It turns out that the president of Tsinghua University once worked at the University of Hong Kong, during which he met Brigitte Lin. In addition, Brigitte Lin had received an honorary doctorate from the University of Hong Kong. The president felt that with her well-known status in the film industry, she might be able to provide young people with some guidance in life. Inspired, I invited Brigitte Lin this year.
Unexpectedly, many young people in this class don’t know Brigitte Lin~
Some media went to interview students, and some people said that they had never seen Brigitte Lin’s movies and felt that Brigitte Lin was not attractive to young people;
But there are also People said that they were quite surprised to have Brigitte Lin here because they think she is very "heavyweight" and everyone knows her even if they haven't seen her movies (subtext is they haven't seen her movies yet?)
There are also students I think it may be better to invite industry experts, they will be more interested.
Because some figures in the industry come to give speeches, it may be helpful for students' future employment or further studies.
Many students’ parents were even happier than the students, saying “I saw my childhood idol”!
You must know that Brigitte Lin originally made her debut in Taiwan Province and was well-known for "Outside the Window" in her early years.
later became popular with Liu Jiachang's works such as "Clouds Piao Piao Piao" and "Pure Love", and became a popular female star in the heyday of literary films in the 1970s.
later moved to Hong Kong to develop, and gradually the well-known characters such as Dongfang Bubai in "The Swordsman" appeared.
So it’s no wonder that many young people in Taiwan have never seen Brigitte Lin’s works. TV stations won’t even show her early works, so young people will naturally not revisit them;
And many of Brigitte Lin’s classic big-screen roles are still In Hong Kong movies, if young people don't watch Hong Kong movies very much, they probably won't have a chance to see the heroic style of "The Invincible".
In addition, after marrying into a wealthy family in 1994, Brigitte Lin has basically stopped acting. Without new works, it is naturally difficult to gain fans. For the parents of students, she is just a "memory killer" in their minds.
Having said that, I still have to sigh, time flies so fast~ There was the "unpopular singer Stefanie Sun" in the past, and there is "I don't know Brigitte Lin" in the future. Which generation eats better?
