Li Yang, the Oriental Live Studio (where did Li Yang, who taught 300 million people English, go)

In 2004, Li Yang wrote ten crazy quotations in his autobiography. One is "My life is as cheap as a stray dog in the street", and the other is "China doesn't need people trapped by love."

This book "I am crazy, I succeeded" was published 10 years ago, constantly telling the myth of personal success. Li Yang set off a "crazy" English craze all over the country.

He claimed that he shocked the whole of Japan within a week and had face-to-face communication with 300 million Japanese people. An hour's income can build a Hope Primary School.

However, a few years later, Li Yang was accused of domestic violence and went to court, then joined Amway, saying that he converted to Buddhism.

He said in an interview that he has always been an inferiority complex.

Li Yang has a scar on his face, which was left by the treatment of rhinitis in grade three.

He went to the hospital for physical therapy that day, and the doctor put down the instrument and went to work. In this case, patients usually shout when they feel hot. But that day, Li Yang felt that the doctor's tone was too fierce to call a doctor, thinking about the martyrs' deeds in the textbook.

After 20 minutes, the whole plastic sheet was covered with sweat, and Li Yang's face was swollen with two big red envelopes, leaving a deep scar. After puberty, he has long hair to cover his face.

Li Yang summed up the experience of being burned as the result of poor family education. His evaluation of himself is the product of the failure of family, school and society.

1969, Li Yang's parents gave birth to him soon, and went to support the construction of Xinjiang, leaving him in the care of his grandparents.

At the age of four, the family finally got together. But his parents are not tolerant of him, and often say that he is "you idiot" and "you will dig shit in the future". Li Yang feels that other people's eyes are killing him, and he can't lift his head every day.

The teacher asked him to speak on the stage, but he always wriggled for a long time before he stood up. After getting up, he touched his head and stuck out his tongue. He doesn't want to go to the movies because he is afraid to tell his father what the movies are about. He is worried that his language ability is not good and he won't repeat it.

One day, my father worked in Xi 'an, and Li Yang followed. Father said to him, you and I sleep in the same bed at night. Li Yang was startled. He would rather die than sleep with his father.

After entering middle school, his parents found a reference room for Li Yang to study after class. A few days later, his parents went to see him and saw that the wall was covered with the word "bitter", which was written by Li Yang with a brush.

Mother tore up these words. Li Yang watched silently, and the next day he posted a big word "bitter" in the middle of the wall.

Li Yang was very rebellious at that time. He skipped class and fought so much that he invited his parents.

There is always someone talking about his long shawl in the yard: "whose boy is that?" He looks like a hooligan! " Father was stimulated and went back to talk to Li Yang, but he only replied: "I do!" " "

Among the people around, only the high school foreign language teacher likes Li Yang. Li Yang's spoken English is good, and teachers often assign him to read, which definitely stimulates Li Yang's interest in English.

From 65438 to 0986, Li Yang was admitted to the Engineering Mechanics Department of Lanzhou University with the penultimate score. The major was chosen by his family, and he was completely uninterested.

As soon as class begins, he lies prone in the classroom. By the end of the freshman year, Li Yang had 13 courses to make up, and even his English scores were counted down.

& lt Li Yang & gt has just entered Lanzhou University;

During the winter vacation, Liyang high school alumni organized a New Year greeting to the teacher. There were several students from Peking University and Tsinghua that day. The students described their new progress. Li Yang felt useless after listening to it. He couldn't hold back and cried.

He is determined to change himself, following the example of the rural classmates in his class, eating steamed bread with garlic and pepper instead of vegetables every day, and the money saved is used to buy English books and tapes. As a result, I ate a serious stomach problem.

He picked up steel bars from the construction site and built a "steel castle" on the bed in the dormitory. Every day, in addition to class, he drills into the curtain alone to listen to VOA and English tapes. He studies 16 hours every day until his ears hurt.

In order to prevent his inattention, Li Yang made an appointment with the hardest-working classmate in the class. Every day after lunch, he goes to the Martyrs Pavilion at school to learn English.

School is a holy place for boys and girls to fall in love. There are artificial lakes and rockeries. Li Yang's eyes can't help but glance at the men and women who are hugging. They can only look for one minute in five minutes.

He said to his classmates, "Let's shout together!" The purpose is to shout people who are in love away: "I can't talk about it, and you don't want to talk about it."

Others look at them like freaks, but Li Yang thinks that in the process of shouting, others can be ignored. This scene is "like a revenge story in a martial arts film, and it is hard to serve the country in spring, summer, autumn and winter."

A week later, Li Yang came to the English corner, and people from the foreign language department came to praise him for his good English. The encouragement of flowers gave Li Yang confidence. In order to show off in the English corner every week, he insisted on shouting at the Martyrs Pavilion for half a year. At the back, thirty people joined their team.

From 65438 to 0988, Li Yang took the CET-4 and won the second place in the school with 92 points.

The rapid development of English has given Li Yang confidence. He cut his hair short and permed it a little, which made him look more energetic than before. On New Year's Day, Li Yang received a stack of postcards, many of which were written by girls. He told his friends that girls often invited him to the girls' dormitory, and as soon as he entered the dormitory, people surrounded him.

On one occasion, Li Yang participated in an English speech contest on behalf of his department and won the second place. The first place is the English Department. He told his friends that he played better than the first place because the foreign teachers were partial to the English department.

He summed up his successful experience in learning English and made a public speech at school. After the speech, Li Yang organized several classmates to help him put up posters on campus to hold training classes. One semester in January, two classes a week, and the tuition fee is 20 yuan.

During that time, Li Yang earned 1400 yuan.

After graduating from college, Li Yang first worked in Northwest Institute of Electronic Equipment for two years, and then applied to Guangdong People's Broadcasting Station as the host. However, Li Yang felt a sense of accomplishment on the podium.

1994 decided to resign from public office and spread his English learning experience to more people. He spent an afternoon handing over his work, handing in his press card, and didn't even ask for files.

With100000 yuan borrowed from his parents, Li Yang and a group of friends set up Li Yang Kaehlitz's studio in Guangzhou and began to promote his Crazy English all over the country.

& lt at the beginning of the business, Li Yang's office >

He summed up a philosophy of dealing with people and success: love losing face, welcome setbacks, enjoy pain and pursue success. He emphasized that his "fastest, loudest and clearest" "three methods" have unparalleled advantages. It can not only make China's oral muscles become international oral muscles, but also enhance self-confidence in an all-round way, making life unique from now on.

Relying on the popularity accumulated before, Li Yang Crazy English became very popular as soon as it was launched. He described his lecture venue as Notre Dame de Paris. "It's locked inside and there are hundreds of people outside."

1998, Li Yang found the director Bird and wanted to make a movie to promote Crazy English.

After meeting Bird, Li Yang talked a lot about his inferiority complex and his relationship with his parents. Bird was very excited at that time and felt that this documentary must be made. Soon after, he received a list of films from Li for reference, including a documentary "Victory of Will" which recorded how Hitler used his language ability to confuse people.

After filming, Bird found that he always talked about the shadow of his childhood on different occasions.

Every time he gives a speech, Li Yang will talk about how he changed from a student who failed the English exam to simultaneous interpretation, and consciously integrated nationalism, gratitude education, success and English learning.

In the course of his speech, a frequent link is "scolding foreign teachers". In Daqing, Heilongjiang, in front of foreign teachers on stage, he said to the students in Chinese: "Foreigners have nothing to take advantage of foreign cheap labor."

In the ancestral temple of the Forbidden City, in the Great Wall, in major primary and secondary schools, facing thousands of people, Li Yang's judgment is also very easy:

Educating children from an early age, the purpose of learning English is two words-do! Money!

If you don't struggle, I'm sorry for your parents first. You are scum.

Hit me! Let me be a real person, a life soldier, an international soldier and a hero.

After listening to his speech, Tsinghua's classmates felt that his "crazy" way was not suitable for all their classmates, so they asked him if there was a gentler way. Li Yang told her: "In fact, all successful people are crazy. As Intel CEO Grove said, only paranoia can succeed.

& lt Tsinghua University's classmates are interviewing Li Yang >

In 2000, Bird's documentary Crazy English won the "Best Film" at the Filmmakers Film Festival in Milan. In the film, Li Yang and his students show a fanatical atmosphere of "religion". It was the hottest time to learn English in China. The return of Hong Kong and Macao, the reform of enterprise shareholding system, China's entry into the WTO and the successful bid for the Olympic Games have made people's desire to learn English strong enough.

Li Yang continued to give lectures on Crazy English, covering Singapore, Japan, Taiwan Province Province and South Korea.

Before going to Korea, a Korean friend told Li Yang that there was no English teacher in Korea to dye her hair. If you do, you will be the first. So when he went to Korea to give a speech, Li Yang dyed his hair.

His strategy paid off, and he was nominated as the first foreign ambassador by the Korea Organizing Committee of the World Cup. The pictures and reports of those speeches look spectacular, as if Crazy English has become the first brand for people all over the world to learn English.

They work together during the day 16 hours, and sit in front of the computer at night to discuss writing books. Accompanying deepened the feelings between the two. They got married in America and gave birth to three lovely daughters.

& lt Li Jinhe Liyang >

Li Yang made a file for two people, which collected love letters. There is also a photo album, which contains those shining days when they first came into contact: Li Jin sat writing a lesson plan, and Li Yang massaged her behind the chair; They walked along the beach together, holding pens and paper to discuss their work on the beach.

Li Yang is becoming more and more famous. In 2002, he participated in the Spring Festival Gala and performed the rap program "Speak English". A few years later, he was appointed as the English head coach of the 2008 Olympic Games.

& lt Li Yang performs the Spring Festival Gala >

Besides Crazy English, there is New Oriental. At that time, Li Yang asked Yu, who do you think will do better in the future? I told him that we can all do it well, but your brand is too dependent on you personally, and I have a team behind me.

Li Yang went back and thought about it, and recruited a group of English teachers who are good at oral English. After a while, he found that none of these people could do it, and the effect of the speech could not be compared with him.

The audience of Crazy English training began to gradually shift to younger age, and Li Yang chose to face more primary and secondary school students in second-and third-tier cities. He said: "College students are too watery, and those who are in a mess have all gone to college. Mom and dad sold the house for him to go to college, and as a result, that bastard fell in love with the university ... college students have the least money, and fewer people are willing to spend money to improve their spoken English. "

In 2007, Li Yang went to Baotou No.1 Middle School. When the lecture lasted about 30 minutes, Li Yang suggested that the students present should bow to the teacher behind them, and later changed it to "kowtow ceremony".

& lt Liyang Crazy English Live >

After that, Li Yang posted the photos on his blog, which was questioned by netizens. A few days later, he said in an interview: "Netizens have no name and no face, and they are not people at all."

Within a month, he went to Wuhan to give lectures and encouraged the girls to "shave their heads", saying that as long as they shaved, he would accept her as his personal disciple.

From 2007 to 20 1 1, Li Yang kept exporting such "crazy remarks".

He repeatedly reiterated the failure of parents' education and said to the young guests in the program, "If my parents were properly educated, I should have become famous when you were so young."

On 20 1 1 year, an earthquake of magnitude 9.0 occurred in Japan. Li Yang wrote in Weibo that Japan does not need sympathy. This earthquake is just a small punishment from God.

He also plans to burn hundreds of game consoles near the Great Wall to show his determination to "declare war" on the game, and named it "the new destruction of opium in Humen".

He always says in his speech that there is no love between him and Li. Kim lee Li didn't understand and asked him why he always said that.

He said it was just a story told to the media, so you don't have to worry.

20 1 1 In August, Li Jin was abused by Li Yang, and her three-year-old daughter took Li Yang's hand and said that her father didn't want it.

When Li Jin posted the injured pictures on the Internet, Li Yang was giving a family education class to 50 mothers in Shanghai/KLOC-0, saying that "people who talk about feelings are boring people, and people have bigger things to do." When he heard about Li Jinfa and Weibo, he was scared. He was sweating all the time and worried that his career would be affected.

Li Jin suggested that he take a week off without going on a business trip, and the two of them should talk it over and solve the problem. But Li Yang disagreed. He said that he "must not cancel the course because of such a trivial matter".

He told reporters that he and Li Jin were doing family education together. The reporter asked him, do you treat children as experiments? He said that there are good experiments and bad experiments. Life is also an experiment. Isn't the mouse an experiment?

Li Yang firmly believes that success is the only criterion, not love. True love brings great success.

For twelve years, he only went home for one or two days a month. For more than twenty years, he has never spent the Spring Festival at home.

In the face of online criticism, Li Yang didn't care too much: "I'm not interested in online people. They are all losers, and the winners are here. How great a person I am, how can I care what others say? "

In order to maintain the image of success, after the domestic violence, Li Yang appeared on several programs.

In "Oriental Live Room", a foreign observer asked, "I don't understand why he can still be on TV?" Li Yang said that because I need to be on TV, everyone needs me to be on TV. But after several programs, Li Yang's Crazy English inevitably went downhill.

After the domestic violence, Crazy English Beijing Company closed down. The company's customer service took the initiative to call out to sell, and when it came to crazy English, it was often hung up.

Li Jin sued Li Yang for divorce, and the court ruled that Li Yang paid Li Jin 50,000 yuan for mental damages, and the property was discounted at 6,543.8+0.2 million yuan. But until 20 13, Li Yang's compensation has not been implemented. After the end of the statutory time limit, Li Jin repeatedly went to the court to apply for enforcement.

In the same year, Li Yang announced that he had joined the famous direct selling company Amway in Weibo, calling Amway the most selfless and helpful enterprise in the world. In 20 14, he announced his conversion to Buddhism and worshipped Shaolin Temple abbot Shi Yongxin as his teacher.

His business plan is to train monks in English and hold the first Shaolin Kung Fu Crazy English International Winter Camp.

In 20 15, Li yang once again entered the field of mobile phones and wanted to make a "crazy mobile phone" with a price of 699 yuan. No APP can be installed, only 100 phone calls and 100 short messages can be stored. The special function is to learn English.

Li Yang said in an interview: "The future market value will exceed that of New Oriental." But there was no news soon.

Li Yang once said on the podium that the worst parents in China are those who "beat and scold their children" and "pay attention to their achievements".

Because she didn't grow up in love, her mother asked her to shout "Dad" to her father who came home from a business trip. He practiced several times, but when his father came in, he couldn't scream, and his face was still red. Until now, he still can't name the word "dad".

He wrote in the book that his parents didn't help him form good habits. He walked with a hunchback since childhood and didn't know that he had to brush his teeth every day. At the age of 33, his teeth rotted one by one, only to know that brushing his teeth should last at least 3 minutes.

But Li Jin doesn't understand why Li Yang always emphasizes his lack of family care. In her opinion, Li Yang's parents are ordinary old people in China. Li Yang's sister also said that although they were beaten when they were children, their parents never beat them hard or used sticks. When he was in college, Li Yang's father wrote him more than 10 pages, and gave him 100 yuan for living expenses every month, which was the most in the class.

After Li Yang succeeded, he preached to his students: "People work for money, and people with high incomes must have high quality. I want to be a cash cow for my parents, and I want to change the fate of my family in English! "

After becoming famous, Li Yang started Li Yang Crazy English International Parent University to teach other parents how to educate their children.

But he has little energy to spend with his children. Li Jin said that the three daughters like Xinjiang dance and really want Li Yang to watch them dance on the sofa, but Li Yang would rather spend an hour or two sitting in a chair deleting other people's news than watching her daughter dance. He didn't allow his Weibo to be scolded.

Eldest brother Lili had a performance at school, hoping that Li Yang could be there, but he didn't come back. Lily had to explain to her classmates that I can speak English, so I don't need my father. Other children need my father.

& lt Li Yang and his three daughters >:

Before Li Jin, Li Yang was married once. He and his first wife also have a daughter named Li Jialin.

When Li Jialin was 4 years old, her mother took her abroad. Before the age of 20, she seldom had a chance to see Li Yang. It was not until 15 years old that she knew that Li Yang had three daughters.

She thinks it's her fault that her parents are separated, because her father wants to find another woman to have a baby, and it's not a boy.

/kloc-at the age of 0/6, Li Jialin returned to China for the summer vacation. She met Li Jin's eldest daughter Lily for the first time at the speech site and received her gift.

Speaking that day, Li Yang said on the stage that only by holding the child ten times a day can the child be healthy. After the speech, Li Jialin said to Li Yang, I am not healthy enough.
