Once, Zhang Fangfang, with his pure and beautiful image, as well as his petite and delicate but infinitely powerful figure, stood out among the well-known 2017 "Cement Girl" Internet celebrities.
Under the weight of the construction site, she carried her shoulders against the heavy cement, as if she was an ordinary laborer struggling to survive, and won tears and applause from many netizens who deeply resonated and sincerely supported.
However, who could have predicted that all this was just a scam that she teamed up with her agency! Now, when this carefully woven lie is ruthlessly exposed, Zhang Fangfang has fallen into the abyss of no return, and the glorious popularity of the past has disappeared in an instant.
Not only did she lose her career, but she couldn't even maintain her warm and harmonious family, and finally divorced her husband and fell into a situation that made people sigh and helpless.
This once smash hit "cement girl", what is happening now is really embarrassing, and at the same time, it can't help but make people feel funny.
Her life course full of absurdity is undoubtedly a profound warning to those who believe in Internet hotspots and blindly follow trends.
Let's go back in time to 2017, when short video platforms were in full bloom. Just as this dividend boom was sweeping, Zhang Fangfang, who was eager to get a piece of the pie, had a strong desire to become an Internet celebrity in his heart.
In order to achieve this ambitious goal, she begins a secret plot with a brokerage firm. They have carefully designed a touching and heartfelt plot: a woman from a poor background with a difficult life does not hesitate to carry cement on the construction site to earn medical expenses in order to save her terminally ill husband.
The team firmly believes that as long as this tragic suffering is vividly depicted, it will win the deep sympathy of the majority of netizens. Thus, this well-planned scam quietly kicked off.
In order to make this scam more real and credible, the crew made a nuanced portrayal of Zhang Fangfang's background and family environment. According to the script, Zhang Fangfang grew up in a poor and backward mountain village in Anhui since he was a child, and his family was poor and his life was unbearable.
At a young age, he had to interrupt his studies and leave his hometown to work to support his family.
Later, under the control of his parents, Zhang Fangfang married a man named Yu Bingquan in a neighboring village. At first, this marriage was indeed an arranged marriage based on family affection, lacking a deep emotional foundation, but as time passed, Zhang Fangfang was gradually moved by Yu Bingquan's kindness.
Although the family is not financially well-off, the young couple is still living happily ever after.
At this critical moment, the plot suddenly took a thrilling turn! The protagonist Yu Bingquan was diagnosed with a terminal illness, and the cost of treatment is sky-high. In the face of the cruel challenge of the fate of his beloved, Zhang Fangfang was under great pressure and decided to go to the construction site alone and began to undertake the heavy and complicated work of carrying cement.
Recognising the importance of convincing the audience of this twisting and turning experience, the team crafted a series of video footage and photographs to visually show Zhang Fangfang's hard work on the construction site.
In the picture, her thin body is carrying a heavy load, her whole body is covered with mud, and bags of cement weighing 50 kilograms are firmly carried on her shoulders.
When she was exhausted, she curled up in the corner of the construction site, holding up mineral water and drinking it, which was both pitiful and admirable. The scene of a beautiful woman having to step into a harsh environment and struggle desperately in order to survive deeply touched the hearts of every viewer.
In order to make this scam more authentic, the team cleverly posted the information that "Zhang Fangfang is in a poor life predicament" on the Internet. In an instant, this touching and heartfelt tragic experience spread quickly on the Internet, major news media rushed to report and reprint, and millions of netizens expressed sympathy for Zhang Fangfang and her family, and generously donated money to cheer her on, praising her as a model of perseverance and hard work.
As the story of "Cement Girl" gradually heats up, Zhang Fangfang herself is also immersed in the warm welcome of the public, and the number of her loyal fans continues to climb. She struck while the iron was hot and opened a personal short video and live broadcast platform to interact with the majority of supporters in real time.
She will share her hard work on the construction site every day, and vividly portray the filthy environment, just to make her miserable situation more vivid and distinct, and win more love and sympathy from netizens.
However, even in the face of such a difficult situation, Zhang Fangfang still maintained a modest and courteous attitude. Whenever some netizens expressed their willingness to donate to her, she always politely declined: "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need any help, I just want to earn money with my own hands and save my lover."
This quality of innocence and kindness makes her image even taller in the minds of netizens.
"Sister Fang Fang, your story is too difficult, I really want to lend a hand!"
"Seeing you, I once again strengthened my belief in love and struggle!"
Countless enthusiastic netizens who supported Zhang Fangfang left messages in the comment area, expressing their financial assistance and moral support for her, intending to help resolve her plight in their own way.
However, what Zhang Fangfang faced was only the care and deep sympathy of netizens' selfless dedication.
In this endless wave of blessings, her road to Internet celebrity is gradually on the right track, and she has seen success within reach. However, just as Zhang Fangfang's popularity climbed to the peak, the truth of the scam was exposed due to an unintentional question.
One day, an enthusiastic fan who paid attention to Zhang Fangfang's work asked questions: "Sister Fang Fang, how much cement do you need to carry every day?" It looks like it's too hard! Without thinking too much, Zhang Fangfang replied frankly: "I need to move 96 tons of cement every day to make as much money as possible."
However, it was this unintentional remark that made those netizens who had always been skeptical unable to remain silent anymore. Anyone in the industry knows that the 96-ton workload is huge, and even if it is transported by truck, more than 10 vehicles need to be used to travel back and forth.
How could a thin woman have such an amazing ability to work? This undoubtedly raises suspicions.
As doubts continue to emerge, more puzzling mysteries also surface: Zhang Fangfang's hands are not calloused, and his skin is still smooth and delicate; Despite working in harsh conditions for a long time, her hairstyle was always in order; In the video, when she wipes the dirt off her face, the makeup is still impeccably exquisite...... All the suspicions are interconnected, revealing that she is not as hard as the video shows.
Shockingly, during a live interaction, Zhang Fangfang was inadvertently exposed by one of his fans. At that time, the fan said: "Sister Fang Fang has made it clear that she doesn't need gifts, so we won't give her any more gifts."
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Fangfang expelled this loyal supporter from the live broadcast room for no reason, which undoubtedly raised deep questions about her motives.
Looking at the above details, Zhang Fangfang obviously deliberately concealed the truth, and she did not live as difficult as depicted in the video. It is important to know that the real poor will never refuse help from others, so her behavior is all the more confusing.
More netizens dug deep and investigated, and were surprised to find that Zhang Fangfang's daily dressing taste is particularly exquisite and elegant, and the living environment is also extraordinary, which is in stark contrast to the poor image shown in those videos, which makes people doubt his true situation.
All of a sudden, the voices of doubts and negations on the Internet came and went.
In the face of many doubts being exposed one by one, as well as the calls of the majority of netizens who insisted on her to clarify the truth in person, Zhang Fangfang could no longer continue to quibble, and could only reluctantly admit that he had indeed fabricated a series of lies.
Immediately afterwards, the police also quickly intervened to carry out an in-depth investigation, and finally made the ins and outs of the entire incident public, so that the truth was revealed to the world.
It turned out that Zhang Fangfang's husband did not suffer from a terminal illness, but only an ordinary lung infection, and recovered quickly after treatment. And she didn't really do the heavy cement work on the construction site herself, but worked with the team to orchestrate the whole script, which was an elaborate scam from start to finish.
They cleverly took advantage of the sympathy of the majority of netizens, hyped up Zhang Fangfang's so-called "tragic experience", and created a touching image of a person who struggled for survival, but the real purpose behind it was to obtain improper benefits.
In front of the camera, she is a low-level hero who fights for survival; However, when the cameras turn off, her life takes on a completely different look. This deceptive behavior undoubtedly angered countless netizens, who accused her of moral depravity and outrage.
