"I don't endorse black hair products! I don't endorse slimming coffee! I don't endorse various health products. Please don't deceive consumers! (My magic weapon for losing weight is diet + exercise) Recently, there are nearly a hundred videos on major platforms saying that I am critically ill and hospitalized , saying that I have terminal liver cancer, etc., are all false news! It has caused great harm and pain to me and my family! I received a call from my 80-year-old mother the day before, and she burst into tears...asking me if I was seriously ill and was hospitalized." Han Hong also begged. The Internet supervision department has stepped up supervision and ordered relevant people to delete false content: "My elderly family members are very old, and I really don't want them to worry about me."

Search online , there are indeed endless fake news related to Han Hong, all kinds of strange, and some are even very outrageous. In the first half of 2018, there were rumors that Han Hong quit the circle and became a monk. Han Hong issued a statement saying that this was not the case. In 2020, Han Hong's charity work was impersonated by criminals and engaged in illegal activities, and she could only issue a statement to "fight counterfeiting." , in 2023, the Beijing Han Hong Charity Foundation issued a statement denying illegal and untrue information about earthquake emergency support activities in Gansu and Qinghai; Recently, because Han Hong’s weight loss effect has been relatively obvious, rumors have emerged that she has lost weight and is critically ill. The 80-year-old mother became confused because of her concern, and was seriously disturbed physically and mentally. This shows how abhorrent the rumors are.
Some netizens may find it strange that celebrities’ own family members can’t identify rumors? Especially when it comes to important matters related to life and health, how can you believe it so easily? In fact, the elderly are relatively weak in information acquisition and filtering abilities, and if they live separately from their children for a long time, they will be more concerned about their children far away. If they suddenly see such news on the Internet, they will definitely feel worried and sad. Because such unwarranted and unfounded rumors have caused such trouble to the 80-year-old mother, Han Hong's sadness and anger should be felt by normal people.
There is no need to say more about how widespread and harmful Internet rumors are. Arbitrary fabrication of stories and rumors that harm the reputation of others will cause endless troubles to the parties involved, damage their reputation and image, and some may cause serious psychological harm. The accumulation and proliferation of similar rumors has destroyed the trust foundation of society. Once rumors spread in sensitive fields such as public safety and health, they will often cause public panic and uneasiness. They must be severely cracked down and rectified forcefully.
Internet rumors have been a scourge for many years, but they continue to be banned. The root cause is the anonymity of cyberspace and the habit of some netizens to "follow the trend", which makes the cost of spreading rumors extremely low and the speed of spread extremely fast. After being able to capture traffic and gain benefits, some criminals will deliberately create and spread rumors for personal gain. There are too many rumors and they spread too fast, making it difficult to trace the source and chain of transmission, and the difficulty of supervision naturally increases.
Thunderous measures should be taken to control the rampant rumors on the Internet. First of all, Internet supervision departments should increase supervision and establish and improve monitoring, early warning and disposal mechanisms for online rumors. Those who deliberately create and spread rumors must be severely punished in accordance with the law to form an effective deterrent. Secondly, media and platforms should assume social responsibilities, strengthen self-discipline and review, and eliminate channels for the spread of rumors. At the same time, we actively publicize information to refute rumors, improve the public's information literacy and discernment capabilities, and encourage netizens to be more vigilant, not to be credulous or spread unverified information, and to jointly maintain a clear cyberspace.
The Internet connects you and me. Clarity and harmony depend on everyone. The victims of rumors are definitely not just Han Hong, nor are they limited to stars and celebrities. They have spread to every corner of society. For ourselves and for the people we love, Everyone should resolutely resist rumors, maintain rational thinking, prudently forward information, actively seek verification and refute rumors, and jointly make positive contributions to "a world free of rumors".
