On June 10, 1977, Tu Lei came to the world and became a member of an ordinary and extraordinary family in Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province.
Although he was filled with joy at becoming a new father, his wife's postpartum frail body and the constant pressure of life left him in deep worry and unease.
This determined, brave and upright father is full of expectations for his child, hoping that he can grow up healthy and happy and become a bright and upright person. Therefore, he named his son "Tu Lei".
Tu Lei has never seen his mother stand up and walk since he was conscious, she always lies quietly on the bed. However, in order not to let her young mind be affected by the torture of the disease, Tu Lei's mother behaved extremely strong in front of her son, and would not shout even if she endured great pain.
His father worked hard outside the home, and when he returned home, he had to take care of the mother and son, and the burden of life made him tired, and his temper began to become irritable, and sometimes he would even vent his anger on his mother, causing conflicts between them often over trivial matters.
The relatives and friends around him saw that Tu Lei's father was young and had a long way to go in the future, and a paralyzed wife in bed would undoubtedly bring him endless trouble, so they persuaded him that if he felt that he could not continue with his wife, it was better to consider divorce.
However, Tu Lei's father is a responsible and responsible man, and abandoning his wife and children is not his code of conduct. Therefore, he politely rejected the kindness of his friends.
As the saying goes, "the children of the poor are in charge early". Tu Lei, who grew up in such an environment, knows the hardships of life, so he studies hard in school, takes the initiative to take on housework when he comes home from school, keeps the house in order every day, and even helps his parents wash clothes and cook.
After graduating from high school, Tu Lei cherished the dream of becoming a successful businessman and quit his stable job at the bank without hesitation. In December 2000, he decisively devoted himself to the business of electronic products such as Internet cafes and touch screens.
At the time of the Internet industry, Tu Lei keenly seized this rare opportunity, with excellent wisdom and courage, the rapid rise, only one year, harvested up to 500,000 yuan of huge wealth, for a young man who set foot in the business battlefield for the first time, this is undoubtedly an immeasurable success!
After some deliberation and deep reflection, Tu Lei decided to regroup and set his sights on the vibrant Changsha. He packed his bags and embarked on the journey to Changsha, where he found a new career.
With his outstanding work ability and professionalism, Tu Lei was promoted to secretary to the president in just two years. In addition to his busy work, he is always willing to solve problems for his colleagues and share his emotional wisdom.
This unique perspective and insight inspired him to try his hand at hosting an emotional show.
In 2005, Tu Lei finally realized his dream and successfully joined Changsha People's Radio Station as an emotional program host. Although the income is not very good, it is the beginning of a new chapter in his life.
With his unique hosting style and sharp and straightforward words, Tu Lei quickly rose to prominence in the field of broadcasting, winning widespread attention and high popularity. Major TV stations have extended olive branches to him and sincerely invited him to be the host of the program.
In 2010, he was invited to be an observer for Qinghai Satellite TV's talk show "Quack Popcorn", in which he mercilessly criticized the controversial writer Han Han at the time for being "just a mad dog with only connotation", this bold remark caused an uproar, the audience applauded it, and Tu Lei became famous overnight.
In 2011, Tu Lei's popularity continued to rise, and he received an invitation to the news program "Nine and a Half", with an annual salary of up to 500,000 yuan. In the face of such a generous treatment, Tu Lei confidently promised that he would go all out and fully demonstrate his self-worth.
Since then, similar invitations have poured in. In 2012, he made a glorious appearance on Jiangxi Satellite TV's "Deep Observation"; In 2013, he wore many hats, successively serving as the host of "You Belong", the emotional guest of "Love Lianliankan" and the host of "Emotional Referee".
It is worth mentioning that in 2005, when Tu Lei just stepped into the hosting industry, Xiao Maruko, a female college student 9 years younger than him, was attracted by his unique charm and became his loyal fan.
At that time, Tu Lei's income was only 400 yuan! However, the clever and witty Maruko did not despise him because of this, but was full of confidence and expectation in him, knowing that he was full of unlimited potential and talent, and was destined to become the love and dependence of his life.
After several years of long-distance love, finally at this important moment in 2009, they entered the palace of marriage hand in hand, opening a beautiful new chapter belonging to the two of them In the days that followed, Tu Lei has consistently played the role of a conscientious and good husband, and the deep friendship between his wife has never changed, and he has truly achieved the perfect balance between career and family.
However, while his reputation and status are increasing, Tu Lei's words and deeds have gradually attracted public attention and controversy. In well-known variety shows such as "Love Defense" and "You Must Belong", his rude behavior towards guests has sparked widespread discussion and criticism many times.
For example, when faced with a job seeker from Peking University, Tu Lei not only showed disdain, but also belittled the other party's enthusiasm for work, and even directly asked the scene to turn off the lights, expelling him from the field, and even more excessively, when facing a 53-year-old job-seeking uncle, Tu Lei unabashedly humiliated him and said that "the elderly should maintain dignity and decency" Such an arrogant gesture is really dissatisfying.
What is even more shocking is that in August 2019, a video of Tu Lei stepping on his seat on an airplane, completely ignoring public etiquette, went viral on the Internet. This figure, who was once known as an "emotional mentor", is so self-indulgent and has no sense of public morality, which is undoubtedly a serious challenge to the bottom line of morality.
In the face of the overwhelming accusations and abuse from netizens, although Tu Lei issued an apology statement, it is obvious that his reputation cannot be restored.
In addition, the program hosted by Tu Lei has also been questioned and accused of fraud. A male guest named Ye Hao actually appeared in different identities in the two programs "Love Defense" and "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", which can't help but make people wonder if he is the "childcare" of the show and is suspected of fraud.
After experiencing these turmoil, the image of Tu Lei, who was once respected as "China's chief emotional mentor", completely collapsed. In April 2020, he posted an open letter on his personal social media, announcing that he was officially retiring from "Love Defense", which he had been hosting for a long time, and instead devoted himself to family life.
Although in this announcement, he sincerely expressed his gratitude to all those who supported him, in reality, it was also an attempt to salvage his reputation and find a new start in life.
It is worth mentioning that after leaving "Love Defense", Tu Lei chose to transform into an e-commerce live broadcast expert, hoping to continue to exert his talents and provide high-quality goods and services for consumers through this new field.
However, what is surprising is that soon, the majority of netizens were surprised to find that Tu Lei did not "quit" in the real sense, but chose to march into a new field and devote himself to the emerging industry of live broadcasting.
It is reported that when some netizens coincidentally met him in a live broadcast, they saw that the former "emotional mentor" had fallen into the live broadcast room to promote goods, and even did not hesitate to "beg" fans to give rewards, which greatly reduced his image What is even more disappointing is that as a public figure who was once known as a "moral model", Tu Lei vigorously promoted foreign brands such as Apple mobile phones in the live broadcast room, and turned a blind eye to the current suppression of mainland brands, so he was questioned and accused of forgetting his original intention. Only in pursuit of profits.
Despite facing many controversies, the number of fans in Tu Lei's live broadcast room has approached a staggering 50 million. Just imagine, if every fan can be generous and show their support with just a reward of one yuan, then Tu Lei will easily get an income of up to 50 million yuan! This undoubtedly fully demonstrates the huge profit margins that the live streaming industry can bring compared with traditional program hosting.
However, some fans also reported that they bought three no-products with worrying quality in Tu Lei's live broadcast room, which made them unguarded However, compared with the salary of the host in the past, Tu Lei's current living standard is undoubtedly far more than that of ordinary people, which can be said to be a successful transformation from an "emotional mentor" to a "man who sells goods and makes money".
Looking back on Tu Lei's life journey, he has experienced a bumpy childhood, a tortuous youth, a brilliant career peak, a notorious landslide, and a new starting point for turning to live broadcasting.
Each stage bears witness to his unique personality traits and unwavering pursuitIn his childhood, he witnessed his mother's long-term illness and his father's hard work in running the house, so he was determined to use his own efforts to improve the family's situation.
However, unfortunately, with the continuous rise of his reputation, Tu Lei began to become empty-eyed, and his arrogant and rude behavior in the show attracted the anger of everyone. What's more serious is that his program itself was also accused of fraud, and the image of the former "emotional mentor" was shattered, and he finally had no choice but to announce his retirement from the hosting world.
Now, Tu Lei has moved to the field of live broadcasting, although he has moved away from the glory of the past, he has also gained a lot of wealth, and his quality of life far exceeds that of ordinary people, which can be called a "winner in life".
However, we hope that he can cherish everything he has now, remember the original intention and moral bottom line of being a human being, and not just pursue financial interests.
After all, family is the most solid backing in his life, and the happiness of his wife and daughter is his greatest wealth.
