Zhou, who has more than 3 million followers, has attracted much attention for his unusual success story. On November 11, 2020, he became popular because of his words "it is impossible to work part-time" and was nicknamed "Stealing Guevara". Although he has been imprisoned for theft several times, less than 7 months after his release, he successfully stepped on the second peak of his life and became the co-founder of Guangxi Feidonkey Electric Vehicle Technology Co., Ltd. At the same time, his fans on the short video platform are growing. When he was released from prison on April 18, 2020, he had already attracted widespread attention on almost the entire Internet. This traffic has attracted the attention of some capital and Internet celebrity companies, all of whom are eager to sign Zhou and repackage it for huge profits.
However, Zhou's success has sparked some controversy, with some feeling inconceivable and even ridiculous and unfair about the moral background of his success. Some people even had the idea of imitating Zhou, hoping that they could also embark on the road to success. However, this is not desirable from either a moral or legal point of view. First of all, Zhou's success is largely accidental and difficult to replicate. His initial remark that "it is impossible to work part-time" is actually just his personal show-off, and it is often a comparison and bragging between people from rural backgrounds or rural backgrounds. His words happened to resonate with many migrant workers, bringing a certain degree of emotional satisfaction, with a kind of humor, banter and emotional venting. Although some people jokingly expressed the idea of imitation, it is almost impossible to replicate Zhou's success, because Zhou's success is accidental.
Second, from a moral and legal point of view, Zhou's criminal experience cannot be tolerated. Officials criticizing him by name, banning him from live streaming and banning his account are the right moves to prevent him from engaging in illegal activities again as an Internet celebrity and reaping huge profits. Zhou has been jailed several times for theft, and these crimes should not be downplayed or tolerated. On his road to success, becoming a co-founder of an electric car company, while ironic, is also a "gift" to him, giving him traffic and fame. I hope that this opportunity can make him re-examine himself, re-be a person, achieve self-change, and also hope that this opportunity can help him achieve more stable and lasting success.
Finally, we should abide by the law and ethics, and distinguish between right and wrong. Don't easily follow or imitate the behavior of influencers and celebrities, and maintain rational thinking and basic moral concepts. Imitating Zhou's path to success is not a desirable option, because this success is unique and cannot be simply replicated.
