Recently, a negative news about actor Li Yapeng has sparked heated discussions. A netizen who claimed to have known Li Yapeng for 24 years posted on social platforms, pointing out that Li Yapeng was in arrears of wages, did not pay social security to employees, and was selectively blind when it came to money issues.
According to the netizen, he encouraged and helped Li Yapeng open a short video account, and also helped him find a team to shoot and edit video content for free. However, when this account began to try to sell goods live and make money, Li Yapeng replaced the original team, which can be described as "eating and wiping clean".
What is interesting is that not long ago, Li Yapeng cried until he collapsed in a live broadcast, complaining to the audience that he had repaid his debts for more than ten years, his economic situation was not good, and he had even eaten takeout for a week. This wave of operations is obviously to win sympathy and create an image of "poor and miserable" for himself.
As a former first-line star, Li Yapeng's words and deeds are really shocking. It is against the spirit of the contract to be in arrears of wages and not to repay debts, not to mention that he still cried and sympathized with the poor in the live broadcast, but turned a blind eye to the rights and interests of employees, which is really self-contradictory.
The netizen who broke the news said that he and Li Yapeng have intersected for many years and know him very well, and even threatened to write a series of articles to expose Li Yapeng's true face. This incident undoubtedly pushed Li Yapeng to the forefront of public opinion.
Similar incidents are not uncommon in the entertainment industry, and some celebrities' practices in terms of money and favors are often controversial. They show a positive and glamorous image in front of the camera, but in private, some despicable scandals often break out. We should not blindly condemn these acts, but also look at them rationally.
Whether it is a celebrity or an ordinary person, honesty and trustworthiness are the basic principles of life. It is contrary to morality and law to pay wages and debts in arrears, let alone pretend to be poor and sympathetic? We call on those celebrities with moral deficits to rein in the precipice and get back on track as soon as possible, so as not to destroy their image and laugh at their generosity. At the same time, we must also create a healthy environment to keep a moderate distance from celebrities, not to over-pursue them, but to look at their words and deeds rationally and distinguish between right and wrong.
