The real-life "Maitreya Buddha": quickly became popular on the Internet and was "supported" by a rich woman at a high price. What is the ending?

"No two leaves are exactly the same in the world."

This world is made up of different lives in the world. Every existence has its own color. We work hard to live and grow in order to live out ourselves.

But the world is full of wonders, and there will always be "two identical leaves". Maybe they have similar personalities, maybe they have similar looks, but no matter how similar they are, there are always differences that prove their uniqueness.

Not only are there people who are similar to other people, there are also people who are similar to "Buddha". Sometimes we encounter people with "Buddha" appearance in our lives, and we always think that such people are blessed. The essential characteristics of such a person are that they are fatter, have a fuller face, have rounder and larger earlobes, and are always smiling.

There are many people who resemble Buddha in life, but only a handful can become "Internet celebrities".

"Internet celebrity" Maitreya Buddha

We are all familiar with Buddha statues. Whether they are in temples or in movies and TV dramas, they have left a deep impression on us. For example, the Buddha in Journey to the West and various Buddha statues in temples... But have you ever seen the Internet celebrity Buddha?

With the rapid development of the Internet in recent years, Internet celebrity has become an emerging profession, and many people have taken advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune. At the same time, many kinds of Internet celebrities have emerged. Some Internet celebrities attract attention through their talents, and some Internet celebrities attract netizens through their good looks... Of course, there are also Internet celebrities who gain traffic through imitation. There are always people who can find unique business opportunities, and there is an Internet celebrity Maitreya Buddha who quickly became popular on the Internet.

Because he looks very much like Maitreya Buddha, with a round belly, a cheerful face, shaved hair, and wearing Buddhist beads. At first glance, he looks very much like Maitreya Buddha. Many netizens joked that this was "Buddha appearing".

At the beginning, the popularity was not so high. It was just for the sake of performance, and it was deliberately dressed up like this. However, what I didn't expect was that a rich woman took the initiative to "support" the Internet celebrity "Maitreya Buddha". Some people say that he is lucky and will not have to worry about food and drink for the rest of his life. However, some people expressed doubts that he was nothing but Buddha-like, so there must be something wrong with him. Indeed, there is no such thing as pie in the sky. This rich woman "supported" him, and she had her own considerations. Because I saw business opportunities in him. This rich woman took advantage of everyone's curiosity and used the "heat" of Buddha to make money. Of course, although this Internet celebrity "Maitreya Buddha" has a certain degree of popularity, it still needs better packaging to attract more people.

After a period of packaging and hype, the Internet "Maitreya Buddha" has officially "debuted". Opportunities that seem to be accidental are actually carefully arranged plans to make money. This rich woman personally took him on "tours" to various places. Through publicity and packaging, many people spent money to go to the performances and take photos, and every time they "came back fully loaded."

And he only needs to sit on the ground and recite Buddhist scriptures without doing any other performances, and he can make a lot of money. The fee for each appearance is about 100,000, and the rich woman also plays the role of an agent.

At the same time, in order to satisfy the main characteristic of Maitreya Buddha - fatness, the "low-match" Maitreya Buddha rations his meals every day, and he must eat as much as possible. The fatter the better, and in order to make money, he has to obey their orders. , and dare not resist. But over time, this burdened his body more and more, and he, who was already relatively fat, gradually consumed what was left of his health.

Someone took photos and videos of his performance and posted them online, and netizens also started a heated discussion. Some netizens think that this approach is bad, blasphemous, and deceiving everyone's emotions, which is an act of deception. Some people think it's not true. They are also making money through their own labor, and the audience is willing to pay, which is reasonable...

Indeed, if one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, there is nothing wrong with making money this way. But how long can this way of making money last?

Sure enough, it didn’t take long for this “farce” to disappear like countless other Internet celebrities. But the Internet celebrity "Maitreya Buddha" was too obese and his health was seriously damaged. At the same time, his contract with the rich woman expired, so he had no choice but to find another way out, and his life returned to peace. But what can he do now?

"I am who I am, a firework of different colors"

Although a person's success is inseparable from imitation at the beginning. For example, when an artist just debuts, he will always imitate the singing of a star. Or dancing, some people are even called second to a certain star, but through their continuous efforts and progress in the future, they eventually form their own style and have their own fans.

As mentioned above, everyone has their own unique charm. A person's existence will always have its own meaning, and he will always live in the shadow of others. Although he will get a lot of "flowers and applause", it is not his own thing after all. There are many examples of people imitating others because of "focus" at all times and in all over the world. For example, there are those who are learning to walk in Handan, who imitate others, and who once became famous for imitating celebrities, but now no one cares...

For example, "Brother Putin" Luo Yuanping, who became famous abroad in the past few years, is famous because he looks very similar to the Russian president. , many performance companies want to invite him to perform, but now that his popularity has passed, he is still an ordinary worker, just like his original life, working nine to five and living in poverty.

Although the process of finding yourself is somewhat difficult, you finally live out yourself. Isn't it a better life to not need anyone's halo and earn everyone's respect by working on one's own?

The Us Behind the "Internet Celebrity Incident"

In fact, from these things, we can also see what our society is like? This thing seems small, but how much negative impact does it have?

The first is the lack of respect for the gods. Today's China is a rapidly developing country. After innovation and reform, a steady stream of new things are filling our lives. Things in the past are too far away from us, so that people today generally have no respect for the gods of heaven and earth, leading to many principles. There are problems with sexual things, so there is a long way to go to reshape culture and beliefs.

Imitation requires skill, and you also need to understand what can and cannot be done, or how to imitate. Consider the pros and cons behind this matter. A person can imitate a certain star to make money, but gods are very sacred and are part of national culture and even world culture. Religious beliefs cannot be used casually to make fun of or seek personal gain.

The second is the misunderstanding of the concept of "making money". In today's society, most young people are very impetuous, always thinking about "becoming famous overnight" or "getting rich overnight". They have not formed a correct outlook on life and cannot really calm down, work hard and accumulate experience. Therefore, as the media and the public, we must convey the correct concept of "making money" and tell everyone what "a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way" - not only expresses that he should not gain profits by doing things that harm others and benefit himself, but also expresses that he should work down-to-earth , the concept of being an honest person.

There is no shortcut to making money. Only by working hard and doing your job well can you gain wealth and a happy life.

We always say that "happiness is something you create" and "the harder you work, the luckier you get." However, when many people face various difficulties in reality, they will choose "shortcuts" to seek benefits. This is how the Internet celebrity Maitreya Buddha uses his health to make money. Although he has temporary "happiness", his future life will return to peace, and he even gambles on his lifelong happiness because of his former vanity and laziness. If I had worked hard to find a job like ordinary people, maybe I would be in a different world now.

Every one of us has social responsibilities, especially public figures and the media, who play a leading role. Today's information network is becoming more and more developed, and we can easily get what we want from it, but at the same time, some bad things will continue to pour out, which will affect each of us, especially those whose minds are not yet mature. , young children whose three views are being established.

But Pandora’s box has been opened, and all we can do is try our best to stop its spread and protect ourselves, our next generation and ourselves. You can live a "healthy" life and a truly "happy" life.
