Crazy Fans : Interesting Read
A father whose daughter has been obsessed with pop star Andy Lau for 13 years committed suicide in Hong Kong one day after he managed to help his daughter meet her idol.
The 68-year old father was a retired middle school teacher earning a pension of 1900 yuan per month (~US$230) while the mother was unable to work due to her poor health. They had even sold their only apartment in order for them to afford a trip to Hong Kong.
Yang Lijuan, the daughter, finally met Lau this past week after the family traveled from their home in China’s Lanzhou city. The daughter joined Lau’s fan club and took some pictures with the star on Sunday, but the father still felt unhappy with the meeting. He complained that Lau should have spent more private time and with his daughter, and then threatened his life if the star didn’t.
As a result, the family had no money left after their trip to Hong Kong and had to stay in a 24-hour fast food restaurant for the night. The next day, the 54-year-old wife woke up and noticed her husband was missing then found a letter saying that he hoped the Hong Kong government could take care of his family for him.
In the 12-page suicide note, the father blamed Lau for everything: “My family was reduced to poverty because of you… and you will be cursed and despised for your wrongdoing. You should meet my daughter, give her an autograph and save her life as you are the only one who can touch her heart.”
In previous reports, Yang mentioned how he was planning to sell his kidney for his daughter’s trip to see Lau in Hong Kong - her third trip to the city.
The father died by jumping into Salisbury Sea in Kowloon where his body was later found.
