Shortly after midnight on May 4, CCTV host Zhang Zequn shared a group photo of a gathering with his old colleagues Zhou Tao, Dong Qing, and Zhu Jun on his social account, with the text: "Long live youth, and friendship will last forever. In the late spring of 2024, there will be You are so kind." In the comment area, netizens expressed their emotions: "Ye Qing is back, another wave of memories!" "I finally saw the four teachers united, and I was in tears."
In the group photo, Zhou Tao and Dong Qing are almost like each other. Completely bare-faced, 56-year-old Zhou Tao wears a white sweater with dark plaid trousers and neat mid-length curly hair. The style is simple and intellectual. 51-year-old Dong Qing wore white short-sleeved shirts and jeans. Her hair was dyed, and her short hair showed off her sophistication. Compared with before, Dong Qing seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
In the past few years, great changes have taken place in the lives of Zhu Jun and Dong Qing. Zhu Jun, in particular, was involved in a lawsuit that kept him out of the spotlight for a long time. Although he eventually won the case, he missed the chance to host the show before retiring, which is disappointing. I don’t know if it’s because the rights and wrongs of these years have made him too nervous. At the age of 60, he looks much older than the other three old friends, and his figure is obviously heavier.
Relatively speaking, the 59-year-old Zhang Zequn is in the best condition. I saw that he was wearing a decent suit, lined with a white shirt, and a small flower on his chest. His hair was carefully styled, and his skin condition and body shape were well managed.
Judging from the layout of the venue, the group photo should have been taken when Teacher Zhang Zequn was celebrating his birthday. The room was filled with balloons, and on the big screen behind him was a poem by Xu Zhimo: "The real charm of people is not the good first impression you leave on others, but the fact that after knowing you for many years, I still like to be with you." Together. It's not that you caught the other person's attention instantly, but that the other person still appreciates you after they get to know you. It's not that you feel like you're late after meeting for the first time, but that after going through many vicissitudes, you can sincerely say thank you. It’s great to meet you and get to know you!” seems to explain the deep friendship between Zhang Zequn, Zhou Tao, Dong Qing and Zhu Jun. In the
comment area, netizens wrote: "Can Teacher Zhang celebrate her birthday like this every year?" "How can I sleep when the four senior hosts are combined?" "Teacher Dong has lost weight, I hope she is well, and I hope you are all well"
Since 2006, Zhang Zequn, Zhu Jun, Zhou Tao and Dong Qing have hosted the CCTV Spring Festival Gala on the same stage many times. The four of them worked together perfectly on stage and had a tacit understanding. It is really not easy to maintain such a good relationship in private.
Unfortunately, in 2018, the reputation of Zhu Jun, who had been brilliant for half his life, suffered a heavy blow. It was not until the lawsuit came to an end in 2022 that he gradually returned to the public eye. However, if he wants to continue his glory, the possibility of hosting the Spring Festival Gala again is almost zero. .
At the end of 2022, Zhu Jun shared a selfie in front of the CCTV building on Weibo, saying he was on his way to work in Taili. After that, his social accounts almost stopped updating.
Since 2022, Dong Qing’s wealthy husband has been deeply involved in public opinion. The company has been issued a warning letter by the China Securities Regulatory Commission, its listed companies have been delisted, assets under his name have been frozen, and high consumption has been restricted due to debts, etc. And no one knew his whereabouts, so many netizens pointed the finger at Dong Qing, causing Dong Qing's intellectual image to suffer a huge blow over the years.
After the "Long Reader" she hosted was recorded in September 2021, there was no follow-up; after hosting the "2021 China Fashion Festival" in October of the same year, she gradually faded out of the public eye. It was previously revealed that last year, Dong Qing sold the properties under her name at a low price to pay off her husband's debts. As to whether it is true or false, there is no way of knowing.
Just last month, some netizens encountered Dong Qing chatting with a monk while walking in the Lama Temple. They speculated that she came to pray for her family and herself.
Nowadays, Dong Qing can openly attend gatherings of old friends, and her photos can be made public. It can be seen that she may have overcome the difficulty. As for the future, we might as well wait and see whether she can appear on the Spring Festival Gala stage again.
