If Yang Lijuan's pursuit of Andy Lau several months ago, which led to her father's suicide, seemed inappropriate due to ideological extremism, then the suicide of a Hunan youth at a Jacky Cheung concert on June 1st evokes even deeper sorrow.
If Yang Lijuan's awakening at the age of 30 came too late, then the Hunan youth who committed suicide at the age of 22 elicits even more sympathy.
It turns out that star-chasing doesn't always stem from ignorance and blindness, but sometimes from loneliness and helplessness, or from mistakes and past errors made by parents in society.
Swallowing 60 sleeping pills was a pathological reaction.
At around 7 p.m. on June 1st, Xie Feng (previously reported as Zhou Feng) walked into the He Long Stadium in Changsha with a ticket he had bought for four hundred yuan, and took his seat in the fifth row of section B. After the concert began, Xie Feng noticed that Jacky Cheung was not far away.
Xie Feng wanted to get closer, but couldn't. In his hand, he clutched a letter to Jacky Cheung, a suicide note, and a pack of sleeping pills. Xie Feng returned to his seat.
"And I say goodbye to you, on this deserted street..." The lively atmosphere at the concert site made Xie Feng feel chest tightness, and his left side began to convulse violently.
