Sunday night, 2009, quiet and peaceful. CCTV's military talk show "New Observation on Defense" started on time, and the host Fang Jing hosted the whole show in her calm style.
There is no indication that this will be the last time Fang Jing will appear on CCTV. After the show, she said goodbye to the staff as usual and drove home.
Early the next morning, Fang Jing did not come to CCTV to record the program as scheduled, and her disappearance confused everyone. In the days that followed, there was still no news of her.
It is rumored that she has left CCTV, but there is no clue about the specific reason. However, three months later, the well-known host of Xiangjiang Green finally released a message on the circle of friends, she said: "If you have any questions, please consult the leaders of CCTV, what they say is more credible." ”
Fang Jing was born in 1971 in an ordinary courtyard house in Beijing, which is her home. From an early age, she showed an extraordinary talent for languages, and at the age of five she was able to sing songs in front of hundreds of audiences.
The parents did not want her to step into the entertainment industry too early, but hoped to change their daughter's fate through knowledge. Fang Jing has excellent academic performance since she was a child, and she won a guaranteed place in high school, however, she resolutely decided to give up the opportunity to be escorted, and instead entered the broadcasting department of Beijing Broadcasting Institute through the college entrance examination.
In college, Fang Jing was a diligent and studious student, especially good at English. She understands the importance of foreign language skills, so no matter how difficult and boring the course is, she will calm down and study hard.
In the English speech and reading competition in which Fang Jing participated, her fluent speaking and rich vocabulary amazed the teachers and students present. After graduation, the leaders of CCTV praised this girl with excellent English proficiency and good looks, and did not hesitate to let her join the CCTV family.
In 1996, Fang Jing was admitted to Peking University for a postgraduate degree in sociology, and in order to further improve her English skills, she resolutely decided to study in the United States. Studying abroad in the United States broadened her international horizons and honed her excellent foreign language skills.
After returning to China, with her bilingual expertise in Chinese and English, Fang Jing became one of the few anchors who could host the "International Observation" program in both Chinese and English. She has transformed her knowledge and talent into practical abilities, and has achieved a colorful hosting career on CCTV's platform.
In June 2009, a blog post on the Internet titled "Test Cheating Has Been Modernized" quickly went viral, exposing the shocking news that Fang Jing, a well-known CCTV host, was arrested on suspicion of leaking secrets.
The explosive news quickly sparked a heated discussion on the Internet.
In the circumstances of the time, spies were regarded as traitors, that is, traitors who betrayed the interests of the country. If Fang Jing really committed such a crime, then her future would be ruined because of this, which was a reasonable thing.
Fang Jing's reputation and personality are being trampled on step by step, and all this is happening in the midst of everyone's doubts.
He is an associate professor at the School of Journalism and Communication of Peking University, and with such a prominent identity, his remarks are naturally more convincing.
Under the pressure of a large number of netizens, Fang Jing had to come forward to clarify her situation and prove her innocence.
Ms. Fang started her blog and issued a statement saying that the remarks were defamatory and that she would use legal means to protect her rights. In a subsequent media interview, Fang Jing bitterly expressed that she has always regarded China as the whole of her life, and there is no reason to betray the country.
However, despite such statements, the winds of public opinion have not changed. Under the influence of the exposure of the associate professor of Peking University, netizens still have great doubts about whether Fang Jing is suspected of leaking secrets.
In order to calm the public anger, CCTV urgently arranged for Fang Jing to return to the screen and host the recording of the "World Weekly" program to show their attitude towards the matter.
Although Fang Jing successfully returned to the front line of CCTV, the shadow of the "Spygate" incident has not dissipated. Her innocence takes time to be baptized, and it has not yet been proven. Her life was in an unprecedentedly painful predicament, but she didn't give up trying to make a name for herself.
As she revealed in a subsequent interview, "Everything I have is not easy to come by, and I will never let rumors easily crush it."
Although the rumors were successfully clarified in 2009, the "Spygate" incident left a shadow on Fang Jing's life and emotions, and in the years since, she has never made any love news public and has remained single.
In 2015, Fang Jing died of cancer in a hospital in Taiwan at the age of 44. The news sparked renewed public discussion about her mysterious experience.
In fact, Fang Jing chose to go to Taiwan for treatment, mainly because doctors in the mainland believe that her condition has progressed to an advanced stage, and Taiwan's medical technology is more advanced and may have more possibilities for treatment.
However, the ruthlessness of fate eventually manifested. After several months of treatment, Fang Jing still couldn't get rid of the grip of death.
Fang Jing's sudden death has sparked speculation, with some netizens saying that it may be a reward for her perfect retirement after completing her mission as a spy, while others believe that Fang Jing has gone into seclusion somewhere under a new identity.
However, there are also those who disagree that the cause of death of the deceased cannot be easily guessed. Fang Jing had defended the cause of her death for six years, and there was nothing suspicious about her death.
The other party said quietly that the "spy gate" cast too many shadows on her, and even if she cleared the suspicion, it would be difficult for her to get out of that trauma. Long-term mental stress may have contributed to her physical debilitation.
Fang Jing has endured too much criticism during her lifetime, we should let her rest in peace and stop doubting the cause of her death.
Fang Jing's life has experienced many injustices and blows. A certain unfounded sentence almost destroyed the pinnacle of her career and personal dignity. As bystanders, we need to reflect on the lessons learned.
First of all, we should be rational about rumors and not easily create rumors to hurt others. Words should never have been used as a weapon to attack others. However, when someone spreads rumors through ctrl+C or ctrl+V, the impact is greatly increased.
First of all, we must respect the facts, stick to our principles, and actively resist rumors. Once a rumor spreads, its influence can spread quickly, causing a great negative impact. In the face of rumors, we must adhere to the principle of independent thinking, treat every incident rationally, and strive for fair treatment for the victims.
Fang Jing said before her death that she firmly believes that time will tell. We should also give her enough time and space to set the record straight.
Finally, we must think carefully before releasing information. An unthought remark can ruin a person's life. In this day and age, we have the responsibility of telling the truth as long as we open our social networks.
Being a person and doing things requires integrity and morality, which is the bottom line that every citizen must follow. Fang Jing's experience tells us that the destructive power of rumors is extremely huge. We must develop good habits of self-discipline in our daily life, be cautious in our speech, and behave properly, so that we can jointly build a harmonious society.
