<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > preface</h1>
The development of the Internet has made this era an era of information explosion, every day we can receive information from all over the world on the Internet, some of which are quickly forgotten in a flash, and some of which attract collective attention and become the object of collective attention at a certain time.
Time is an illusory concept, and if you are asked what you are doing in a certain month of a certain year, you may not be able to answer, because the memory has long been pasted into a pot of porridge.
But if you talk to you about the event that caused the information explosion at a certain time, there is a high probability that you will remember, such as an incident in Chen Guanxi's 08 year, I believe that few people will remember the wrong year.
This is the power of collective memory, when something gets attention to the collective memory, then the event will remain in our minds almost forever, because the media will not miss every opportunity to make a profit, and events like this kind of collective memory will still be discussed no matter how many times they are brought up.
If someone asks you what happened in 2010, you may not be able to remember anything, but if someone talks to you about Sharp Brother, I believe most people will say, "Oh! Sharp brother! The beggar prince who is famous for his mash-ups in 2010".
How red was The Sharp Brother at that time, even in the underdeveloped countryside of the Internet, there was a legend of the Sharp Brother.
How did Brother Sharp become popular, and did he end his wandering career after becoming popular? How is he doing now? Let's take a look back.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the birth of Sharp Brother</h1>
Now the network platform is basically monopolized by the three giants, Weibo, a certain sound, a certain knowledge has become a place where netizens gathered, but as early as 2010, the hottest network platform is Tianya and Tieba, the origin of many explosive information is Tianya, "human flesh search" was also born.
On February 23, 2010, a forum appeared in a post - "Second Kill Uchi Ultimate Gorgeous First Ultimate Ultimate Passerby Handsome Guy!" Handsome enough to stab your dog's eyes! This article is a photographer who inadvertently photographed a homeless man with a messy hair, a cigarette in his mouth, and a rather sparse look on the street, this homeless man did not wear clothes according to the collocation style of ordinary people, but wore several seemingly unsuitable clothes on his body, but unexpectedly dressed like a catwalk model.
The article and the photo were frantically forwarded on the Internet, causing a collective Internet carnival, and the tramp was also called "beggar prince" and "sharp brother".
Speaking of nostalgia for the previous era, the information on Tianya is much more comprehensive than the information on any network platform now, and many hot spots are ordinary people, unlike now Weibo is full of celebrity gossip, and celebrities can chew as much as they eat.
Brother Sharp was originally just a poor tramp, but after the spread of Tianya, he suddenly became an Internet celebrity, and the whole network was looking for this person.
Powerful networks make everyone a disseminator and receiver of information, and as long as they can get enough attention on the network, no matter where you are, you can be found. And Brother Sharp is through the help of netizens to find the relatives who have lost contact.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the power of the network helped Brother Sharp find his family</h1>
After seeing articles and photos about Brother Sharp on the Internet, a student xu who was studying at a university in Zhejiang Province found that Brother Sharp looked very similar to the brother of his neighbor in his hometown, so he told his father about it.
This neighbor is Cheng Guosheng, who has an older brother Cheng Guorong who has been out to work and has lost contact with his family for many years.
Xu's father showed the photos on the Internet to Cheng Guosheng and found that it was really his brother, so Cheng Guosheng took his elderly mother all the way to Ningbo.
At this time, with the help of netizens, Brother Sharp has been sent to Ningbo Psychiatric Hospital, and when Cheng Guosheng and his mother rushed to the hospital, they wrote brother's name on the paper: Cheng Guorong.
According to information provided by Cheng Guosheng, Cheng Guorong was born on October 10, 1976 in Poyang, Shangrao, Jiangxi Province, Cheng Guorong's family was poor and gave birth to two sons, in order to support his family, he followed his compatriots to Ningbo in 2000 to work.
In the first two years, Cheng Guorong would still send money to his family, but he has not heard from him since 2003.
The family thought that Cheng Guorong had an accident outside, and there was no way to find it because of economic reasons, but this time netizens did not intend to insert willows to reunite the family.
Cheng Guorong's wife still took two children at home after his disappearance, but the poor man's house leaked and rained overnight, and in June 2009, Brother Sharp's wife and her parents went out, but accidentally died in a car accident.
Seeing that Brother Sharp's mental condition was not stable, Cheng Guosheng and his mother did not dare to tell him about this matter, but later Brother Sharp asked about the situation at home, and the two finally told the truth.
Brother Sharp, who had been treated in the hospital, had improved mentally, and although he spoke very quietly and was afraid of contact with strangers, he was only sad that he did not relapse after hearing the news of his wife's death.
Cheng Guosheng and his mother saw that Brother Sharp was already able to withstand the pressure, so Zhang Luo wanted to take him home. However, the attending doctor of "Sharp Brother" said that it is best to be hospitalized for observation for half a month, because Brother Sharp's heart is still very resistant to contact with the outside world, and it is likely that he will be stimulated and relapse if he is discharged from the hospital at this time.
However, Cheng Guosheng and his mother rushed from their hometown thousands of miles, not only did they spend all their money, but the family's farm work could not be taken care of, and they had to spend an extra day of accommodation in Ningbo, and they really couldn't afford it.
And they all thought that Brother Sharp's return to his familiar hometown might be more conducive to the recovery of the disease, so they took Brother Sharp back to his hometown despite the doctor's advice.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the economy remains tight after becoming an influencer</h1>
Brother Sharp found his family from the original homeless homeless man through the help of netizens, and also recovered his sanity in the hospital, so Brother Sharp is very grateful to everyone, he often says a sentence is "I want to be grateful, I want to thank everyone."
According to Brother Sharp's uncle, although he got a lot of charity money with the help of netizens, it has been spent almost everything to pay for the hospital, and there are two children to raise in the family, and the family of the younger brother Cheng Guosheng is not rich, and even owes money to others, and there is no way to help him.
But in such a situation, Brother Sharp also donated 600 yuan to the victims of the southwest disaster area, 600 yuan may not be considered money in the eyes of many people, but for a poor person like Brother Sharp, it may be half a year's expense, and he is already very difficult but still wants to help others, which is enough to see how kind Brother Sharp is.
However, this kindness has aroused many people's doubts, some people say that he is better off not donating this money, and some people say that he is speculating.
It's a strange world, and powerful people who casually touch a puppy on the side of the road may be praised as "good and loving!" Sure enough, people have money for no reason" and so on, and the poor peasants who are truly caring take out their small savings to help others but are ridiculed and hyped.
What else can I speculate about a poor family with mental illness?
Brother Sharp was too kind in his heart to dare to tell his family that he could not make money, and he experienced an unknown amount of heartache before becoming a mentally disturbed tramp.
Such a poor person, after regaining his sanity, often hangs on his lips a sentence is "I want to be grateful, I want to thank everyone", the tribulations of life did not make him lose the goodness of his heart, in contrast, his heart is more noble than too many people.
Perhaps those who are mentally disturbed are people with good hearts, as the saying goes, "rabbits will bite people when they are anxious", when they are really forced to the end of the road by life, people's hearts will easily go to the crooked road, and those who do not want to go to the crooked road but are tortured will eventually be knocked down by the pressure of life.
Brother Sharp is not a special case, he is just a little luckier than other tramps because of an unexpected photo that attracts everyone's attention, but who will go to see so many tramps around the world?
Where there is sunshine, there will be shadows, where those who live in shadows should go, how to maintain the dignity of their lives, no one will think for them, and they themselves can not do anything.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > interests drive various commercial platforms to ignore the various harassment of Brother Sharp's illness</h1>
Once a person has value, even if he is a tramp, he will become a fragrant steamed bun for commercial realization. Since Brother Sharp became an Internet celebrity, a large number of media and businesses have called their homes.
Brother Sharp and his family are overwhelmed, although many phone calls really want to cooperate with Brother Sharp, but there are also many people with bad intentions, of which a cultural communication company in Shenzhen has taken a lot of videos of Brother Sharp and his family without the consent of Brother Sharp and his family, and uploaded a lot of false news on the Internet, so that Brother Sharp's reputation has been seriously affected, and many comments on the Internet have hurt Brother Sharp and his family.
What is even more excessive is that these photos expose the home address of Brother Sharp, and many people who are not at ease have followed the shenzhen cultural company to take secret photos at Brother Sharp's home, bringing a lot of trouble to their lives.
Although Brother Sharp was much better after receiving treatment in Ningbo, he was not completely cured, and Brother Sharp was very afraid of the camera and strangers.
And these sharp-hearted people completely disregarded Brother Sharp's illness and poured into Brother Sharp's life, which made Brother Sharp's mental state begin to be unstable again. Brother Sharp's family all hope that he can support himself, after all, the help of the family is limited, and Brother Sharp's popularity can just be used well, even if it is advertised once a year can support him.
But in order to avoid the same situation as the cultural company in Shenzhen, Brother Sharp's family has made a very serious inquiry and screening of each merchant who invites cooperation, hoping that Brother Sharp brother can earn money while suffering the least harm.
< H1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > invited to be a fashion show manager</h1>
With the help of his family, Xi Lige was invited to become the department manager of the Fashion Show of Shunde Country Garden Farm.
The so-called department manager of the fashion show is on the stage to walk the catwalk, after all, the popularity of the sharp brother is because of the photo that resembles the catwalk, and this can attract many fans as a selling point.
But Brother Sharp has not yet fully recovered from the mental illness, under so much attention he has become cautious and nervous, after the company's packaging has no longer the original wandering street spirit, before taking the stage he wanted to retreat several times, were discouraged.
Under the comfort and encouragement of many parties, Brother Sharp finally stepped onto the stage, but only waved to the stage, netizens were disappointed, and complained: "Brother Sharp has become a cream boy, no longer the sharp brother before." ”
The company could not get the benefits and was not willing, so it re-made a shape for The Sharp Brother, and let him wear a black coat and dark clothes similar to the picture that became popular. But clothes are just decoration, what is important is a person's temperament, as the saying goes, "wearing a dragon robe is not like a prince", afraid of the camera and the sharp brother of the stranger group cringe and shrink, no matter what clothes you wear, you can't exert the momentum of the clothes.
So the sharp brother who appeared again was once again spat on by the whole network, and the reason why the internet celebrity will be sought after is because the internet celebrity can quickly monetize, but the sharp brother who has become an internet celebrity has no ability to monetize, and suddenly changed from a fragrant steamed bun to a hot potato.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > sharp brother who was stimulated by the pressure of the media relapsed and wandered again</h1>
When Brother Sharp left the hospital, the attending doctor had already said that his state was still unstable and could not be stimulated, but after returning home, Brother Sharp brother had been paying close attention, which made him have a lot of psychological pressure after he was already autistic.
Perhaps it was the failure of the catwalk this time and the evaluation of netizens that stimulated Brother Sharp, and eventually he was insane.
This time, the sharp brother who had lost his commercial value could no longer receive sponsorship and donations, and he became a tramp again.
When brother Sharp was in good spirits, he said: "I can end my wandering career, the credit of netizens is the greatest, in fact, I am a very ordinary poor person, but the power of the network saved me, I am always grateful to those netizens who have helped me." ”
This shows that Brother Sharp is very aware of his status, he does not want to be an Internet celebrity, his desire may be to be an ordinary person, to be a person who can live a normal life. If there is not so much unscrupulous media harassment after he returns home, Brother Sharp may be able to truly heal, and when he participates in the catwalk, netizens can understand Brother Sharp from the perspective of a patient, and there is not so much harsh rebuke to him, then Brother Sharp may still be active in front of the public.
Unfortunately, everyone only pays attention to the entertainment of the event, and no one cares about the life and death of others, and can rely on the power of the network to save a person's life, but still through the power of the network to break his hopes again.
I hope that the sharp brother who has wandered again can suffer less.
