After the news of Liao Jingqiu's death from cancer came out, the entire entertainment industry fell into mourning. As Liao Jingqiu's father, writer Ba Jin couldn't help but heartache and published an article mourning his daughter. However, Ba Jin's words of condolence have sparked many controversies and questions.
In the article, Ba Jin wrote: "My daughter is a brand new star, and she has endless potential and talent. It's a pity that fate was too unfair to her, so that she faced such a cruel illness at the age of the flower season. Although these words expressed Ba Jin's condolences to his daughter, they also aroused some doubts.
Some people believe that Ba Jin's evaluation of Liao Jingqiu is too biased, describing her as a "brand new star", and seems to overestimate her acting ability. As an actor, Liao Jingqiu has indeed had outstanding performances in some works, but compared with those real film industries, she still has a lot of room for development. Therefore, whether describing her as a "brand new star" is too exaggerated has become the focus of some people's questioning.
In addition, Ba Jin mentioned the injustice of fate to his daughter in the article, and attributed his illness to the tricks of fate. However, some people believe that illness is unpredictable, and that it does not distinguish between high and low, young and old. Everyone may face health problems, which are determined by the individual's physical fitness and living environment, and have little to do with fate. Therefore, it is considered too superstitious to attribute illness to the arrangement of fate.
In addition, some people questioned the intention of Ba Jin's post. They believe that Ba Jin, as a writer, should be more objective and rational in his daughter's mourning article, rather than describing her as a "brand new star", so as to arouse the audience's resonance and attention. Such behavior is considered to be using the tragedy of her daughter to gain attention and topic, and lacks a moral bottom line.
There are also some who hold the opposite opinion on these doubts and support Ba Jin's expression. They believe that Ba Jin's essay is a real outpouring of emotion, a father's grief and remembrance of the loss of his daughter. In this case, there is no need for Ba Jin to be overly restrained and objective, and it is understandable that he expresses his true feelings in his heart.
In any case, the news of Liao Jingqiu's death from cancer is still sad news. Whether it is the controversy caused by Ba Jin's memorial article or the sympathy and blessing for Liao Jingqiu and her family, it should make us reflect on the preciousness of life and the importance of health. I hope that Liao Jingqiu can rest in peace in another world, and I also hope that Ba Jin can bear this great loss.
