Zhu Jun, an ordinary person who grew up in a poor family and endured all the hardships of life, later stepped onto the CCTV stage step by step with his love and persistence for the clarinet and became a well-known first-line host. He has worked in CCTV for 19 years and has hosted countless large-scale programs, including several Spring Festival Galas, and his status as "CCTV's first brother" is unquestionable.
Just when Zhu's military career was at its peak, a sudden "X harassment door" completely dragged him off the altar, which hit him hard, and his career almost collapsed.
01
It all started in 2014. That year, Zhu Jun was in the year of fighting, his career was booming, and while he was honored, he gained fame and fortune. Unexpectedly, a female intern named "Xianzi" posted on Moments, accusing Zhu Jun of harassing her in the dressing room for more than 40 minutes.
For a while, this once-glorious front-line host became a street rat who "everyone shouted and beaten", and the pressure of public opinion was like a thousand pounds, making him loveless. In the end, when CCTV gradually lost trust, Zhu Jun had to leave his job temporarily.
After leaving, Zhu Jun seemed to have been completely damaged. He didn't understand why he had fallen to such a point, and everything seemed to catch him off guard. What made him even more sad was that all the things he had worked so hard to obtain had come to naught overnight.
At first, Zhu Jun tried to get justice through legal means, and he took Xianzi to court, accusing her of defamation and intent on ruining his reputation at CCTV. However, what people didn't expect was that in the next three years, Xianzi repeatedly delayed the court session and created public opinion pressure. This undoubtedly made Zhu Jun, an already decadent man, even worse.
It wasn't until 2021 that Zhu Jun finally won the first trial, and the court ruled that the evidence provided by Xianzi was seriously flawed and insufficient to prove his accusations. And in the following August 2022, Zhu Jun once again won the second trial, completely washing away the stigma of being harassed by X.
But despite the fact that he finally proved his innocence through legal means, Zhu Jun's reputation has been difficult to rebuild. What's even more regrettable is that his 19-year hosting career at CCTV has suffered great losses and delays.
It was not until the end of December 2022 that Zhu Jun was finally reactivated by CCTV, but he was over the age of six, and his mental and physical strength were not as good as before. What's even more regrettable is that judging from the work alone, Zhu Jun is now just a producer of an unpopular column, and he can no longer recover the glory of the year.

Of course, some people may think that Zhu Jun is fortunate to be able to return to CCTV, but in fact, the trauma and inner struggle he suffered can never be understood by outsiders. Many years later, this man, who has fallen to the bottom of his life several times, is still choked up in an interview.
Talking about this "string incident" that made him suffer a lot, Zhu Jun said that the most unrelieved thing is, why did he get such a fate after so many years of frank life and hard work? What he couldn't understand even more was why anyone would hurt themselves so much. Because until the end, Zhu Jun did not figure out what the real motive of "Xianzi" to accuse him was.
was once regarded as the "mastermind behind the scenes" by the outside world, the "victim" Yan Weiwen, who claimed to have seen the whole process of Zhu Jun's harassment of Xianzi and wrote a long complaint as a "party". However, in the long legal entanglement, Yan Weiwen himself admitted that the "testimony" at that time was completely impulsive and misjudgment.
This has also caused more netizens to speculate and question that there may be some more complex interests or power games behind the "strings", but these are just unconfirmed gossip.
It is undeniable that, as Zhu Jun himself said, for Zhu Jun, a single mother who worked hard to raise her child, his greatest sorrow is probably the unfair treatment of being framed and slandered.

In addition to Zhu Jun, he is far from the only artist who has suffered from "public opinion violence". Once upon a time, the host Tu Lei was also in a deep crisis of public opinion due to trumped-up sexual assault allegations, and the truth was finally clarified after losing his voice and being hopeless.
It can be seen that this kind of practice of spreading rumors and creating public opinion through the Internet, and then trying to achieve a certain goal, is not unique in today's Internet era with highly developed information. In the face of such a reality, every ordinary netizen should maintain a high degree of rationality and independent judgment, and jointly create a more civilized and orderly public opinion environment that pays attention to facts and evidence.
All the bitterness, tribulations and unfair treatment that Zhu Jun has experienced have given us a deeper understanding of the profession of artists. While they enjoy a status of honor, they often have to bear an extraordinary price. We should look at their growth process with a more tolerant and understanding attitude, rather than easily attacking them personally or prevaricating.
Looking back on Zhu Jun's life, we will find that he has actually been trying to realize a dream, that is, to let the public feel the charm of quyi through his hosting. Having been poor since he was a child, his love for music and art has become the biggest driving force for him to move forward.
After entering the army, Zhu Jun learned to play with the clarinet and gradually mastered some basic skills. After retiring from the army, he resolutely chose to join the Quyi Troupe and started a new career. Later, when he was transferred to the TV station, he once again seized the great opportunity in his life.
Despite several setbacks during the period, Zhu Jun never gave up his dream. He used his solid music skills and superb hosting skills to win the love of the audience. Every move reflects his enthusiasm for traditional culture.
For Zhu Jun, this was indeed a huge blow, and even exhausted him physically and mentally for a time. But even in this darkest moment, he still did not give up on himself and faith. It is this dedication to art that allows him to finally regain his phoenix nirvana and stand on a new stage of life.

After returning to CCTV at the end of 2022, Zhu Jun's life began to gradually calm down. Although he is now just an obscure behind-the-scenes worker, he is still interpreting his insistence on art in his own way. Looking at a group of young people giggling in front of the camera, he would occasionally sigh that he was so young and restless back then, full of great yearning for the future.
Today, Zhu Jun is an old man in the sixtieth year, and he uses his own personal experience to interpret the tension between dreams, art and reality. He knows very well that it is not easy to be a serious art worker, and it needs to pay a price that ordinary people can hardly imagine. But he remained optimistic and never lost hope in life.
Zhu Jun's life can be called an inspirational legend. It interprets the valuable quality of ordinary people who can eventually climb the peak of life through unremitting efforts; At the same time, it also reflects the innocence and persistence that art seekers need to have. More importantly, Zhu Jun was not hurt in the ups and downs, and his personality was distorted after all, and he retained his noble personality strength.
In the face of slander and injustice, Zhu Jun once sighed: I have lived to learn all the time, and I finally understand what it means to "sometimes make no difference between right and wrong". His words are not only tolerance and understanding of others, but also a summary of his own ups and downs in life. A man who has fallen to the bottom several times has finally used his character and willpower to soar again.
This kind of tenacious and unyielding spirit of self-improvement is the greatest wealth that Zhu Jun has experienced through ups and downs and finally achieved an extraordinary life. It not only inspires those who come after on the road of art, but also will surely leave strength and courage to every ordinary person who pursues his dreams.
