preface
On July 10, 2022, Hong Kong singer Yue Wenle released a limited-time news on the social platform INS, and this dynamic has aroused the attention and discussion of many people. He shared a black-and-white photo of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. You must know that Shinzo Abe was assassinated on July 9, 2022.
Yu Wenle wrote "R.I.P" under the photo, along with three emojis with hands folded. This is clearly a tribute to Shinzo Abe. He also wrote in the description of the dynamic that he hoped that everyone could put aside their hatred and be willing to see the picture of China and Japan living in peace.
Such behavior quickly provoked a strong reaction from the countrymen. Many people are puzzled and dissatisfied with Yu Wenle's public expression. In their eyes, Mr. Abe is a figure with an unfriendly attitude toward China. During his tenure, many policies and decisions have hurt China. Seeing Yu Wenle mourning so publicly, he naturally felt very incomprehensible and even a little angry.
The voices on the Internet quickly converged into a big storm of discussion. Some people think that Yue Wenle is crying out for an anti-China politician, which makes them feel very uncomfortable. Others question his position, feeling that he does not know enough about Shinzo Abe's historical actions and views.
Yu Wenle's behavior this time also affected his career. Many netizens expressed their desire to boycott him, hoping that relevant institutions would remove his works, and even extreme voices called for his expulsion.
When it comes to Yu Wenle, it has been really popular for a while. He debuted at the age of 19, and at the age of 21, he became popular with "Infernal Affairs". At that time, even the Hong Kong media compared him to big stars Nicholas Tse and Tony Leung, saying that he might be their successor.
His singing voice was also quite good, and at the age of 21, he released his first album. After that, his career was like a hanging, singing, filming, all smooth sailing. During that time, he cooperated with some big-name stars, such as Jay Chou and Edison Chen, in "Head Text D". This took his career to the next level.
To say that Yue Wenle's movies have really cooperated with many big names, Tony Leung, Andy Lau, Li Ming, Jacky Cheung... These are the top stars of the Hong Kong film industry. And his popularity at that time was not inferior to the current Hong Kong "top" Jiang Tao.
In 2010, you may remember the "Zhiming and Chunjiao", right? Starring Yue Wenle and Yang Qianwei, that movie is really popular, not only in Hong Kong, but also in the mainland. This also allowed him to successfully enter the mainland market and began to appear in various variety shows in the mainland. In 2016, he also participated in "Let's Love Each Other" and formed CP with Zhou Dongyu, which was really red at that time.
Although he has always been very popular, it is not to the point of phenomena. He has always been very popular, has a number of fans, plus his appearance is also quite handsome, and he has opened his own trendy card. During that time, Hong Kong's entertainment industry was actually a bit downhill, but with his popularity in the "Chunjiao and Zhiming" series and variety shows, there was every chance to become more popular in the mainland. However, he did not seem to seize this opportunity, and although his later career was still very good, it seems that he did not reach that peak again.
On July 9 last year, a shocking news broke: Shinzo Abe, the longest-serving prime minister in Japanese history, was shot dead during the election campaign in Nara City. His death attracted a lot of attention, but for many Chinese, his image was not so positive.
First of all, it must be said that Shinzo Abe is really not a simple character. He spent a long time in Japanese politics, serving as prime minister four times in total. But during his tenure, he did a lot of things that upset Chinese.
When it comes to upsetting Chinese, then we must first mention the Yasukuni Shrine. This is a shrine that commemorates the dead in the war in Japan. They also paid homage to 14 World War II Class A war criminals there. During World War II, Japan invaded many countries and caused many deaths and injuries. So to go to this shrine to worship God, isn't that a blatant insult and provocation? And Shinzo Abe is one of the Japanese prime ministers who often visits, which naturally caused dissatisfaction and condemnation from many Chinese.
In addition to paying respects at the Yasukuni Shrine, Abe likes to go around saying that China is a threat and always wants to paint China as a big villain. He didn't just pay lip service, he also wanted to change Japan's pacifist constitution and strengthen Japan's defense force, as if he was afraid of China or something. This makes many people feel that he is not just verbally anti-China, but his behavior is obvious enough.
For many Chinese, not a nostalgic politician. His death is also impossible for people to forget what he did in the past. History remembers clearly, and what has been done cannot be erased.
Yu Wenle, he has caused some controversy more than once. The Chao brand online store he opened before made a big oolong, unexpectedly counting Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan as countries, and deliberately classifying Taiwan as an overseas region. As soon as this came out, the Internet exploded, and everyone was accusing him. As a result, he had to come out and apologize, saying that he was wrong and would not make this mistake in the future.
But seriously, did he really recognize his mistake? Or is it because you are afraid that your money bag will be affected? In fact, this kind of apology, many times because of economic pressure, and money can't get by, this matter is the same everywhere.
There is also an even more difficult thing to accept, that is, on the 85th anniversary of the "July Seven Incident". On that day, almost all Chinese stars were commemorating those compatriots who lost their lives in the war, in various ways, mourning and commemorating. But do you know what Yue Wenle did? He didn't even retweet it, as if it had nothing to do with him. What is even more infuriating is that the next day he generously mourned Shinzo Abe. This made many people angry and felt that he did it on purpose.
No matter how glamorous the appearance is, no matter how talented it is, it cannot hide the truth of a person's heart. After all, you don't know your face, you don't know your heart, don't you? If a person really has a problem, then even if he is famous and has achievements, he may eventually blow himself up. Because of character problems, it is difficult to hide, like a time bomb, sooner or later it will explode.
Why did Yue Wenle publicly mourn a politician from another country, Shinzo Abe? This question, in fact, many people want to know. Some speculate whether he was influenced by the Japanese or for other reasons. But this is all just speculation, and no one really knows the answer, except Yu Wenle himself.
What are the consequences for himself? Obviously, this was not a wise choice, and he probably did not expect that his own image and reputation would be seriously damaged as a result. Many fans who originally supported him may leave him because of this. After all, as a public figure, he should be aware that his actions affect many people, and he should also know that he has a responsibility to society.
Chinese look at this matter with a clear eye. Feelings are a very delicate thing, and a little thing can hurt. He mourned Shinzo Abe, and many Chinese felt that it was a hurt to their feelings. Every Chinese knows very well in their hearts that they cannot compromise on the dignity and honor of the country. Yu Wenle's behavior this time is regarded by many as disrespectful to the Chinese people, which will naturally cause many people's dissatisfaction and anger.
Yu Wenle probably didn't expect things to be so big. But things happen, and you can only face it. No matter what he thinks in his heart, his actions have already had an impact, and the most important thing now is how to deal with all this and how to make up for this mistake. I hope he can seriously reflect and understand what the bottom line of social responsibility and morality of a public figure is.
The survival and development of artists really depends to a large extent on the support and love of the public. In the entertainment industry, one wrong step may become the focus of attention. Yu Wenle publicly mourned Shinzo Abe, which really surprised many people.
This is not a simple trifle. This behavior not only made many Chinese people feel that he did not stand on China's side, but also directly damaged the image and reputation he had accumulated over the years. Many fans may have gained a new understanding of him because of this incident, and may also be disappointed because of it.
Everyone has the right to express their thoughts, but as a public figure, you still have to consider the impact of your words and actions. Yue's move may not only have a long-term impact on his career, but also make him lose his previous fan base.
I sincerely hope that Yu Wenle can realize his mistake, stand up and apologize for it as soon as possible, and face it honestly with everyone. A sincere apology may redeem something lost.
More broadly, I hope that all Singaporeans will be more patriotic and understand what we should really pursue and defend. We need to be aware and stand firm on those behaviors that attempt to challenge our core values. Let us work together for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and realize our common Chinese dream!
