Shang Wenjie, the lastest Supergirl.

Successful entrepreneurs have surpassed pop stars as college students' idols, a recent Fudan University survey has found.
In the survey, which sampled 150 students from different grades and departments, 96 chose successful entrepreneurs as their idols, 91 added scientists and scholars to the list, while only some 75 opted for stars of stage and screen.
The results toppled the old perception that young college students are most impressed by the stars of shows.
Fudan's students seemed not to be influenced too much by popular TV shows and new stars, despite the latest Supergirl, Shang Wenjie having graduated from the university last year.
"It's normal for students to have traditional ideas about the qualities an idol should have. They think of idols as people who have made a great contribution to society. These kinds of ideas aren't easily changed by TV shows," said Zhen Zhiwei, a second-year post-graduate student who conducted the survey.
But students do have new standards for selecting idols. Some students voted for ordinary people and even fictional characters, such as Harry Potter.
"It reveals the diversity of students' standards," Zhen said. "Under the influence of pop culture, some students now view fictional figures as their idols. They see the same qualities in thosefictional figuresas in other real people.
"We are also delighted to see that more and more students are concerned with the roles ordinary people play in society. Wealth, social status and fame are not the only standards they use to select idols."
The survey also revealed that 57% college students do not want to be idols for others.
"The result can be regarded as a good illustration for why most of them choose successful entrepreneurs and scholars as their idols," said Zhen. "They have high expectations for idols, so they believe that to be an idol means having to take on more responsibilities and pressure than other people, and they are not ready to take so much responsibility yet."

復旦大學所做的一項最新調查顯示，如今大學生最崇拜的偶像已不再是娛樂明星，而是成功企業家。
來自復旦大學不同年級、不同專業的150名學生參加了此項調查。調查顯示，共96名學生將“成功企業家”視為偶像，91名學生選擇“科學家和學者”為偶像，而只有約75名學生視娛樂明星為偶像。
這項調查的結果說明，娛樂明星已不再是青年學生最為“崇拜”的偶像。
雖然復旦大學去年的畢業生尚雯婕奪得今年“超女”決賽的總冠軍，但復旦大學的學生對選秀節目和新人氣偶像的熱情并不是很高。
負責此項調查的研二學生甄志偉說：“大學生抱有傳統偶像觀很正常，他們認為'偶像'應該是那些為社會做出突出貢獻的人。這種偶像觀不會因選秀節目的風靡而輕易改變。”
但是，如今的大學生也有了一些新的偶像標準。普通人，甚至像哈里·波特這樣的虛構人物也成為一部分大學生的偶像。
甄志偉說：“這表明如今大學生的偶像觀趨于多元化。由于受到流行文化的影響，有些學生甚至將虛構人物視為偶像，因為他們在這些虛構人物身上能看到與現實人物相同的品質。”
“同時，我們發現越來越多的大學生開始關注普通人在社會中發揮的作用，這是十分可喜的。可見，財富、社會地位和名譽并不是大學生定義偶像的唯一標準。”
此外，調查顯示，57%的大學生不想成為別人的偶像。
甄志偉說：“這可以解釋為什么大部分學生將成功企業家和學者視為偶像。他們對偶像的期望值都很高，所以，他們認為能成為'偶像'的人承擔的責任和壓力要比別人多，而現在他們還無法承擔起這些責任。”
