Speaking of Yang Lijuan , the post-00s may be unfamiliar, but the post-90s generation are very familiar because Yang Lijuan was really very famous at that time.
She began to be obsessed with Andy Lau at the age of 16, and shocked the whole country for her crazy star chasing.
chasing stars is a very ordinary hobby at the moment. With the popularity of the Internet, almost everyone will have their favorite stars in their hearts.
However, the star-chasing 15 years ago was not as convenient as it is now, and Yang Lijuan set an unprecedented star-chasing record.
She was once Andy Lau’s craziest fan. She could sacrifice everything to chase stars, and even reached the point where her family was destroyed.
What she did was just because of a dream, and she began her crazy dream of chasing stars.
From then on, Yang Lijuan did not go to school or work, and was determined to meet her dream lover. The parents did not think that their daughter's behavior was absurd, but instead strongly supported it.
In order to realize their daughter's long-cherished wish, they sold their house, and Yang's father even went to sell their kidneys (attempted) just to raise money and help their daughter go to Hong Kong to chase stars many times.
People are surprised that children are ignorant. Do adults also understand?
01
1978, Yang Lijuan was born in Gansu.
My father is a teacher and my mother is a housewife with an ordinary family background.
Yang's father only had this precious daughter when he was 40 years old. He had no requirements for his daughter and only hoped that she would grow up healthy. My daughter is his heart and the pearl in his hand. She is afraid of melting when she holds it in her mouth and afraid of falling when she holds it in her hands.
Yang's father responded to Yang Lijuan's request. Once, his daughter wanted to drink a drink, but Yang's father had no money, so he ran to the supermarket to steal a bottle of drink.
My daughter wanted to drink it again after drinking it. Without saying a word, he went to steal the second bottle again and was caught on the spot and scolded by the boss.
It is said that girls are avoiding their fathers at the age of age, but when their daughter was in her twenties, Yang's father personally helped her take a bath, but the family didn't think it was inappropriate.
Things that are unreasonable in the eyes of outsiders are the norm in the Yang family.
The spoiled and spoiled by parents for their daughter made Yang Lijuan's personality become willful and paranoid.
16 when Yang Lijuan had a dream, dreaming of a handsome guy who came to have sex with her.
She was playing with her classmates, and the man walked over and looked at herself with tenderness. Sometimes I dream that the two met on the top of the mountain, and they held hands and said sweet love words.
She told her classmates about this dream and knew from her classmates that her dream lover was Andy Lau.
She was immersed in her dream, her heart full of this man. What's even more ridiculous is that the daughter told her father about her dream, and the father said that he had dreamed too.
This made Yang Lijuan firmly believe that she and Andy Lau have a destined fate.
She started watching all the movies of Andy Lau, and the walls of the room were almost covered with Andy Lau's posters, collecting all his records.
Andy Lau moved into Yang Lijuan's heart. There was only Andy Lau in her life.
So, she started her dream of chasing stars after dropping out of school. She didn't go to school and dreamed of falling in love with Andy Lau every day.
Slowly, she came up with the idea of seeing Andy Lau.
She feels that only when we meet can the two of us express our feelings to each other and have hope of marrying him.
When the parents saw their daughter talking to Andy Lau all day long, they also objected at first, feeling that it was unrealistic.
But Yang Lijuan said, "I will never get married without seeing Andy Lau."
In helplessness, the parents nodded and decided to help their daughter.
02
1997, Yang Lijuan and her family went to Hong Kong with a tour group, and Yang's father brought all the savings of 9,900 yuan from the family.
stayed in Hong Kong for a few days, but things didn't happen as Yang Lijuan thought, and she couldn't see Andy Lau at all.
, the savings will be spent soon, and there is no way, the family can only go home.
This failed experience not only made Yang Lijuan lose her confidence, but instead made her even more obsessed with Andy Lau.
She began to pay attention to all the trends of Andy Lau. As long as there is news that Andy Lau came to the mainland, she will follow her desperately.
to buy air tickets and stay in a hotel for her star chasing star. This large amount of money Yang's father couldn't afford.
The family began to borrow money from relatives and friends, and even borrowed usury.
But no matter how much money is, it is not enough for Yang Lijuan to pay for star chasing.
In 2003, in order to support his daughter, Yang's father sold the only house in his family, and the family of three had to move to a cheap cottage with a monthly rent of 400 yuan.
A year later, Andy Lau went to Gansu to film.
Yang Lijuan was overjoyed and wanted to see Andy Lau's heart swell again. The crew couldn't get in, so she stood on the roof every day, and it seemed that she had been doing all day.
How she hopes Andy Lau can see herself at a glance, and then travel through the crowd toward him, just like in a dream.
However, the more full the ideal, the more skinny the reality is.
Andy Lau has never seen her once as she dreamed of.
Not long after, the money for selling the house at home was also used by Yang Lijuan to chase stars.
Even so, it did not dispel Yang Lijuan's passion for Andy Lau. She began to inquire about Andy Lau's address everywhere.
In 2005, Yang Lijuan finally got Andy Lau’s address in Hong Kong, so she set out to come to Andy Lau’s home with her father.
result, just like before, she didn't see Andy Lau.
However, an accident occurred. Yang Lijuan's mother was injured by a heavy object and was admitted to the hospital due to gas poisoning.
The house is leaking and raining, and the considerable amount of treatment costs have made the tight family worse.
Yang's mother's injury still did not change her daughter's rationality. She still quarrels and quarrels to see Andy Lau.
On one side is the injury of his wife and the dream of his daughter. Yang's father was so anxious that he thought of selling his kidneys.
Yang Lijuan still had no reaction to her father's thoughts, she just wanted to see Andy Lau. After this ridiculous incident was disclosed by the media, it caused an uproar in public opinion.
Countless media flocked to Yang Lijuan’s wishes as the highlight of attracting attention.
The Yang family did not reject the media, but instead cooperated vigorously, making the matter worse and worse.
The Yang family hopes to realize Yang Lijuan’s dream of meeting Andy Lau through public opinion pressure.
The overwhelming media reports made Andy Lau know about this fan.
Andy Lau did not have affection and righteousness to her as Yang Lijuan thought. Instead, Andy Lau spoke out through the studio, discouraging fans from chasing stars like this.
Even so, Yang Lijuan still insisted on seeing Andy Lau.
In 2007, a media promised to help Yang Lijuan meet Andy Lau.
On March 25 of the same year, Yang Lijuan went to Hong Kong for the third time and finally met Andy Lau with the help of the media.
Although it was only 10 minutes, she also got a group photo, which made Yang Lijuan excited and excited.
I thought Yang Lijuan's wish had come true and she could live a peaceful life.
No one expected that bad news came the next day.

In the early morning of March 26, Yang's father jumped into the sea in Hong Kong.
Before his death, Yang's father left nearly 10,000 words of suicide note in the shop.
Yang's father wrote his suicide note full of accusations against Andy Lau. He pushed his years of sadness on Andy Lau, and even scolded Andy Lau for not being worthy of being a Chinese.
"What's so great about you!" "You are too selfish!" "You let my daughter down for 13 years of youth!"
Yang's father thought that his daughter had given so much, but Andy Lau did not react at all, let his daughter down for him.
He also wrote in his suicide note: Only ten minutes of contact is not enough to let his daughter express his true feelings, and he is very disappointed.
He wants to use his death to exchange for his daughter and Andy Lau’s chance to meet again.
"I'm dead, and you Andy Lau still have to see my child, otherwise you will die with your eyes open and it will be difficult to tolerate it!"
Hong Kong newspaper headlines that day were full of reports of Yang's father's death, and seven pages of suicide notes were placed on the front page.
This time, he pushed Andy Lau to the forefront, and he could only respond through his agent: "I feel very shocked."
It turned out that on the evening of the 25th, the Yang family went to see Andy Lau's singer-song party. When the show ended, Yang's father ran to stop Andy Lau's luxury car, hoping that he would chat with his daughter alone, but was rejected.
The family of three returned to the small shop where they lived. It was getting late. While his wife and daughter were sleeping, Yang's father left a suicide note and jumped into the sea.
The development of the situation is far from over.
learned that Yang's father committed suicide, singer Yang Chengang directly held a donation meeting to donate 20,000 yuan to Yang Lijuan and asked Yang Lijuan to deal with her father's funeral.
html Unexpectedly, Yang Lijuan's actions once again shocked people's attention.She still wants to see Andy Lau when she was interviewed by the media.
She said, "This is my father's last wish." Yang's mother also said, "My husband cannot die in vain!"
The mother and daughter spoke in unison, which shocked Andy Lau.
Andy Lau didn't know what to do, but this time he said he would not see Yang Lijuan.
Faced with sympathetic and accusing public opinion voices, Andy Lau's company was forced to stop work, and his acting career was seriously affected.
At this time, Yang Lijuan's mother still indulged her daughter and scolded Andy Lau: "I want you to bear the eternal infamy. If you don't see me, I will protest with death."
Later, Andy Lau said that he had also seen a psychologist because of this.
However, Yang Lijuan's later actions once again pushed herself to the forefront.
04
Yang Lijuan, who couldn't see Andy Lau, turned her gun and pointed directly at a newspaper.
It turns out that this newspaper reported in April 2007 that Yang Lijuan would not change clothes or take a bath for ten days.
Yang Lijuan said that this report violated her privacy and reputation and demanded that the newspapers and magazines compensate 300,000 yuan.
result, she lost the case.
Did not see Andy Lau and received no compensation, so Yang Lijuan and her mother had to go back to their hometown.
After returning home, Yang Lijuan hated Andy Lau to death. She burned down all Andy Lau's records and posters, and also burned down her 13-year dream of chasing stars.
Andy Lau's "heartlessness" shattered Yang Lijuan's dream.
She has become a star-chasing person, unkind, unrighteous and unfilial person.
So, she stayed away from the media, stopped accepting interviews, and chose to be invisible.
In 2009, someone met Yang Lijuan and her daughter on the bus. The person he met said that Yang Lijuan didn't stop on the bus and kept telling people around him how hateful the media was, that her father's death could not be blamed, etc.
Her chatter seemed to be relieved of her guilt. Her mother nodded straight, meaning that her daughter was right.
In the eyes of others, Yang Lijuan is a rebellious son, but in the eyes of her parents, she has always been the jewel in her eyes.
Later, there was a program called "Crazy Fans" who invited Yang Lijuan to participate. In the
program, Yang Lijuan exhorted everyone to not chase stars, and she said: It’s not worth it at all.
She paid a huge price on the road to star chasing: she took over her father's life, her own time and money.
However, when star chasing encounters cruel reality, everything will return to peace.
05
After returning home from Hong Kong, Yang Lijuan, who was barely in the family, relied on her mother's minimum living allowance of only a few hundred yuan.
My father is gone, my mother is in poor health, and Yang Lijuan has to go out to work to support her family. She has worked as a volunteer and a clerk, but she has not persisted.
In 2016, Yang Lijuan found a supermarket and worked as a promotional staffer in the supermarket, with a monthly price of 2,000 yuan.
She is very content with this job. She knows that she has a low education and it is difficult to find a better job.
Over the years, Yang Lijuan has not started a family and has depended on her mother for life.
She lives a very simple life and does not have too much social interaction. She goes home from work and has a simple and fulfilling life.
In the eyes of colleagues, Yang Lijuan loves to talk, which is completely different from the hysteria she used to interview her.
In 2019, she appeared on the "Yu See the Future" program of Luyu . In the program
, Lu Yu asked Yang Lijuan: "If life starts again, would you still choose to experience all that?"
"No, if life starts again, it will definitely not."
talked about the current life, and she was grateful: "Thank God for not abandoning me."
and she was full of hope for the "future": "When people have not reached the last step, they have not failed yet."
She said that she was able to face reality and live a life really, unlike when she was young.
Every year of Qingming Festival, she would worship her father and ask her father to forgive her ignorance.
Her eyes and tone have become mature, and her face is full of vicissitudes of time.
In the past 15 years, her edges and corners have been polished by the ruthless reality.
The Yang Lijuan, who was once held in her palm by her parents, was finally Yu grew up.
However, the price of growth is too great.
Yang Lijuan’s star-chasing incident should be taken as a warning for fans today. You must be rational in chasing stars and never lose yourself.
