Zhong Meimei, who fell into the dung pit, is the real "sober in the world"
Author: Insight Coke Mom
Do you remember Zhong Meimei?
Four years ago, at the age of 13, he became popular on the Internet for his vivid imitation of his teacher.
Four years later, when he was in his second year of high school, he was on the hot search again because of an interview video.
In an interview, Zhong Meimei was asked about the topic of learning and making money, and he said frankly:
"I never felt that I needed to study well, what to take Tsinghua University and Peking University, and I didn't need to earn a lot of money, I felt that my life was meaningful and happy. ”
"I always want to tell everyone that if you have money, you can earn it, and there will never be anything more than money gives you more confidence. ”
"Whoever wants to live happily is nothing happier than money. ”
When it comes to planning for the future, Zhong Meimei said:
"In the future, I want to take my mother and sister to go to school abroad, and everything will be arranged in the future, and I also want to take my grandfather to go abroad for the elderly. ”
Some people say that he has an eye for money, and he doesn't care about anything in order to make money.
Some people also say that all children nowadays want to do live broadcasts, make a lot of money, and "run" when they earn money.
Some people even accused Zhong Meimei of earning money from the Chinese people, and when she had enough, her family left with the money.
But in fact, if you have delved into the story behind Zhong Meimei, you will understand:
This teenager who once fell into a dung pit may be the real "sober in the world".
01
In 2020, Zhong Meimei became popular overnight.
What followed was a huge temptation, and during that time, there were countless calls to Zhong Meimei every day:
"From four or five o'clock in the morning to twelve o'clock in the evening, I pick up one every two hours on average, and sometimes I pick up two every hour, and I can call my mobile phone until it runs out of battery. ”
And the purpose of making a phone call is nothing more than endorsement, signing, bringing goods, etc.
Once, as soon as the other party opened his mouth, he asked for a signing fee of one million per year, but he was rejected by Zhong's mother.
After being rejected, the other party was a little unwilling, and increased the price to 15 million for three years, and also included a three-bedroom and two-living room house in Chaoyang District, Beijing.
After Zhong Meimei heard it, she was a little moved.
He secretly took his mother's mobile phone to call the other party back, asking if he could really make so much money.
After the always gentle mother found out, she seriously criticized her son, "Give you some money and you will be confused", and told him that once the contract is signed, there are some things that you don't want to do, and you have to do it in the end.
At this moment, Zhong Meimei came to her senses.
He realized that the basics were the height of talent.
If you study well in the future, what awaits you is not just a million, maybe 10 million, 100 million.
After figuring this out, Zhong Meimei no longer thinks about taking shortcuts and becoming an Internet celebrity, but focuses on her studies.
After unremitting efforts, Zhong Meimei was admitted to one of the best key high schools in Heilongjiang Province, Harbin No. 3 Middle School, during the high school entrance examination.
As he himself said:
"I still love acting, but my first identity is that I am a student, and I will put my studies first, and I hope to take acting as a side job in the future. ”
In the face of huge traffic and temptation, not everyone can have Zhong Meimei's sobriety.
Previously, there was a 10-year-old boy in Japan, Nakamura Ko, who became popular on the Internet because he opened a personal channel called "It's not unfortunate not to go to school".
Because he "didn't want to be a robot for doing his homework", Nakamura chose to drop out of school in the third grade of elementary school.
After he made a video of his story, it garnered millions of views.
Nakamura was overwhelmed by the sudden attention, and he decided to start working full-time as a blogger and never go back to school.
However, a few years later, Nakamura experimented with various video genres, including game live broadcasts, funny short films, etc., with a pitifully low number of views and likes.
Now, Nakamura, who has been popular for a short time, has completely broken off.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, it is wise to make a fortune when it is popular.
But when the tide passes, it is known who is swimming naked.
Those vulgar, negative, and meaningless content will be eliminated in a short time, and what can really be "popular" all the time must have connotation and depth.
The latter has never been inseparable from the support of basic knowledge and culture.

Writer Zhang Yan once said:
"I care too much about other people's comments and opinions, and I can't live according to my own heart.
In the long run, life will lose its direction, like a boat in a torrent, always spinning in the whirlpool, and sooner or later it will die underwater. ”
In life, many people always regard the opinions of others as extremely important.
Once you hear a bad evaluation, you will feel sad, feel inferior, and even wronged yourself in order to cater to others.
In the end, not only did he not become like himself, but he also lived a tired life.
But Zhong Meimei is different.
In the face of doubts and bad comments in the comment area, he clearly knows that 99.99% of these mean remarks are just out of malice and jealousy.
Therefore, he will not punish and torture himself with other people's words, his attitude is always the same sentence:
"Whoever suffers, he changes. ”
In the face of school bullying, Zhong Meimei is the same.
Before, because Zhong Meimei made jokes on the Internet, his classmates at school were not friendly to him.
Most of his classmates were very indifferent to him, and some of them would call him "mother" and "abnormal" in front of him and try to isolate him.
When encountering these things, Zhong Meimei did not show sadness and collapse as those people hoped.
On the contrary, in his opinion, this is because he is in a different world from the other party, and it is normal for others to not understand what he does.
After hearing Zhong Meimei's experience of being bullied on campus, the host subconsciously asked him, "Will you be sad?"
Zhong Meimei replied calmly: "Don't be sad, I can't change it." ”
Facebook conducted an emotional experiment with 690,000 users.
In the experiment, users were divided into two groups, the first group was given positive and happy content, and the other group was given negative and depressed content, and then the text or images posted by these users on the Internet were recorded.
It was found that most subjects were "emotionally infected":
Users who have been pushed happy content are also relatively positive in the pictures and texts they post;
Users who receive negative content are also relatively pessimistic about the pictures and texts they post.
However, the reality is that the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of others have nothing to do with us many times.
Seeing this, you may understand how strong the heart of the teenager who learned to block out the emotions of others early on.

In the interview, Zhong Meimei admitted frankly that she was "outdated", when she was popular before, small advertisers generally did not accept it, and the advertisement that used to offer 100,000 yuan will now be accepted at 60,000 yuan.
Not only that, but he also stressed more than once that "if you have money, you will earn it" and "there is nothing happier than money".
And these remarks naturally caused controversy.
Many people think that at a young age, he only thinks about making money.
But in fact, after understanding Zhong Meimei's experience, you will naturally understand why he said this.
Zhong Meimei was brought up by her grandfather, her father was not only absent, but she would often abuse her mother and herself, and the most serious one, her mother was even beaten to a fracture.
Zhong Meimei, who has always been optimistic, can't help but collapse and sobbed whenever she mentions her father, he said:
"I shouldn't have a dad in my house. He would beat me, he would beat my mother, and we would live in his shadow. I really want him to leave, and I especially want them to divorce. ”
After his parents divorced in 2020, his father would still harass him and his mother from time to time.
So much so that Zhong Meimei is still particularly sensitive to two kinds of sounds, one is the knock on the door, and the other is the ringing of the phone.
As soon as these two voices sounded, Zhong Meimei seemed to be in fear of being found by her father again.
Therefore, this precocious boy's greatest wish has always been to become the pillar of the family, protect his mother and sister, and let his grandfather, who really loves him, live a better life.
It is precisely because of the harsh living environment that he is particularly eager to grow up and make money, only in this way can he resist the ups and downs of life and protect the people he loves from injury.
If you don't know the suffering of others, don't persuade people to be generous.
One day you will understand the meaning of earning money, and you will know that every penny you earn can be turned into an umbrella to protect yourself and your family from the wind and rain.

When Zhong Meimei was 13 years old, she asked a question at GQ: "What do you think is the shallowest degree of suffering?"
He wrote: "There is no depth of pain. ”
At the time, many people were amazed by his maturity and transparency.
Now it seems that this sobriety is not entirely due to talent, but more because of his experience.
Even so, Zhong Meimei still chose to be strong, and also ushered in the glimmer of dawn.
This 17-year-old boy has taught countless adults a very important lesson.
If you don't float in good times and don't fall in adversity, you can cultivate your shielding power and keep your own rhythm of life, which is the real sobriety in the world.
Give it a thumbs up and encourage your friends.
