"Hmm... Uh-huh...", this is what the host Dou Wentao said most often when he was a child.
In 1967, Dou Wentao was born in an ordinary peasant family in Hebei, the family was extremely poor, and little Dou Wentao had a problem - serious stuttering.
He always slurred what he wanted to say, and was often ridiculed by his classmates as a "stammering sinus". This made the introvert more and more reticent, and even avoided communicating with others.
Seeing that he was becoming more and more inferior and closed-minded, Dou Wentao's Chinese teacher tried every means to make him regain his interest in speaking.
With the encouragement of his teacher, Dou Wentao decided to represent the class in the New Year's recitation competition. Every day after school, he repeated the passage word by word, trying to overcome the problem of stuttering, and finally won the second place.
After graduating from high school, Dou Wentao left his hometown and came to Wuhan to study in the Department of Chinese at Wuhan University.
In his sophomore year, he joined the campus radio station and began to work as a radio host. Frequent recordings and broadcasts have honed his eloquence and allowed him to gradually find the direction of his life.
After graduating from university, Dou Wentao's dream was to become a good journalist. In 1989, the radio station gave him an opportunity to host several episodes.
But because he expressed some opinions on the show, he was suspended for 3 months.
This setback made him realize that hosting a show is not just passion, but also wisdom. But this did not shake his pursuit of career, he believes that as long as he insists on himself, he will definitely find his own position.
In 1995, 28-year-old Dou Wentao resolutely decided to resign from public office and went to Hong Kong Phoenix Satellite TV to seek new opportunities.
When he first arrived in Hong Kong, he was strapped for money, and shared a small apartment with two hosts, Lu Yu and Xu Gehui, who were also from the mainland.
The three of them slept in small bunk beds at night, and went to work separately during the day, and the salary they managed to save was only enough to fill their stomachs except for paying rent.
Despite the hardships of life, they both came with the dream of becoming well-known hosts, and the three soon became close friends, encouraging each other after work.
With tacit cooperation, the three of them soon became the golden combination of Phoenix Satellite TV, and the talk show hosted by them was welcomed by the audience.
More than 10 years have passed, Lu Yu and Xu Gehui have their own emotional homes, but Dou Wentao is still alone. They will meet often, reminisce about the past through thick and thin, and maintain a deep family-like friendship.
In 2002, Dou Wentao and Faye Wong were photographed by reporters when they were traveling in Singapore. According to insiders, Faye Wong is a loyal listener of Dou Wentao and once took the initiative to ask to get to know Dou Wentao.
In the face of rumors from the outside world, the parties were always noncommittal, and it was not until 2005 that Faye Wong and Li Yapeng got married, and this scandal officially ended.
In addition to the short-term scandal, the ambiguous relationship between Dou Wentao and actress Yu Feihong for more than ten years is the most curious.
Although the parties emphasized that they were just ordinary friends, this seemingly "abnormal" relationship lasted for more than 10 years, and Yu Feihong also laughed and said that as long as Dou Wentao opened his mouth, she could marry him at any time.
Time has passed, and now 56-year-old Dou Wentao remains single. There are various speculations about why he never married, some people say that it is because he has never forgotten his first love, and some people think that it is because he devoted himself to his career.
But no matter how he analyzed, Dou Wentao never said a word, and went his own way. Today, he has become one of the top hosts in China, has his own personal talk show, and his career has reached its peak.
Looking back, Dou Wentao started from a small staff member of Guangdong TV Station, then to the success of Hong Kong Phoenix, and finally became a leader in the industry.
His life journey was full of setbacks and hardships, but he was also accompanied by friends and lovers. Just like the talk show he hosted, his life course was full of ups and downs, and he struggled to move forward. Looking back now, all the sweat and tears have turned into ideal fruits.
Although Dou Wentao has experienced many emotional experiences, his persistence in his dreams has never wavered. It is this belief that has supported him to cross the single-plank bridge and reach the other side of success.
His story has inspired countless young people who are not afraid of hard work. As long as your heart is free to dance for your dreams, there is no tomorrow that cannot be reached.
