Once, she was a glamorous and brilliant new star on the screen - the famous host of CCTV, and won the attention of everyone with her unique style. However, not long ago, Cheng Lei, the once dominant CCTV host, suffered a major turning point in her life and fell into a trough.
In October 2023, after serving two years and eleven months in prison, Cheng Lei finally ushered in a fair ruling of the law and was deported and repatriated to Australia in accordance with the law. People thought that after a long period of imprisonment, she would learn from the pain, change her mind, and be a new person. However, reality has poured cold water on everyone.
The moment she set foot in her homeland, the paparazzi were already waiting outside the airport, just waiting for her to appear. As expected, as soon as the camera opened, in the face of a barrage of questions from the reporters present, she had become pale and gloomy, as if she had changed person. What's even more ridiculous is that she ignored the facts on camera and forcibly defended herself, claiming that she was wronged, trying to win public sympathy.
This scene undoubtedly shocked former fans and viewers. It is really embarrassing that a well-known host who was highly respected in the past has now fallen to this. So, what caused her to fall from the top to the abyss? Let's start with her past to find out!
To tell the magnificent life course of Cheng Lei, it is really eye-catching. In the early days of CCTV, she was only 27 years old, not from a professional class, but she was able to host the financial program "Financial Review", and it only took one year to make the program that no one cared about full of vitality, and her career showed a straight upward trend.
In the following 18 years, with her outstanding hosting talent and profound financial knowledge reserves, she showed endless charm on the screen, and presided over the world-renowned commentary of the Beijing Olympic Games, thus winning the supreme honor, which can be described as fame and fortune and rave reviews.
At that time, she was indeed an "all-round" host who combined wisdom and beauty, and the audience fell in love with her both temperament and professionalism.
According to the in-depth and meticulous investigation by the state security organs, as early as 2000, Ms. Cheng Lei, who was shining brightly, returned to the embrace of the motherland with full of enthusiasm, and since then, she has already begun to lay a solid foundation for future "espionage" operations! With her unique identity as a CCTV anchor, she took the opportunity to secretly steal valuable state commercial secret information, and even secretly transmitted these vital information to Australia behind everyone's back, causing incalculable serious damage to our national economy!
Let's go back in time to the 2020 interview that caused an uproar. At that time, Ms. Cheng Lei unscrupulously revealed that "the United States and Australia have long had insight into the whole picture of China's economic development", which instantly shocked the national security department, and after in-depth and meticulous investigation, her ugly face of "betraying the motherland" was finally revealed.
To explore why Ms. Cheng Lei embarked on this road of no return, the answer is undoubtedly selfishness and greed. Although she was born and raised in China, she decided to change her nationality to Australia when she was only 10 years old.
After returning from school, she once contributed to the country's economic construction. However, the temptation of money haunted her like a poisonous snake, causing her to gradually fall into the abyss, carefully planning and carrying out a series of "espionage" plots. In order to obtain more state secret information, she even sacrificed her personal happiness and married a foreigner as an important way to obtain intelligence.
So, how exactly did she do all this? Actually, there are traces of everything. It turned out that she cleverly used her special status as a CCTV anchor to reach out to many business tycoons and tycoons, so as to obtain key economic intelligence, and then secretly convey this information to Australia in exchange for selling state secrets.
Although these facts seem to be hidden, they are ultimately grasped by the close investigation of the national security agencies. When the truth was revealed, Ms. Cheng Lei's behavior naturally aroused strong indignation and condemnation from the majority of netizens.
"You deserve it!" "You deserve it......!" They mercilessly denounced the "traitor's" bad deeds and were furious at his behavior of "betraying the country for glory." Under such surging public pressure, Ms. Cheng Lei's future and fate were destined to come to an end, and she was sentenced to prison and deported.
Although Cheng Lei had already made all-out psychological preparations, when she really faced the reality of being convicted and expelled, she still had unspeakable grievances in her heart. She was convinced that if she could return to Australia, she would be warmly welcomed and eagerly expected by the local people. However, what she didn't expect was such a bleak predicament that awaited her. The moment she stepped into Zulu Airport, the paparazzi were already quietly waiting here, their eyes full of anticipation and longing. As soon as the camera was turned on, her image instantly appeared in front of the eyes of the global audience—with a withered face, lost eyes, and a face full of exhaustion and frustration. This is no longer the CCTV host who used to be radiant and elegant. There seemed to be a smell of dust falling in the air and returning to nature, and she almost said goodbye to the world completely. Faced with such a tragic situation, she finally let go of her former pride and conceit, and turned to show her face full of pain and fear.
Perhaps, this was her last struggle after being tortured. Her lips trembled, she shouted hoarsely to the camera, tears streaming down her face, trying her best to tell her misfortune in order to win the audience's sympathy. However, for the majority of netizens, this is undoubtedly a funny and ridiculous "performance". They scoffed at such acts of repentance and rehabilitation, and shouted harsh words such as "the crime deserves" and "the blame is on oneself", which completely knocked Cheng Lei into the abyss of public opinion, and endless invective came to her like a storm. Now, the CCTV host who used to shine on the TV screen has become a "traitor" that everyone shouts about. She had the opportunity to achieve great things and become one of the most outstanding financial female anchors of our time, but because of greed and selfish desires, she embarked on this road of no return.
Looking back on Cheng Lei's magnificent life course, it is really embarrassing. She climbed to the pinnacle of her career with her outstanding talent and once became the focus of national attention. However, this was only the prelude to the ups and downs of her fortunes. It wasn't long before money and fame became the catalyst for her indulgence in luxury. In the end, she was deceived by money, and she chose the painful path of "betrayal". As a result, the glory and wealth of the past vanished, and was replaced by a spurned and discredited end.
Cheng Lei's life is like an extremely sharp double-edged sword, and honor and shame can be decided in just a moment. She originally had the opportunity to jump to the top position in the hosting industry, however, due to a momentary misstep, it actually led to failure and ruined her future.
This is a profound warning that the world regrets.
Back then, Cheng Lei was once awarded the title of "All-round Beauty with the perfect fusion of wisdom and beauty". When she won the favor of CCTV's financial programs with her professionalism, her career development was booming.
Unexpectedly, it was this high-profile hosting superstar who hid the true face of the "traitor".
Once the truth is revealed, her brilliant future comes to an abrupt end. Now she has become a "traitor" referred to by Qianfu, and this scornful label will accompany her for the rest of her life and will be difficult to erase.
Cheng Lei's fall process is like a mirror, reflecting a deep philosophy: once you deviate from your original intention and indulge in the pursuit of fame and fortune, you will definitely pay a heavy price for it, and once you touch the insurmountable red line of national interests, you will fall into the abyss from which you will never recover.
May what happened to her be a wake-up call for young people who have dreams and desire to make a difference, and not to repeat the mistakes of the past.
