Not only was her story recorded in the history books of the entertainment circle, but she was also named as "the originator of stalking Fan", from which the social debate of "endless idolization" began.
So how did Yang Lijuan and idolization lead to tragedy? Now 14 has passed. Is she all right? What is life now?
1978, born in Gansu, whose father Yang is a people's teacher. Yang grew up in an intellectual family. After the accident, he was transferred to Agan Town to teach, and later formed a family with Tao Juying, who was a temporary worker in Lanzhou at that time.
Yang was 40 years old when he was born. Yang, an old son, can be said to love this only daughter in every way, even a little paranoid.
Although the situation at home is very ordinary, Yang is responsive to her daughter's request. I never want my daughter to do some housework. Even Yang Lijuan needed her father to bathe her at the age of 20.
Now it sounds like this kind of education is absolutely jaw-dropping. But at that time, no one in Yang Lijuan's family questioned it, and everyone even thought it was a very normal fatherly love.
In this way, Yang Lijuan grew up with his father's doting, while Yang Lijuan's academic performance was moderate when he was a child. Although idolization did not go too far, the family lived a simple and plain life.
But an unknown dream of Yang Lijuan became a turning point in the unfortunate abyss of this family, and this dream eventually became a nightmare for the whole family.
1994 16-year-old Yang Lijuan had a strange dream. She dreamed of a poster. Look at the portrait carefully, there is a handsome man, which says, "You approached me like this, and you met me with your true feelings." The lyrics of this sentence.
At first, Yang Lijuan didn't care too much, but the frequency of this dream gradually increased. That handsome man often meets her in his dreams.
The man in the dream confessed to Yang Lijuan in a fiery dream and wanted Yang Lijuan to be his lover.
The girl's heart in Yang Lijuan ran farther and farther with the man, but at that time, Yang Lijuan didn't know who she was in the dream after all, and even she was helpless.
Then Yang Lijuan happened to see Andy Lau on the poster, and felt that Andy Lau was strikingly similar to the man in his dream, so he decided that he was the man in his dream.
Yang Lijuan told his father the dream immediately after he got home, but he didn't expect his father to say that he had the same dream as Yang Lijuan.
Yang thinks this dream implies that Andy Lau and he are destined to get married, and his task is to help his daughter know Andy Lau.
Regardless of profit-seeking or superstition, Yang Lijuan's lifelong dream from now on is to meet Andy Lau, and Yang Lijuan also said that he would never get married until he saw Andy Lau.
The first thing Yang Lijuan did for idolization was to drop out of school.
In order to avoid the outside world's pointing fingers, Yang Lijuan's father resolutely quit his job and stayed at home with his daughter who had dropped out of school all day. Father and daughter have been having this ridiculous "Dehua dream" all day.
The family sold their house, took their meager savings and started the operation. This endless "idolization road" has also begun completely.
Since then, only Andy Lau has been left in Yang Lijuan's life.
Yang Lijuan didn't go to school, didn't work, didn't make friends, and cut off all contact with the outside world. It seems that she was born to live for Andy Lau.
In order to raise money to help her daughter know Andy Lau, Yang Lijuan's parents spent all their savings and owed countless high debts and loans.
Andy Lau became the last straw of the Yang family. Yang's people believe that as long as they meet Andy Lau, they will soon become a family with the king and superstar.
Even so, Yang Lijuan didn't get what he wanted, and the time shifted to 2006. At that time, there was no extra money at home, and Yang actually had the idea of selling kidneys.
My father's practice has made people stunned, but Yang Lijuan just said faintly to his father's behavior of selling kidneys: "I mean, you'd better accept that selling kidneys is too dangerous."
Not to mention that this happened fourteen years ago, even now, this kind of behavior and dialogue are absurd.
In 2006, Ji really sold his kidney. Yang said he could live without a kidney. As long as he sells his kidney, he will have money, and he will climb to Hong Kong by himself. As a father, Yang will accompany the doll to find Andy Lau.
In 2007, Yang Lijuan met Andy Lau at a fan meeting in Andy Lau and took a photo with his idol. It stands to reason that this farce should be abandoned.
But Yang Lijuan doesn't think so. This short meeting didn't satisfy Yang Lijuan at all. How can Yang Lijuan think that his treatment can be the same as that of ordinary fans?
The next day, Andy Lau refused to meet Andy Lau alone, so Yang left a suicide note and committed suicide by jumping into the sea at the dock.
The length of the suicide note is 12 pages, which shows that Yang's jumping into the sea is not a whim. He was determined to force him to die. The suicide note is full of accusations and abuses against Andy Lau. At the end of the suicide note, he still asked the government to make a decision and give them a "fair".
Yang Lijuan cried in front of the media and expressed his deep apologies.
At that time, Yang Lijuan was heavily in debt and his family was bankrupt. This morbid persistence has attracted numerous insults, and Yang Lijuan has gradually faded out of public view.
What kind of life did Yang's mother and daughter live after her father died?
It was not until after 12 that Yang Lijuan returned to the public view and appeared in a talk show called See you later. According to Yang Lijuan, in 2007, she burned all books and pictures related to Andy Lau and once disappeared to avoid the media.
After returning to Lanzhou, I also worked as a volunteer in a charity for several years, perhaps for atonement, or for other reasons, we don't know.
As Yang Lijuan had neither books nor friends when he was young, Yang Lijuan had to do some ordinary jobs selling labor to support his family.
It's year 14. Now Yang Lijuan of Yang Lijuan has chosen to be a shopping guide in a supermarket, and he can get a salary of about 2,000 yuan every month. Although it is not much, it is enough to maintain his daily expenses.
Yang Lijuan has been living with her mother in a small low-rent house with little furniture, but it is clean. Every time I go to work in Yang Lijuan, I need to take a bus for more than an hour, because the place where I live is really remote.
Fortunately, my colleagues who work together are easy-going and often make fun of Yang Lijuan. Because in the past, colleagues had no opinion of her. Everyone knew about that terrible past, but they kept silent tacitly.
Yang Lijuan is lively and energetic, and has now become a hot "gold medal promoter" in the supermarket.
Over the years, Yang Lijuan's life is almost only after work, only two sets of clothes are worn every season, and a set of living expenses is about 2,000 yuan. Yang Lijuan just wants to save.
She is no longer paranoid and crazy. In her own words, she "lost her temper".
For Yang Lijuan now, plain is the happiest, because she has experienced too many crazy past events. Now, although life is tense and boring, she is also stable and peaceful.
Talking about Andy Lau again, Yang Lijuan's eyes have long lost their old desires and impulses. Those years seem to have really gone, and they have become blurred and empty with the polishing of time.
When asked about Yang Lijuan's current attitude towards Andy Lau, Yang Lijuan kept silent.
Yang Lijuan no longer listens to Andy Lau's songs or watches Andy Lau's movies. Yang Lijuan said, "I would never use the word infatuation. Bless you. "
In fact, after Yang Lijuan's father committed suicide by jumping into the sea, Andy Lau paid off more than 10,000 loan sharks for Yang Lijuan anonymously. After the media spread and confirmed, Yang Lijuan also knew about it.
Yang Lijuan said that he had more than ten years of hard times. After his father died, he went to Lacrimosa every day, and only when he went out could he feel a little relieved.
Even though it has been more than ten years now, I still can't completely out of the dark, and I don't know how many days I have collapsed several times a day.
Yang Lijuan has been reflecting, and she is very sorry for her past madness and ignorance. Yang Lijuan thought that if life could be repeated, he would never do that, but how could life be repeated?
Talking about the present life, Yang Lijuan said that she just wants to live a good life and make her mother live a better and more comfortable life through her own efforts. Achieving this goal is Yang Lijuan's greatest wish.
Every time I talk about Yang, Yang Lijuan's eyes are always moist, and his father's death is undoubtedly an indelible mark on his heart. I used to spoil her as the father of the princess, because her arbitrariness paid the price of her life.
Yang Lijuan still thinks that the help of the media makes things worse. Father's death cannot be separated from Andy Lau's indifference again and again, and he is not the only one who caused such consequences.
It can be seen that in this absurd dream, although Yang Lijuan had regrets, he still failed to fully wake up. In the end, Yang Lijuan made a mistake to others.
It is right to like someone, but you should know that there is nothing wrong with loving children, but there should be no bottom line. Daughter's madness and parents' doting make a family collapse, and pain and tears pay for it.
This tragedy deserves our reflection. There is nothing wrong with having a favorite idol, but always remember the principle of doing what you can. We must choose the right road to idolization, treat the relationship between stars and fans rationally, and clarify the distance between life and imagination.
