1. Preface: Gao Xiaosong, who was once known as a "Tsinghua genius", was once proud of his achievements, but his future was ruined by a lawless mouth.
Gao Xiaosong's name may be little known nowadays, but looking back on the past few decades, his name is a well-known cultural celebrity on campus.
Gao Xiaosong was born in an intellectual family, his ancestors have been literati and ink writers for generations, and he has a high reputation for showing extraordinary talent since childhood, and is known as the "Tsinghua Genius".
In the beautiful period of college life, Gao Xiaosong has become a dazzling star on campus. He has achieved outstanding academic results, and loves to participate in various literary and artistic activities, and often wins good results in campus poetry and songs, debate competitions and other competitions, and is deeply loved and expected by teachers and students.
After graduation, Gao Xiaosong quickly emerged in the literary world with his profound literary attainments and rich historical and cultural heritage.
His popular songs such as "You at the Same Table", "If There Is an Afterlife", and "The Brother Who Sleeps on My Top Bunk" are full of youthful vitality and beautiful melodies, which are all the rage.
What is even more rare is that Gao Xiaosong is an all-round cultural talent, who has in-depth research on music, drama, and historical monuments, and can be called erudite and talented. It was with these outstanding talents that he was able to host the high-profile talk show "Xiaoshuo" that year and became an idol in the hearts of the majority of fans.
However, just as his career was booming, Gao Xiaosong gradually fell into the abyss of arrogance. This "Tsinghua genius", who was once admired by everyone, openly made inappropriate remarks in programs such as "Xiaoshuo", maliciously derogatory and insulted national heroes.
In this way, Gao Xiaosong destroyed his brilliant life course with his own hands because of a lawless mouth. The glorious former has become a symbol of depravity and corruption in an instant.
This "Tsinghua genius", who was once admired by everyone, failed because of a moment of indulgence and destroyed his future, which is really regrettable.
2. Revealing the predicament of this world: In a social media appearance, Gao Xiaosong's face was haggard and his appearance had changed dramatically. It turns out that this once glamorous cultural celebrity is now in trouble, and his life is unbearable, and he can only share clips of his daily life on online platforms.
On May 26, 2023, cultural giant Gao Xiaosong suddenly posted a video on his social media accounts.
At the beginning of the film, he first revealed a yellow and emaciated face in the camera, his eyes were dull and his expression was indifferent. This image is far from the elegant and personable Gao Xiaosong in our memory, and it is simply a world of difference.
When people look closely, the face shows a serious sagging, the facial lines are wrinkled and staggered, and the whole person seems to have lost its original posture and demeanor, and looks old.
"How did this happen?" the viewers couldn't help but sigh. In retrospect, it is really embarrassing that this cultural celebrity who once wrote that "life is not only about the present, but also about poetry and distant places", can only barely make ends meet by sharing the bits and pieces of daily life on the Internet.
In this video, Gao Xiaosong first showed his new work "One Hundred Years of Solitude" to the majority of netizens, and shared his unique understanding of this work. However, his tone was bland and apparently he hadn't delivered a compelling speech in public for a long time.
He then picked up a guitar and sang songs he had written in his youth, but with a hoarse voice, in stark contrast to the passionate performances he had on stage.
The most distressing thing is that when Gao Xiaosong mentioned his old work, his eyes showed deep self-deprecation and helplessness. It seems that he, who was once revered by many people as a "Tsinghua genius", has long been deeply confused and confused about his past and life path.
Back then, Gao Xiaosong was a well-known cultural idol, and the talk show "Xiaoshuo" hosted by him attracted even more attention and attracted countless audiences. But now, he can only rely on sharing life videos to get through the rest of his life, and this huge gap is really poignant.
This talented man with infinite scenery in the past, his current situation is really impermanent in the world.
3. Looking back on the glorious past: Once upon a time, Gao Xiaosong, with his outstanding talent and popular works, successfully hosted a highly sought-after talk show "Xiao Shuo", which can be described as the pinnacle of life.
In the weekly hit program, we can always see Gao Xiaosong's outstanding eloquence and profound thoughts, vividly and profoundly expounding his insights into the unique perspective of history and culture.
At the same time, he has a keen sense of art and dares to innovate, and is an artist full of romantic feelings, whether it is talking about the past and the present, or tasting music and art, he can play with ease, and his mouth is like a river, which has attracted many fans.
What's even more rare is that in the show, Gao Xiaosong will also improvise pen and ink, showing his exquisite calligraphy skills. This amazed the audience, and praised him as a genius of "both civil and military", and deservedly won the reputation of "Tsinghua genius".
In addition to the popular talk shows, Gao Xiaosong's music works have also been highly praised by the audience. He has created popular masterpieces such as "You at the Table", "If There Is an Afterlife", "The Brother Who Sleeps on My Top Bunk", etc., with beautiful melodies and philosophical lyrics, which are highly sung.
In fact, Gao Xiaosong's love for the art of music is not impulsive. He has had a strong interest in classical music, poetry and singing since he was a child, and he was a core member of the literary club when he was in college.
Although he went on to other fields after graduation, music has always been an important part of his life and has become his lifelong passion.
In addition to talk shows and musical works, Gao Xiaosong is a versatile all-round talent in his own right. He is proficient in many fields such as calligraphy and painting, opera, novels and films, and is talented and profound.
It is precisely because of this that Gao Xiaosong has risen rapidly and become a well-known cultural superstar, which can be called the pinnacle of life.
However, Gao's talent did not keep him humble. He gradually became arrogant, vulgar in his language, and even openly insulted national heroes, praised the United States and Japan, and voluntarily renounced his Chinese nationality.
Just when Gao Xiaosong's fame was in full swing, a sudden change changed his fate. This "Tsinghua genius", who was once admired by everyone, began to become arrogant and vulgar, and finally went to a path of no return.
First of all, the well-known Gao Xiaosong completely denied the four famous inventions of the mainland on a talk show, and even did not hesitate to maliciously smear them. He openly declared that the trivial things in daily life, such as stir-frying, playing mahjong, and doing massages, can also be called the "four great inventions," and he went so far as to define our national hero Zheng Chenggong as a "widow"! In the face of the repeated doubts of many netizens, Gao Xiaosong not only showed no remorse, but instead defended his remarks with a natural posture, and even held that there was "no problem" in paying respects at the Yasukuni Shrine.
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused widespread attention and heated discussions from all walks of life, and Gao Xiaosong instantly became the focus of public opinion, and was strongly condemned by the public, and netizens accused him of being a typical representative of "pro-American and pro-Japanese" and "admiring foreign countries".
In the past, Gao Xiaosong was highly regarded by the public for his outstanding talent and unique insights, and was known as the "genius of Tsinghua University". However, it was this arrogance and arrogance that led him to depravity.
People can't help but sigh: It is important to be talented, but if you lack basic moral cultivation and the bottom line of life, you will be just a blind man touching an elephant after all.
5. Describe the cost of sin: Gao Xiaosong's words and deeds finally violated the red line of the law. In 2011, he was sentenced to six months in prison for a drunk driving accident. Although he actively participated in the filming of public service announcements after being released from prison, Gao Xiaosong had already been discredited at this time.
His blasphemy of national heroes, praise of foreign powers, and public betrayal of the motherland have undoubtedly deeply pierced the hearts of the vast number of people, and public condemnation is naturally inevitable, however, this is only the tip of the iceberg of Gao Xiaosong's criminal career.
In 2011, Gao Xiaosong made a big mistake again due to a momentary drunkenness. At that time, he was so drunk at a social event that he had the audacity to drive a car on a rampage on the road.
As a result, it is conceivable that Gao Xiaosong hit four cars parked on the side of the road one after another, causing a serious series of rear-end accidents, and what is worse is that although the scene was a mess, Gao Xiaosong was not afraid, but instead scolded the victim with a hideous face and scolded him for his extremely vicious appearance, which made people wonder if he was suffering from severe alcohol dependence.
In the end, the severe punishment of the law came as scheduled. Gao Xiaosong was sentenced to six months in prison for this drunk driving accident, and he personally tasted the bitter fruits of his life behind bars.
After a long prison sentence, Gao Xiaosong finally realized his mistake and actively participated in the production of a public service announcement with the theme of "No Drunk Driving" as a way to apologize to the public and show his deep remorse.
However, despite Gao Xiaosong's determination to repent, his image in the eyes of the general public has been irretrievably destroyed. This "Tsinghua genius", who was admired by countless people in the past, has no place in the mainstream society and has become the object of condemnation.
Even some senior media people disclosed that Gao Xiaosong's partners around him have also severed their cooperative relations with him, and the high-profile programs he once hosted have not escaped the doom of being suspended.
It is no exaggeration to say that this once famous cultural superstar has fallen from the peak of his life to the trough in this short period of time.
Gao Xiaosong's life process is really impressive. He was born in a scholarly family, and has been known as the pride of the family since he was a child, and he is the "Tsinghua genius" who stands alone in the world.
In college, he has already shown an elegant temperament and profound literary literacy, and after graduation, he is even more talented, hosting many popular talk shows, and winning the love of countless fans.
He once wrote the touching words of "life is not only about the immediate situation, but also poetry and distance", and the future is bright and the scenery is infinite.
However, it is such an all-round talent who combines talent, knowledge, and eloquence, but because he let go of his willful and reckless mouth, he finally cast an eternal sin and buried his bright future with his own hands.
Gao Xiaosong not only made inappropriate remarks on the program many times and slandered national heroes, but also openly admired foreigners, vigorously praised the criminal acts of the great powers, and finally made the astonishing decision to openly betray the motherland.
In daily life, he also paid a heavy price for six months in prison for indulging in alcohol that caused an accident caused by drunk driving.
From the glory of life to the abyss of morality, Gao Xiaosong made unforgivable mistakes again and again. This figure, who was expected to become a "modern cultural icon", ended up being a "loser" who was spurned by everyone, which is really a sobering lesson and warning.
The journey of life is like a wonderful chess game, no matter what critical moment we are in the peak or trough at the moment, every step needs to be cautious and steady. The talent of outstanding people is naturally extraordinary, but if we do not have the determination and perseverance to uphold the foundation and even values, we will surely fall into the abyss of mistakes again and again, and we will not only fail to live up to the value and dignity of the individual themselves, but also the ardent expectations and responsibilities entrusted to us by the times!
Sadly, Gao Xiaosong, who was once glamorous, is now infamous and can only rely on online platforms to share clips of his daily life for the rest of his life. Such an ending is truly regrettable, and this is the result of his laissez-faire and willful behavior, which ultimately leads to the tragedy of self-destruction.
May this profound lesson serve as a wake-up call to the world and prevent the repetition of the mistakes of the past.
