Gao Xiaosong, a well-known cultural critic, has really caused a lot of trouble recently. Under the angry reprimand of Pan Jie, the daughter of his mentor Luo Xiaoling, Gao Xiaosong had to bow his head and admit his mistake and go to apologize in person. What people didn't expect was that this master of conversation and humor in the past had lost as thin as wood and his face was withered. It turned out that he had suffered from severe depression for a long time, and at its worst, he could only sleep 40 minutes a day!
On April 7, Pan Jie exposed the process of talking to Gao Xiaosong face-to-face on her personal video account. I saw Gao Xiaosong with a sad face, his eyes were scattered, and his shape was erect, not at all like the radiant cultural celebrity in the past. Facing the posthumous photo of his mentor Luo Xiaoling, he was even more emotional, as if he had gone back in time.
Gao Xiaosong came to the door this time to make up for a major mistake. It turned out that he had made a false comment on the identity of his mentor Luo Xiaoling's family in the video earlier, which caused Pan Jie to be furious and angry at his "nonsense".
However, what is even more distressing is that Gao Xiaosong was unable to attend the memorial service when his teacher passed away in 2019, which is his lifelong regret. In the face of Pan Jie's questioning, he explained sincerely: "I'm really sorry, Aunt Luo is kind to me and is the guide on my movie road...... Back then, she taught me one shot at a time, without reservation. "
It turned out that when Gao Xiaosong was admitted to the film academy, it was Luo Xiaoling who cultivated and guided her carefully, far more than she did with her own daughter. It can be seen that Luo Xiaoling's contribution to promoting the Chinese film industry is unparalleled.
And Gao Xiaosong's erroneous remarks actually came from a video many years ago. He called Luo Xiaoling's grandfather Qian Zhuangfei a "director" at the time. In fact, Qian Zhuangfei is not only a great revolutionary, but also a heroic model. Gao Xiaosong's immaturity and superficiality aroused Pan Jie's incomparable anger.
If Gao Xiaosong had humbly consulted his teacher at that time, or had done more basic investigation work, he would not have made such a low-level mistake. It can be seen that over the years, teachers and students may have lost contact with each other, which is Gao Xiaosong's biggest regret.
In this incident, Gao Xiaosong once again exposed his bad habits of quick success and carelessness. What is even more distressing, however, is that the popular critic has fallen into a chronic depression.
"I suffer from severe depression and at its worst I could only sleep 40 minutes a day. Gao Xiaosong revealed his own pain. It is not difficult to imagine that such torture for a long time will inevitably cause him to suffer physical and mental trauma. It is not difficult to explain why he is now in a skeletal shape and has a thin yellow face.
In addition to the trouble of depression, Gao Xiaosong also revealed another puzzling habit: "I am a group of people who only keep one person, for example, only one family member and only one classmate. As long as you can find it. "
It seems that there are also many oddities in the style of life of critics. Was it because there was too much pressure at work? Or was there some misunderstanding in his thinking? All kinds of speculations made his image even more mysterious.
However, it is worth affirming that Gao Xiaosong showed a sincere attitude of admitting his mistakes in this incident. He not only went to apologize in person, but also brought flowers to express his sincerest respect for the teacher's posthumous photo.
Some people say that this may be a turning point for Gao Xiaosong to finally start to re-examine himself and reflect on his life on the long road of depression.
There is a view that the plague of depression has caused Gao Xiaosong to suffer and self-denial for a long time, and after this incident, he was forced to face up to the inappropriateness of his behavior, which triggered an inner shock and awakening. Perhaps, admitting his mistakes and apologizing is the first step for him to re-examine his life and get out of the haze.
Another view is that the reason why Gao Xiaosong has fallen to the point where he is today has a lot to do with his vain and quick success. Years of unbridled and arrogant pride made him drift apart, and eventually lost the understanding and support of his family and friends. Therefore, this apology is not only a reparation for wrongdoing, but also a reflection on one's own attitude towards life.
In any case, one thing is certain, that is, Gao Xiaosong's sincere repentance gives people new hope. Perhaps, in the days to come, this cultural critic will be completely reborn, get rid of the haze, truly achieve the unity of knowledge and action, and win back the trust of the public with practical actions.
There is no end in life, as long as you are willing to correct your mistakes, you will always have the opportunity to start over. For Gao Xiaosong, this may just be a new starting point. We look forward to him taking advantage of the lessons of this incident to be more humble and low-key, devote himself wholeheartedly to his career, and make new contributions to the development of China's cultural undertakings.
Overall, Gao Xiaosong's incident has once again raised concerns about the physical and mental health of cultural celebrities. We should not look at it in isolation, but analyze the underlying causes objectively and rationally.
It can be seen from Gao Xiaosong that fame and fortune are often accompanied by heavy mental pressure, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the dilemma of loneliness and self-indulgence. Therefore, contemporary cultural celebrities need perfect psychological counseling and life guidance to maintain a healthy lifestyle, which is essential for them to better fulfill their social responsibilities.
At the same time, we, as ordinary people, should also be open and inclusive. Even if there are occasional weirdness, we should give understanding and care, instead of resting on our laurels and criticizing them harshly. Only by appreciating and understanding each other can society become kinder and everyone has the opportunity to be a new person.
