The disaster in Henan touched the hearts of the people of the whole country, at this critical moment, people from all walks of life have reached out to help and made their own modest efforts to fight floods and rescue dangers, and artists have also donated money and materials through various channels and gained a lot of good feelings.
But in addition to the stars in the show business circle, there are many groups with not so high incomes who also give their hearts in a low-key manner, such as major enterprises, literary and art circles, hosting circles and so on.
CCTV well-known host Zhang Zequn, presumably the audience is very familiar, this year's 56-year-old he is already an old man of CCTV, has hosted the Spring Festival Gala many times, in the hearts of the audience, he has always been the typhoon calm, elegant temperament of the excellent host.
On the evening of July 27, Zhang Zequn posted a video on the social platform, published a record of his donation of 217,000 yuan to his hometown henan, he said, this is his salary for one year, hope to be used for the Henan flood, if there are other help actions to participate, he will go all out, he called on his hometown relatives, rich money, strong contribution, to jointly overcome the flood.
Compared with the stars in the entertainment industry who have donated half a million or one million, more than two hundred thousand sounds like nothing, but the salary of CCTV hosts is very different from that of stars, and it is really rare to be able to come up with a year's salary.
Zhang Zequn in the video is wearing a simple white shirt, wearing a duck tongue hat, and appearing in the camera, not as bright and beautiful as the usual stage, more like an ordinary middle-aged and elderly person, but his voice is still so sonorous and powerful and magnetic, giving people a firm and warm force.
From the documents exposed on the Internet, it can be seen that Zhang Zequn did not donate money on July 27, but transferred the money to the account of the Red Cross Society of Henan Province on July 26, and appeared only to cheer up the fathers and villagers in Henan, not to increase their own heat, and this indifference to fame and fortune is worthy of admiration.
Zhang Zequn's father is from Nanyang and his mother is from Luoyang, he was born and raised in Zhengzhou, has a deep affection for his hometown, can become a host of CCTV, and has a romantic relationship with his hometown of Henan. According to Zhang Zequn's own account, he had experienced three college entrance examinations and failed the list, and he was already discouraged and became a temporary announcer at the Pingdingshan People's Radio.
But Zhang Zequn never extinguished the flame of his dreams for a moment, and in April 1985, he did not tell any family or friends, and sat alone on the train to Beijing, hoping to finally try his luck and try to see if he could be admitted to the broadcast department of the Beijing Broadcasting Institute. Taking this exam, Zhang Zequn chose for himself to recite the essay "I am a Henan native", this article, or Zhang Zequn cut from the "Zhengzhou Evening News", is a call for essays in 1984 to welcome the 35th anniversary of the National Day.
Later, at many literary and artistic activities in the school, Zhang Zequn chose this article "I am a Henan native" as his recitation. He said that whenever he wanted to introduce himself, he would proudly say loudly in the Henan dialect: I am a Henan person!
In 2013, Henan's fathers and fellow villagers elected Zhang Zequn as a deputy to the National People's Congress, and in 2020, Zhang Zequn returned to his hometown as the host of the Zhengzhou branch of the Spring Festival Gala, which shows the depth of his relationship with Henan.
Today, Zhang Zequn has married and had children and has a happy family. On May 21, 2020, at the age of 55, he posted a photo of himself holding a child on social platforms, suspected of sharing the good news of his father with netizens, but Zhang Zequn has never had a marriage news for many years, and suddenly announced the good news of being a father, which is really too low-key. Netizens have expressed their blessings and hope that he can harvest a happy life.
Under the video of Zhang Zequn announcing the donation, netizens did not hide their praise for him, and also called him "Zhongyuan Good Erlang", seeing him as the pride of Henan. Indeed, in his work, Zhang Zequn has worked diligently and performed well, and has always been widely praised by the audience.
This donation has allowed everyone to see his kind, selfless, and loving side, so how can the audience not like the host of virtue and art? I hope that Zhang Zequn will also be smooth and profitable in his future life and continue to shine on the CCTV stage.
