About Asia Focus

  • In response to the great need for foresight about Asia, IFTF has launched the Asia Focus Program. Asia Focus research topics are large-scale, under-explored areas from which unexpected futures will emerge. It is part of IFTF's flagship program, the Ten-Year Forecast Program, which provides a broad scan of the environment and is a leading source of foresight for a vangard of business, government, and nonprofit organizations.

Andy Lau saves fan; deed shared by fans online

Apparently this was floating around the internet a while ago: a YouTube/youku video featuring Hong Kong mega popstar Andy Lau entitled 德华成都演唱会怒打保安救歌迷 (Andy Lau attacks security at a Chengdu concert to save his fan). The video shows:

  • The fan clambering towards the stage with a bouquet of flowers.
  • The fan shakes Andy Lau's hand, in the middle of a song.
  • The fan gets dragged off and mobbed by a group of security guards.
  • Andy Lau sees this, stops his song and jumps heroically off-stage towards the mob.
  • Andy Lau's mob meets the guard mob.
  • Andy Lau walks the fan out of the venue.

Via YouTube, original video from youku.

I'm particularly impressed by the fact that Mr Lau apparently managed to continue singing throughout the incident. Now that shows real star quality.
