On September 23, Mai Yao, a party in Zhu Jun's case, issued a long article saying that Zhu Jun had formally waived his lawsuit against his and Xianzi's honorary rights. At this point, the vigorous "Zhu Junxianzi case" has officially come to an end after five years.
According to well-known media sources, there are several reasons for Zhu Jun's withdrawal of the lawsuit: First, Zhu Jun fell seriously ill in April this year, and his health has not yet improved, which is very worrying. After falling ill, he wanted to drive a lot, just wanted to quietly accompany his wife and children and live a stable life.
From an objective point of view, affected by the storm of public opinion, since the beginning of the case, Zhu Jun's career that he has worked hard to build for many years has been ruined.
Moreover, at this time, he was close to retirement, and he really did not want to continue to litigate on this matter, and finally chose to give up and end this matter in this way.
Zhu Jun's case is probably the biggest storm that CCTV hosts have suffered in recent years.
In July 2018, CCTV intern Xian Zi sued Zhu Jun for sexual harassment of himself, which aroused widespread public attention.
Xu Chao, a friend of Xianzi (aka Mai Yao mentioned above), posted a long post on Weibo to boost his momentum and make the matter widely known.
When interviewed by the camera, Xianzi showed a "weak and pitiful" image, which aroused widespread sympathy among netizens.
In September of that year, Zhu Jun filed a defamation lawsuit against Xu Chao and Xianzi, and at the same time, Xianzi also formally sued Zhu Jun, and the "Zhu Jun sexual harassment case" officially entered the judicial process.
Until this time, Xianzi still insisted on fighting Zhu Jun to the end, and when interviewed by reporters, Xianzi swore and said: "I may also be a little provoked today, when I saw the indictment (book), I didn't quite understand why it was obviously something that (Zhu Jun) did himself, but I didn't admit it." ”
Xu Chao also told reporters: "If I don't come forward, or if I retreat, it may mean that this matter will not end in the end." ”
In order to win this lawsuit, Xianzi and Xu Chao performed extremely hard:
Xianzi first sold miserable in front of the camera, crying that Zhu Jun had too much energy and that he was treated unfairly after calling the police, and then said that if he won the case, all the money would be donated to women in need...
This time came and went, before the case began, Xianzi's body brought a layer of "petition for the people" color.
From the perspective of public opinion, this case Zhu Jun is naturally unfavorable, the status of the host and the intern is very different, the latter is easier to win the sympathy of the public, because this lawsuit, Zhu Jun's work must not be suspended, and he himself has to bear the pressure from the Internet.
In contrast, since this incident was exposed, Xianzi's popularity has soared rapidly, she has not only become a role model for contemporary women, but also received soft speech announcements, and even rated as a representative of the BBC...
Overnight, Xianzi actually became a representative figure of Chinese women's rights, and there was a tendency to step on Zhu Jun's position.
However, the reversal of reality soon came, and as the legal process progressed, the court found that the evidence submitted by Xianzi was insufficient to prove that Zhu Jun had harassed him, and both the first and second trials of Xianzi lost the case.
On December 29, 2022, Zhu Jun posted on social media: "The countdown to the New Year, on the way to work in Taili, Beijing began to jam traffic again. ”
This marks that even Zhu Jun's old employer, CCTV, has determined that Zhu Jun is not guilty. With the relevant news, the case of Zhu Junxianzi ushered in the reveal.
Overnight, due to the framing, Xianzi's reputation fell to the bottom.
The case of Xianzi suing Zhu Jun is over, and the case of Zhu Jun suing Xianzi for defamation is still ongoing.
In the days that followed, Xianzi and Xu Chao continued to launch an online public opinion offensive to resist the negative corner, causing the case to drag on to this day.
At this time, Zhu Jun was already very old, and after being tortured by this case for four whole years, he had no intention of continuing to fight, and finally chose to give up for various reasons.
Although Xianzi and Xu Chao were finally exempted from the punishment of the law, with the deep pickpocketing of netizens, the true face of the two was undoubtedly revealed in front of the public.
One of the puzzling points in this incident is that this is obviously just a criminal case, why is it linked to "women's rights organizations"? Even the BBC has to "crown" it?
In fact, Xianzi's prosecution of Zhu Jun is likely to be a long-planned conspiracy.
XIAN ZI HIMSELF HAS LONG BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ORGANIZATION CALLED "ME TOO", WHICH IS FUNDED BY ANTI-CHINA NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED FOR MANY YEARS TO BE ENGAGED IN INCITEMENT OF PUBLIC OPINION.
During the epidemic, Xianzi also took the initiative to take the lead in attacking, vigorously disparageing China, touting Pfizer and other operations, as for Xu Chao, it was even more difficult, publicly making statements that denigrated the country.
It is difficult not to suspect that framing Zhu Jun is also part of their plan.
It is not easy for Zhu Jun to stand on such a stage.
Zhu Junben was a boy from a poor family of 11 in Gansu Province, and his father made a living by playing the clarinet, earning a meagre income and often not having enough to eat. Zhu Jun was influenced by his father from a young age and learned musical instruments.
In 1988, he entered a song and dance troupe as a comedian, and after many years of hard work and study, he had the opportunity to become a CCTV host.
For many years, he had been dedicated to this position, but no one could have imagined that a false accusation would interrupt his career for four years.
Looking back at the "Zhu Jun case," we should not hastily characterize the incident before the legal judgment. It needs to be fully investigated, based on facts, not just first impressions. Otherwise, it is very likely that trouble will come out of the mouth, resulting in unjust, false and wrong cases. It is also a general reflection of a society.
The case is a reflection on how sexual assault cases are viewed, on the pressures of public opinion, and on the caution that everyone should take when disseminating information.
And Zhu Jun finally chose to withdraw the lawsuit and withdraw from the cusp of the storm, which also made people sigh the impermanence of life after becoming famous.
