"Mountains and seas connect with clouds, the hometown of the Great Sage" , Huaguo Mountain at the middle foot of Yuntai Mountain in Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province is famous all over the world because of the classic "Journey to the West".
During the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the rulers of all dynasties built temples and pagodas here. Thousand-year-old buildings, ancient ruins, and the travel traces of literati from past dynasties are all over the mountain.
In 2014, a Lianyungang local girl Sun Feifei caused widespread heated discussion on social platforms, and the topic was related to Huaguo Mountain.
Sun Feifei claims to be a "descendant of Wukong ". Her ancestors originally settled in Huaguo Mountain, but due to the evolution of dynasties, they joined the "secular world" and left a piece of Monkey King 's "spirit" to their descendants. stone" .
As we all know, "Sun Wukong" is only the result of literary creation, not a real existence, but Sun Feifei not only took out the "spiritual stone" in a decent manner, but also took out "the hair of the ancestors passed down from generation to generation - monkey" gross" .
In order to prove that what she said was true, she went to Fudan University in Shanghai, but was slapped in the face mercilessly. In the end, even her boyfriend who had been dating for many years left her.
1. Descendants of Wukong
For those born in the 1990s, their deepest childhood memory is the serial broadcast of "Journey to the West" on TV every summer vacation.
As one of the four great classics in my country, the wonderful journey of Tang Monk and his disciples, who went through eighty-one tribulations and went to the West to obtain the scriptures, not only demonstrated the rich artistic thinking and creative abilities of ancient Chinese literary creators, but also implied He has a profound feeling of supporting the strong and the weak, and caring about the common people.
The protagonist Tang Seng in "Journey to the West" is indeed a real and enlightened monk in the Tang Dynasty .
In order to seek the highest truth of Buddhism and enlighten all living beings, he traveled thousands of miles to India, and finally introduced Buddhism into our country, allowing Buddhism to bloom everywhere in the inland areas of our country, and the number of monks and temples increased year by year.
The scriptures are true, but the three disciples surrounding Tang Monk are fictional characters.
If Zhu Bajie is the embodiment of laziness and desire, then Sun Wukong is the embodiment of wit and bravery .
A monkey that jumped out of the stone, a Bima Wen who made havoc in the Heavenly Palace and stole the Queen Mother flat peaches, a Monkey King with seventy-two transformations and piercing eyes, Sun Wukong is undoubtedly the "Journey to the West" The most legendary character. After
was born, Sun Wukong occupied the mountain and became king, allowing his monkeys and grandchildren to live a carefree life in Huaguo Mountain.
The mountain he occupies is Huaguo Mountain. Therefore, today's Huaguo Mountain, relying on the classic image of Sun Wukong, coupled with the unique scenery and environment, as well as the vigorous repairs of various dynasties and generations, has long become one of the well-deserved landmarks of Lianyungang tourism. .
Sun Feifei, who calls herself the "descendant of Wukong", was born in 1993. Her hometown is Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province. The Huaguo Mountain Scenic Area has preferential policies for Lianyungang locals, so Sun Feifei has been a frequent visitor to Huaguo Mountain since she was a child.
Shuiliandong, Sanyuan Palace, Great Saint Buddha, Huaguo Mountain and other major attractions are all places she can enjoy with her eyes closed.
With an oval face, big eyes, a slender figure, waist-length hair, and pear dimples at the corners of her mouth when she smiles, Sun Feifei was born with an excellent skin and has always been the school belle.
She was used to being the center of attention and was very confident in her appearance. After entering adolescence, she spent all her energy on dressing up, and her studies plummeted.
After graduating from high school, Sun Feifei did not continue studying. Instead, with the help of her parents, she entered a private company in Lianyungang city to work. Although her life was uneventful, it was warm and peaceful.
In 2010, Sun Feifei confirmed her relationship with her high school classmate Xu. Before Sun Feifei revealed herself as a "descendant of Wukong", the two had been in a sweet relationship for almost four years.
Since 2005, old social platforms such as Tianya Forum, Sina BBS, and Maopu have begun to enter people's lives. Many people have caught up with the blue ocean of the Internet by interactively speaking or sharing photos, and have won the attention of many netizens. The term "Internet celebrity" It also came into being.
got traffic if it paid attention. Although the traffic at that time was not as valuable as it is now, also created the first batch of Internet tycoons.
Jiangsu is located on the coast and is exposed to new things much faster than other cities. Therefore, after Sun Feifei entered the society, she quickly began to contact some public platforms under the leadership of her colleagues.
Due to her exquisite appearance, Sun Feifei received a lot of praise when she posted her life photos on the Internet for the first time, which greatly satisfied her vanity.
After a period of time, Sun Feifei began to pay close attention to the posts of certain "Internet celebrities", and often brought it to herself, thinking about whether she could imitate others and rely on the Internet to attract attention .
However, due to her limited knowledge, she did not expend energy to seriously study how to play the Internet. The popularity of the subsequent posts plummeted, and did not bring the so-called "overnight fame" to Sun Feifei.
The Internet has created a group of people, but it has also distorted a group of people. Sun Feifei is the distorted part. She racked her brains to think about how to get more attention. Since she cannot rely on appearance, she needs other additional "seeing" point".
It was not until she wrote her first article titled "Childhood Memories of the Descendants of Wukong" that Sun Feifei finally grasped the "key" to attract traffic.
2. Lingshi as evidence
In this article written from the first perspective of a "descendant of Wukong", Sun Feifei described herself as someone who has remembered the teachings of her ancestors since she was a child, and went to Huaguo for the most important festival during the New Year. The Nth generation "Successor of Wukong" is worshiped at the mountain.
And the origin of her lineage is said to be the descendant left by Sun Wukong when he was the mountain king on Huaguo Mountain before he caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace.
In order to avoid causing fierce complaints from netizens, Sun Feifei was very smart to blame all the opinions on her ancestors, emphasizing that she was only receiving education from her elders.
As for the identity of the "descendant of Wukong", the family has always strictly stipulated that "it is forbidden to spread the word to outsiders" and "it is forbidden to seek personal gain with the identity of the ancestor". After the article
was published, Sun Feifei gained thousands of fans, but in addition to the increase in fans, more people questioned .
In order to prove that what she said was true, Concubine Sun did not reply privately to anyone who questioned her. Instead, she updated her schedule to return to her hometown of Lianyungang to offer sacrifices a week later, and mysteriously displayed the Sun family’s heirloom - A purple-red sandalwood box .
This purple sandalwood box has an exquisite Tengyun lock. After opening it, you can see a heart-shaped gray-black stone lying quietly inside, with unidentifiable natural symbols carved on it. arts.
According to Sun Feifei, this stone is the fragment of the spiritual stone that gave birth to Sun Wukong. It was passed down from generation to generation and treasured by her ancestors after Sun Wukong left Huaguo Mountain.
Around the stone, there is a strand of hair tied with a red rope, showing a light golden color. We all know that when Sun Wukong performs his seventy-two transformations, he will always take a piece of hair from the back of his head and put it in the palm of his hand. With a gentle blow, he can transform into anything he wants.
And this strand of golden hair is exactly monkey hair, but it has lost its ability to "change" over the years .
With the "spiritual stone" and "monkey hair", Sun Feifei's identity made those who had doubted her before begin to waver.
has lived near Huaguo Mountain since she was a child, and her surname is Sun. The image Sun Feifei designed for herself as a "descendant of Wukong" was a great success. The local media in Lianyungang took the initiative to come to interview her. It was all the rage for a while.
For those who have the ability to discern, no matter what evidence Sun Feifei presents, they all know that she is lying.
But the Internet has such a characteristic that people will not delve into the authenticity behind it, but will only see whether your content is exciting and eye-catching enough.
Therefore, when Sun Feifei's story became popular, a professional team even offered to help her plan a plan, hoping to make the story of "The Descendants of Wukong" into a series.
Not long after, Feifei Sun’s personal channel updated another update. said that she was about to take the “family heirloom” to the Anthropology Research Center of Fudan University in Shanghai to let experts identify the “spiritual stone” and “monkey hair” .
Sun Feifei's boyfriend Xu also accompanied her there. He firmly believed that his girlfriend had a special identity that was different from ordinary people, and he was proud of it.
After Sun Feifei and her party arrived in Shanghai, did not receive an official reception from the Institute of Anthropology of Fudan University.
For academic leaders who are engaged in professional scientific research activities, they are afraid of being associated with these unfounded fabrications on the Internet and causing trouble.
In order to avoid returning without success, Sun Feifei, with the help of the media, finally found a retired old professor and got the identification answer.
3. A void
At this time, Sun Feifei was no longer the little girl who dabbled in the Internet alone and hoped to gain recognition from the outside world with her good looks.
Her trip to Shanghai was created by a professional copywriting team throughout . Each article was revised dozens of times before being updated to on the social platform. After
was explicitly rejected by Fudan University , Sun Feifei's boyfriend also briefly questioned it.
But seeing Concubine Sun surrounded by people, staying in high-end hotels, and having her food, drinks and entertainment reimbursed by the "public company", the media leaders accompanying her were looking for connections and wanted to contact reliable anthropology research experts. To identify the so-called "spiritual stones".
After many twists and turns, an old professor finally met Sun Feifei and her party, and asked his old friend to borrow a laboratory for identification, uncovered the true identities of the "Spiritual Stone" and "Monkey Hair".
A week later, Sun Feifei received a reply from the old professor, and the answer in the letter was already known to everyone except Sun Feifei's boyfriend Xu.
This so-called "spiritual stone", is simply an ordinary pebble, was just bought by Sun Feifei at the antique market during the weekend.
And the light golden "monkey hair", is just a few ordinary people's hair, not to mention the monkey hair of "Monkey King", it is not even the hair of ordinary monkeys.
But who cares about the so-called identification results? Just by relying on the gimmick of going to Fudan University in Shanghai to seek the truth, the image of Sun Feifei as a "descendant of Wukong" has been instilled into the subconscious of netizens time and time again.
Her social account gained hundreds of thousands of followers in just one week. In 2014 and even in the following two or three years, it was considered a very amazing traffic miracle.
Therefore, from the beginning, the real purpose of Sun Feifei and her group planning to go to Shanghai was not to prove her identity as a so-called "descendant of Wukong", but simply to attract traffic and build Sun Feifei into a veritable "network". "Hong", an "Internet celebrity" who even if people find out that her "spiritual stone" is fake, they will not be too disgusted and lose their followers.
After returning to Lianyungang from Shanghai, Sun Feifei got her wish. She quit her previous job in a private company and was recruited to an Internet celebrity incubation institution with a high salary. It seems that she has gained enviable Internet attention, but the price she paid was the most real and precious feelings .
Her boyfriend Xu always believed that Sun Feifei's identity as a "descendant of Wukong" was true. had never doubted that his girlfriend would fabricate a persona and fabricate evidence just to attract traffic and make profits.
During the four years they were together, although they were not rich and wealthy, they were at least well-off. As long as they supported each other and worked hard, they could build their own family like any ordinary couple.
But after Sun Feifei came into contact with social platforms, Xu felt something strange about her: She didn’t go out without makeup, she always stared at the like number on her phone, she became more and more fond of famous brands, and she went to high-end hotels even if she couldn’t make ends meet. Dining place...
After the identification results of "Wukong Descendants" came out, everyone in the hotel continued to plan the next work without any suspense. Only her boyfriend Xu was left hanging like a clown. aside.
At this time, Xu realized that he was just a pawn in the hands of his girlfriend.
carefully recalled the many interviews with him in the past by the media. Because he believed deeply in Sun Feifei, the various states he showed in front of the camera had no element of acting. The character design provided a great help.
After realizing this cruel truth, Xu could no longer face his relationship with Sun Feifei.
After returning to Lianyungang, he moved out of the rental house where the two of them lived together, and the only message he received from Sun Feifei after leaving, actually "reminded" him to be careful with his words and deeds, and not to talk nonsense in front of outsiders. Eight channels .
The popularity of the Internet is only temporary after all. As more and more interesting "back waves" appear, Sun Feifei, the "front wave", was slapped hard on the beach.
However, her personality could not withstand any scrutiny, so during the year when she was a "full-time Internet celebrity", except for a game company inviting her to endorse her as the Monkey King, people soon forgot about her past. "Descendants of Wukong".
Nowadays, even a primary school student knows that Sun Wukong is just a character in a fairy tale.
Using fraud may be able to gain temporary attention and satisfy one's vanity and material interests in a short period of time, but after all, it is not a long-term solution and is far inferior to the happiness brought by down-to-earth efforts.
