Bodyguards unnecessary

It's meaningless to hire bodyguards for popular authors like Yu Dan when they meet fans fact to face, says an article on the website of Jiangxi News Online. The following is an excerpt:

On October 12, Guo Jingming signed and sold copies of his latest book titled Xiao Shi Dai (which literally means Petty Times) at a bookstore in Baoding, Hebei province, attracting thousands of teenager fans who put the situation at the store out of control for several times. At last, the police dispersed the crowds on the spot, halting the book-selling activity.

The glass doors of the bookstore were smashed. Guo had two bodyguards with him at that time.
