There was a time when Jia Nailiang was the object of much sympathy. Everyone watched this former young student suffer from the breakdown of his family and the stagnation of his career after the divorce, and they all shed tears of sympathy for him.
When the "Night Stay" incident broke out, although Jia Nailiang was once deceived by his wife, for the sake of his daughter Tianxin, he chose to be patient and silent, and handled all this in a low-key manner, winning the sympathy and pity of the majority of netizens.
But today, a few years later, the wind of public opinion has completely reversed, and he has become the object of "infamy" that everyone spurns. From being widely sympathetic to being criticized and accused, this change has caused many netizens to question and be confused.
They don't understand, what did they do wrong, and they actually made the former "sympathy value" disappear? The audience was disappointed, as if the idol who was popular with them betrayed him.
How could a good man who was once as tolerant as possible be reduced to such a state where he is reviled and blamed? Is it Jia Nailiang himself who has put himself in a situation from which he will never recover, or is the criticism of the outside world too harsh? This will be a mystery that needs to be sorted out.
"Overnight Stay"
To investigate Jia Nailiang's point of loss, we have to go back to the origin of 2017 that made him infamous. That year, a variety show called "China Has Hip Hop" was highly sought after among young people, and inadvertently cultivated a rebellious and arrogant rapper PG One.
In the face of a large number of blindly following young fans, PG One is becoming more and more arrogant and domineering, revealing an unruly "trendy queer" atmosphere everywhere.
This trend soon blew into the entertainment industry, and many celebrities followed suit. Even Jia Nailiang, who has always shown a loving and steady image, is no exception deeply involved.
Not only did he praise PG One's talent and personality on various social occasions, but he also offered real money to become the latter's chief sponsor, inviting him to be intimate and intimate into his family life.
Jia Nailiang's wife, Li Xiaolu, was also quickly swept up in this wave. She began to dress up as a rapper, wearing pigtails and exaggerated costumes, ready to sing rap-style songs on variety shows.
Even their daughter Tianxin is often pulled by her parents to take photos with PG One, trying to create a happy and warm family picture. At that time, many onlookers were laughing and saying that "PG One has completely integrated into this family of three".
It's a pity that the naïve Jia Nailiang didn't realize that PG One had been infiltrating his family life intentionally or unintentionally from the beginning, subtly affecting their family of three.
As for his wife's excuse to "fix her hairstyle", although he was skeptical at the time, he casually coped with it. It wasn't until the paparazzi Zhuo Wei's surprise afterwards that Jia Nailiang suddenly realized that his wife was simply dating the so-called "hip-hop friend" he introduced into the door.
Intimate video exposure
With the exposure of the paparazzi Zhuo Wei's fierce news, everything has changed. Zhuo Wei released an intimate video of Li Xiaolu and PG One, and the picture clearly shows that the two are kissing and flirting in the hotel, and the evidence is conclusive.
For a while, Jia Nailiang was completely panicked, and all kinds of explanations sounded so pale and weak.
Once sympathetic, he fell into an unprecedented predicament. Although he chose not to mention the matter afterwards, in the subsequent New Year's Eve performance, he was always expressionless and absent-minded, and the stiffness and coldness between him and Li Xiaolu showed that this marriage deep in the Mariana Trench had completely broken down.
The difficult thing is that for the sake of his daughter Tianxin, Jia Nailiang must make a choice. Half a month later, he finally announced his divorce from Li Xiaolu. He was heartbroken by this decision.
His sister told him a lot of hardship - for the sake of the child, they had no choice but to choose to deal with the matter in a low-key manner.
The trough after the divorce
The trauma that divorce brought to Jia Nailiang is unimaginable. Before this, he was favored as a "model good husband", and countless people envied his loving marriage with Li Xiaolu.
However, in the blink of an eye, he became a "scumbag" who was scolded by thousands of people, and was subjected to unprecedented personal attacks and abuse.
The inner contradiction can be imagined - he is innocent, but he has to endure all this criticism.
The pressure of public opinion, the breakdown of the family, and the stagnation of the career, all of this almost made Jia Nailiang collapse. Outwardly, his appearance gradually aged, and the figure of the sunny teenager no longer existed.
Instead, there was a gloomy and cold face of a mature man, with fewer and fewer smiles and a noticeably thin figure.
Compared with the habit of chattering and calling his wife "Lulu is long and Lulu is short" in the past, Jia Nailiang now does not mention his family and wife, and only talks about some unfathomable philosophical topics.
Whenever asked about emotional topics, he seems deliberately detached and perfunctory.
Despite this, Jia Nailiang never said a bad word to Li Xiaolu in public. He always gave his ex-wife enough respect and decency. His sister explained that this was out of consideration for her daughter Tianxin.
A cruel father with domestic violence will bring a lifelong shadow to his children.
Just when Jia Nailiang's career was at its lowest point, the emerging industry of live streaming led him to a way out. As a veteran actor, Jia Nailiang should have lived a privileged life.
However, in a variety show, he emphasized the "bitterness and hardship" of the past, which disgusted many netizens and felt that he was selling miserably to win sympathy.
But Jia Nailiang didn't care, but talked about his current situation of "lack of funds" in the live broadcast room, and bluntly expressed his desire for money. As a high-level profession, his vulgar and utilitarian words and deeds are indeed unpleasant.
Hooking up with controversial figures
After Jia Nailiang switched to live broadcasting, his life finally returned to light. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and last year he was once again involved in a new public opinion storm.
It all started with his cooperation with a character - Luo Min, who was the founder of an online loan company called "Qudian".
Qudian specializes in issuing usurious loans to young students, causing countless children to fall into debt, causing an uproar.
Although the company has long since closed, its founder, Luo Min, has always had a bad reputation.
Surprisingly, Jia Nailiang not only did not avoid suspicion, but publicly promoted Luo Jing's new product platform in his live broadcast room, and expressed infinite sympathy for his entrepreneurial process.
Hearing these words, netizens expressed their incomprehension and indignation.
It turned out that before that, Luo Min's company had been heavily fined by the government for suspected tax evasion. And Jia Nailiang, who works closely with him, was also exposed to the same problem in the company last year and was fined nearly 200,000 yuan.
In the face of doubts, Jia Nailiang quibbled at the time that it was "an unintentional mistake, and he didn't know it". His sister also played for him as soon as possible, blaming the blame entirely on the so-called "like-minded competitors who are in the way".
What is ridiculous is that Jia Nailiang even flatly denied that he was involved, and in turn dumped the black pot to a well-known talk show guest in Fu Seoul. It is said that Fu Seoul also stood up for Luo Min on the show at that time.
Jia Nailiang's sophistry will only make netizens more suspicious of his motives. After all, as long as you search for "Qudian Luo Min", you can know the black history of its online loan platform.
The pressure of public opinion is increasing, and Jia Nailiang has been condemned by netizens on major social platforms. This good man, who was once sympathized with by countless people, has now become the object of "infamy", and he is completely to blame.
