The existence of "Mei Fuki" always seems to tell a story beyond football, an allegory about escape and self-comfort.
The reason why "Mei Fuki" is particularly keen to build an idealized Messi kingdom in the real world may be because of their own unsatisfactory in real life. In this complex and ever-changing society, everyone is running around for life, facing all kinds of pressures and challenges. For the "plum blowers", Messi is not only a player, but also a haven for their souls, an ideal embodiment who can temporarily forget the troubles of life. Whenever the weight of real life makes people breathless, immersing themselves in Messi's glory has become a simple and straightforward way to escape. It's a place where they can forget about their own workplace failures, relationship troubles, and even anxiety about the future, because everything seems to be perfect in Messi's world.
However, this evasion did not come without a cost. It is like a double-edged sword, on the one hand, it gives short-term spiritual comfort, and on the other hand, it also deepens the individual's sense of humility in reality. While over-beautifying idols, "plum blowers" often ignore the realization and promotion of self-worth. They place too many emotions and expectations on others, but ignore that in real life, everyone needs to earn respect and achieve personal growth and breakthroughs through their own efforts. Relying too much on the virtual idol halo will only make you appear more small and powerless in the face of reality.
On a deeper level, when the "plum blowers" do their best to defend Messi, even at the expense of distorting the facts and denying any reasonable criticism, this behavior actually reflects a deep inner sense of insecurity and inferiority. They are afraid that the "godhead" of their idols will be shaken, just as they are worried that the last pure land in their hearts will be invaded. As everyone knows, real strength comes from the courage to face reality, including the imperfections of idols, and the unhappiness of one's own life.
Therefore, it is not so much that the "plum blowers" love to escape from reality, but rather that they are looking for a spiritual paradise to balance the bitterness of reality. But true growth requires facing up to the unsatisfactory in life, embracing one's imperfections, and drawing strength from them. After all, everyone's life ultimately has to be written by themselves, rather than living in the shadow of others.
