HONG KONG superstar Andy Lau went to see a psychiatrist after he came to know that the father of a fan had committed suicide, China Press reported.
Lau had disclosed this during an interview with a daily newspaper in Tianjin City recently.
Lau said he felt regretful over the incident in 2007, when his fan's 63-year-old father, a retired middle school teacher, committed suicide.
Lau's fan, Yang Lijuan, from Shenzen, has been fanatical about him for 13 years and yearned very much to see him in person.
The father even sold their house to raise money for his daughter to attend Lau's concerts in Hong Kong.
One day, after the father managed to help his 29-year-old daughter finally meet Lau, he jumped into the Salisbury sea in Hong Kong.
According to a report in chinadaily.com.cn, the father even left behind a letter pleading for Lau to meet his daughter for a second time.
Lau said the scariest thing after the incident was when he was flooded with a few hundred calls and over 3,000 SMSes every day from unknown callers threatening: 'You don't see me, I want to die.'

Lau said he sought help from a psychiatrist after two weeks as he became terrified when his phone rang and he had trouble sleeping.
When asked if he feared losing his fans if he talked about his marriage, Lau denied the suggestion and said he had other reasons.
However, he said now was not the time to reveal the reasons.
