广播听力: Recent Drug Bust by Pop Singer Raises Concerns

A Chinese pop singer has been detained for alleged drug-use in a nightclub in Beijing.

The public image of this entertainment celebrity is that of a responsible man whose name is generally associated with charity work.(www.hXen.com)

A commentary from the 'Beijing Youth Daily' attributes such deeds to the tremendous pressures associated with the entertainment industry and the raunchy life style of its insiders.

The writer also gives the example of another singing star's drug taking who became even more popular after being detained.

The article raises the question as to whether these entertainment stars have been overwhelmingly spoiled by the public.

It says that besides winning great applause and great fortune, these people have been given many privileges by society. They should be expected to set favourable examples for the young people and fans who look up to them.
