The studio confirmed that Zhou Haimei passed away on December 11, what rumors are Tan Fei and Chen Xunqi refuting?
After a series of twists and turns of "the obituary broke the news caused a sensation on the whole network - the whistleblower was accused of spreading rumors and quietly deleted the post - industry insiders came forward to refute the rumors", a generation of goddess Zhou Haimei finally left us. On the night of December 12, Zhou Haimei's studio released a painful obituary, announcing Zhou Haimei's death.
Obituary published by Zhou Haimei's studio
Today's many middle-aged and elderly people have watched Zhou Haimei's screen youth all the way, and for the post-95s and post-00s, maybe she is just the extermination master in the new "Yitian", and the "diva" of "Xiangmi" who was scolded to withdraw from the network; more young people only know about the existence of a character like her through online videos.

From the death of Coco Lee, to the death of Matthew Perry, the actor of Chandler in "Friends", and then to the death of Zhou Haimei, the years are flowing as the years go by, the idols of a generation are gradually fading, and the common familiar memories belonging to an era are disappearing little by little.
The red face is old, and the world is like dust. The Si people have passed away, and we can only remember.
In addition to infinite grief and regret, looking back at Zhou Haimei's obituary revelation and fermentation incident, there are actually many confusions - the studio's official obituary shows that Zhou Haimei died of illness on December 11. However, how come there are still so many people who stand up to refute the rumors around December 12?
Chen Xunqi and Tan Fei refuted the rumors
Chen Xunqi is a friend of Zhou Haimei and a famous Hong Kong director, and Tan Fei is a well-known producer, it is precisely because of their good relationship and authoritative status with Zhou Haimei that their refutation of rumors is particularly credible, and they are quickly regarded as the truth by everyone.
At 12 noon on December 12, he accepted a telephone interview with the so-called self-media "Lao Du Media-Duen Lake" for the second time, revealing that "Zhou Haimei is expected to recover her health".
However, now under their self-proclaimed "rumor-refuter" Weibo, there is the anger of netizens. How relieved they were at the beginning because of their refutation of rumors, but now they are disgusting.
If we originally thought that the whistleblower was an unscrupulous person who ate human blood steamed buns, it turned out that these rumor-refuting people who swore and were slapped in the face are more like people who rub their conscience against the heat. In the absence of knowing the truth at all, you can still make empty guarantees, in the final analysis, it is just a gimmick to use the deceased as a gimmick. It not only offends the deceased, but also does not respect netizens.
In any case, life and death are major events, rubbing this kind of heat and grabbing this kind of traffic, except for the word "next work", I can't find other more appropriate words to judge.
The plot of "News Queen" shines into reality: rumors are illegal for lack of morality, and false rumors are also unforgivable
When the whistleblower of Zhou Haimei's obituary was accused of spreading rumors, many netizens sighed that the Zhou Haimei incident was like a plot of "News Queen" into reality, as if it was staging a realistic version of "Zheng Bo's death".
In the hit Hong Kong drama "News Queen", there is a scene where the heroine compromises reality, discards professionalism, and preemptively broadcasts the death of the richest man Zheng Bo without being sure of the source and unable to verify the truth of the news. The conflicts and contradictions between the compassion and sincerity of human nature, the professionalism of journalists, and the profit-seeking nature of capitalists have become prominent.

In fact, when I first saw this episode, I felt very outrageous, angry that I was detached from the facts in order to grab the headlines and grab the exclusive report, but also powerless that such things often happen in the real world.
But journalism is based on facts, and a person who does journalism has no professional ethics and ignores the truth, hoping to win the recognition of the industry by relying on an accidental "bet right", which is no different from a gambler. Only doctors can determine death, the media cannot. Facts and truth alone are fundamental to the survival of journalism and its practitioners, and nothing else.

However, in Zhou Haimei's obituary breaking the news, after several twists and turns, the rumor-refuting person turned out to be a rumor-monger, and sure enough, reality is always more ironic and absurd than a work of art. What we should think about and discuss now is not only the question of whether the media should rush to issue it, but also the question of how media people from all walks of life should seek truth and verify it, and how to be cautious and upright.
Rumor-mongering lacks morality and is illegal, and it is a fact that everyone agrees. In the name of "refuting rumors" and carrying out false acts of spreading rumors, confusing the public and maliciously misleading public opinion, it is an even more disgusting and sick act, and it should be paid a corresponding price.

Some people will only be remembered after they have passed away:
The darkness of human nature and the coldness of the spectator
From this incident, let's talk about something else.
In fact, the news of the "death of a celebrity" has long become a menstrual post. There have been more than one rumor that the death of a celebrity was finally found to be a rumor, and this kind of rumor has been staged again and again, and there are always a few fixed people. For example, Jet Li is often "deceased" in rumors, and recently provoked Xiang Tai Chen Lan to come out to refute the rumors. There are also Xie Xian, Sammo Hung , Andy Lau , Zhao Benshan ...... Some of these unfounded rumors are pure rumors, and some of them are news that the other party is sick or seriously ill and somehow spread to death. In the face of the half-truthed and false news, many unscrupulous media moved when they heard the news, and rushed to send it out to grab traffic before they had time to confirm it. So the three of them became tigers, spreading a bigger and more crooked absurd illusion.

However, many people are cherished and missed only when they are truly deceased. For example, Coco Li and Zhou Haimei, who were almost forgotten by the public, were rarely mentioned when they were alive, but after their deaths, they set off a huge wave of mourning in the entertainment industry like a butterfly flapping its wings.
Another example is Cui Xueli, who was abused and suppressed by the whole network before her death, even if she once forced a laugh in front of the camera and said, "Please love me more by reporters and audiences", in exchange for being ridiculed, disliked, and verbally violent by netizens. It wasn't until she really hanged herself that the people who had been violent on the Internet and the people who were indifferent onlookers woke up like a dream and began to collectively miss her truth and beauty.
The cold, absurd and comical appearance of the world mocks every visitor equally.

It must be known that the good things in the world are not firm, and the colorful clouds are easy to disperse and the glass is brittle.
We've lost too many people we know well, too many times we've been awakened in unconscious indifference, and yet it's too late. Neglected people like Coco Li, Zhou Haimei, and even Shirley are not only in the distant entertainment industry, not only on the untouchable Internet, but also around us.
If there is anything we can learn from growing up, growing old and being separated, it is "living in the moment" and "cherishing the people in front of us". The impermanence and fragility of life have always been the norm that cannot be broken, and all the time that was just ordinary at that time is as fleeting as a white horse, and there is no room for contempt and neglect. Therefore, I hope that each of us can no longer be indifferent, no longer numb, and no longer take for granted the warm daily Xi at our fingertips. Cherishing it when you can get it is far better than regretting it after losing it.
epilogue
The ups and downs of the world are tired of all kinds of fame and fortune, but now these pickled trivial matters have nothing to do with Zhou Haimei.
It was once said in "Dream Travel" that death is not the end, forgetting is. Whether it is to our mutual idol Zhou Haimei, or to other close people who may have passed away, all we can do is to deeply remember the good memories that TA brought us, remember the brilliant times we spent together, and then live well in this perhaps not beautiful world with the happiness that belongs to TA.
From "Dream Travel"
Zhou Haimei, go all the way. Life has its own end, but the beautiful memories you leave behind will live forever with all the good things in this world.
