Moon Lee’s Fool’s Paradise

In a recent blog essay, Moon Lee was boasting of her lifestyle in which she can do whatever she wants.  And anyone that is envious of her is as much of a fool as she is.  It is unbelievable that she continues to waste time writing at intervals to a limited number of Chinese fans through her Chinese sina.com blog site.  Who cares what that ignorant group thinks anyway?  Since Moon is hell-bent on maintaining her nebulous “celebrity” status, I might as well help her along among the more sensible English-speaking group of readers. 

Let me assure interested people worldwide that Moon Lee cannot be living a satisfying life --- and that is purely something of her own doing!  During the times that I knew her well, I was certain that she wanted to be a person of substance.  She was brought up under impoverished circumstances as a child.  Her stardom that started at age seventeen or so was her new grand meal ticket that guided her lifestyle for the subsequent two decades.  With such meager beginnings and yet evolving into a beloved local movie star in Hong Kong and Asia was indeed a great Cinderella story.  I remembered she really got involved enthusiastically with Chinese dancing and the major theatrical works that we were producing.  It was major international accomplishment that would help to replace her movie career.

However, her downfall was triggered by an unbelievable sex scandal entirely of her own making.  Which Chinese movie star in history was dumb enough to have a prolonged affair with an initially under-aged employee (over twenty-years younger), someone we subsequently recognized as our “adoptive son”.  This was a scandal of world proportions because it involved an under-aged component, an incestuous element and also included the factor of “sexual harassment” in the workplace.  In 2004, it started when the foolhardy kid was under eighteen years of age while Moon was one of his employers.  There was no way of avoiding a world-class scandal of unprecedented proportions.  That is why the darn matter has so many legs so many years later.

So this workaholic old time “celebrity” with goals of history-making career success is now happy at home living the life of: 1) keeping her location secret; 2) keeping any work secret; 3) watching television freely; 4) cooking at home freely; 5) cultivating house plants freely; and 6) hiding her son and his endeavors secret. 

These pretenses are grossly embarrassing.  So if Moon Lee will only hide, for certain, there would be less SHAME.

   

The world knows that this was a world class sacrifice!
