"A good heavenly girl, how did she fall to this point?"
Recently, Peking University Colonel Hua Peng Peng sang and was put on the cusp.
Some people say that she sells miserable hype, some say that she plays a good hand of cards and sparse, some say that she is willing to fall...
As everyone knows, behind everyone's discussion is a genius scholar's embarrassing reversal of life.

From childhood to adulthood, Peng Gaosing has always been "a child of other people".
Her life seems to have opened:
In early school, she was escorted to Yali Middle School, a century-old school in Changsha;
In the middle school entrance examination, she went straight to the high school of this school with excellent results;
University, she was even admitted to Peking University without accident.
In addition to his good cultural achievements, Peng Gaosing's talent in talent is even more amazing.
Dance, music theory, piano, hosting...
She mastered every item, and even cultivated to the professional level.
In her second year of high school, Peng Gao, who was 17 years old, was invited to Vienna's Musikverein to host the opening concert of the "Austrian-Chinese Cultural Festival".
became the youngest host to ascend the Golden Hall after Yang Lan.
What is even more exciting is that Peng Gaosing is still a student with both appearance and strength.
In 2013, she won the first place in the online vote in the first round of the "Miss Asia" beauty pageant.
Since then, her name as "Peking University Flower" has resounded throughout the campus.
It stands to reason that if she is as good as Peng Gao, her future will be bright.
But it's a pity that from the moment she walked out of the school, the aura on her body dissipated little by little.

According to the original plan, Peng Gaosing would become a diplomat after graduation, and her major was a small language.
Unfortunately, the Foreign Ministry did not enroll students at Peking University that year, so her dream of being a diplomat was shattered.
So she had to find another way.
After several rounds of brutal interviews, 24-year-old Peng Gaosing got an offer from the world's top advertising agency, Ogilvy Advertising.
It cannot be said that she took this step wrong, but it can only be said that this is a very important turning point in her life.
According to Peng, after entering Ogilvy, she felt a huge gap.
When you enter an unfamiliar territory, you have to start from scratch.
She is not afraid of hardship or difficulty, but she has never been able to adapt to the set of "rules" in the workplace.
She can't deal with difficult customers, she can't put aside her pride to please others, and she can't talk and laugh in the drinking party.
Just thinking of this almost exhausted her entire mental energy.
Peng Gao, who has not experienced any setbacks since he was a child, has become more and more depressed in such a working environment.
By chance, Peng Gaosing came up with the idea of becoming an actor.
So she decided to quit naked and start again on a different track.
In 2015, a crew planned to remake "Full House", and Peng Gaosing signed up for the selection of actors.
Originally, she went to the heroine, but in the end she only got a supporting role in the flanger.
The unfavorable start deeply hit Peng Gaosing's self-confidence.
She later tried to interview other crews, but the results were not satisfactory, and she could only receive some shoddy small online dramas.
Peng Gao, who did not admit defeat, decided to improve his competitiveness:
Not from a professional background, she went to the training class to practice the basic skills hard;
Not used to dealing with all kinds of interpersonal relationships, she put down her body to participate in the wine bureau to fight for opportunities for herself;
……
But in the end, the harvest is not much.
"Female Psychologist" as Li Wei
For 7 years, Peng Gaosing has not been able to make a "famous" in the entertainment industry.
Let her be frustrated, but also let her recognize the reality -
The entertainment industry is not so easy to mix, appearance, resources, connections and luck... Indispensable.
In 2022, 13 years after "North Drift", Peng Gaosong announced that he "failed North Drift".
She and her husband decided to return to their old family to open a stinky tofu shop, often by their side.
For this decision, Peng Gao sang freely and also regretted a little.
Although she does not think that selling stinky tofu is a "worthless" and "shameful" thing.
I even feel happy that stinky tofu is loved by everyone.
However, judging from her name of the store "Food Eight Coffee" (taken from the homonym of "Eighteen Coffee"), there is quite a sense of self-ridicule.
From Peking University to the current owner of a stinky tofu shop, Peng Gaosing is not so much reconciling with himself as with society.
Who wouldn't want to be a glamorous big star with fame and fortune?
But the truth is that she has been smoothed out by reality and can only go to sell stinky tofu.
She can be uncompromising, or she can continue to be a drifter.
But she knows that she can't see a hopeful future, just constant internal attrition.
So instead of staying in Beijing and continuing to "suffer", it is better to find a new way out.
In fact, Peng Gaosing's choice not only represents herself, but also represents a group to some extent.

I don't know if you have found that in recent years, there are many high-achieving students like Peng Gaosing, who put down their prestigious school qualifications and returned to ordinary careers.
Among them, the most prestigious is the "Butcher of Peking University" Lu Buxuan.
He graduated from the Chinese Department of Peking University, but eventually made a living selling pork.
In 1989, after graduating from Lu Buxuan, he was assigned to work in Chang'an District Diesel Engine Factory.
Although the work is stable, it is overkill.
Later, Lu Buxuan went to the sea to do business and successively worked in various occupations, but it was difficult to make a living.
In 2000, Lu Buxuan decided to rent a house and open a butcher shop, and a weak scholar took up a meat cleaver.
For a time, the topic of "Peking University talents selling meat on the street" exploded in hot searches.
Many people say that Lu Buxuan wasted educational resources and failed his parents and teachers for more than ten years of hard work.
What's more, they began to sing the theory that "reading is useless".
But what they didn't expect was that Lu Buxuan, who graduated from Peking University, was naturally very different from other ordinary pig killers.
After 2004, Lu Buxuan wrote and published his 200,000-word non-fiction book "Butcher Sees the World".
In 2008, Lu Buxuan met Chen Sheng, who is also an alumnus of Peking University and a "meat seller" in Guangzhou.
The two "meat sellers" hit it off, funded by classmates, and began to organize their own "butcher school".
At the same time, Lu Buxuan wrote teaching materials for the butcher school, covering marketing, nutrition, etiquette, gastronomy and other subjects.
Today, Lu Buxuan's pork shop has annual sales of more than one billion yuan, which is the leader in the pork industry.
After his success, Lu Buxuan donated 900 million yuan to his alma mater.
He proved himself in front of the world, and also used his practical actions to break the erroneous theory of "reading is useless".
I dare not say that Peng Gao's concert will be the same as Lu Buxuan, turning over against the wind.
I also know that few of those high-achieving students who have returned to ordinary careers can reach the height of Lu Buxuan.
But I want to say that they are willing to take off Kong Yiji's robe in order to live, which is already very powerful.
In reality, how many people can't "get off"?
In the eyes of many people, high-achieving students should have a glamorous job.
Otherwise, it is "failure", it is "degeneration", it is "rotten"...
But in fact, have they ever thought that whether a person can "succeed" is not determined by academic qualifications alone.
Luck, ability, resources, etc., these are all stepping stones on the road to success.
Peng Gao's singing sells stinky tofu and Lu Buxuan sells pork, to some extent, it is also their helpless move.
They have to feed themselves and their families.
Of course, I don't say this to encourage those unemployed high-achieving students to learn from them and take off their "long coats" and return to ordinary occupations.
Because I know that they can't take off their "long coats", not only because they can't pull off the shelves and wipe their faces.
Rather, the cost of them taking off their "tunics" is constantly increasing.
In addition to the severe employment situation, many companies and factories have reverse academic discrimination.
They only recruit people with junior and senior high school degrees, not high-achieving students.
Why?
Because they feel that high-caliber students are "high-eyed and low-handed", low-educated employees are easier to control than them.
This discrimination makes the hearts of the high-achieving students more vacillating -
"If I take off my robe and still can't find a job, I might as well not take it off in the first place."
If you don't take it off, you can leave some decency, but if you take it off, you will lose face. ”
Therefore, if they can't take off their long robes, they can't be blamed for everything.
To take it off or not to take it off? There is also no such thing as a "right answer".
There are many ways to live in this life, you just need to have a clear conscience.
