Preamble:
What is the experience of chasing stars?
Is it a momentary frenzy, or is it all the effort?
Is it the cult of reason, or is it mad obsession?
Turn the page of Yang Lijuan's star Andy Lau, maybe we can find the answer.
Yang Lijuan's star-chasing story is a legend about dreams and reality, infatuation and awakening.
This girl from Lanzhou, Gansu Province, started a more than ten years star-chasing journey because of a dream.
On this road, she paid for her youth, money, and even her family's life, but in the end, she was exchanged for endless regrets.
Let's walk into the story of Yang Lijuan and witness the star-chasing life of an infatuated girl.
Wake up from a dream and start the obsessive road of chasing stars
In 1994, 16-year-old Yang Lijuan had a dream in which a handsome man said affectionately to her: "You are very close to me, and you have met me sincerely." "
After waking up, Yang Lijuan never forgot the person in her dream, until one day, she recognized the familiar face on the poster in the hands of her classmates------ it was Andy Lau, a superstar who is popular all over the country!
Since then, Yang Lijuan has embarked on the road of chasing stars without hesitation.
She resolutely dropped out of school despite the opposition of her parents; she frantically collected everything about Andy Lau, posters, records, as long as it was related to idols, she would not refuse to come; she missed Andy Lau day and night, and she was the figure in the dream in and out of her dreams.
In 1997, with the support of her father, Yang Lijuan embarked on the journey to her dream for the first time.
Yang Qinji took his daughter from Lanzhou to Hong Kong, hoping to help her meet the male god in her heart.
However, the reality is harsh.
In the bustling city and noisy crowds, Andy Lau is nowhere to be found.
The disappointed Yang Lijuan and Yang Qinji returned to their hometown, but the flame of the girl's dream was never extinguished.
Father and daughter join forces to chase their dreams at any cost
After returning from Hong Kong, Yang Lijuan's infatuation with Andy Lau did not weaken, but intensified.
Although Yang Qinji knew that his daughter's behavior was a little paranoid, he still chose to support his daughter's enthusiasm.
In order to raise funds for star-chasing, Yang Qinji made a move unimaginable to ordinary people.
He sold his family's real estate and moved into a low-rent house with his wife and daughter, and the family lived together in a small space.
What's even more embarrassing is that Yang Qinji actually claimed that he had sold a kidney for his daughter to chase stars.
Although this news has never been confirmed, it is enough to give a sense of the father's indulgence in his daughter's crazy behavior.
In 2007, Yang Lijuan once again embarked on the journey of chasing stars.
This time, Yang Qinji even borrowed 11,000 yuan from loan sharks, just so that his daughter could participate in Andy Lau's concert in Hong Kong.
With the help of the media, Yang Lijuan finally got her wish and met Andy Lau, who was thinking about it day and night, at the fan meeting.
However, just one side of the relationship could not satisfy Yang Lijuan's desires, and she made even more unreasonable demands ------ meet Andy Lau alone.
Faced with Yang Lijuan's obsession, Andy Lau chose to refuse.
First, as a star, he has the obligation to protect his privacy, and second, private contact with obsessive fans is also easy to cause unnecessary scandals.
However, Yang Lijuan and Yang Qinji clearly underestimated Andy Lau's determination.
The tragedy of chasing stars, infatuation eventually became a demon
Knowing that Andy Lau refused to meet his daughter alone, Yang Qinji was furious.
This father, who gave everything for his daughter, actually made a jaw-dropping move.
He threatened that if Andy Lau did not agree to meet Yang Lijuan, he would commit suicide by jumping into the sea.
The news was like a bomb that caused an uproar in the media and the public.
For a time, the star-chasing deeds of Yang Lijuan's father and daughter became the focus.
People were shocked by Yang Lijuan's fanaticism for idols, and even more shocked by Yang Qinji's desperate behavior.
However, in the face of the coercion of the Yang family's father and daughter, Andy Lau still did not compromise.
Perhaps out of vigilance against Yang Lijuan's pathological behavior, or perhaps out of consideration for his personal reputation, Andy Lau insisted on not meeting Yang Lijuan in private.
After learning of Andy Lau's final decision, Yang Qinji finally couldn't bear the weight of reality.
This father, who gave everything for his daughter, chose to end his life in despair.
He committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea, never seeing his beloved daughter again.
Yang Qinji's death caused a huge repercussion in society.
People regret his love for his daughter, and at the same time reflect on the boundaries of star-chasing behavior.
And Yang Lijuan, an obsessive star-chasing girl, seems to be still immersed in her own obsession and can't extricate herself.
The public condemned, and the star-chasing girl became the target of public criticism
Yang Qinji's death did not make Yang Lijuan wake up, but made her more and more paranoid.
She blamed Andy Lau's indifference for her father's death, and even took the media and Andy Lau's agency to court with a complaint, saying that they were responsible for Yang Qinji's death.
However, it is clear that the laws of the world cannot justify such absurd accusations.
The court dismissed Ms. Yang's lawsuit on the grounds that it lacked factual and legal basis.
At the same time, Andy Lau's fans were also excited, condemning Yang Lijuan's behavior, accusing her of losing her humanity and blaming her mistakes on idols.
In front of angry fans and a ruthless press, Yang Lijuan and her mother could no longer withstand the pressure.
They left Hong Kong and returned to their hometown of Lanzhou.
Since then, Yang Lijuan's figure has gradually faded out of public view.
Life is tribulation, and the infatuated girl finally wakes up
Yang Lijuan, who lost her father, had to rely on her mother for her life.
They relied on the meager savings left by Yang Qinji to get by.
In order to make ends meet, Yang Lijuan had to let go of her past arrogance and go into society to look for job opportunities.
In 2009, someone met Yang Lijuan's mother and daughter on the bus.
The once high-spirited girl is now full of sorrow, and her mother is even more haggard and unbearable.
The hardships of life made Yang Lijuan begin to reflect on the past.
She gradually realized how illusory and unrealistic the dream of star-chasing she had devoted everything to it was.
In order to atone for her sins and survive, Yang Lijuan chose to devote herself to public welfare and became a volunteer.
She used her actions to make up for the debt in her heart.
At the same time, she also found a job as a cashier in a supermarket, relying on her meager income to support the life of the mother and daughter.
After more than ten years of chasing stars, Yang Lijuan gave everything, but in exchange for the death of her relatives and her own regrets.
But it was precisely in the grinding of life that she finally saw the reality clearly and got out of the quagmire of infatuation.
Returning to the ordinary, the star-chasing girl regains her new life
Now, Yang Lijuan, who has entered middle age, has chosen to stay away from the public eye and live a calm and ordinary life.
She and her mother live in a low-rent house, living on a meager income, but they feel more secure than ever.
Looking back, Yang Lijuan is full of remorse for what she did back then.
She regretted that she failed to honor her father properly, and regretted that she insisted on going her own way and dragging the person she loved most into the abyss from which she could never recover.
Now she just wants to treat life with a normal heart and use her own hands to create a simple and fulfilling day.
Once upon a time, Yang Lijuan embarked on the road of no return to chasing stars because of a dream.
Her fanaticism, her stubbornness, her desperation, eventually led to an irreparable tragedy.
Now, after experiencing the vicissitudes of life, she finally understands that the meaning of life is not to chase illusory dreams, but to be down-to-earth and cherish the present.
Epilogue:
Star-chasing culture is an inevitable product of social development to a certain stage, and there is no right or wrong in itself.
The key is whether the star chaser can maintain a rational and sober mind and correct the position of idolatry in life.
Fortunately, after experiencing hardships in life, Yang Lijuan finally walked out of the haze of chasing stars.
She used her personal experience to explain that star-chasing should not be the whole of life, and personal ideals and family responsibilities are equally important.
I hope that Yang Lijuan can find her own happiness in the ordinary in her future life.
