Recently, China has implemented a "nationality restriction order" policy that restricts dual citizenship. Soon after, some netizens broke out on the Internet that Chen Feiyu, the youngest son of the famous director Chen Kaige, had obtained American citizenship.
As soon as this news was revealed, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet like a bombshell. People have talked about Chen Feiyu's source of American citizenship, and at the same time, they have also turned their questioning eyes to his father, veteran director Chen Kaige.
The first person to publicly question Chen Kaige was the Chinese writer Liu Xinda.
Liu Xinda's questioning stirred up a thousand waves, and his question directly broke the doubts in the hearts of many Chinese people, and public opinion was in an uproar for a while. People have asked Chen Kaige to publicly respond and explain this matter, but so far, Director Chen has not made any response to this matter.
Chen Kaige's marriage to his current wife Chen Hong is actually not his first marriage.
Before entering the marriage hall with Chen Hong, Chen Kaige lived with Ni Ping, the female anchor of China Central Television. The two have lived together for 8 years and have a very good relationship.
According to Ni Ping's later autobiography, during the years of living with Chen Kaige, she took care of Chen Kaige's father's illness and death, which shows her deep feelings for Chen Kaige.
However, just when the relationship between the two who had been separated for many years was about to be sublimated into a legally recognized marriage, Chen Kaige and Chen Hong suddenly announced that they were married. This is undoubtedly a great blow to Ni Ping, who has accompanied Chen Kaige for many years.
In contrast, Chen Hong is a first-line actress who debuted earlier. She has been acting since she was 17 years old, participated in the filming of many well-known film and television works, and was recognized by her peers and audiences as the well-deserved "most beautiful actor in China".
After rumors on the Internet that Chen Kaige's family had become American citizens, Chen Kaige and Chen Hong did not respond positively to the matter, nor did they refute or explain the rumors.
This made many netizens more convinced of the rumors that "Chen Kaige and Chen Hong have become American citizens". They believe that as public figures, if the rumors are purely chasing after the wind, the Chans should stand up and clarify the facts.
And their uncharacteristically silent treatment makes people feel that "there must be a reason for the situation", and this reaction mode and psychology are tantamount to acquiescing to the truth of the rumors.
In addition, after Chen Kaige married Chen Hong soon after breaking up with his ex-girlfriend Ni Ping, the public also formed some doubts about Chen Kaige's character. The combination of the two has made many netizens firmly believe that "the Chen couple has become American citizens" is not groundless.
Whether the rumors are true or not, Chen Kaige and Chen Hong's current response methods and strategies have polarized the public's perception of them, which is undoubtedly a huge negative impact on their social image.
We call on Chen Kaige and Chen Hong to refute and respond to this rumor.
As public figures, they have the responsibility and obligation to publicly clarify the matter to the public in order to calm the growing suspicion on the Internet.
If it is true that the two are not naturalized in the United States, they should issue a statement in time to make it clear, instead of avoiding doubts and allowing rumors to take root as they are at present.
It's not just about their personal reputation, it's about society as a whole about understanding and understanding similar issues. If they don't get to the bottom of the facts, their social image, their careers and even their families will suffer.
We call on Mr. and Ms Chan to take proactive action and speak out to public concerns. We will certainly gain the understanding and support of all sectors of society.
It's wise to be transparent at this point. I hope that Chen Kaige and Chen Hong can show their courage and responsibility as public figures, face the public sincerely, and clarify this negative rumor in a timely manner.
The incident reflects the growing public concern about the personal and family backgrounds of celebrities, particularly nationality issues. Some irresponsible remarks can easily spread quickly on the Internet, causing social unrest.
As a public figure, you should be aware of your social responsibility as a moral model. In the face of all kinds of rumors and doubts, we should uphold a rational attitude, seek facts, and not be credulous.
When it comes to this matter, I hope that Chen Kaige and Chen Hong will not avoid questioning, but will face it bravely and clarify the truth in a timely manner. This not only protects oneself against rumors, but also guides public opinion in a rational and positive direction.
Considering the overall situation, this matter is related to the expectations of Chinese people for celebrities to lead by example. Improper handling can exacerbate national sentiments and shake social trust. We call on all sectors of society to remain calm and rational and not cause trouble. Trust that time and facts will tell.
Through rational communication and sincere response, we can resolve this matter and maintain national unity and social harmony. Chen Kaige and Chen Hong's naturalization rumors: Celebrities should respond decisively to explain doubts and stop rumors
