Chapter One: The DNA of Art
On the eve of Michael's London concert launch, all media outlets covering music or lovers of music could not suppress their excitement. People from the 1990s and earlier said: "Not having worshipped Michael Jackson is equivalent to not having listened to music." However, today's E-era might consider this merely a "brand effect," as they do not truly understand Michael Jackson's personal charm. Younger fans do not recognize Michael Jackson as the "King of Pop," but rather view him as a master of plastic surgery or a fairy tale about a black man turning white.
Chapter Two: Growth and Transformation
"Since we took control of our own destiny and started making our own music, every album of mine or our band has carried the words 'Dedicated to our mother.'" -- Michael Jackson. Michael's father was the object of his hatred, while his mother left another impression in Michael's heart. Katherine brought warmth and tranquility to the home. The parents' natural love for music deeply influenced the children around them. The siblings' "secret artistry" received support from their mother and eventually won recognition from their father.
Chapter Four: A Dream Disturbed by Many Troubles
The "whitening" incident was actually a misunderstanding by people. In 1993, at the peak of his career, he accepted an exclusive interview with Oprah Winfrey, one of the most renowned TV program hosts in America, reviewing his life and career comprehensively. In the interview, he discussed his family, his lonely and painful childhood, conflicts with his siblings and father, media slander against him, good deeds after being burned during an advertisement shoot, rumors about skin whitening, feelings about his black identity, rumors about plastic surgery, the classic crotch grab in his dance moves, the origin of the title "King of Pop," his private life with the opposite sex, family values, his relationship with Elizabeth Taylor, a guided tour of his Neverland mansion, kindness towards children, sources of inspiration for his dance steps, and his attitude as a pioneer in pop music.
Chapter Five: Lonely Peter Pan, Who Will Keep Him Company?
In Neverland, Michael sculpted a statue of Peter Pan; he wanted to preserve a never-growing-up childlike heart but couldn't escape the world's insistence on seeing him as a normal man. Yes, as a person, he had all the characteristics that males should have, so he should have love, a family, and children. But in Michael's heart, he was still just a big boy who hadn't grown up yet. Faced with the pursuit of the opposite sex, he would retreat in fear, so he wouldn't understand the allure of Boz Scaggs, would push away Madonna's passion, and maintain a shy infatuation with Princess Diana. Only with Taylor could he stop pretending to be a mature man and simply be a child.

2. MJ was a great man of the last century, a superstar in the music world!!! No matter how gossip attacks him, it all seems pale and powerless in front of him---no one is perfect, everyone has flaws, let alone someone who didn't have a childhood. His wishes were actually very simple; he just wanted to preserve a little bit of himself in reality and public opinion.

His singing and dancing are so beautiful, no one in this world can surpass him. No matter if he was good or bad, I like him. MJ, you will forever live in my heart. Love you...
