What We Can Learn from Edison Chen

What We Can Learn from Edison Chen
At first, I have to say that I am not a fan of Edison Chen. I feel very disgusted about his pictures of sex and I deprive his rascal behavior. However, at the same time, we still can learn something from him.
Overall, Edison is a person who cannot be easily defeated. When his pictures of sex were given away and spread around on the internet, he was criticized to be a man of bad moral because what he did would do great harm to the atmosphere of our society and would not be acknowledged by citizens. Under the gigantic pressure, he announced that he had to quit the performing circle of HK immediately and never came back. At that time, most of people just as me even felt pity about him. As for that case, we all thought it was not his fault. We could understand that some people had some idiosyncrasies. After all Edison is just an ordinary people who is like us and has basic desires. That man who pretended to repair his PC but actually gave those pictures out was the real person to blame and be punished. But his promising future was completely ruined by this ‘small’ incident. But now, I find that I am too naïve. Quitting the circle of performing is just an excuse. In the other word, he just played a word games that he just acted in other cities not HK. Even he regarded it as a progressing which could get him access to Hollywood. He also made fames by this dramatically. Facing a great struck which even can destroy him and destined to be a scapegoat, he got free of punishment by a trick rather than stayed paralyzed. When his father got bankruptcy and he owed others near 50 million HK dollars, he never felt frustrated and wanted to suicide. He carried on acting in another movie and withstood the pressure. This definitely proves his great confidence and courage.
Second, Edison is also a man who never feels ashamed. Although he acknowledged his faults of sex pictures, he never felt ashamed on what he did. What’s more, when his father got bankrupt owing to his trouble, he never felt guilty; when he acted a role of hero in the brand new movie ‘sniper’, he never felt he didn’t deserve it. When one of twins (music band) sued him, he still defended for himself and refused to apologize. In summary, although he did a lot things make everybody disgusted, he has never admitted ashamed towards them.
This is actually we can learn from Edison Chen. When we come to Singapore, we have already been confronted a lot of problems and we are also going to come across more in the future. When we meet difficulties, we may feel depressed even inferior. For instance, the result of science examination last week may make most of us disappointed. Some even felt hopeless and even felt that he was not capable of handling of the studies in university and would be driven back by MOE in the future. However, at that time, we need to think about Edison twice. Do not give up so easily and never feel ashamed. Let us move on and it still has long way to go in the next 4 years. Take it easy and everything will get to be better.

  1. I agree with you that Edison Chen is really a tough-minded person and he cannot be easily defeated. I think that he really did wrong with the sex photos. He should be ashamed and apologize. We can learn from his tough-minded to stay strong when we come across some obstacles. But I think that we should be ashamed when we do something wrong. As in the science exam, I think that we should be ashamed if we did not get a good mark because there are some students who really did a good job. The reason is that we did not work hard on our science faculty and we should blame ourselves. But we should not be defeated because we still have more challenges. We should have the confidence to study well with our effort.

  2. In terms of the incident, Edison Chen is a victim, which can be understood very easily.Of course, what he had done will never be immoral,in my opinion. Besides, we should recognize such a fact that if the incident is a plot and you-know-who is Edison Chen, then he deserves punishment from law. However, we can make such a conclusion without too many efforts that he is not you-know-who. It is impossible that one puts hinself in such trouble unless he has any ulterior intention. So far, we cannot see he benefit from the incident except sufferings in emotion and career.
