Veteran fans all know Duan Xuan. Former CCTV celebrity, famous football commentator, hosted CCTV's five sets of "World Football" columns, which are the memories of countless fans' youth.
Among the few famous commentators in China, in terms of style, Huang Jianxiang is professional enough, emotionally exposed, love and hate clearly, Liu Jianhong has a deep love for Chinese football, more than passion but insufficient vocabulary, He Wei's poet golden sentences are frequently witty, giving people a feeling of spring breeze, Dong Luye was born, very interesting, likes gags, close to the people and down-to-earth, listening to his commentary is like listening to cross talk.
And Duan Xuan, his biggest style is that he has no style, well-behaved, plain, average voice conditions, and the roar and dryness after the game enters the climax, which is the one with the lowest sense of presence among the major commentators in China.
It is precisely because of the lack of style that Duan Xuan gives people a sense of integrity, honest and decent, full of security, and is a person who will not have an accident if something happens to people all over the world.
But what I didn't expect was that Duan Xuan was the first CCTV celebrity to have an accident, which was a big surprise.
After Duan Xuan resigned from CCTV in 2015, some people said that he was too innocent and white lotus because he had been in the system for a long time and was too pure and white lotus, and he was framed by a master to become a backstabber.
What kind of temptation caused Duan Xuan's life to suffer such a big change, from a spiritual guy to a prisoner? Let's find out today.
01
Duan Xuan, born in 1972, is a native of Beijing.
In 1995, Duan Xuan graduated from Beijing Broadcasting Institute and joined CCTV as a sports reporter.
At that time, CCTV had just set up a sports channel, saying that the sports channel was actually a grass station team, and Duan Xuan was only a temporary worker, and there was no stable guarantee.
But Duan Xuan loves sports, so he resolutely joined CCTV and cherished the work of this temporary worker.
Duan Xuan usually works hard and is full of innovation, believing that sports commentary should be vivid and interesting, not just a simple and mechanical description of the game process, so Duan Xuan gradually gained a firm foothold in CCTV 5.
On November 27, 2000, Duan Xuan became the host of the "World Football" column. At that time, when the Internet was not developed and there were few information channels, "World Football" was a super welfare for domestic fans, it was like a pair of eyes, helping fans to get a glimpse of the magnificent and bizarre small universe of the football world, as well as the legendary history of football superstars.
After eight years of hard work, in 2003, Duan Xuan finally "achieved positive results" and became a regular employee of CCTV.
For the general public, a Beijinger, a university student at Beijing Broadcasting Institute, and a graduate of CCTV work, such a life can be described as a winner in life, and Duan Xuan's starting point is the end that ordinary people can't reach in a lifetime.
But during the years that Duan Xuan worked at CCTV, his mentality gradually changed, and he was used to seeing all kinds of rich and noble people floating in the clouds in the Beijing circle and bigwigs with heads and faces, and he was set off like a dick, and a sense of loss in his heart arose.
Moreover, although the work in the system is stable, it is a road that can be seen at a glance, and he touched the ceiling of his career at a young age, and he has no worries about food and clothing but he cannot be rich and expensive, Duan Xuan is full of confusion about the future.
has worked in CCTV for 20 years, and has earned enough fame with the help of this platform that almost football fans across the country know him, but fame and lack of profit are things that have plagued him for half his life.
In addition, colleagues Huang Jianxiang and Liu Jianhong resigned and left CCTV after they got mixed up and made a lot of money, which made Duan Xuan's eyes red.
In 2015, Duan Xuan, who had worked at CCTV for 20 years, followed in the footsteps of his old colleagues and resigned to start a business.

In the early days of entrepreneurship, Duan Xuan met many old colleagues and old friends, and everyone commented that Duan Xuan was tired but full of energy, and he also led the team to produce good content.
However, after Duan Xuan joined LeTV and PP Sports, although he created a lot of high-quality sports content, he could not monetize it.
In 2015, Wang Sicong, the "national husband", set foot in the field of sports, and established Shanghai Banana Plan Cultural Development Co., Ltd., Shanghai Banana Plan Sports Culture Co., Ltd., Shanghai Banana Plan Electronic Game Co., Ltd. and other "Banana Plan" series companies, and recruited troops on a large scale.
At the end of the year, Duan Xuan joined Wang Sicong's Banana Project and became the CEO of Banana Sports.
Wang Sicong directly holds 20% of the shares and 41.1% indirectly through Shanghai Banana Plan Culture Development Co., Ltd., and is the actual controller of Banana Sports. Duan Xuan is the legal representative, chairman and general manager of Banana Sports Company, and holds 20% of the equity.
On June 28, 2017, Banana Sports announced the completion of a Series A financing of 30 million yuan, led by Northern Light Venture Capital and followed by Junde Capital.
Duan Xuan said proudly at the time that the purpose of the financing was "in addition to continuing to create high-quality sports content products, and will also make efforts in the two fields of ice and snow and extreme to develop high-quality events and content."
However, the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny. After the financing, as soon as several events were held, the money burned out, but the influence of the event was not played.
As the son of a capitalist, Wang Sicong had already smelled the danger, so he ran away decisively, and took many executives away by the way, leaving only Duan Xuan messy in the wind.
Duan Xuan had no choice but to take over the mess of banana sports alone, how he lived in those years can be imagined, on the outside, he was full of white hair and haggard, he looked ten years older than his peers, and in his heart:
Stuffy like a dragon leaving the island, sad like a tiger trapped in the barren field, sad autumn Song Yu tears ripples. When Jiang Yan first went to pen, Xiang Yu hated that there was no boat. Gaozu Xingyang was in distress, Zhaoguan Wu was worried, and Cao Gong was on fire. Li Lingtai looked up, and Su Wu fell into Juyan.
If Duan Xuan also chose to leave at that time, Banana Sports would have turned yellow, but the flame of idealism in Duan Xuan's heart at that time had not been extinguished, and he resolutely chose to insist.
Later, Duan Xuan caught up with Liu Aijie, and fortune began to gradually reverse.
Liu Aijie, male, former chairman of the Chinese Rowing Association and the Chinese Canoe Association, former deputy director of the Water Sports Management Center of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China, and director of the Preparation Office of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China.
Gu Ailing was able to successfully naturalize and represent China in the Beijing Winter Olympics, which was handled by Liu Aijie behind the scenes.
The gold medal strategy has always been the top priority of Chinese sports, and the Olympic Preparation Office is also one of the departments with the largest expenditure and the largest turnover in Chinese sports, with both money and power.
Therefore, Duan Xuan took the initiative to post it, wanting to do their business and bring Banana Sports back to life.
But some of the companies that want to cooperate with the Olympic Preparation Office are how Duan Xuan's dying company can win the bid, so as a last resort, Duan Xuan can only find a way from the crooked way.

Between 2018 and 2020, Duan Xuan won contracts for Banana Sports Company to contract "cross-border" and "cross-event" selection intermediary services for Olympic preparation, contract approval and allocation, and signed a "cross-border" and "cross-sport" selection service contract with the China Rowing Association for snowboarding, freestyle and alpine snow events.
In addition, Banana Sports also recommended and facilitated the signing of 15 foreign training contracts to the Olympic Games Preparation Office of the General Administration of Sports of China, and received the external training funds from the Olympic Games Preparation Office.
In fact, these contracts are all fake, the drunkard does not mean to drink, the sports are fake, and the arbitrage of state sports funds is real.
From July 2019 to 2020, with the consent of Liu Aijie and the help of contact, Banana Sports participated in the broadcast of six events, including the Ningbo Dragon Boat World Cup, on CCTV Sports Channel, earning a profit of about 4.7 million yuan.
All of this was Duan Xuan who found Liu Aijie for help, and Liu Aijie approved it.
To put it bluntly, Duan Xuan's problem is to use the fake sports company "Banana Sports" as a platform to collude with corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and to offer and accept bribes on the pretext of undertaking national sports projects and developing sports undertakings, so as to make profits for himself and harm the public and private interests.
We don't know what Duan Xuan has experienced, in just a few years, he has degenerated from a young man who loves sports and is full of idealism to a national moth with a lust for profit, and he is willing to be the white glove of corrupt elements.
It can only be said that money and capital are like poison, poisoning people into ghosts.
The money has arrived, the relevant stakeholders are all happy, and everyone is full of fat, it is time to wipe the buttocks and destroy the corpses.
In April 2022, less than two months after the Beijing Winter Olympics, Banana Sports was deregistered at the speed of light.
In order to repay Liu Aijie for his "kindness", Duan Xuan began to repay Liu Aijie with money in batches.
Between 2018 and 2020, Duan Xuan transferred more than 9.5 million yuan in cash to Liu Aijie's personal account, including the United States, Norway, Spain, Indonesia and Beijing, China.
The bribery also dared to use direct transfers, and they didn't even bother to cover it up, which shows how unscrupulous and contemptuous these people were at that time.
On April 4, 2023, Liu Aijie, the former chairman of the Chinese Rowing Association and director of the Olympic Preparation Office, was taken away for investigation by the Supervision Group of the General Administration of Sports of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Henan Supervision Commission.
As a grasshopper on a rope, Duan Xuan's good days have come to an end. Starting from April 18, 2023, Duan Xuan suddenly disappeared from the world, his personal social platform was no longer updated, and his relatives and friends could not contact him.
More than half a year later, at the end of 2023, the news of Duan Xuan finally came on the Internet, but he had become a prisoner, and Duan Xuan's bribery of 9.5 million yuan to Liu Aijie was also exposed on the Internet, which is well known.
跋
What is the reason why Duan Xuan has fallen to the point where he is today? My personal answer is "insatiable."
But he was still not satisfied, he had to get rich, get rich, squeeze into the elite circle, and he had to pull out his hair and leave the earth like a master, so his interests were blinded, lard was blinded, and he gradually became corrupt and degenerate, and became a negative teaching material that people hated dogs.
Therefore, "only by suffering hardship can you become a superior person" is not an inspirational saying, on the contrary, he is the feudal dross that has led countless people astray.
Therefore, "contentment and happiness" is the highest wisdom of life, and I hope we can learn lessons from Duan Xuan's experience.
All have a happy, plain is true, contented and full life.
