Mr. Zhang Shaogang, born in 1972, was born in Inner Mongolia, which is full of humanistic atmosphere, the most real worker family. His parents, two simple workers' families, worked diligently beside the production line of the factory; The community in which it is located is also a gathering place for hard workers, and it is rustic and unpretentious. However, such a difficult environment has shaped Mr. Zhang Shaogang's unique personality of daring to speak out, and distinguishing between love and hate.
Despite the rigor of his family education and the strict admonition of his parents for every mistake, it is amazing that Mr. Zhang Shaogang did not fall into low self-esteem or depression because of this, but always maintained a positive attitude towards life. He gets along well with his friends in the community, and in the direct and honest interactions with his peers, Mr. Zhang Shaogang's cheerful and slightly pungent personality gradually emerges.
As a diligent and studious teenager, Mr. Zhang Shaogang studied hard in his studies, and according to his recollection, he "graduated with honors from the No. 1 Secondary Vocational School of the famous First Machinery Manufacturing Group in Hohhot, the capital of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, in 1990." In September of the same year, he was successfully admitted to the Department of Photography of Communication University of China and began a four-year undergraduate study journey.
Mr. Zhang Shaogang's thirst for knowledge did not stop with graduation, and he bravely rose to the challenge and successfully obtained the admission letter of the graduate student of the Television Academy. After two years of unremitting efforts, Mr. Zhang Shaogang finally successfully completed his studies and was awarded a master's degree. To his credit, perhaps out of deep love for his alma mater, Mr. Zhang Shaogang decided to stay at China Transmission and take on the responsibility of a teacher after obtaining his degree.
Although Mr. Zhang Shaogang was the first to set foot in the teaching world, his reputation quickly spread on campus. Many of the teachers who are popular with students have left a deep impression on people with their unique teaching methods, such as a lively classroom atmosphere and lively and interesting teaching content. However, Mr. Zhang Shaogang is unique in that he is adept at using motivational harsh criticism to bring out the potential of his students.
Looking back on those years of burning passion, countless contemporary students all sighed that whenever they heard that Professor Zhang Shaogang's course was coming, they always had indescribable tension and resistance surging in their hearts. Often at this moment, there will always be brave people who jump out and express their personal opinions and vent their emotions without fear.
However, what is surprising is that when Mr. Zhang Shaogang officially launched the teaching journey, the number of students in the classroom was enthusiastic, and the number of students reached new highs. This undoubtedly shows the students' extreme admiration for Mr. Zhang Shaogang's personality and sincere admiration for his tenacious spirit of self-exhortation and self-challenge to the top.
As early as the 90s of the last century, Mr. Zhang Shaogang emerged on the media stage, and with his keen insight and unique style of outspoken criticism, he stood out from many outstanding teachers and gradually grew into a bright new star in the media field.
One of the most striking events was that in 1999, when CCTV was preparing a new program "Today's Statement", Mr. Zhang Shaogang was invited to join and co-host with another potential rookie, Sa Beining.
Since then, Mr. Zhang Shaogang and Mr. Sa Beining have worked hand in hand, and two outstanding young hosts have injected vitality into "Today's Statement", and officially stepped into CCTV in the same year, starting a new career journey.
Although they are all leaders in the new generation of hosts, in the fierce workplace competition environment, the potential competition between the two has never stopped.
What is remarkable is that after only two years, in the finals of a high-profile host competition, Mr. Sa Beining won the crown in one fell swoop and became the focus of attention. In stark contrast, Mr. Zhang Shaogang is a little bleak as a result.
In the face of Mr. Sa Beining's congratulations, Mr. Zhang Shaogang frankly admitted his deep jealousy, thus showing the workplace competition between the two unreservedly in front of the public.
However, Mr. Zhang Shaogang, as a conscientious professional, still devotes himself to the hosting of the program. His sharp and outspoken courage and courage to reveal the dark side of society won warm praise from the audience.
It is this style of conduct that has shaped Mr. Zhang Shaogang's unique personality charm.
Despite Mr. Zhang's reputation within CCTV, his overly sharp, sharp and ruthless style has made him unmatched by the general public. At one point, his partner Sa Beining tried to lead him to a more sleek, slightly flexible form of expression, but this was not supported by Zhang Shaogang.
Whether it is in the face of authoritative leaders or ordinary colleagues, Mr. Zhang Shaogang rarely uses euphemistic and subtle words to express his opinions, so there is always the possibility of tension between him and his superiors, and it is difficult to win the full respect and affection of others.
In the end, under the pressure of CCTV's increasingly severe working environment, Mr. Zhang Shaogang had to make the decision to leave his job in 2010.
Although he has left an important position in CCTV, Mr. Zhang Shaogang still maintains a certain degree of popularity, and many institutions have extended olive branches to him. One of the most eye-catching is Tianjin Satellite TV in Tianjin, which invited Mr. Zhang Shaogang as the host in order to create a new job search reality show "You Must Belong".
Compared with other job-seeking programs on the market, "You Belong" pays more attention to presenting the real experience of the guests, rather than over-pursuing entertainment effects. Because of this, Mr. Zhang Shaogang, who has always been straightforward, has undoubtedly become the best candidate for the show.
However, it is this unique style that once again puts Mr. Zhang Shaogang at the center of controversy. In one episode of the program, a female returnee lamented that "China has changed too much", and Mr. Zhang Shaogang directly questioned why she brought people "a chill".
In the face of such a direct accusation, the female guest naturally felt dissatisfied, and then chose to avoid answering the question, and the two sides fell into an awkward silence.
What is even more shocking is that during the recording of another episode, a job seeker suddenly fainted and appeared to be unwell. However, Mr. Zhang Shaogang, as the host, turned a blind eye to this, and indifferently asked the guests whether they were "pretending to be sick", completely failing to show due sympathy.
After these incidents were broadcast, they immediately caused an uproar in society, and a large number of viewers condemned Mr. Zhang Shaogang's inappropriate remarks and demanded that he publicly apologize to the victims.
In the face of such huge public pressure, Mr. Zhang Shaogang finally had to announce the end of his hosting career in 2013 and focus on education.
After the incident of "You Belong", Zhang Shaogang's image in the eyes of the public suffered a heavy blow, and his reputation fell off a cliff. In 2013, he resolutely decided to take a break from hosting the stage and devote himself to the noble duty of teaching and educating people.
However, the soul of this passionate presiding career, the deep yearning for success has not been extinguished. In 2015, he seized the opportunity of Shandong Satellite TV's popular variety show "Youth New Anchor" and returned to the public eye again, showing his new style to the audience.
Unfortunately, the response to this comeback was not satisfactory and failed to regain its former glory.
With the passage of time, Zhang Shaogang gradually realized that it was impossible to seek a breakthrough in traditional TV stations, so he decisively set his sights on the emerging online platform. Since 2016, he has frequently appeared in major online variety shows, such as "Wonderful Talk", "Tucao Conference", etc., with his sharp and unique language style, he has once again won the warm pursuit of young audiences.
As the popularity of online variety shows continues to soar, Zhang Shaogang has once again become the focus of attention. Some people may question whether he is self-deprecating, who once won the CCTV gold medal host award, now has to "deign" to the online program?
In the face of such doubts, Zhang Shaogang has always remained silent. In his eyes, life is always full of endless unknowns and changes, and everyone has the right to choose the most suitable development path for themselves.
Now that the development space of traditional TV stations has reached its peak, let's bravely step into the new world of online live broadcasting! This firm and rational philosophy of survival is exactly the life creed that Zhang Shaogang has always adhered to.
Therefore, on the stage of online variety shows, we can still see Zhang Shaogang's perseverance, and at the same time, he has never forgotten the original intention of teaching and educating people. The two professions go hand in hand, Zhang Shaogang carefully balanced, and has been consistent for 30 years, focusing on career development while not forgetting to teach young people to solve their doubts.
Although he has long been a well-known host at home and abroad, Zhang Shaogang has always adhered to his consistent teaching style and educational philosophy during his teaching on campus. The rigorous style of correcting students' mistakes and criticizing mercilessly, which was established as early as the Zhongchuan period, was designed to inspire students to have the courage to challenge their own limits and make them never stop striving for excellence.
According to the memories of those former students, there were very few people in Professor Zhang Shaogang's class who were lucky enough to escape his harsh criticism! The reason is very simple, because these young students are fragile in their hearts and cannot resist Zhang Shaogang's straightforward, spicy, and stunned education methods.
Once, Zhang Shaogang questioned a student who was renting an off-campus apartment without permission, and the two had a heated conversation. The student tried to quibble, but Zhang Shaogang did not show mercy and continued to reprimand the student as usual until the latter burst into tears.
Even so, after the long "talks" were over, Zhang Shaogang still asked again and again, asking whether the student had really realized his mistake.
This is the teaching style that Zhang Shaogang has always adhered to as a senior teacher, which stems from his firm belief and original intention when he embarked on the road of teaching and educating people many years ago. Although his approach was harsh and direct, he earned the respect of his students from the bottom of his heart.
Some outsiders even commented: "Zhang Shaogang is deeply loved by students", but this statement was strongly opposed by the students at that time.
In their eyes, the feeling that Zhang Shaogang brings to people is not "deeply loved", but a mixture of awe and fear. However, in any case, this unique way of teaching has long been deeply imprinted in the hearts of students and has become their unforgettable memory.
Zhang Shaogang's life can be described as ups and downs, and his career is even more magnificent. He was once a high-profile CCTV rising star host, but he withdrew from the stage because of inappropriate words and deeds; He was also the popular king of online variety shows that rose again, but he was questioned and criticized for "falling from CCTV host to online variety".
Along the way, his life is like a thrilling roller coaster, full of unexpected ups and downs. And the public's evaluation of him is even more polarized.
Some people are deeply intoxicated by his outspoken and merciless personality, and regard it as a commendable "truth elixir" that reveals the dark side of society. Others, however, deeply regret his pungent style, believing that he lacks emotional intelligence and empathy, making it difficult for him to be recognized by a wide audience.
Zhang Shaogang, who has two completely different evaluations, is as dramatic and twists and turns as his own life journey, which is unforgettable! His incomparable enthusiasm for his cause and unwavering belief in his beliefs are all amazing!
However, he behaved calmly and quietly about the turning points in his life and the praise or criticism of social opinion.
Although Zhang Shaogang has always been in the whirlpool of controversy, this just confirms the famous saying - "To live is to accept the judgment of others". However, there is no doubt that this man who dares to speak out and take responsibility has written a brilliant and magnificent career chapter in his unique way.
