Late at night on May 15, star Li Xirui and her boyfriend Zhang Teng had an unpleasant conflict with the substitute driver on the street. The cause of the incident seems to be due to some misunderstandings and mismanagement of emotions, and the result is not only a verbal dispute, but even the slippers flew out.
The incident happened on the streets of Beijing in a sleepless night, and the streets were supposed to be quiet in the early morning, but a "reality show" was unexpectedly staged. According to eyewitnesses and video footage, Li Xirui and Zhang Teng appeared to have had a verbal unpleasant encounter with the driver in the substitute vehicle.
The trigger for the conflict may be an argument over the route to be driven. The substitute driver drove according to the route recommended by the navigation, but Zhang Teng, who was drunk, insisted on another route that he thought was faster. This drunken stubbornness and the driver's professional insistence quickly went off the rails.
Li Xirui tried to persuade at first, but as the argument heated up, she was also emotionally driven, and finally participated in the dispute by waving her slippers. Witnesses said the entire altercation lasted more than 10 minutes, and the situation was not brought under control until the police arrived.
Li Xirui, an actress who has played important roles in many TV series, is actually known for being low-key in the circle. The reality show "Riding the Wind 2024" she participated in brought her back into the public eye again, because this late-night street dispute made her image greatly reduced.
Zhang Teng, as a new student, participated in the talent show, although he is not very famous, but this incident also made his name known to more people.
Alcohol tends to amplify a person's mood. In such a situation, even a small dispute can quickly escalate into a major conflict. This can cause unnecessary headaches for the person concerned and is more likely to have a long-term impact on their career.
The police intervention calmed the clashes at the scene, but for Li Xirui and Zhang Teng, the aftermath of the incident may not end so quickly. They need to be held accountable for their actions and perhaps need a public apology to win back the public's favor.
This incident has provided the public with a vivid lesson on how to control emotions in public. Hopefully, all people, especially those living in the spotlight, can learn something from this and deal with sudden public events in a more mature and rational way.
