Preamble:
Where has the "Sister Feng," who has attracted wide attention by selling ugliness and smearing the country, come now? She once detonated the public's attention in a unique way, but has her name gradually disappeared in the torrent of time? Has her life still revolved around the shadow of selling ugliness and smearing, or has she found a new direction in life? What kind of vicissitudes has this Internet celebrity experienced? Let us unravel her current story together
Poor childhood, longing for respect
On a crisp autumn day in 1985, in a small village near the mountains on the outskirts of Chongqing, Luo Yufeng came to this world crying. She was born into a typical rural family, and her father was a poor man who worked odd jobs in the village to make a living. At the age of 7, Luo Yufeng's fair-skinned little face tasted disappointment for the first time - her parents divorced, and she has not seen her biological father since.
The poor life of his youth had a profound impact on Luo Yufeng. Once, Luo Yufeng went to ask his stepfather for tuition, but saw that he was busy working, and there was a scolding farm commander standing next to him. This sight deeply pierced the soft heart of the little girl, and she made up her mind that she must grow up to be a decent person and never live such a hard life again.
Maybe it's because of his natural intelligence, or maybe it's because of his desire to get rid of this environment, Luo Yufeng has been diligent and studious since he was a child. After graduating from junior high school, she did not give up her Xi studies, and studied teaching at a normal school and then a university, and finally obtained a college diploma.
What it's like to be disgusted for the first time
In 2003, Luo Yufeng, who had just graduated from university, began her first formal job as a teacher in a rural primary school. I thought that with my education level higher than my peers, I could gain enough respect in this small place. However, the reality is not as she imagined - she did not manage the relationship with her parents and colleagues, and she quickly lost everyone's affection.
Luo Yufeng, who was in the prime of her life, confessed to a male teacher and was refused. She guessed that maybe it was her appearance that made him look bad. When attending a poetry exchange meeting, everyone also thoughtfully did not let her share the cost, which made her even more embarrassed. By all indications, no one in this environment seems to appreciate her, which is far from what she has always dreamed of.
As a result, Luo Yufeng only insisted on teaching in this primary school for two years before choosing to resign. As she left, she told herself that there must still be something that could accept her.
Drifting north to Shanghai, working hard to realize the dream
In 2008, 23-year-old Luo Yufeng came to Shanghai, with a savings of 10,000 yuan and full of enthusiasm and longing. She wrote on her resume that she would "not hesitate to drift north to realize her dream". I came here not only to develop, but also to find a satisfactory partner. In her opinion, men in the metropolis of Shanghai will be much better than in their hometown.
However, the reality always seems to be against Luo Yufeng, and life in Shanghai is not as easy as she imagined. After sending thousands of resumes and only getting a few interviews, I finally got a job as a cashier in a large supermarket. Although the work is hard, Luo Yufeng has no complaints, she believes that as long as she works hard, she can live a decent life one day.
If Luo Yufeng knew at that time that only a year later, she would become famous in this city, there would be countless people talking about her, and there would be a lot of opportunities to contact the "Prince Charming" in the film and television industry and the entertainment industry, would she choose to endure the boring cashier job? However, it backfired, the god of fate still didn't have much favor for her, all she wanted was a little care and respect.
In 2009, the legendary era of "Internet celebrity originator" began
The first work on the Internet "I want to find a Peking University Tsinghua man to marry" made countless people fall through the glasses One day in 2009, Luo Yufeng, who was nearly 30 years old, was still alone. Perhaps feeling hopeless and anxious about the current situation, she published a marriage post on the Tianya Forum - "I want to find a Peking University Tsinghua man to marry". The article lists 7 conditions that are almost "impossible": a master's degree from Tsinghua University, majoring in economics, having an international perspective, being 1.76 to 1.83 meters tall, having no history of childbirth, household registration on the eastern coast, and being 25 to 28 years old.
Each of these conditions seems too harsh. And just when everyone was surprised, Luo Yufeng went on to write that his introduction to himself was: "I read a lot of books at the age of 9 and reached the peak at the age of 20, and no one can match my IQ for 300 years before and 300 years later." This seemingly exaggerated statement is undoubtedly even more shocking.
A few days later, Luo Yufeng continued to post "marriage progress" - a number of CEOs of large multinational financial companies in China expressed their love to her, but she rejected them because she thought they were "too old". At this time, Luo Yufeng's meticulous performance is far from over. She went to the subway station to distribute more than 1,300 marriage leaflets.
When the mobile phone number on the flyer was finally swept up by netizens who had attracted a lot of attention, Luo Yufeng finally got his wish and caused a sensation. People gave her a more resounding name - Sister Feng.
Famous for "playing ugly", he has doubled his attention and exposure
At the beginning of 2010, Jiangsu Satellite TV's emotional talk show "The World" launched an episode of "I want to marry Prince Charming". At that time, a little boyfriend Mr. Wu appeared next to Sister Feng, and he cried that Sister Feng wanted to break up with him because she disliked him for being too poor. This seems to fit the topic of the show just right, so Sister Feng also played a treasure on the scene - she once again emphasized her extraordinary IQ and declared that "no man can surpass her intellectually".
When this episode of the show was broadcast, Luo Yufeng quickly became popular. She has received several times more attention than before, and has also received a succession of commercial performance opportunities. However, when everyone learned that the "boyfriend" in this episode of the show was completely arranged by the director, they felt that this was just another farce directed and acted by themselves.
Luo Yufeng didn't realize this, she clearly knew that this way of "being famous for scandals" could quickly gather attention. So throughout 2010, she participated in 6 TV programs one after another. She even went out to participate in Hunan Satellite TV's "China's Got Talent", and performed lip-syncing and lip-syncing on the spot, which caused an uproar.
When Luo Yufeng was immersed in commercial performances and endorsements and couldn't extricate herself, she gradually realized that people who became famous in this way were destined to fail to win the respect of the public. People looked at her with banter, ridicule and sympathy, and some even publicly humiliated her. Luo Yufeng never imagined that the road to a decent life would be so difficult.
In 2011, the determination to march towards the United States
In 2011, in order to continue to gain exposure, Sister Feng Luo Yufeng registered a website domain name with the homonym of "Wang Sicong", and shouted the real Wang Sicong on Weibo, intending to attract attention again by causing controversy. However, the result disappointed her, and Wang Sicong ignored her.
Next, Luo Yufeng turned his target to the popular idol Edison Chen and bluntly said that he wanted to marry him. However, the results still ended in nothing, which made her realize that it was becoming more and more difficult to get sustained attention at home.
At this moment, a thought came to Luo Yufeng's mind - she decided to fly to distant America and start over there. A tourist visa is required to travel to the United States, and she has successfully applied for it. Before leaving, Luo Yufeng confidently announced on Weibo: "Even if I die in the United States, I will never return to China!"
The bumpy years after setting foot on American soil
In the first month of coming to New York, Luo Yufeng continued to go her own way, writing on Weibo: "I have arrived in the United States, and now I am going to find President Ma Oba!" However, the immigration authorities soon discovered her misuse of her tourist visa. Unable to obtain a work permit immediately, Luo Yufeng had to move from the hotel to the basement to live a poor life, eating instant noodles for every meal.
In the United States, no one knows Luo Yufeng. She pitched thousands of resumes to major companies and finally landed a job as a dishwasher at a restaurant. However, she still went her own way, feeling that her boss was exploiting her and chose to leave. After repeatedly hitting a wall in her job search, she ended up working part-time at a Korean-owned nail salon. At least, no one here will laugh at her past.
In order to gain a foothold in the United States, Luo Yufeng can do whatever it takes. She was interviewed by the Voice of America and the New York Times, where she exaggerated her "unfortunate experience" of being discriminated against and oppressed in China, in a vain attempt to obtain a US green card in the form of "political asylum". and even entered a certain anti-Chinese organization for this. Still, she was disappointed that the United States did not extend a welcoming hand as she had imagined.
As the days passed, Luo Yufeng also mixed up in the United States for seven or eight years. Now, the originator of the Internet celebrity back then is already emaciated and haggard, and his figure staggering on the street is similar to the past. We don't know if she's happier now than she is at home, or if, as she herself puts it, "In America, a lot of people don't live as well as dogs." ”
epilogue
After so many years, is Luo Yufeng's life really more transparent than ours? What untold stories have happened in the thirteen years since she left? Maybe next time, when we ask her about her current situation again, we can get the answer. In this storied life journey, whether there are still unrevealed mysteries in her story is worth our in-depth pursuit. Perhaps, this is a seal of time, and it is also the end of a story, let us look forward to her life, whether there will be a new chapter.
