Brigitte Lin, a legendary actress, will deliver a speech at Tsinghua University, but most students are unfamiliar with her. The ceremony, with Lin as the keynote speaker, has caused confusion among graduates who are asking, 'Who is she?' However, grandparents and parents are thrilled upon hearing the news and are eager to attend their children’s graduation ceremony, turning it into a celebrity-chasing moment for parents. Addressing the unexpected connection, Tsinghua University President Gao Wei Yuan explained that he met Lin in his previous role as Vice President at the University of Hong Kong, where she was awarded an honorary doctorate, forming a close friendship with her. Despite Lin's retirement and being distant from the spotlight for years, her remarkable career and ability to inspire young people led President Gao to personally invite the iconic star to address the graduates. With over 20 years in the film industry, Brigitte Lin's timeless beauty earned her a huge following early in her career, especially through her roles in romantic films adapted from works by renowned Taiwanese author Chiung Yao. Although her prime was before the current graduates were born, evoking no resonance with them, their parents are very interested and encouragingly attending the ceremony in large numbers.
