Lin Yuan's Sense of Crisis

Lin Yuan shook out his aching arms and followed the staff out of the crowded hall.

Behind him, countless fans cheered:

"God Yuan, take care! We love you!"

"See you at the star ceremony later!"

"God Yuan, you've worked hard today!"

Had he worked hard?

A little, indeed.

They had originally planned to draw 700 fans for the autograph meet-and-greet, but in the end, they had no choice but to increase it to 1,400.

Everyone's enthusiasm had been far too overwhelming. When the lottery results came out, quite a few fans who had not been selected burst into tears on the spot.

"I've liked Lin Yuan for five years, but I've never had a chance to meet him up close... Sob..."

One fan's sobbing voiced the feelings of many others, and quite a few fans began crying along with her.

Then, as if a virus had spread, huge swaths of fans throughout the venue began to cry.

Those who had never chased celebrities might not understand this feeling. They might think fans were utterly brainless.

You did not even love your own parents that much, so was there really a need to love a stranger so intensely?

But Lin Yuan understood that feeling. The affection people had for celebrities was different from familial love for one's parents.

Rather than saying that many people loved celebrities with mindless obsession, it was better to say they loved their own youth.

Take the domestic singer Jay Chou, for example. When you were still a little boy, during the most carefree days of your life, you grew up listening to his songs.

In the years that followed, you encountered the pressure of school admissions, the joy of first love, the heartbreak of a breakup, the frustrations of work...

Through all those bright, sunny days
