CNBC AI News – Market watchers are turning their attention to the online drama surrounding comedian Li Xueqin following reports of financial scrutiny surrounding her company.
Adding fuel to the fire, influential blogger “Liujiushou” took to social media with a characteristically wry observation: “Li Xueqin shot to internet fame overnight simply because a celebrity responded to one of her social media comments.”
Liujiushou contrasted Li Xueqin’s rapid ascent with his own career trajectory, highlighting the years he spent building a following – “three years on Douban” – before gaining traction on Weibo. He described his own painstaking process of building a fanbase, “writing tirelessly, one post at a time”, in contrast to what he perceives as Li Xueqin’s effortless rise.
He further pointed out disparities in their respective opportunities, noting how Li Xueqin swiftly landed gigs on comedy shows, while he, faced with personal struggles and considerable public scrutiny, ended up on a “humiliating divorce show”.
Addressing the accusations that Li Xueqin’s company is facing a lawsuit and has been reported for alleged tax irregularities, Liujiushou expressed surprise that she seems largely unfazed, continuing with her media appearances and brand endorsements.
“I, on the other hand, am law-abiding and straightforward … yet I worry about attracting controversy,” he wrote. “One wonders if hard work can ever stand up to destiny.”
He further mused on his own situation, invoking the humbling image of his grandfather’s work and characterizing his own company as composed of “a group of underachievers” lacking in public relations prowess.
The post’s sentiments sparked a mixed reaction online, with some commenters suggesting that Liujiushou’s critique bordered on envy, pointing out Li Xueqin’s academic background from Peking University.
Liujiushou countered with a touch of cynicism: “I’ve spent 20 years writing, and I’m still, well, me. While Dong Yuhui recites a few poems with the occasional mistake and is instantly lauded as a literary figure. Some titles are just, that,” he wrote, implying that such recognition often depends more on timing and external factors than genuine talent.
