Recently, the rumors of Gao Yalin's relationship with a young woman born in 98 were like a gust of wind suddenly blowing, stirring the calm of the water.
The media and netizens seemed to have opened the floodgates of gossip, and all kinds of speculations and comments poured in for a while.
As the saying goes, "How can an idler have nothing to do?" After having a stage to use their imagination, the public seems to think that there must be a surging romantic plot hidden in the story between Gao Yalin, a serious gentleman on the surface, and a young girl.
As a result, all kinds of speculations on the Internet are like lively embroidery needles, one embroidered another, and everyone wants to piece together a complete emotional picture.
But then again, "It is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage", the wisdom of the proverb tells us that everyone's private life is sacrosanct.
In this wave of craze, Gao Yalin and the woman are like two isolated islands standing still in the storm.
Gao Yalin, through his studio, resolutely issued a statement, clarifying all the relationships, and claiming that the two were ordinary friends and had not crossed the boundary of friendship at all.
The young woman was not far behind, she spoke out on her personal social platform to support Gao Yalin's statement, there was neither a "straw of love" nor a "wild wave of money", and the previous transfer was just a normal exchange between friends.
As the saying goes, "Real gold is not afraid of fire", in the fire of this scandal, the two protagonists seem to be the real gold that can stand the test, out of pure friendship and help.
However, this reversal not only surprised netizens with good deeds, but also dispelled the clouds of those onlookers.
Relieved netizens, after "Hedong Lion Roar", also felt that they had walked into a misunderstanding, "picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelon", and wasted time on rumors that were not supported by facts.
This turmoil does reflect one aspect of today's social media, that is, "too many words must be lost".
The ease of publishing media reports without substantiation is often misleading to the public and violates the privacy rights of the parties.
The experts also reminded us that the media should follow the principles of objectivity, truthfulness and impartiality in reporting and editing, and netizens should also think rationally and not be gullible and spread unverified information.
In addition, we need to think about how to properly handle personal privacy and the public's right to know under the tide of social media.
This conundrum is a real wrestling mind, especially in the age of the Internet.
Everyone has the right to protect their privacy, even public figures who grew up in the spotlight have the right to draw a clear line about their private lives.
