Guo Jingjing's participation in the Hangzhou Asian Games torch relay caused controversy
Recently, Chinese diving queen Guo Jingjing has once again become the focus of public attention. She appeared in the Hangzhou Asian Games torch relay in plain makeup, and compared to the other participants, she did not dress up too much, showing her most authentic self. This behavior has sparked heated discussions among a large number of netizens. Some people admire her natural beauty and think that she shows a true rich demeanor, while others think that her skin condition appears a little loose and old.
What is more concerning is that the Japanese media also commented on this, believing that Guo Jingjing's participation in the torch relay without makeup was disrespectful to the Asian Games and the torch relay, and that her behavior was not dignified enough.
But Guo Jingjing was not affected, she posted photos of herself participating in the torch relay on social media, thanked all the staff who participated in the event, and also invited netizens to come to Hangzhou to feel the charm of Chinese culture.
Japanese media accusations against former Chinese female diver Guo Jingjing focused on her appearance in the Hangzhou Asian Games torch relay in plain face. The following is an analysis of this event:
1. Cultural differences: East Asian cultures, especially in Japan, have strict requirements for image and etiquette in public. In their view, public figures should present their best image at important public events to show respect for the event. Therefore, Guo Jingjing's plain face may be seen as disrespectful to the activity.
2. Compare to other participants: Compared to other participants in the torch relay, they may all have elaborate makeup and dress. Guo Jingjing's plain face contrasts with them, which may make her behavior even more compelling.
3. Responsibilities of public figures: As a public figure, especially a former sports star, Guo Jingjing's every behavior will be subject to magnifying glass. The Japanese media may think that, as a representative figure, she should set a good example for the younger generation.
4. The role of the media: The media often amplify certain events to attract public attention. The Japanese media's accusations against Guo Jingjing may also be aimed at attracting the attention of readers and viewers.
5. Historical background: There is a complex historical background between China and Japan, which may also affect the Japanese media's evaluation of Chinese public figures.
As public figures, their every act will indeed be noticed and evaluated by the public. This attention is often accompanied by enormous pressure, as any small misstep they make can be infinitely magnified.
So, in the face of such pressure, should public figures always maintain a perfect image, or should they present their true selves? This is a complex and thought-provoking question.
Benefits of maintaining a perfect image: 1. Meet public expectations: Many fans and viewers want the idols they worship to be perfect and flawless. Maintaining a perfect image can meet the expectations of this part of the population, which will lead to more support and love.
2. Commercial value: A public figure who always maintains a perfect image is more likely to get opportunities such as advertising endorsements, business cooperation, etc., because brand owners want to cooperate with the perfect image to improve their brand image.
3. Avoid controversy: Maintaining a perfect image can protect your reputation by avoiding a lot of unnecessary controversy and negative press.
Benefits of showing your true self: 1. Authenticity attracts: Public figures who show their true selves can resonate with many people. Many people are tired of public figures who always maintain a perfect image, and they prefer those who dare to show their true selves.
2. Build deep fan feelings: When public figures show their true side, their fans will feel more grounded and more likely to have a deep emotional connection.
3. Less stress in life: Without always maintaining a perfect image, public figures will feel that life is greatly less stressful and they can be more free to be themselves.
Whether it's maintaining a perfect image or presenting your true self, there are benefits to each other. But most importantly, public figures should make choices based on their true feelings and values, rather than being completely influenced by the outside world. Only in this way can they find their true selves in the public's attention and evaluation and live a truly happy life.
