When an idol's positive image reaches a certain level and represents something uplifting, they can influence society. At that point, an idol can also be called a role model.

Top Picks from a 15-Year Veteran Reader
I started reading novels in 2002, when Zhu Xian was just beginning to take off. I've read continuously ever since, finishing roughly one every two weeks. That adds up to several thousand books, and I've definitely read billions of words. Here are some recommendations: five completed books and five new ones.
Easygoing Fanfiction, No Real-World Headaches, Just Idealistic Escapism
Real life is stressful enough, so when I read fiction, I prefer a high starting point from the start. I generally include lighthearted stories, farming stories, and tales of invincibility. I recommend the EVA fanfic To the Cowardly, a Heart of Iron. I also recommend Mulan: No Older Brother, a story about transmigrating into Hua Mulan.
