In 2007, Zhao Hongfei, whose career reached its peak, returned to his hometown Tianjin to visit relatives. After a party with a few friends, he drove a female friend home. What was originally an ordinary act became a turning point that changed the trajectory of his life.
That night, Zhao Hongfei watched his friend walk into the community with a smile on his face, and when he turned around to leave, he received a distress text message from his girlfriend. He immediately turned around and tried to return, but it was too late.
After getting out of the car, his girlfriend met with an accident, and his young life was lost. The police soon intervened in the investigation, and Zhao Hongfei was summoned as an important witness to identify the scene. When faced with police questioning, Zhao Hongfei was heartbroken, but he still answered all the questions honestly.
In the end, after the investigation, the police did not determine that he was directly related to the case.
This was supposed to be the end of the whole story, and people will slowly forget about the accident. However, an entertainment magazine seemed to see an opportunity for hype, with fictional reports portraying Mr. Zhao as the killer, saying he had abandoned her after an argument with a girl, resulting in her death.
This report instantly caused an uproar on the Internet, and Zhao Hongfei became the target of all verbal criticism. Countless netizens besieged him, without giving him the slightest chance to explain, and interacts directly convicted.
In the face of the thunderbolt-like changes on a sunny day, Zhao Hongfei's whole person collapsed. He never imagined that an ordinary trip home to a friend would trigger a notorious disaster and make him fall from star to bottom overnight.
This nightmare-like blow turned Zhao Hongfei's life and career upside down. Will those netizens who point out the country care about his feelings?

However, the legal process is lengthy and complex, and it is difficult to obtain a result in a short period of time. At the same time, reports of chasing wind and shadows are still circulating on the Internet, and Zhao Hongfei is still enduring abuse from all sides every day.
In order to progress the case, he constantly traveled between the two places, actively preparing materials with the court and his own team of lawyers. In this process, he was often exhausted physically and mentally, but for the sake of the truth, he did not give up.
4 years is not a long time, it is shorter, but for Zhao Hongfei, who is caught in it, every day is like a whole year. During this long wait, he often wanted to give up, but every time he thought of the unfounded accusations against him, he rekindled the courage to fight.
Finally, in 2011, the court made a judgment, requesting the magazine to compensate Zhao Hongfei 100,000 yuan and publicly apologize. Although the amount is limited, Zhao Hongfei is still pleased with the fairness of the judiciary.
After 4 years of fighting, he was finally able to clear his grievances and prove his innocence.
It is a precious thing to uphold justice and protect the truth. It is precisely because Zhao Hongfei is not afraid of power to defend his rights that he provides strength for others who are also facing difficulties.
Defeating rumors with legal weapons requires extraordinary courage and perseverance, and it also gives people signs of hope.
