Preface
On February 3, Andy Lau officially responded in front of the media that he was secretly married, and it turned out that he had been married as early as 2009.
This can't help but remind people of the "crazy" girl Yang Lijuan who chased stars at the beginning, and forced her father to sell her kidneys and jump into the sea, just to let her see Andy Lau.
She single-handedly chased star-chasing into public opinion, which also left a psychological shadow on Andy Lau.
So now that 17 years have passed, does Yang Lijuan regret it?
1. Yang Lijuan frantically chased stars and forced her father to jump into the sea
16-year-old Yang Lijuan fell into a "crazy state" in order to chase stars, firmly keeping an eye on Andy Lau's whereabouts, and he went wherever he went.
Yang Lijuan kept going back and forth between Lanzhou and Hong Kong, but some behaviors did not get Andy Lau's attention, but in exchange for "sky-high bills" for herself.
But even so, Yang Lijuan did not see Andy Lau once.
In order to fulfill her daughter's dream and let Yang Lijuan really see Andy Lau, Yang's father and Yang's mother took out all the family's savings, and even sold the family's house.
The family was penniless and crammed into a small and dilapidated rental house, but this still couldn't make Yang Lijuan wake up!
He even told his father that he wanted to drink, but the family had a hard time eating, where could they have any money?
So Yang's father, who had no choice, went to the convenience store to steal.
The second time I stole something, I was caught by the merchant, and it was a good education.
It's unbelievable that a teacher would steal something because her daughter wanted to drink a drink, but it did happen to Yang's father.
It was precisely because of Yang's father's doting on his daughter that he thought of selling his kidney to support Yang Lijuan's "star chasing".
In 2005, Yang's father took Yang Lijuan to return from Hong Kong again in failure, and this time he firmly promised Yang Lijuan that she would let her meet Andy Lau.
Probably in order to make up enough money for the journey, Yang's father sold one of his kidneys in 2006!
When he told the media about selling his kidney just to let his daughter see Andy Lau, it caused an uproar in all walks of life.
In 2007, under the oppression of major media and public opinion, Yang Lijuan finally met Andy Lau!
It's just that the contact between the two was only ten seconds, and when Yang Lijuan invited Andy Lau to meet him privately, she got a refusal reply.
Seeing his daughter's dream shattered for many years, Yang's father pushed all the suffering he had suffered over the years on Andy Lau, and he was also full of hatred for Andy Lau!
The next day, Yang's father committed suicide by jumping into the sea, and before jumping into the sea, he wrote a full 12 suicide notes, most of which were scolding Andy Lau.
even bluntly said that his death was forced by Andy Lau. (The original text of Yang's father's suicide note is attached)
"I've been waiting for you for 13 years, but I'm only waiting for your word of disloyalty and unfilial piety, do you know how much pressure my child bears?
With Yang's father committing suicide by jumping into the sea, Andy Lau was pushed to the forefront.
On March 28, Yang Lijuan insisted on abiding by her father's last words and seeing Andy Lau again!
But on March 29, Yang Lijuan's request was rejected by Andy Lau, and he also made a statement through a friend:
It is hoped that the media can correctly guide fans' star-chasing behavior through publicity.
Andy Lau's agency also issued a statement:
Seeing Andy Lau's request, we have completed it ourselves on the 25th, and other abnormal requirements, please forgive me for not being able to help achieve them.
After being refused, Yang Lijuan's mother and daughter could only listen to the media and go back to Lanzhou to bury Yang's father first.
So what happened to Yang Lijuan's mother and daughter after returning home?
Second, Yang Lijuan's follow-up
Yang Lijuan's mother and daughter, who returned to Lanzhou, didn't even have money to hold Yang's father's funeral, but fortunately, they met a kind person who donated 20,000 yuan to them for Yang's father's funeral.
But after returning home, Yang Lijuan still did not give up on Andy Lau, she regretted returning to Lanzhou like this, and she was unwilling to see Andy Lau for the second time.
Probably to attract Andy Lau's attention, in 2008, Yang Lijuan's mother and daughter sued Andy Lau and Southern Weekend and other related media.
Ask them to compensate for Yang's father's life, or compensate for their mental losses due to the failure to realize their dreams.
Of course, the result is a failure.
Andy Lau was targeted for no reason, and he also had a psychological shadow, and even needed to visit a psychiatrist.
But when Yang Lijuan sued Andy Lau and Southern Weekly, she didn't know that their reporters and Andy Lau were also silently helping her.
December 2007. A reporter from Southern Weekly posted an article telling everyone that she had never dared to tell Yang Lijuan that the person who anonymously paid off their 11,000 loan sharks was Andy Lau.
It was probably Southern Weekend's kindness with Andy Lau that moved Yang Lijuan and pulled her out of the quagmire.
In 2014, Yang Lijuan walked on the program of the Oriental live broadcast room, and she told everyone that she had woken up.
After returning home, he burned everything about Andy Lau at home, including books and photos, and promised his deceased father that he would say goodbye to the past and live well with his mother, and then disappear into the vast sea of people.
Until 2019, after an interview with "Yu See Later", Yang Lijuan appeared in front of everyone again.
At this time, Yang Lijuan has become more mature and stable, and will warmly welcome reporters to her home as guests.
This is a low-rent house that only costs 80 yuan per month, but it can also shelter Yang Lijuan's mother and daughter.
Yang Lijuan is now working as a temporary worker in a supermarket, and she will have an income of 2,000 yuan per month, although she cannot be rich and expensive, but it is enough for her mother and daughter to fill their stomachs.
At this time, she faced all this calmly, and finally woke up, let go of herself, and let go of Andy Lau, in the show, Yang Lijuan said frankly that if she could do it again, she would never do this kind of thing again.
Now that she has woken up, Yang Lijuan has finally returned to her normal life, although it is hard, but her life is stable and peaceful.
Yang Lijuan visits her father every year, and although her father can no longer open his eyes, he is still considered the best father by Yang Lijuan.
In fact, why Yang Lijuan was crazy about chasing stars in the first place, this may be related to her father and her family education.
A "tragedy" that began because of a dream
In 1994, Yang Lijuan had a dream that she was a very handsome boy, but she didn't know this person at that time.
Until by chance, Yang Lijuan saw Andy Lau's poster, and at this moment, Yang Lijuan was sure that this was the person in her dream.
It turns out that his true son of heaven is Andy Lau, one of the "Four Heavenly Kings"?
Since then, Yang Lijuan has dreamed of meeting Andy Lau in reality.
When Yang Lijuan told her parents about her dream, Yang's father told her daughter that he was exactly the same as her dream!
But whether he really dreamed it or not, or just coaxed his daughter to be happy, we don't know!
But Yang Lijuan obviously believed it, and firmly believed that as long as she and Andy Lau met, he would definitely be able to recognize herself!
Since then, Yang Lijuan has begun to frantically collect photos and records of her "future husband", and even pays close attention to his dynamics.
The old father and mother Yang are very fond of their daughter, and they simply want the stars to the stars and the moon to the moon.
So at the beginning, Yang's father and Yang's mother would take the initiative to support their daughter's "little hobby".
In 1997, Yang's father and Yang's mother gave Yang Lijuan 9,900 yuan to let her travel to Hong Kong, so that she could meet Andy Lau and realize her dream.
But Andy Lau, as one of the Four Heavenly Kings, wants to see him, where is it as simple as imagined?
In addition, their family background is very ordinary, and there is no problem in maintaining the family's food and clothing, but the travel expenses to support their daughter to chase stars again and again are a bit stretched!
Slowly, Yang's father and Yang's mother began to persuade their daughter to recognize the reality and give up chasing stars.
But Yang Lijuan, who has already plunged into it, if she is so obedient, the tragedy that follows will not happen!
epilogue
In fact, the reason why there is such an ending, Yang Lijuan's obsession with chasing stars is certainly one of the reasons, but are parents not responsible?
When the child begins to "go astray", parents should "turn the child back to the right path", instead of accompanying her to go wrong!
Yang Lijuan's story also sounded a wake-up call for the public, parents should not spoil their children too much, "habitual children are like killing children!".
We should guide the child correctly and persuade her to return to the right path, instead of supporting her desperately, which will eventually cause an irreparable situation!
