"Zhang Xue's Motorcycle, the Hidden Concerns of Creating and Destroying a God"
I have watched Zhang Xue's documentary several times and have shown it to my family as well; it moved me to tears.
Especially when he tried several times in the heavy rain, saying he had no more demands, yet his eyes turned red, feeling like he was going to fail. In fact, at that moment, the director team had already decided to give him a chance.
There truly is something very touching in him: dreams, hard work, resilience, which are pursuits we all had when we were young.
At that time, he had nothing, but his eyes were full of light.
But seeing him today, endowed by the public with the highest expectations and excitement for industrial rise and national rejuvenation, seeing his confidence in claiming a 50% market share, hearing him say the "truth" that the government hasn’t helped him a bit, and seeing him jokingly say he cannot express a formal tone, gives me some concerns.
In front of traffic, any small flaw will be magnified; traffic is best at creating gods and easiest at destroying them.
The downside of fame is that anyone under the spotlight is likely to be at risk—Lei Jun, Fat Donglai, Da Yi Ge, Gazi, and so on; fundamentally it's because people will make mistakes, and destroying a god doesn’t even require a mistake; you just need to say one wrong word, like being a little too proud.
At this point, as long as anyone talks about Zhang Xue, as long as it's not praise, they can be criticized, including fans like me being criticized too.
Why do these people criticize? It's not because they are hateful; from another angle, they are lovable people because they love intensely, and allow no criticism of their spiritual idols at all. But often, the ones who criticize the hardest are those who loved the most fervently.
> To love you, I love with all my heart, but you must live according to my ideals.
> To hate you, it doesn’t require many reasons; you only need one point, one thing.
Quan Hongchan said, "If criticizing me makes you happy, then I’m fine," but in reality, she has been bullied online to the point of depression. Many of those who criticize and attack her were the ones who loved her most fervently at the time; now they are just because she has matured, and her results have dropped, leading to her being cursed.
However, she is the three-time Olympic gold medalist, a full goddess whose splash made the judges too embarrassed to deduct points.
I actually want to ask: If you can, why don't you do it?
However, we have seen this script too many times.
Liu Xiang was a national hero at 12.88 seconds, but after retiring, he was criticized for over a decade.
Over a decade, a person who brought glory to the country was criticized by his own people for years. No one has ever asked Liu Xiang how he felt—no one cared what he felt.
Those who criticize to the point of climax will not have the words "sorry" in their dictionary.
Lei Jun was initially called "Thunder God," and Xiaomi cars were selling like crazy; the whole internet loved him. But in a turn of events, he became the movie emperor, a hypocrite, a smiling tiger, a scheming petty person, all the comments were curses.
Jack Ma went from "Daddy Ma" to "capitalist," with only a speech in between.
> There is an iron law in China's internet: the speed at which you are elevated to godhood is matched by the harshness of your downfall. Creating gods, judging them, killing them; it’s a trilogy, none is absent.
Why? Because the public has never truly liked anyone. What the public enjoys is the act of "liking someone" and "hating someone" itself. The joy of supporting you today can flip, and tomorrow the joy of stepping on you will be just as pleasurable, and then they will move on to the next.

Deep in gratitude, it's better to retreat early; when things are at their height, it's fine to take a break.
All those still standing on stage. Before being pushed off, remember to leave a way out for yourself.
In the investment field, my idol is Duan Yongping; I believe he is the only true god in this world—greater than Buffett.
But today I won't talk about investment; I will only talk about how during his peak, not only did he bravely step back, but his companies OPPO, VIVO, and Xiaotiancai all share the same approach—businesses thriving beyond belief, yet no one knows about the founders.
Huang Zheng of Pinduoduo hurriedly stepped down as CEO under the title of richest person, completely disappearing from the media; company employees and corporate culture were strictly forbidden to accept interviews privately.
They may just have a deeper respect for Chinese culture.
