Dong Qing, the former first sister of CCTV, disappeared from public view because of her husband Mi Chunlei's debt turmoil.
Two years later, she returned to the stage in a new way to amaze. What has she experienced in the past two years?
And how did you get back on your feet? Let's unveil this mysterious time together.
From the aura to the center of the storm
Do you still remember that radiant Dong Qing? She has hosted the Spring Festival Gala 13 times, conquered the audience with high-quality programs such as "Reader", and became a well-deserved CCTV sister.
However, a sudden turmoil in 2022 plunged her life into a trough.
That year, Dong Qing's husband Mi Chunlei was exposed to a debt of 3 billion, and the three companies were forced to pay 719 million yuan.
For a time, public opinion was in an uproar. Some people ridiculed Dong Qing for "shattering the dream of a billionaire on the beach", and some people speculated that she would become the "second Liu Tao" and was selling her house to pay off her debts.
In the face of disturbing speculation, Dong Qing chose to remain silent.
She gradually faded out of the public eye, and it was difficult to see her on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. For a while, all kinds of rumors about her were rampant.
Two years of mysterious disappearance: regrouping or rejecting?
Dong Qing's sudden disappearance has sparked many speculations.
Some people say that she is running around to pay off debts for her husband, and some people speculate that she has chosen to quit the entertainment industry. But what is the truth?
According to people familiar with the matter, in the past two years, Dong Qing has not been in a desperate situation as speculated by the outside world.
Instead, she chose to step away from the hustle and bustle for a while and focus on self-improvement and family life.
"Dong Qing has always been a very wise woman," said one insider, "and she knows how to find opportunities in the face of adversity."
In the past two years, she has not only learned new skills, but also spent more time with her family, especially her son. "
Stunning Comeback: Returning to the stage with a new look
Just when people thought that Dong Qing might fade out of the public eye, she gave the best answer with practical actions.
Recently, some netizens took photos of Dong Qing presiding over work, which attracted widespread attention.
It is reported that Dong Qing has taken over three important tasks:
Host of "2024 Chinese Film and Television Night".
Stage director, lighting design and stage design for the Shanghai children's musical Matilda
Host of the Shenzhen Hospital Conference
It can be seen from the exposed pictures that Dong Qing, who returned to the stage after two years, is still elegant and generous, showing professionalism in his gestures.
With short hair and capable eyes, he seems to be announcing to the world: I, Dong Qing, am back!
The road of transformation: from a CCTV sister to an all-rounder
Attentive viewers will find that Dong Qing, who has made a comeback this time, seems to be a little different.
In addition to hosting work, she is also involved in stage directing, lighting design and other fields.
This kind of diversified attempt shows Dong Qing's strong learning ability and adaptability.
"Dong Qing has always had a strong curiosity and desire to learn," said a colleague who has worked with her, "and in the two years since her 'disappearance', she has actually been enriching herself and learning new skills." This attitude of continuous improvement is really admirable. "
Family life: Regain mother's love and repair the parent-child relationship
While starting anew in his career, Dong Qing did not neglect family life.
It is reported that in the past, in order to work, she had to leave her son in Shanghai to be taken care of by her parents, resulting in a somewhat estranged relationship between mother and son.
And the two-year "rest period" has given her more time to spend with her children.
"Now Dong Qing seems to have found a balance between career and family," a friend who knows her well revealed, "and her relationship with her son has become more intimate." This change may be an unexpected gain brought about by this 'turmoil'. "
Looking ahead: Reinventing your personal brand
Although Dong Qing has returned to the stage, her situation is no longer the same as before. With the constant emergence of new people and the impact of her husband's incident, it is not easy for her to regain the center stage.
But as an industry insider said, "Dong Qing's biggest advantage is her learning ability and adaptability."
She's now venturing into more areas, but she's actually reinventing her personal brand.
In the future, Dong Qing is likely to continue to shine as an all-round artist. "
Two years of silence in exchange for a more mature and diversified Dong Qing.
From a CCTV sister to a stage director, from a full-time host to a working woman who balances family and career, Dong Qing has proved with practical actions: even if you encounter setbacks, as long as you continue to learn and have the courage to try, you will definitely be able to find your own path of rebirth.
And Dong Qing's story may also give some inspiration to everyone who is struggling in the trough of life: when the storm comes, you might as well take a step back for a while and calm down to enrich yourself.
Because, every time I fall, I want to get back up better.
