Actually, last year Teacher Zhang Xuefeng had two chances to save himself. The first was on September 24th, when he was restricted from following and live streaming across the entire platform; the second was on December 3rd, when he was publicly named, given a deadline to silence and suspend broadcasting.

If he had paused at that time, taken a step back, retired bravely, stopped live streaming, cut back on business, and reduced staff, he might have saved his life.

But both bans and suspensions were temporary. At the time, it seemed to be a stroke of luck for Zhang Xuefeng, but now it appears to have become his misfortune.

It echoes the saying: "Misfortune may be the root of blessing, and blessing may hide within misfortune."

The reason Zhang Xuefeng kept going was actually more about social responsibility.

His company has about 500 employees, supporting 500 families. Relying on his strong personal charisma, these employees enjoy very good benefits—28 days of vacation each year, interest-free loans for home purchases. Compared to the 996 work culture at large corporations, it’s like heaven on earth.

During a live stream, Zhang Xuefeng also once said that if there is a next life, he wouldn’t want to be such a responsible person. He said that in this world, some people don’t have to do anything and can still live well, because there’s someone behind them helping shoulder everything. And he, he is the man who shoulders everything for his family and his company.

He said he is too tired.

In fact, Zhang Xuefeng isn’t just talking about himself; he reveals the greatest helplessness of ordinary middle-aged men in the world: living not for themselves, but for the people around them. #Gate正式接入Polymarket
