Once, Zhu Jun, a first-line host who was loved by the majority of TV audiences, stood on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala that attracted national attention for 19 consecutive years, shining and peerless!
However, the twist of fate came so suddenly, on the New Year's night of 2018, people were surprised to find that he who was supposed to appear on the stage to host had disappeared!
It turned out that just the year before, an intern named Xianzi publicly posted an article accusing Zhu Jun of sexually harassing him for more than 40 minutes.
Although Zhu Jun firmly denied it, this accusation was like a bombshell, which instantly detonated the online world and set off an uproar.
For a time, Zhu Jun was under unprecedented pressure from public opinion, and suffered overwhelming condemnation and doxing. Countless netizens have joined the condemnation team, portraying him as a "lewd uncle" and an "old pervert".
In the face of such a powerful public opinion offensive, Zhu Jun could only choose to leave the scene gloomily and bid farewell to the job he loved and the stage he loved.
Now, he has a haggard face, gray temples, and a face full of traces of time and a helpless look. Whenever he recalled that unforgettable experience alone, Zhu Jun's eyes would become dim, as if carrying endless bitterness and grievances.
It all started with a baseless rumor and malicious slander, but it hit him hard at the peak of his career, and the shadow hung over his life for many years.
That all happened in 2018, when Zhu Jun was in the prime of his career, as the chief host of CCTV, he should have held a crystal microphone again to host the Spring Festival Gala that attracted the attention of hundreds of millions of viewers. However, just when everyone was looking forward to it, Zhu Jun was unexpectedly absent from this grand ceremony, which aroused widespread doubts and speculation from all walks of life.
In fact, long before the incident, a female intern named Xianzi made sensational accusations against Zhu Jun - she claimed to have been sexually harassed by Zhu Jun for more than 40 minutes in the dressing room, but fortunately managed to escape.
Zhu Jun always resolutely denied this, but the strings were clenched, and the two quickly fell into a dispute without gunpowder. Subsequently, Xianzi published a tirade on the Internet, describing in detail the so-called "obscene" details of the scene, and attached a photo of her and Zhu Jun as "evidence".
A sudden post instantly caused an uproar in the Internet world, and many netizens joined in this online violence, shaping Zhu Jun into a "pervert" image and a "lewd uncle". Faced with such a violent storm of public opinion, Zhu Jun could only leave gloomily and bid farewell to the Spring Festival Gala stage that year. The hurt in his heart is probably beyond the reach of others.
As a host loved by the audience, Zhu Jun has always had a very high reputation, and this slander undoubtedly brought him a heavy blow. Since then, he has endured endless pain for a long time, and his life has been plunged into deep darkness.
Although the frenzy of public opinion once drowned Zhu Jun, as time went by, some netizens who remained calm and rational began to reveal many doubts and flaws in Xianzi's remarks.
First of all, there are serious inconsistencies in the process of describing himself as being rescued. She initially claimed that it was the host Yan Weiwen who broke into the door and rescued her, but Yan Weiwen immediately clarified publicly, saying that he was not present at the time. Immediately afterwards, Xianzi claimed that the famous singer Yu Junjian reached out to help, but Yu Junjian also resolutely denied it.
Second, there is a huge discrepancy between the content of the surveillance video and the plot described by the strings. According to her, she was in a state of extreme horror and despair at the time. However, surveillance footage shows that she was unusually calm after the incident and even left the scene with her friends.
What's even more absurd is that after the case was officially opened for investigation, the police failed to detect any DNA on Zhu Jun's body. It can be seen from this that the so-called "intimate contact" that lasted for more than 40 minutes is completely nonsense.
Faced with such a ridiculous "evidence", Zhu Jun had to file a lawsuit with the court, accusing Xianzi of violating his right to reputation and personal dignity, hoping to get justice for himself.
However, the hardships of this lawsuit far exceeded Zhu Jun's expectations. For the next four years, Xianzi did everything in his power to delay the trial process in an attempt to wear down Zhu's will. She frequently postponed the trial date for various reasons, causing Zhu Jun's psychological defense to gradually collapse.
During this time, the strings did not give up because of this. She launched a fierce offensive on the Internet, mercilessly "maliciously fabricating" and slandering Zhu Jun. She skillfully edited all kinds of videos, pieced together the interaction between the ordinary Zhu Jun and the female host, and forcibly gave it ambiguous colors, trying to completely destroy Zhu Jun's reputation.
However, despite Xianzi's best efforts to manipulate this storm of public opinion, Zhu Jun finally gained insight into the true face of the main messenger behind the scenes. This person is Xu Chao, a close friend of Xianzi, who is known as "Mai Yao Classmate".
Throughout the incident, Xu Chao played a crucial "supporting role".
Xu Chao has always been active in the online world, inciting the so-called "keyboard warriors" to endlessly abuse Zhu Jun. Her actions were not motivated by personal vendettas, but by carefully selecting Zhu Jun as her target for attack.
With the help of the expansion of the influence of the incident, Xu Chao tried to obtain his "political bargaining chips" and public attention. Sure enough, after netizens dug deeply, it was found that Xu Chao had released a series of jaw-dropping remarks before the incident to pave the way.
Obviously, the target of their attack was not Zhu Jun himself.
As a result, Zhu Jun was forced into a protracted litigation dispute. He has endured four years of hard fighting since the first trial in late 2018 until the final verdict was announced in late 2022.
During this long period of time, Zhu Jun suffered severe physical and mental trauma. On the one hand, Xianzi and Xu Chao have used various means at the legal level. They frequently used various excuses to delay the trial process in an attempt to strain Zhu Jun's will.
The first-instance trial stage alone took more than two years, and the psychological pressure Zhu Jun was under can be imagined.
On the other hand, they also fiercely attacked Zhu Jun on the battlefield of public opinion. Xu Chao continued to launch "human flesh searches" on major social platforms to denounce Zhu Jun's various crimes.
She also elaborated a large number of video "evidence" in a vain attempt to further distort the public's perception of Zhu Jun. For a while, Zhu Jun seemed to have become the target of everyone.
In the face of such despicable means, Zhu Jun almost fell into a predicament of physical and mental exhaustion. But he was firm in his belief and decided to start a life-and-death struggle with these two "masterminds" at any cost.
During these long four years, Zhu Jun endured the pain and torture in his heart alone, and his life fell into an endless dark abyss.
However, the hand of fate has not always been as good as it should be. Just as the final trial of the case was approaching, Xianzi couldn't suppress the panic in his heart, and in a media interview, he unexpectedly admitted that his behavior was really a well-planned "scam". This is tantamount to removing the last layer of camouflage of their conspiracy. Then, in the spring of 2022, the Beijing court made a final judgment and completely rejected Xianzi's claim.
After four long years of struggle, Zhu Jun was finally able to completely clear his grievances and restore his due dignity and glory. This victory was undoubtedly an important milestone in Zhu Jun's life. However, the four years of ordeal have left him physically and mentally exhausted, and he who was once brave and resolute is now gray-eyed and haggard.
Whenever he was alone at home and looked back on this experience, Zhu Jun rarely showed a smile on his face. The face that has gone through vicissitudes seems to condense all the bitterness and suffering of the past four years.
Fortunately, Zhu Jun's wife has always been by his side and has become his strongest spiritual pillar. It is precisely because of his wife's unwavering support and encouragement that Zhu Jun was able to muster up the courage to survive this difficult time.
This deep love will undoubtedly warm people's hearts and last for a long time. On Christmas Eve 2021, Zhu Jun announced his return to the stage in an anticipatory speech on social media: "The new year is approaching, and I am driving on the road to the TV station, although the traffic in Beijing is still congested. ”
As soon as this news was released, it immediately attracted widespread attention on the Internet. Many netizens were deeply angry and dissatisfied with what happened to Zhu Jun in the past, and at the same time they were also very happy that he was finally able to return to his career. Many young generations regard Zhu Jun as an "inspirational idol" in their minds and express deep admiration.
After returning to the workplace, Zhu Jun's words and deeds are much more restrained than before. When talking about the past in public, he always seems calm and calm, as if he deliberately avoids excessive catharsis of emotions.
Even in some interview programs, Zhu Jun's words are extremely cautious. For those tough questions, he often chooses to avoid them in a tactful way, rather than confronting them directly.
Zhu Jun is so cautious in his words and deeds, presumably because he has a profound internal cause. At the peak of his career, this well-known host in the industry suffered a heavy blow like "ten thousand arrows piercing the heart", and he personally felt the ferocity and danger of the power of public opinion.
However, a few years have passed in the blink of an eye, and he has fallen from the peak of his life to the trough in an instant, and he has suffered a lot of pain.
This return to the workplace naturally leaves a shadow in my heart. Zhu Jun is deeply afraid of falling into such a "tearing" dilemma again, so in public, he prefers to keep a low profile and restrain his edge, so as not to invite unnecessary disputes.
However, despite this, when asked about his views on the past, Zhu Jun still calmly said that he had no complaints. It was those arduous years that shaped him into who he is today, making him more humble and generous.
Now, he is standing on the stage again, cherishing this hard-won opportunity, and will devote himself to his work and strive for excellence.
