Chasing stars is not something only modern people can do. Many people have been chasing stars since ancient times, but at that time they were not chasing stars, but some very talented celebrities.
Many people cannot rationally pursue stars and do crazy things for their idols. We collectively call this kind of fanboys. There are a lot of crazy fans, and they will do anything for their idols.
Andy Lau is a very famous star with many fans. Many people like him very much. I am also a fan of Andy Lau. But I can pursue stars very rationally.
When I was very young, I saw a piece of news about a girl who loved Andy Lau very much and loved him to the point of madness. But her family background was very poor, and she wanted to see Andy Lau. Her parents loved her very much, so they sold their property to accompany her to Hong Kong, hoping to see Andy Lau.
I forgot whether she met Andy Lau in the end, but I think her behavior is very undesirable. This behavior is very crazy and irrational. In my opinion, it is okay to chase stars, but you must chase them rationally. We should learn from the strengths of our idols instead of blindly praising them.
When I was a sophomore in college, a certain celebrity announced that he was single. As a result, Weibo was paralyzed because his fans were very shocked when they heard the news. They cannot accept the fact that their idol is single. They feel that no girl is worthy of their idol.
And I also saw in the news that several girls were so sad that they jumped off the building and committed suicide when they heard that their idol was divorced. This kind of girl is really crazy about chasing stars and can't distinguish between ideal and reality.
