In 1979, 25-year-old Tang Guoqiang met Sun Tao in the film studio, and this beautiful and moving woman captured Tang Guoqiang's young and restless heart at once.
It turned out that Sun Tao was the daughter of the director of the studio, and her family background was prominent. Tang Guoqiang immediately realized that this was the opportunity given to him by God, and he must firmly seize it. He began to stick to Sun Tao's side all the time, offering courtesy to her and saying beautiful love words.
It didn't take long for the two to fall in love.
In 1979, 25-year-old Tang Guoqiang and Sun Tao entered the marriage hall. Relying on the influence of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Tang Guoqiang soon became a household name, and it didn't take long for him to become famous in the entertainment industry.
should be grateful to his wife for her great help in his career, but Tang Guoqiang obviously doesn't think so. He gradually grew tired of his wife's concern, and felt that the aura of his wife's family background was less worthy of his growing ambition.
Tang Guoqiang, who has become famous, began to look at no one, thinking that his wife could no longer satisfy his vanity, so he stepped on two boats and had an ambiguous relationship with other actresses.
Tang Guoqiang will soon have to pay the price for this mistake, but he didn't know anything at the time.
In the 90s, Tang Guoqiang's career reached its peak, but his life began to decline. He is famous, he is arrogant, openly leaves a thread outside, and no longer hides his grace.
Although his father-in-law and mother-in-law warned him many times, hoping that he would not be ungrateful and abandon his wife Sun Tao, Tang Guoqiang did not listen to the advice and continued to go his own way. He even lived with actress Zhuangli for a long time, and threatened Sun Tao with divorce many times.
Sun Tao, who has been under mental pressure for many years, has been exhausted. She tried to save the marriage, but Tang Guoqiang no longer existed in his eyes. On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve in 1990, Sun Tao, who was finally on the verge of collapse, chose to end his life.
She passed away, ending years of painful torture. However, Tang Guoqiang had no repentance for his wife's death, and soon returned to Zhuangli and continued his drunken obsession.
As a husband and father, he did not take his responsibilities at all, and continued to go his own way and live his own chic life.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is 2004. This year, Sun Tao's parents wanted to move the cemetery for their daughter and find a new site with good feng shui so that their daughter could rest in peace.
They contacted Tang Guoqiang, hoping that he could share part of the cost of moving the tomb. Unexpectedly, Tang Guoqiang not only refused to share the cost, but also foully claimed that the old couple was extortion.
This became the straw that broke the camel's back. The old couple finally couldn't bear their son-in-law's remarks anymore, and decided to make their daughter's two suicide notes public to expose the true face of this morally corrupt man.
The suicide note revealed that Tang Guoqiang had been mistreating his wife for a long time, blatantly cheating, and did not bear the responsibilities of a father at all, and finally forced the weak Sun Tao to choose suicide.
After reading these two moving suicide notes, readers were all indignant and condemned Tang Guoqiang's disloyalty and unfilial piety. For a while, Tang Guoqiang's reputation fell to the bottom, and no one cared about it anymore.
In 2009, Tang Guoqiang, who had lost his way, could only look for work everywhere to make a living. For the sake of money, he did not hesitate to take on advertising endorsements for all kinds of three-no products, even if he knew that there were serious problems with the quality of the products, he would accept all the orders.
That year, Tang Guoqiang endorsed a hair product that claimed to make gray hair black. This product hit a sky-high advertising fee and asked him to endorse it, promising that the effect was magical.
As a result, it was soon identified as a fraudulent product by the relevant authorities, and the promotional content was completely false. Next, Tang Guoqiang shot an advertisement for Lanxiang School, which is known for training excavator operators.
He praised Lan Xiang's first-class teaching quality with a smile on his face, but relevant reports soon exposed all kinds of negative news about the school.
For a time, Tang Guoqiang's credibility fell to the bottom. Many fans said that they abandoned him as if they were a shoe, an old artist, unscrupulous in order to make money, has lost the most basic moral bottom line.
Tang Guoqiang's reputation plummeted as a result, and no one was willing to ask him to endorse products.
The time that flies is unforgiving, and in a blink of an eye, Tang Guoqiang is 71 years old. This year, the veteran artist held a so-called "Red Art Exhibition", but the ticket prices were sky-high.
Many people questioned that he was collecting money at home and then going abroad to enjoy consumption. Indeed, over the years, Tang Guoqiang has always been able to sell a sketch for a high price of hundreds of thousands.
He commercialized his feelings and used the name of "red" to make a lot of money.
In fact, Tang Guoqiang in his later years still went his own way and was consumed by profit. He marked the calligraphy and paintings he wrote with his own hands at an outrageous price, and fans saw it in their eyes and felt pain in their hearts.
An old artist should be grateful and spend the rest of his life repaying the audience's support. But he just wants to monetize his fame and squeeze the feelings of his fans. This made many people look at this old man with great disappointment and pain.
Once upon a time, Tang Guoqiang in their eyes was synonymous with righteousness. Now, such an old artist is only full of lust and vanity. No matter how high his fame and fortune are, he can't make up for his image of a complete collapse in people's hearts.
Tang Guoqiang's evening festival is no longer guaranteed.

We also have to reflect on the fact that we can't rely on the power of the family to gain fame, Tang Guoqiang relied on his wife's family to achieve success, but he was conceited and ungrateful because of this. At the same time, he cannot lose his ideals for immediate interests, Tang Guoqiang will do whatever it takes for money, and eventually lose his public image.
Finally, gratitude is a virtue that everyone should have, and Tang Guoqiang's ingratitude led to tragedy, and we should all learn from it.
To sum up, Tang Guoqiang's life trajectory warns us: to be a humble, upright, and grateful person in order to gain long-term respect. We must keep in mind our original intentions, maintain a noble character, and spend the rest of our lives giving back to others, so that we can be worthy of our hearts.
Tang Guoqiang should become our negative teaching material, and his lessons are worth everyone's deep thought.
