Singers, actors, painters and many other famous people all have to face the dangers of fame (名声). Wherever they go, people turn up to greet them. Some fans even do something crazy just to see their well-known face, touch their clothes or see them smile. The stars are always surrounded by newspapermen, TV reporters and photographers (摄影师).
Fame brings them quite a lot of money, so they can have easier lives than other people. They live in beautiful houses with housekeepers(管家), gardeners and cooks, but the money does not bring them happiness. The next thing is stress (压力).
