug abuse storm, there are many topics in Xie Dong's body.
For example, the vigorous love triangle between him and the singers Dai Liao and Yang Yuying,
That year was also an explosion that shocked the entertainment industry, earning enough eyeballs.
In 1993, in a bar near the Beijing Military Museum,
Dai Liao, a singer who was singing on the stage, met Xie Dong, who came to consume.
At that time, Dai Liao was only 21 years old, and Xie Dong was already 30 years old.
Although Xie Dong's appearance does not occupy an advantage, he still holds the beauty with rhetoric.
Not long after the two established a relationship, Xie Dong became popular because of singing "Smiley Face".
At the same time, Dai Lou was not far behind, she won the championship in the newcomer competition held by the Emperor Group at that time,
Subsequently, he signed a contract with a record company and began to debut in the mainland music scene.
Just when the two careers were on the right track at the same time, Xie Dong, who was in the heart, derailed,
According to media reports at the time, Xie Dong took advantage of Dai Liao's overseas performances,
Hooked up with another female singer in the circle, and even brought back to his residence with Dai Liao,
Unexpectedly, Dai Liao returned to China in advance, so there was a scene of catching the adulteress in bed.
Because Xie Dong and Dai Liao were already popular at that time, this derailment incident became the focus of media chase.
Although Dai Liao did not say the name of the female singer to the outside world,
But soon an insider broke the news to the media, saying that the female singer who cheated on Xie Dong was Yang Yuying.
And it was accompanied by evidence, when the news came to light,
Yang Yuying is waiting in the backstage of a performance, Yang Yuying's boyfriend Chen Luo after learning the news,
In front of everyone, he slapped Yang Yuying.
After the incident, the three immediately became the object of media coverage.
At the same time, the development trend of the relationship between the three people has also become the focus of attention from the outside world.
Not long after, Dai Luo officially announced the news that she and Xie Dong had broken up,
And Xie Dong and Yang Yuying also did not have the following, Yang Yuying's brokerage company in order to save her public image,
He packaged her and another newcomer singer, Mao Ning, into a golden boy and a jade girl.
At this point, the storm caused by this love triangle has been calmed.
In addition to the emotional experience that attracted much attention, in the entertainment industry at that time,
It has always been said that Xie Dong was the illegitimate son of the famous cross-talk master Hou Baolin.
Whether this rumor is true or not, I am afraid it must start from the generation of Xie Dong's parents.
Xie Dong's mother, Ma Zenghui, was born in a family of quyi,
Ma Zenghui's father, Ma Liandeng, is a famous commentator in China.
Influenced by her father from childhood, Ma Zenghui began to learn to sing the big drum of the West River.
At the age of 15, Ma Zenghui joined the China Radio Rap Company.
Began to learn to sing single strings, with pure singing skills,
Ma Zenghui quickly opened his own single-string era,
The media and audience gave her the nickname of "single string queen".
Later, Ma Zenghui married Xie Lingxiao, an actor who also worked in a Chinese radio rap group.
After marriage, the two gave birth to a pair of children, of which the son was Xie Dong.
As for why there were rumors later that Xie Dong was Hou Baolin's illegitimate son,
That's because Xie Dong and Hou Baolin look very similar to each other when they become adults.
It's like a mold printed out,
In addition, Ma Zenghui and Hou Baolin did intersect when they were young.
According to media reports, the Ma family and the Hou family were originally family friends.
There is a friendship between the older generation of the two families,
Later, when Hou Baolin came to Beijing from Tianjin to develop, he had been living in the Ma family.
At that time, Ma Zenghui and Hou Baolin were very young,
So it's also expected that some stories will happen in the middle.
Later, after Hou Baolin's death, the media coverage of the illegitimate child began to decrease.
Until 2007, after Xie Dong was arrested for drug abuse,
The writer Wang Shuo's "righteous words" once again pushed the matter of illegitimate children to the cusp of the storm.
Xie Dong and Wang Shuo are both mixed in the Beijing circle, and the two have been good brothers since childhood.
After Xie Dong was arrested, Wang Shuo, who had always been unafraid of heaven,
An article was published online to fight for his brother Xie Dong.
In this article called "Ask Monkey Brother", Wang Shuo personally exposed Xie Dong's life,
He said that he was hou Baolin's fourth son, and also scolded the Hou family for not being authentic,
He pointed the spearhead directly at Hou Yaohua and scolded him for not asking questions about his own brother.
Wang Shuo's original intention in writing this article was originally to help his brother Xie Dong,
But after the article was published, the attention of the outside world focused on the fact that the illegitimate child was true or false.
And Wang Shuo's approach has also been attacked by netizen media,
In the face of this situation, Wang Shuo once again put down his bold words,
He said that if Xie Dong was not Hou Baolin's son, he was willing to pay the Hou family 1 million yuan.
1 million at that time, it was definitely a huge amount,
Wang Shuo dared to boast of such a haikou, I am afraid that he already knew the truth.
Hou Yaohua, who was shouted at by Wang Shuo, may have been to avoid suspicion.
There was a delay in coming forward to respond.
Soon after Xie Dong was released, the media immediately interviewed him on this matter.
Xie Dong first denied the rumors of illegitimate children, and then defended his good brother Wang Shuo a few words.
Xie Dong said that Wang Shuo did this out of fear for himself.
Later, after Xie Dong's career suffered a slippery slope, he gradually retired from the entertainment circle.
Reports of his life have also fallen out of the public eye.
Until 2018, at the wedding of Xie Dong and his wife Tan Jingyi,
Hou Yaohua unexpectedly appeared and made a speech on behalf of the representative, which triggered a heated discussion on the whole network.
According to online reports, when Hou Yaohua spoke as a representative of the man's family,
The term "blood is thicker than water" was used, and netizens speculated that Hou Yaohua described him and Xie Dong.
Judging from the exposed on-site photos, the relationship between Xie Dong and Hou Yaohua is very close.
Like a brother, he didn't avoid suspicion like before.
In January this year, some netizens took pictures of Xie Dong and Hou Yaohua in the same frame for the second time.
At that time, the two were eating at a restaurant, and Xie Dong introduced Hou Yaohua to the people at the same table as the "second brother".
Then Hou Yaohua also handed the food in his hand to Xie Dong,
The interaction between the two people looks quite familiar and natural.
From the avoidance of suspicion in the past, to today's intimate frame,
What has happened in the middle, I am afraid that only the parties themselves know,
For Xie Dong, his life experience has fluctuated greatly, and his life has been controversial.
The result now may be another kind of comfort for him.
