I think that young people admire pop stars, singers and movie stars, etc is quite reasonable and understandable.

When we were in primary school, most of us if not all of us were told we should live like Leifeng and we should admire scientists or whoever achieved the very high standards by HARD WORK.

But the cruel reality now shows that HARD WORK could not necessarily bring your success or even the feeling of being successful. Think about it, what is more attractive: 1, Zhao Wei became famous and rich almost overnight!
2, People work hard their whole life could not even get enough to support their kids to college?

The pressure of living in the society is huge, people are becoming more and more admire the people become successful overnight - - what is more - - without hard working.

Different people have different idols of their own. That's a kind of choice. If your idol is Liu Hulan, then you cannot force others to follow your choice, right?
Besides, don't all those pop stars deserve admiration? :)

In fac many of those pop stars have a certain kind of spirit from which we can learn something.

imo,it is just a entertainment ,make us feel happy and smile .sometimes pop songs made heart resonance ,we ease from those melodies .some love stories acted by movie stars touched the deep soul of people ,some movies show us a unknown world ,made us exciting ~~~ short escape from the cruel reality.

we admire them not only because they bought us laughters ,partly because we envy their personal achievement and fortune.

Oh Marco, you are free to idolize the late Mr. Polo. I have heard his name but I am not sure how great he is.

the problem is that his name mean nothing to me. I don't feel happy or excited when I heard his name.

Give me Jolin Tsai any day. Just her name being mentioned will sent shivers down my spine. I love her, every bit of her. I eat thinking of Jolin. I sleep thinking of Jolin. I am now thinking of Jolin.

Marco Polo? Who is he? Can he sing? Can he dance?
(Sorry, just kidding!!)

People started to doubt long before if Marco Polo himself ever really came to China:-)

It is said that no sufficient documents or record (at this side) to prove that China had such a guest called Marco Polo during Yuan Dynasty... Who knows? :-)
