On the evening of October 21, the domestic authorities exposed a big "melon", and the pianist Li Yundi, who has the reputation of "the prince of the piano", was arrested for prostitution! The news spread across the Internet in an instant. Different from people's previous hilarious mentality, while feeling surprised, many people also sighed for it, how could the genius pianist of the past fall off the altar in such an unbearable way? After all, turning over Li Yundi's life history, it is not too much to say that it is "studded with gold edges".
In 2000, at the age of 18, Li Yundi won the first place in the 14th Chopin International Piano Competition as a Chinese player, he was the first Chinese to win the first place in the Chopin International Piano Competition, and he was the youngest gold medalist in the history of the competition. You know, this competition, which began in 1927, has extraordinary gold content, it is the top of the world in the field of piano, and the players who can reach the final round are all well-known people in the world. For the Chinese music and art circles, this event is of great significance, and Li Yundi once became a person who is extremely respected at home and abroad.
For many years, Li Yundi, who bears the name of a genius artist, has always been an infinite scenery. He not only appeared on CCTV Spring Festival Gala five times, but also won countless honorary titles such as "China's Top Ten Young Leaders", "National May Fourth Youth Ambassador", "Guangzhou Image Ambassador" and so on. He has performed in several world-class music venues and was the first Chinese pianist to be selected as a celebrity wax figure by Madame Tussauds.
In short, from "well-known artists" to "legal coffee", Li Yundi's "star path" can be described as full of ups and downs. What makes people wonder how to feel is that on the same day that Li Yundi fell, canadian pianist Liu Xiaoyu won the first place in the 18th Chopin International Piano Competition, becoming the second Chinese in history to receive this honor...
At present, Li Yundi's variety shows have been removed or deleted, and the honorary title certification of his personal social accounts has disappeared, as if it is the treatment of inferior artists. In addition, the CCTV network has publicly announced that this is "self-inflicted sins cannot be lived." It can be said that he has completely ruined his future due to the problem of style.
Li Yundi's story has also sounded an alarm bell for the literary and art circles. As a public figure, while enjoying the love and pursuit of the public, you should take the lead in abiding by discipline and law. Once the bottom line of the law is reached, there is no room for back. In fact, in addition to the Chinese-speaking circle, there are also many foreign celebrities who have "violated the law" due to "illegal betrayal" such as drug infection, prostitution or drunk driving, resulting in image setbacks and their careers plummeting.
Presumably, many people are no stranger to Justin Bieber, he has some similarities with Li Yundi, also has a high degree of achievement in music, and became famous at a young age, winning the love of countless fans around the world. However, in 2014, he was exposed to a drug scandal, and various negative news followed, not only discredited, but also labeled as depraved, and his career was also greatly damaged.
In addition, Japan and South Korea are even more lenient in dealing with bad artists. Not only will the artists be punished, but their agents or companies will also be implicated. Zhu Zhixun, who was once popular because of "Palace", was banned for drug use, and now he has "no one to investigate". Noriko Sakai, a generation of "jade women in charge" who swept Asia, was also imprisoned for being contaminated with drugs, and after being released from prison, she was boycotted by the audience, and various entertainment companies "avoided it like a snake and scorpion", and the end was miserable.
In short, no matter in which country, public figures rely on the people's love for them to gain fame and fortune. In the spotlight of society, they should manage their desires and conduct better, rather than allowing themselves to become the "melon" that netizens talk about.
