The credibility of artists like Edison Chen, who once shined, is not only based on talent and image, but also on their true reaction and sense of responsibility in the face of challenges.
In 2018, on the runway of New York Fashion Week, an unusual model appeared. This model is not the usual young man and woman, but an older uncle. He was dressed in a purple Tang-style gown with leggings, and walked lightly on the catwalk. It was his first catwalk. Before the catwalk, the boss asked him if he was nervous, and he replied that he was not afraid at all. But in fact, he was so nervous that his whole body trembled. He didn't understand why the boss would let someone who had never walked the show take the lead. Still, he managed to complete the task.
After the catwalk, the uncle also took promotional photos for the brand. As soon as these photos were released, he became popular and became the focus of discussion in the trend circle. However, he didn't care about this, he just silently followed his boss - Edison Chen.
This uncle's name is "Brother Long", and he is Edison Chen's full-time driver and assistant. He has been working for Edison Chen since he was 12 years old, and their relationship transcends the boundaries of employment. Brother Long is not only Edison Chen's escort, but also his relatives.
However, the good times were short-lived. Not long ago, the news came that Brother Long had passed away. Edison Chen posted two updates on social platforms. THE FIRST IS A PHOTO OF THE SKY WITH THE CAPTION "REST IN PARADISE" TO EXPRESS CONDOLENCES TO BROTHER LONG. The second is a photo of Brother Long, with the caption "POUR OUT A LITTLE LIQUOR", which means missing a deceased friend in hip hop culture.
Edison Chen and Brother Long's past. Edison Chen regards Brother Long as his father, no matter how high or low, Brother Long is by his side. Brother Long really has a deep impression of Edison Chen's life. Especially in the photogate incident that shocked the entertainment industry, Brother Long inadvertently became the key figure in the incident. Remembering that he accidentally took Edison Chen's computer for repairs, which caused the storm of private photo leaks, all this seems to be a coincidence of bad luck. That turmoil hit Edison Chen too hard, not only on his career, but also on his personal reputation and inner world. That was the only time Brother Long was not by Edison Chen's side. After the incident, Edison Chen left the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and Brother Long also returned to a peaceful life.
Despite encountering such a big turmoil, Edison Chen's attitude towards Brother Long was very tolerant, he did not vent his anger on Brother Long, but dealt with all this with affection and tolerance. There is an invisible rope of affection between them, and even after great challenges, they have not been able to cut it. Such tolerance and affection make people believe that there is still true emotion and pure goodness in the world.
However, when Edison Chen restarted his career, he still came back, and Brother Long also returned to him. Until the end of their lives, they were good brothers and good friends who accompanied each other.
With the passage of time, people's attitudes towards Edison Chen have changed, as can be seen in the messages of netizens!
Netizen A: Actually, I admire Edison Chen's words and say that if you quit the circle, you really quit the circle.
Netizen B: Edison Chen is still a kind and righteous person. Although I was very attentive when I was looking for a woman when I was young, you said that you became famous at a young age, handsome, and popular, so many women rushed up, and it was strange that they didn't bother. The entertainment industry is chaotic and there are many temptations. On the contrary, I think Edison Chen is doing well now. It's back to normal life
Netizen C: To be honest, Chen's affairs back then are really not a matter now.... And he's the victim in the strict sense of the word... What is commendable is that people say that they will quit the circle, you must know that at that time he was really a popular fried chicken!
Netizen D: Guanxi is actually affectionate and righteous, and he is more upright than many people in the entertainment industry.
Netizen E: Edison Chen's character far surpasses most artists! Brother Guanxi is patriotic! He knows how to be grateful, he is an artist who really fights for the rise of the nation! What man is not enough to match him? As a man, I fully support him
Netizen F: Even if something happens to Mr. Chen, he is very responsible and takes the initiative to take responsibility, and he says that he will not return to the entertainment industry if he does not return, which is really what he says
Thinking of Brother Long's silent dedication to Edison Chen, he grew from a young assistant to an irreplaceable family. The simple emotions between them are enviable. In today's world, loyalty and trust are becoming more and more rare, and it's really rare to have such a hardcore relationship. Despite their ups and downs, their camaraderie shows that true friendship and family can overcome all odds. Edison Chen's loss and mourning are also deeply saddened. He lost not just a driver, but a close friend and family. The power of this emotion is so strong that it can still be felt even after Brother Long passed away.
Everyone will have people like Brother Long in their lives, who may not be blood relatives, but who have given us indescribable support and warmth in life. It's a story that reminds us of what family and friends really mean, and reminds us to cherish everyone around us. Because we don't know if they will be able to continue to travel at the next stop.
Write at the end
Edison Chen's example is a thought-provoking case in the entertainment industry. His former image can be said to be a role model for young people, and he is also the darling of the fashion circle. However, with the storm of the Photogate scandal, his credibility suffered a major blow. As a result, many people question the role model status of celebrities, and reflect on whether the real humanity is hidden under this glamorous appearance.
Having said that, Edison Chen did not choose to completely escape after the incident, but chose to face it bravely. This kind of courage to "do what you say" is commendable. He publicly apologized, admitted his mistakes, and showed a determination to turn things around. This move is not only a sign of courage, but also an important step for a celebrity to restore his credibility.
Public attitudes are also key in this process. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, but the key is whether we give others the opportunity to correct their mistakes. In Edison Chen's case, although some people chose not to support it, others chose to forgive, which reflects the tolerance of society. In fact, public tolerance is not only a personal salvation for Edison Chen, but also a promotion of a virtuous circle for the whole society. Celebrities, as public figures, should of course take corresponding responsibilities, but after they make mistakes, the public's tolerant attitude can help them regain trust and create a more tolerant and understanding atmosphere for society as a whole.
Therefore, Edison Chen's case teaches us several important truths: credibility is an important asset of a celebrity, which is not easy to recover once lost, we should have the courage to admit and improve in the face of mistakes, and as a public, we should also show tolerance and give people the opportunity to correct their mistakes. These are indispensable factors for maintaining a healthy social climate.
After experiencing the turmoil, Edison Chen did not choose to retire behind the scenes forever, but chose to bravely return to the public eye and walked out of the setback with practical actions. His courage, and openness in the face of failures and mistakes, became part of rebuilding credibility. At the same time, the public's forgiveness and support have also become the confidence for him to stand up again. This is not only a personal salvation, but also a demonstration of the power of social tolerance. In times of challenge and difficulty, our tolerance and understanding of each other is essential to building a harmonious environment. Everyone deserves a chance to correct their mistakes, and everyone deserves a second chance. In these times of rapid change and stress, let's remember that everyone is imperfect and that tolerance and support are the bridges we can all move forward together.
