Andy Lau, who has been popular for more than 40 years since his debut, is regarded as a Chinese A phenomenal celebrity in the entertainment industry, he is also the idol ceiling for "unifying the aesthetics of three generations". Although he is 62 years old this year and has already reached the "retirement age", due to the blessings of time and self-discipline, he not only has a well-maintained appearance, but also is in good physical condition. His workload and exposure even exceed that of many young artists. .
But time is not forgiving after all, especially concerts, which are high-intensity, high-density, and extremely physical work, will still make people sweat. Seeing that "Hua Tsai" who is over 60 years old is so desperate and performs "extreme sliding and kneeling" on a high platform, everyone will feel frightened and worried, which is also a normal reaction. After all, everyone comes to the concert to feel the charm of music and gain relaxation and happiness. No one wants to see their favorite singer get into an accident while performing hard.

Celebrities have a large number of fans and a wide audience, especially an "evergreen" in the entertainment industry like Andy Lau, whose words and deeds may spread quickly, attract attention, and be discussed. To be followed, to be imitated. Therefore, the public performance of celebrities has to consider the social impact. There is no doubt about Andy Lau's dedication, but dangerous actions beyond the necessary scope do make many people feel scared and worried, thus questioning the safety of the concert and triggering public criticism. On the other hand, if this action attracts attention because of its thrilling nature and becomes a trend, it may lead to follow-up and imitation, leading to greater and more widespread safety risks.
This is not alarmist or making a mountain out of a molehill. Previously, many celebrities caused public criticism because they did not consider their own influence and ignored important norms such as civility and safety when interacting with the public. For example, actor Jia Qing once took pictures in the middle of Route 66 in Zhongwei, Ningxia, in order to "check in" and was warned by the local traffic police. Even an apology failed to quell criticism from netizens; actor Yang Mi also once checked in to challenge difficult actions because he kept up with the trend. "waist", was accused of setting a bad example, and finally deleted his blog and apologized. It can be seen that some trends cannot be followed randomly, and some challenges are not necessary. It is an indispensable and necessary accomplishment for public figures to consider the social impact in everything and protect their own safety while avoiding negative emotions and influence on the public.
Andy Lau quickly apologized and promptly stopped dangerous actions, allowing people to see his sense of social responsibility as a public figure. While pursuing the ultimate on the stage, he is also good at self-reflection, has the courage to take responsibility, and cares about public safety. Such a benign demonstration has resolved the crisis of public opinion and set an example in the industry. I hope that all celebrities and celebrities with a certain degree of influence will take "safety first" at heart. They should not only care about their own safety, but also take into account the safety of their work partners and the public around them. Only safe performances can continue to be exciting. , only by ensuring safety can we "finally realize our dreams."
