Sensational videos of youtube et al

On 28th December 2007, Hu Ziwei, 38, host of Beijing Television’s financial show, gatecrashed the stage of a live-on-air event, in which her husband, Zhang Bin, a celebrity sports announcer on another channel, was onstage.

In front of top station executives, she then proceeded to tell everyone that her husband was having an affair, while her husband seemed dumbfounded and unsure what to do.

Hu Ziwei : in 2005, she was named one of China’s “Top Financial Beauties”

The aftermath: rumours of Zhang’s resignation have already started: he did not appear on a weekly Olympic program he had been hosting for a few months.

Husband and wife during happier times

Video at bottom shows Hu speaking while Zhang Bin (the tall man with glasses standing next to her) hesitating. English translations will follow (thanks to lestatedogawa):

Hu: … but one day, I’m standing here on the stage, not as a host of a TV show, but as the … wife of Zhang Bin. Please allow me … (interrupted) … to say something here. Just give me one minute, please.

Hu: Today is a special day for the Olympics Channel, and the same true of Zhang Bin, as well as me. Just two hours ago, I got to know that my husband, Mr. Zhang is now having a relationship with a woman.

Hu: Next year, China will witness the 2008 Olympic Game held here in Beijing, which, undoubtedly, will draw the world’s great attention. However, as a French Foreign Minister has once said, if China is not able to make its values … (voice-over: no more shooting), what’s the use of all these? Is there any meanings at least? (A lot of people trying to drag Hu off the stage). This is the way you treat an armless woman? How could you treat me like this?

Hu: (Hu struggling) last word, please, last word. Shall we at least be a little graceful? As a French Foreign Minister has once said, China will not become a great country until its values can be accepted by the world. Here you can Mr. Zhang, such a gentleman in suit, standing here … but do you know that he is not able to face himself, not even his wife, who has been hurt so deeply by him. I do believe before China truly becomes a great country … (to the people who are dragging her off the stage) do you have at least a little conscience?! Hands off! … There is still a long way to go.

Hu: The last Sunday, perhaps. Tomorrow, all of you will have a long and pleasant vacation, but of course not Mr. Zhang and me.

Hu: I’m very sorry for the interruption, but I’m …

Zhang: I apologize.
