Preface
Speaking of the host of CCTV, the first thing that many people think of must be the funny and humorous Sa Beining, or the elegant and generous Dong Qing, or the "first brother of CCTV" Kang Hui.
But in fact, CCTV once had a host who was even better than Dong Qing, Shen Xuhua.
But just when Shen Xuhua was at the peak of his career, because of a phone call, this excellent host fell into the endless abyss.
Not only that, but before she died, she suffered a full 19 days of torture.
Under such painful torture, Shen Xuhua left with endless regrets.
So, how did this phone call make Shen Xuhua fall into the abyss, and what kind of torture did she suffer before she died?
The tragedy caused by a phone call
On the evening of August 1, 2002, Shen Xuhua and several of his friends came to Zhang Shengji's restaurant for dinner.
At the dinner table, Shen Xuhua chatted very happily with his friends.
And when friends mentioned Shen Xuhua's career, they were also sincerely happy for her.
At that time, Shen Xuhua was one of the most popular hosts of CCTV, and many viewers liked the program she hosted very much.
Facing the blessings of his friends, Shen Xuhua was also very happy in his heart.
Just as she was about to say something, a phone call interrupted her.
She put down the cutlery in her hand and prepared to answer the phone.
But for some reason, she couldn't hear the voice on the other side of the phone.
Shen Xuhua thought that the signal was not very good due to the sound in the box, so he signaled to his friend to go outside to answer a call.
Shen Xuhua listened while walking, and came all the way to the staircase outside the box, wanting to go inside to answer the phone.
Then, Shen Xuhua stretched out his hand and pushed open the safe passage door beside him.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that it was precisely because of pushing open this door that Shen Xuhua's life stayed at this moment forever.
It turned out that behind the fire door, it was not a fire escape at all, but an area under construction.
There was nothing outside the door, just a dark clearing.
By the time Shen Xuhua found out that something was wrong, it was already too late.
After Shen Xuhua landed, no one found out, and it wasn't until 40 minutes later that she was discovered by passing workers.
Subsequently, the workers hurriedly dialed 120.
At this time, Shen Xuhua's friends knew that she had an accident, rushed to the hospital, and called her family.
After arriving at the hospital, Shen Xuhua was pushed into the emergency room.
The doctors also tried their best to rescue this excellent host, but because they missed the best rescue time, Shen Xuhua's condition was very dangerous.
But the doctors did their best, but they were only able to save Shen Xuhua's life.
At the same time, Shen Xuhua's family also rushed to the hospital.
At this time, Shen Xuhua was full of tubes, lying on the hospital bed very weakly, and there might be other risks at any time.
Seeing this scene, her family couldn't help but hide their faces and cry bitterly.
In the next ten days, Shen Xuhua was pushed into the rescue room many times for rescue.
This also made Shen Xuhua's already fragile body suffer even more torture.
After 19 days of torture, doctors still failed to save Shen Xuhua's life.
On August 19, 2002, this excellent CCTV host stayed forever at the moment when she was 33 years old.
Brilliant career
If he hadn't pushed open that door, Shen Xuhua might have become the "first sister of CCTV" in the future.
As a host, Shen Xuhua naturally has a certain strength.
This is mainly due to the strict requirements that her family has given her since she was a child, coupled with Shen Xuhua's own hard work and talent, which allowed her to enter the stage of CCTV.
Because he likes to be a host since he was a child, Shen Xuhua chose the broadcasting major when he applied for the university major.
In order to realize the dream in his heart, Shen Xuhua practiced hard almost every day to improve his strength.
With Shen Xuhua's efforts, she entered an announcer at Yuhang TV Station in Zhejiang.
And for this job, Shen Xuhua is also very serious and responsible, and has never slacked off.
It is this conscientiousness and responsibility that made Shen Xuhua a first-class announcer of Hangzhou Radio and Television Bureau.
After that, Shen Xuhua participated in the "Royalstar" host competition held by CCTV.
The people who participated in this competition can be described as full of talents.
But Shen Xuhua still relied on his ability to stand out among many contestants and became the host of "Sunset Red".
In order to better adapt to this show, Shen Xuhua also changed his hosting style.
And this also made her receive the love of many viewers and became one of the popular hosts of CCTV.
Shen Xuhua, who is in full swing in his career, also found his other half later, tied the knot with her husband Yu Jianhua, and soon gave birth to a lovely son.
has his own career, a loving husband and a sensible and lovely son, Shen Xuhua's life is really very happy.
If he hadn't pushed open that door, Shen Xuhua might still be so happy.
However, time cannot be turned back, and Shen Xuhua's life finally stopped at the moment when he was 33 years old.
Shen's mother, who learned the bad news, couldn't accept this fact at all.
And after her husband Yu Jianhua learned what happened, he decided to seek justice for his wife.
Soon, Yu Jianhua took the Beijing Municipal Fire Bureau to court.
In his opinion, Zhang Shengji's restaurant obviously did not meet the requirements for safe evacuation, but the fire department still issued a letter of opinion for him, confirming that the door was a safe exit.
However, the court ultimately ruled against Yu Jianhua.
After that, after consultation, Yu Jianhua sued the restaurant where the incident occurred, Zhang Shengji Restaurant, to court.
But the restaurant quibbled and put a "fire escape" sign on the door at that time.
But after a police investigation, it was found that the restaurant was posted after the incident.
In the end, the court ruled in favor of Yu Jianhua and demanded that Zhang Shengji Restaurant compensate Shen Xuhua's family 380,000 yuan.
Although Yu Jianhua won the lawsuit in the end, his wife never came back, and Shen Xuhua's son lost his mother forever.
epilogue
Because of an accident, he took away Shen Xuhua, a young and excellent host.
And at the time of her death, her body was still suffering from all kinds of torture.
If there is no accident, Shen Xuhua may continue to shine on the stage of CCTV and become the "first sister of CCTV".
But it was because of Zhang Shengji's negligence that the safety signs were not placed in time, which ended Shen Xuhua's life.
What makes people even more angry is that after the incident, the restaurant not only did not realize its mistake in time, but tried to cover up the truth of the matter and blamed all the mistakes on Shen Xuhua.
But fortunately, the law finally sought justice for Shen Xuhua.
However, this incident also brings us some warnings to put safety signs in time to avoid the recurrence of such incidents.
