Recently, a rumor about Jiang Wenli has caused an uproar in the entertainment industry. There are reports that Jiang Wenli is suspected of having close relationships with several young male college students, and even bought real estate for them.
This revelation immediately went viral on the Internet, and many netizens questioned Jiang Wenli's conduct, and even pointed out that she was "supporting" these boys.
However, while we are too concerned and speculative about Jiang Wenli's little-known private life, should we also reflect on our own behavior?
This rumor has not yet been proven, and we are qualified to judge a person's moral character at will? To exaggerate a story that may be purely false on the basis of hearsay is in itself to trample on a person's privacy.
Whether Jiang Wenli really has some kind of relationship with these boys, we should not comment on it. Jiang Wenli is an independent individual, and she has the right to choose her own way of life, even if it is inconsistent with mainstream values.
These boys are also adults and have the ability to take responsibility for their actions. They should not be characterized simply as victims of "fostery".
There is no conclusive evidence, and any rumor is just hearsay. It is highly irresponsible to rashly attack a person's reputation and prestige when there is insufficient evidence.
This seems to have become a kind of "normal" in entertainment journalism. The private lives of celebrities, especially their love lives, often become the focus of public attention.
Some tabloid media even make a living by hyping up celebrity scandals, and even do not hesitate to obtain these true or false stories by voyeurism. Moral criticism of celebrities is also not uncommon, as if they should be completely in line with the public's imagination of "good conduct".
The question is, who has the power and the right to judge a person's moral character? Public moral criticism is often based on hearsay and lacks sufficient information and understanding.
Each of us has a side that is unknown to the public, and we all have secrets that are difficult to tell the outside world. Nor should public figures be the exception to moral judgments.
In fact, behind the excessive attention to the private lives of celebrities, it may reflect the public's own curiosity and yearning for real life.
The boredom of real life makes people imagine that life in Vanity Fair will be more exciting. Celebrities became the object of people in search of excitement and the fulfillment of fantasies. This psychological need is worth pondering.
We should not measure a flesh-and-blood individual with illusory imagination. Everyone has the right to self-actualization and the right to protect their privacy, even if they are public figures. Besides, who defined that the so-called "decent" life is the right life?
Perhaps, we need to build a more inclusive, understanding and respectful relationship between celebrities and ordinary people. The public should not judge their lives, but should protect their privacy as much as possible and give them space to live freely.
The media also needs to balance truth and ethics, and should not exaggerate the negative news of celebrities. As public figures, celebrities should also take on the responsibility of actively guiding the social atmosphere.
The lesson is that while pursuing gossip and excitement, we also need to develop a moral attitude of rationality, tolerance and respect for differences.
This applies not only to perceptions of public figures, but should also serve as a basis for us to examine others and our own lives. This is the force that drives social progress.
