This director is vindictive.

After Chen Mo became famous, his past experiences became well-known to everyone.

In particular, Chen Mo famously overturned the table at a press conference back then, and his first pot of gold came from the compensation in that first online defamation case, which is still talked about today.

And Chen Mo's Weibo post was particularly interesting, you know what?

That was truly the first time he had ever trended on social media and made headlines since entering the industry.

Don't be fooled by the fact that many people often talk about trending topics and hot searches, as if they're easy to get on. In reality, for many people in the entertainment industry, and even the vast majority of artists, they may never have the chance to be in the news for their entire lives.

Chen Mo was the same back then; before that, he had never really made it onto the trending topics list.

Netizens immediately burst into laughter.

After many years, Chen Mo suddenly brought him out of retirement to work again, which inexplicably had a comedic effect.

If Chen Mo hadn't mentioned it, probably no one would have thought of them.

As a result, a bunch of silly netizens commented below.

"As expected of you, Chen Mo, the vengeful one!"

"How many years has it been? It feels so distant. So here's the question: should they thank Chen Mo for bringing them back into the spotlight, or should they hate Chen Mo for dragging them out for public humiliation again?"

Anyway, thank you!

Anyway, thank you!

"."

The comments section quickly and uniformly filled with a joyful atmosphere as people joined in the chain.

Although there was a small group of people who would mock Chen Mo for being petty, vindictive, and holding a grudge even after more than ten years.

However, many people are actually happy about this. After all, if Chen Mo hadn't risen to power and overturned the table back then, the situation would be reversed today.

Everyone probably knows what happened, but those people still continue to be active in the entertainment industry. This matter may be mentioned from time to time, but they still won't apologize, and they still won't think they were wrong back then.

Over time, Chen Mo may have faded into obscurity, and people will feel sorry for him and sigh helplessly, "That's just how the entertainment industry is!"

In fact, this past stain may eventually become a recurring topic for them to attract attention.

That's true. Chen Mo still remembers those people in his previous life. When they did live broadcasts or appeared on shows, they all said the same thing: they were definitely not the ones in the wrong. Don't ask, just ask. Nobody knows the real truth. Putting aside the facts, he did take action, right?
It's like another critic of Bao Zheng, who was slandered for many years. Although everyone knows what really happened after all these years, so what if the truth is known? He's already completely finished with his career! He's even retired from the entertainment industry.

The entertainment industry today is actually no different from it back then, and may even be worse, but at least there were people who rebelled and succeeded.

No one expected that this "Life's Greatest Achievement" themed event would end so dramatically.

When the clock strikes midnight, a new day begins.

The buzz generated by the previous days' themed events has already prepared countless people to participate in the next themed event.

Interestingly, today's event theme is a classic, albeit old, topic that always resonates with people – dreams.

Do you still remember the song "Old Boy" from back then?

The line "Have our original wishes come true? Now all we can do is mourn them?" broke the hearts of countless people and triggered a wave of nostalgia across the internet.

Especially those "old boys" and "old girls" who were once passionate but have now had their edges worn down by life, who hasn't secretly wiped away tears when they heard this lyric?
Looking back on childhood, almost everyone has been asked that classic question by their teacher in class: "What do you want to be when you grow up?"

The answers back then were varied—some people had lofty ambitions to become scientists, some had naively dreamed of opening a convenience store, and others were incredibly immature and shouted "Save the world!"

But what about now? Opening the book of reality, how many people's dreams have become nothing more than a self-deprecating phrase on social media: "Just being alive is good enough"?
What's even more heartbreaking is that those dreams you loudly proclaimed back then might have been mocked by classmates: "You think you can be a star?"

"You scored 30 on a math test and still dare to say you want to be an astronaut?"

Looking back now, those who laughed may have long forgotten that they once had dreams, while those who were laughed at may not even dare to mention them again.

Do you still remember that dream that was ridiculed?
Did you grit your teeth and achieve it, or did you say goodbye with a bitter smile?

Today's theme: Dreams!
Share your childhood dream and tell everyone, did it come true?

Although the theme of this event had been announced beforehand, it was only on this day that the real event took place.

The event went viral online as soon as it was announced.

Because dreams, though old-fashioned, can always touch your heart.

[Netizen Youhaifengwu] Yearbook from ten years ago:
My dream: When I got into finance school, I dreamed of becoming the Wolf of Wall Street! I would wake up every day in a 200-square-meter bed made of golden nanmu wood and drink civet coffee from a diamond-rimmed cup!

Current situation: I'm using a cheap enamel mug (purchased from Pinduoduo with free shipping) to brew instant Nestlé in a rented room in an urban village. Last week, my department was laying off staff. As I was carrying a cardboard box out of the office building, the security guard asked me, "Why are you taking the freight elevator if you're a delivery person?" (Image: A chipped "Securities Practitioner Qualification Certificate" pressing down on a Huabei (Alipay's credit service) bill.)

P.S.: Did my dream come true? Haha, Chen Mo, you bastard, I don't believe your dream back then was to become a director!
[Netizen Little Fatty dd] Graduation Yearbook:

My childhood dream was to travel around the world! To see the stars in the Sahara Desert and sing "O Sole Mio" in the canals of Venice!
Now, I guess we've achieved at least a little bit of it?
Current situation: After three years of delivering food, I have won the "Most Familiar Underground Parking Garage Award in the City".

Yesterday, I got lost in the maze-like parking garage of my apartment complex. While calling a client, I heard "O Sole Mio" playing in the background—it was the elevator repairman's ringtone. (Image: A sticker on the back of my electric scooter said "Are you starving?", and the takeout order in the insulated box read "No garlic, just dreams.")
[Netizen who types very slowly 2005] First love letter:
Dream: To marry my goddess and have a baby with eyes like hers and intelligence like mine (scratch that) like hers!

Current situation: I've been on eighteen blind dates, and yesterday the matchmaker said, "There's a girl who doesn't mind that you're bald."

When we met, I realized she was my high school crush. The child she was holding hands with had eyes that looked just like my old husky. (Image: WeChat chat history showing "the other party retracted a message," the last sentence of which was "Do you still have the love letter you wrote to me back then? I want to show the back side to my child as draft paper.")
These are relatively normal. After all, dreams are aspirations, not reality.

But soon a large group of netizens who had "already realized their dreams" arrived.

The first to break through the encirclement was a netizen named "I Want to Be a Star".

This netizen shared a composition they wrote as a child; the paper had already yellowed.

The pencil writing was crooked and messy, mixed with pinyin and correction marks.

My dream is to be a big star.

Today, the teacher asked us what we wanted to be when we grow up, and I was the first to raise my hand and say, "I want to be a big star! Even more famous than Little Swallow from 'Princess Pearl'!"

I want to wear a sparkly dress, sing on TV, and everyone will call my name! My mom won't have to work overtime every day anymore, I can buy her a big house, and I'll treat the whole class to spicy snacks. (Teacher's red pen note: The character "辣" was misspelled as "拉," but the ambition is great, so extra points!)
Once I become famous, I'll have the security guard from our neighborhood become my agent, because every time he sees me he says, "This kid has the look of a star." I'm also going to take Aunt Zhang, who does square dancing, onto TV; she always says my hip-wiggling is prettier than her granddaughter's!

In 2026, a netizen posted a picture showing the current situation: at the opening ceremony of a shopping mall in a county town, the netizen was wearing a dinosaur mascot costume and holding a sign that read "Clearance Sale"!
Just in case everyone doesn't know, I've marked him with a big red arrow; the person in the bulky dinosaur costume is him.

With text:

"Someone asked me if my dream has come true? Hmm, I guess I've achieved half of my dream."

"Now the security guards in my neighborhood shout 'The big star is on patrol!' whenever they see me (I'm a sales promoter at the mall). Aunt Zhang saw my Douyin video and said, 'Your dancing is worse than when you were a kid.'"

P.S.: I've long since achieved the freedom to sell spicy snacks, now I've switched to selling them, and students get a 20% discount!

The netizens below were laughing hysterically, but there was also a lot of bitterness in their voices. "This is a perfect example of a reverse dream come true! From 'being a star' to 'being used as a backdrop for a star,' it's all about being watched!"

"The security guard's prediction came true—he's now a 'mall superstar,' with customers chasing after him every day asking for directions to the restrooms!"

"My dream has come true, but why do I feel like crying for no reason?"

Some netizens shared photos of themselves as children, wearing school uniforms and red scarves, standing in the sunlight, solemnly raising their hands, their eyes shining.

"When I was little, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. I shouted: I want to be a great cleaner!" The whole class burst into laughter, and even the teacher couldn't hold back his laughter.

But I was very serious at the time.

Back then, as a little kid, I really thought sanitation workers were amazing, so amazing, that they could make dirty streets spotless! I even had the wild idea of ​​inventing a flying broom so that trash could jump into the trash can by itself!
Do not laugh!

Because I'm really, really serious!
When others hear the line from "Old Boys," "Have your original wishes come true?"

Many people would say, "No!" and then silently shed tears.

And I will loudly proclaim, "My wish has come true!" Then, just like before, I will silently shed tears!

Photo caption: A street shot of a person wearing an orange work uniform with "XX Sanitation Worker" printed on the back, holding a large broom, against a backdrop of a road at four in the morning!

With text:

"Dream come true! Although I don't have a flying broom, my garbage truck can reverse with a 'beep beep beep' sound, which is pretty high-tech!"

"My classmates who laughed at me back then are now posting on their WeChat Moments at 3 a.m.: 'Working overtime to the point of collapse'—while I have already swept three streets and received the first ray of sunshine (and the first breath of car exhaust) of the day."

So let's all suffocate for our dreams!

Many netizens found this amusing.

"When I was little, I wanted to be a cleaner. I thought cleaners were amazing. There's nothing funny about it because I was like that back then, and like the blogger, I had similar wishes. It's just a pity that I haven't been able to fulfill my wish!"

"Upstairs, you know how to backstab! I'd call you the Backstabbing Cult 2.0!"

"From 'great cleaner' to 'street beautician,' this is a dream come true, complete with a beauty filter!"

"I sent my old teacher a photo of him at work, with a note that read: 'You told me to study more, but you didn't say I couldn't sweep the streets!'"

"On the Sustainable Development of Dreams":
1. Childhood version: Inventing a magic broom → Adult version: Driving an electric garbage truck

2. Childhood version: Letting trash jump into the bin by itself → Adult version: Shouting at littered cigarette butts, "Pick them up yourself!"

"The most inspiring thing is that you're the only one in the whole class who has achieved your dream; the others are barely even surviving."

[Netizen Cilantro Destroyer] Kindergarten drawing assignment:

The crayon drew a little person in a white coat with a speech bubble above his head that said "I want to be a doctor." However, the drawing turned out to be of him cutting a watermelon with a kitchen knife. The teacher's comment was, "You need to distinguish between a scalpel and a watermelon knife."

Current situation: A nurse in the emergency department of a top-tier hospital posted a screenshot of her WeChat Moments at 2 a.m. saying, "I just finished stitching up the scalp of a drunk man, and now he insists that I am the enemy who cut his watermelon."

[Netizen Azhai Never Gives Up] The origami cranes given to him by the girl he had a crush on back then:
The inside of the drawing reads, "I hope you can become a comic artist." Now, the draft on the digital screen has been revealed—the female protagonist looks remarkably like the girl from back then, but the client commented, "Her breasts aren't big enough, her hair isn't sparkly enough, redraw it!"

The accompanying text poses a thought-provoking question:

"Did I achieve my dream (make a living by drawing), or did I betray my dream (draw erotic mobile game character illustrations)?"

(A highly-rated comment: "No conflict, this is called using anime alchemy to compensate for lost youth!")
The concept of "dreams" is something that, in today's realistic world, truly suffocates many people.

However, this doesn't stop netizens from finding amusement in their own wounds online.

"When I was a child, I wrote an essay titled 'My Ideal' saying that I wanted to be a teacher. Now, I send messages in the parents' group every day saying 'Please urge your child to complete their homework'—I've definitely become the person I fear most!"

"I dreamed of becoming an archaeologist, but now I'm doing 'archaeology' every day on construction sites (getting yelled at so much for cutting fiber optic cables that I can't even lift my head)."

"I dreamed of opening a dessert shop, but ended up making shaved ice at a bubble tea shop—back then I fantasized about elegant baking, but the reality is 'customers are practically poking my nose with their hands demanding my orders!'"

Some netizens started a poll about their childhood dreams.

As a result, "scientists" received the most votes, and of course, they also had the most unfulfilled dreams.

Another marketing account published an article titled "The Changing Landscape of Dreams!"
Dreams of children in the past:

Dream art style:

1. Handmade doodle style: Draw "scientist" and "astronaut" crookedly with crayons, and attach an abstract design of "inventing a flying car" next to it (Teacher's note: Learn to draw straight lines first).

2. Romantic declaration: "I want to be Superman! I'll save the world during the day and help my mom buy groceries at night!" (In reality, he can't even carry his schoolbag).

3. The unpretentious type: "Open a small shop, and you can eat spicy snacks as much as you want"—only to be slapped awake by a parent: "You're so unambitious! At least say you want to open a supermarket!"

Today's children

Dream art style:

1. Cybertron Special Edition: "I want to be an esports player! A multi-million dollar salary, and fans calling me 'husband'!" (Parents roar: "You'd better climb out of the Bronze rank first!")
2. Short Video Crash Course: "Become an internet celebrity by unboxing videos, dancing, and saying 'Iron Man, 666' every day"—Kindergarten talent shows directly sell products: "Scan the QR code to follow my live stream, snacks for only 9.9 yuan with free shipping!"

3. Realistic and Sober-Up: "My dream? To become a civil servant. Don't ask, because my mom says the end of the universe is social security."

In the past: "My dream is to build rockets!"

"When I grow up, I want to be a teacher and fill the blackboard with chalk!"

Now: "My dream is to be an idol! Rocket? Oh, does it count if my Weibo data 'skyrocket'?"

"Be a teacher? Unless online classes can mute students' microphones and AI can grade my assignments!"

Right image: An anonymous voting screen at a primary school, with real-time comments scrolling by: "Internet celebrity, lazy bum, landlord".

With text:

"From 'changing the world' to 'not being changed by the world'—Congratulations to humanity for achieving a new milestone in 'lying flat evolution'!"

The comments from netizens below were also quite unique:
"Children used to dream of being heroes; now they dream of being 'homework-free heroes'."

"Back then, opening a small shop was criticized for lacking ambition, but now live-streaming e-commerce is praised for having a business mind—times have changed, even dreams have become inflated!"

"My past dreams were 'What I want to become'; my current dreams are 'What I don't want to become'—like my mom." (End of Chapter)
