6. Reflection and summary: Jet Li's wise words have been verified
As Mr. Jet Li, an internationally renowned movie star, said: "As an artist, it is inevitable to be criticized and blamed, but when it comes to issues involving the bottom line of morality, I resolutely do not participate in it, and I will never easily change my position because of others' comments or criticisms, which is the basic principle of my life."
Looking back on Gong Xue's life course, those malicious rumors undoubtedly brought her great harm. She didn't have to endure these groundless criticisms and slanders, let alone those baseless gossip.
However, after all, with her broad mind and endless courage, she overcame the tricks of fate, moved forward bravely, and returned to the pinnacle of art, which perfectly confirmed Jet Li's wise words.
It is wisest for everyone to keep a clear head at all times, not to be distracted by rumors, and to insist on independent thinking. Gong Xue, with her life's practice, vividly interprets this truth, and at the same time shows the world the image of a tenacious and unyielding artist.
