As soon as the word is spoken, the horse is difficult to chase. Gao Xiaosong, a musician and director who was once known for his talent, caused an uproar over a video speech that was lost on the Internet. There is an old saying, "Wood is a boat", and some of the past remarks are like boats made of wood, which have drifted away on the water, and it is even more difficult to recover them. This makes people wonder whether contemporary people should also shoulder the responsibility of speech while enjoying the convenience of the free flow of information? What did this influential figure in the cultural world say, and what kind of waves did it stir up?
Talking causes a thousand waves
The spring breeze in 2024 may be a hint of coolness for Gao Xiaosong. His thoughtless words earlier have set off a thousand waves in the online world. In such a cold spring season, Gao Xiaosong stood in front of the camera, and the once high-spirited appearance was gone, replaced by an emaciated body and hesitant eyes. What made this former celebrity in the entertainment industry so decadent?
The starting point of erroneous rhetoric
Last year, Luo Xiaoling's daughter Pan Jie posted a sharp remark on her video account, pointing out that Gao Xiaosong's description of her family was misleading. The video was like a depth charge, causing huge ripples beneath the calm water. It turned out that Gao Xiaosong mentioned Pan Jie's great-grandfather Qian Zhuangfei in a video, but mistakenly described him as a director. Such a mistake was a huge blow to Pan Jie, because Qian Zhuangfei was not only a great revolutionary, but also a model of a national hero.
Gao Xiaosong apologized
So, in the midst of this wave, Gao Xiaosong chose to apologize. He took flowers and went to Pan Jie's house in an almost remorseful attitude to express his apologies. He mentioned Luo Xiaoling, the teacher who gave him countless help and guidance, and his tone was full of respect and guilt, especially when he missed Luo Xiaoling's memorial service, and that regret seemed to have been heavy in his heart.
Gao Xiaosong suffers from depression
The catharsis doesn't stop there. Gao Xiaosong also shared his physical and mental state, depression, an invisible beast, has long been quietly eroding his life. He confessed that at his worst, he could only sleep for a measly 40 minutes a day. This kind of torment can be imagined, how torturous it is. It is precisely because of this state that his series of operations on Pan Jie on social platforms have undoubtedly exacerbated Pan Jie's dissatisfaction with him.
In this public conversation, Gao Xiaosong also revealed a unique philosophy in his life - in each social circle, he keeps only one person. This choice may be to reduce the complexity of life, but at the same time, it also deprives him of more angles and visions. The tragedy is that in his choice, his mentor Luo Xiaoling unfortunately became the one who was crossed out, which was undoubtedly the biggest pain in his life.
If you say the wrong thing, you will be held responsible
Pan Jie's reaction to this is not only a wake-up call to Gao Xiaosong, but also an appeal to the public. Freedom of speech is precious, but behind it, there is also a need to take responsibility. Gao Xiaosong's apology is not only a personal remorse, but also a confirmation of this principle.
The discussion of this incident should not be limited to Gao Xiaosong's personal negligence. Every individual in the Internet age should learn a lesson from this. The remarks of public figures, due to their wide influence, should be more cautious in their words and deeds. At the same time, it is also a warning to everyone's mental health. In today's fast-paced, high-stress social environment, depression has become a social problem that cannot be ignored. Gao Xiaosong's frankness has undoubtedly made more people realize the importance of mental health and the necessity of maintaining mental health.
Don't make excuses
However, some people believe that depression is not entirely an excuse for Gao Xiaosong's mistakes. After all, everyone is responsible for their actions, regardless of the situation. From Gao Xiaosong's incident, we can see that a person's growth not only needs time to be sharpened, but also needs constant self-reflection and correction.
Gao Xiaosong's apology is like a candle lit in the long night, weak but persistent. It is not enough to dispel all the darkness, but it can light the way ahead and allow the lost to find their way home. As the old saying goes, "no fault cannot be changed, no good is great", people are not sages, it is inevitable to make mistakes, but the most important thing is to be able to recognize and correct their own mistakes. Gao Xiaosong's public apology is not only a repentance for his past behavior, but also a commitment to self-improvement in the future, and a call for the public's attention to mental health. This incident may become a reflection point of our time: in the pursuit of freedom of personal expression, we must also constantly remind ourselves to be responsible for our own words, to respect the emotions of others, and to contribute to the harmony of society.
