The photos of the commercial performance in Liming Village were exposed, the stage environment was low-grade, and the four security guards sparked heated discussions.
Recently, a group of photos went viral, showing the singer Liming wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, standing on a humble village stage and singing. Next to the stage is a yellow mud hill, and there is a large fan in the audience. What is surprising is that there are only 4 security guards protecting Liming in the photo, which has aroused heated discussions and questions among netizens.
Seeing this set of photos, many netizens questioned that the person in the photo was not Liming at all, but his imitator. The reasons for this are as follows: the proportions of the figure in the photo are somewhat different from those of Dawn, who is a figure with long legs, while the legs of the person in the photo seem to be shorter. Dawn is 1.8 meters tall, but the person in the photo is shorter than the four security guards. As a singer at the level of a king, how could Liming be reduced to performing in such an environment?
Some netizens also think that they can't make a conclusion about it. After all, the photo may have been taken on a special occasion and does not fully reflect the true situation of Dawn. And it is also common for artists to go to the countryside to perform, and it cannot be denied.
Later it was explained the origin of this set of photos. It turned out that this was taken when Liming attended the donation ceremony of a school's "Million Scholarship and Teaching Fund" in Huizhou in 2021. At that time, Liming was invited to do a charity performance, not a commercial performance. In Hong Kong, many artists will participate in such public welfare activities.
If Dawn really wanted to make money, there was no need for him to perform in this environment. After all, his music copyright, real estate, car property, etc. are enough for him to have no worries about food and clothing. Therefore, this is just a goodwill public welfare activity, and the environment is simple.
The photos were eventually interpreted as a charity performance by Liming, rather than a so-called "down-and-out commercial performance in the countryside". Liming has always been enthusiastic about public welfare, but because the environment at that time was too simple, it was misunderstood by netizens, which caused heated discussions and questions. However, after clarification, everyone has a further understanding of the ins and outs of this matter.
This incident has triggered everyone's reflection on the artist's public welfare activities. Some netizens said that it is a good thing for artists to do public welfare activities, but if the environment is too simple, it will give people the illusion of "down". It is recommended that the organizer try to provide a more decent environment for artists if conditions permit.
After all, artists are also human beings, and they also need a certain amount of respect and treatment. Although their starting point is to do public welfare, if they don't even have the basic environment, they will inevitably be a little sorry for their kindness.
However, some netizens believe that the focus of public welfare activities lies in the behavior itself, rather than on the environment. As long as the artist sincerely contributes to the public welfare, it doesn't matter whether the environment is good or bad. What matters is their love and giving back to society.
"We should respect the efforts of artists and not dwell too much on environmental issues. A netizen said, "They could have chosen not to do public welfare, but they still stood up, and this kindness is the most valuable." ＂
On the other hand, some netizens believe that the organizers may choose to hold the event in this environment out of cost considerations. If the venue is too luxurious, it may cause some unnecessary criticism.
"The most important thing in doing public welfare is to be attentive, not extravagant and wasteful. A netizen commented, "I think the organizer's approach is understandable, the key is that the artist himself comes out of love, which is the most precious." ＂
There has been a lot of discussion and reflection around this matter. Some people are concerned about environmental issues, while others are more concerned about the artist's original intention. Everyone hopes that artists can be treated with the respect they deserve, and at the same time, they are expected to continue to support public welfare causes.
In addition to environmental issues, the incident has also raised concerns about the living conditions of artists. In the photo, Liming's dress and environment look very "simple", which makes people inevitably have the association of "down".
In fact, Dawn's economic situation should be quite good. As a king-level figure in the Hong Kong music scene, his income sources are endless.
Musically, Dawn has released dozens of albums, many of which are classics. The royalty income from these albums is already a considerable amount.
In terms of film and television, Liming also has many wonderful works, such as the movie "Sweet Honey", "Best Partner", etc., which undoubtedly brought him considerable income.
Dawn also owns his own record label and production company, which is in the music production and brokerage business, which is also a major source of income for him.
Liming has also invested in a lot of real estate, with his own properties in Hong Kong and mainland China. The rental income and appreciation income from these properties are also a big help for his wealth accumulation.
Dawn's income sources can be described as multifaceted, and they are all long-term stable income. His financial situation should be quite good, and there is no so-called "down" problem at all.
The photos of this performance in the countryside are just a special case and do not represent his overall state of life. Liming has always lived a very prosperous life, only occasionally doing some public welfare activities.
There is no need to worry about his living situation. On the contrary, we should be in awe of his contributions to the cause of music and the public good over the years. A true artist must not only have outstanding artistic achievements, but also have a selfless heart, and Dawn has done an excellent job in both aspects.
