Once a dominant
To say that Huo Zun's road to fame can be regarded as rising step by step. In 2009, he participated in the boys' group of the talent show "Super Girl" and won the third place in the national finals. Although he failed to win the crown in the end, he has opened a door for himself in the entertainment industry.
In 2014, Huo Zun appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and sang his famous work "Bead Curtain" for everyone. The mellow and powerful, high-pitched and agitated voice instantly fascinated the national audience. Since then, the name Huo Zun has become a household name, and his career is like being poured a handful of fuel and reaching a peak.
In the next few years, Huo Zun can be said to have resources rolling in. Not only did he play all over the New Year's Eve parties of various David TVs, but he also released several albums one after another, and fans rushed to contribute sales to him. Even the number of Weibo followers is as high as six figures.
The family environment is in trouble
However, just when Huo Zun's career was booming, his love life and family situation seemed to have always been a big problem for him. Among them, the most talked-about is the entangled love affair between him and dancer Chen Lu.
The relationship between the two is said to have started in 2012. At that time, Chen Lu was already the manager of Huo Zun, and the two gradually approached in the backstage of a variety show recording and fell in love. For 9 years, the two have a deep love, you and me. The outside world thought that the couple was about to enter the palace of marriage.
Unexpectedly, in August 2021, Chen Lu suddenly posted on social platforms, accusing Huo Zun of misconduct towards her, and exposed the chat records of the two as evidence. This undoubtedly gave Huo Zun a slap in the face, which instantly aroused strong attention from public opinion.
It didn't stop there. Not long after, Huo Zun even reported to the police, claiming that Chen Lu was suspected of "extortion" of 9 million yuan. This relationship can be completely ruined, and Chen Lu was criminally detained in December.
This farce undoubtedly cast a shadow on Huo Zun's career. The successive scandals have made many original fans disgusted. This popular idol seems to be falling off the altar.
The mother plot was the fuse
Studying the reasons carefully, the reason why Huo Zun has come to this point today is largely due to his special family environment. It turned out that Huo Zun's parents were both well-known singers in the circle. His father, Huofeng, became an instant hit in the 90s with an album "Big Sedan Chair"; And his mother, Zhong Xiaoping, was once a diva-level singer known as "Teresa Teng in the mainland".
However, Huofeng and Zhong Xiaoping's married life is too short. In the 5th year of Huo Zun's birth, the two divorced, and only Zhong Xiaoping and Huo Zun were left in this family. In order to raise her son, Zhong Xiaoping had to give up her career. As a full-time mother, she put all her heart and soul into Huo Zun. It is precisely because of this excessive pampering that Huo Zun's later outrageous behavior became more and more outrageous.
Some analysts pointed out that Zhong Xiaoping's "doting" on Huo Zun has reached a point of "almost deformity". Not only did he use up his savings to buy an 800-square-meter single-family villa for his son in the suburbs of Shanghai, but he also regarded his son as his only possession.
This distorted mother-son relationship not only satisfies Huo Zun's desire for maternal love, but also allows him to develop personality defects of self-centeredness and lack of empathy. Once he left his mother's arms, Huo Zun began to go further and further on the road of affection.
Exhausted, retreating to the mountains and forests
Under the double attack of family, relationship and many other problems, Huo Zun seems to be unable to continue to maintain his career as an artist. In August 2021, shortly after the love entanglement with Chen Lu was exposed, Huo Zun officially announced through social platforms that he would completely withdraw from the showbiz. All personal works will also be taken off the shelves, and the company will be cancelled one after another.
At the age of 31, for a singer who is at the peak of his career, he is inevitably too young. But Huo Zun obviously felt unprecedented fatigue and powerlessness to make such a decision. In fact, this is not the first time Huo Zun wants to stay away from the distractions of the entertainment industry. As early as a few years ago, he withdrew and went to Tibet, hoping to empty his mind in that pure land. It's just that it didn't last long at that time, and it returned to the familiar stage.
This time, Huo Zun finally made up his mind, he would leave the hustle and bustle of the city, go to a quiet deep mountain, and start his hermit life. This is undoubtedly a shocking choice for this already well-known king-level singer.
From dominating the storm to retiring to the mountains and forests, Huo Zun used his own personal experience to vividly explain that being rich and wealthy does not mean that you can achieve true happiness. For many people, the pursuit of inner peace is often more difficult.
Qingshan lived in seclusion and enjoyed his old age
No matter what the outside world speculates, Huo Zun is indeed living a light life without quarrel with the world now. According to his own words revealed on social media, he is practicing Buddhism in this mountain forest and living a self-sufficient life.
"Green mountains and green waters, meditate and cultivate the mind. This is a quote he left in his circle of friends last year. It seems that Huo Zun's biggest pursuit now is to stay away from the temptation of the downtown and precipitate himself in this paradise-like place.
As for the previous dispute with Chen Lu, he did not explain much to the outside world, which was particularly light-hearted. Perhaps, in his opinion, the twists and turns of that relationship were just an episode in his life, and had little to do with his future life as a hermit.
Some analysts pointed out that the reason why Huo Zun was able to make such a decisive choice was inseparable from the influence of his parents. On the one hand, it is his mother Zhong Xiaoping's doting that has created his self-centeredness; On the other hand, it was the absence of his father Huofeng that made him tired and tired of his career as an artist. These two factors interacted and eventually led him to the path of seclusion today. But in the final analysis, Huo Zun also hopes to find more inner peace here and live the simple life he is looking forward to.
Fame and fortune are bumpy for life
Thinking about Huo Zun's life trajectory, it is too bumpy and turbulent. He was originally just an ordinary child, but he was destined to be extraordinary because of his parents' musical awards. In particular, his mother's doting on him made it difficult for him to establish normal interpersonal relationships.
In this way, Huo Zun embarked on the road of an artist step by step. On the surface, it is honor, fame and fortune, but the loneliness and gap in the heart can never be made up. It wasn't until the relationship with Chen Lu completely broke down that he finally realized the emptiness of fame and fortune.
In a sense, Huo Zun is actually a victim of the "cauldron of prosperity and withering" in the entertainment industry. When everyone only sees the aura and pride on him, they ignore the never-ending desire in his heart. Now after retiring to the mountains, Huo Zun can finally get rid of all this. He will no longer be troubled by the aura, no longer fall into the quagmire of striving for fame and fortune, but only focus on self-cultivation and pursue inner peace and freedom, which is the real liberation for him.
Fame and fortune will certainly bring people a moment of prosperity, but it is often accompanied by endless troubles and pain. Huo Zun's life experience vividly confirms this point, telling us that coveting fame is actually a road full of thorns. Only by letting go of fame and fortune and having no distractions can you live the true meaning of your life.
