The
last commercial movie that Moon Lee acted in was probably before 1997 or
thereabouts, yet her notoriety continues unabated even today. So many years after her screen presence, one
must assume that her “fame” was sustained only by her incredible and perverse
sexual misconduct that although, started in 2004, the disastrous effect
continued for countless years afterwards.
Weekly,
Chinese cyberspace continues to bring back stories of her unexplainable sexual
escapade. Attached here is a photo from
another recent internet re-telling of the infamous scandal that brought down
one of the darlings of Hong Kong kungfu films.
The factual story seems to me as being very old indeed and yet it
maintains unrelenting fascination. However,
I am most baffled by the undying interest in a subject so mundane regarding a
personality that should be long forgotten.
After all, since the scandal, Moon Lee had not done anything interesting
or impactful by any measure.
Partly,
Moon Lee should bear some responsibility.
Instead of allowing her old “celebrity” status to slip away quietly, she
keeps feeding her Chinese online awareness by writing useless essays on her
sina.com blog. Of course, none of this
adds any wisdom or useful information for the world. It only fuels continued interest by
cyberspace fans most of whom are rather senseless and have way more free time
than they deserve.
Since
this scandalized over-the-hill celebrity is desirous of continued publicity, I
would volunteer to “fuel the fire” by offering some older (before the scandal)
and newer (after the scandal) photos of Moon Lee for all to “enjoy”. What a dramatic change in her life! Let interested readers guess what is what.
One
day in the future, if Moon Lee decides to go lower profile and gives up flaunting
herself, then I would willingly stop helping her propaganda. When cyberspace media forgets her, we will
both live in more peace.
