She is the tip of his heart, she is his dew edge, but only she can be "on the same level" with Andy Lau, this woman is no one else, she is Zhu Liqian, and also Andy Lau's only wife.

You know, in that special era of fan madness, the marriage of the four kings is generally difficult, Jacky Cheung, Dawn, Aaron Kwok all dared to announce their marriage after the 21st century, coupled with the blocking of the brokerage company, Andy Lau's marriage was once a mystery.
However, as early as 1986, Andy Lau had already met and fell in love with Zhu Liqian, and began a 22-year long love run.
However, due to the good work of secrecy, Andy Lau and Zhu Liqian were in love with the outside world.
In 2009, just when everyone thought that Andy Lau was going to be lonely for life, at a funeral, Andy Lau's figure attracted everyone's attention, and the mystery of the marriage that had been hidden for many years surfaced.
Only then did everyone know that Andy Lau, the King of Heaven, had long been married—and the beautiful woman who was clasped with his ten fingers and glimpsed was his wife, Zhu Liqian.
At that time, Zhu Liqian, who had won the third place in the Penang beauty pageant in Malaysia, had long disappeared from the crowd and disappeared, and the entire entertainment industry only heard of her people, not her name.
However, Andy Lau is different, the four heavenly kings, very popular, everyone said:
"How did Andy Lau fall in love with her?"
However, at that time, the light was reversed, and the nameless pawn Hua Tsai, who was groping and running into walls in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, was not necessarily worthy of Zhu Liqian, the daughter of Malaysia's rich man.
Perhaps, true love is like this, never caring about money and status.
In 1966, zhu Liqian, a rich "little princess" born with a golden spoon, was born in Malaysia, accompanied by only love and applause;
On the other hand, Andy Lau, who is 5 years old, is also experiencing a major life event - his father Liu Li is ambitious and wants to go outside to break out.
Many years later, perhaps Andy Lau's father, Liu Li, may also briefly regret that he gave up the days when he was still relatively stable, but when Andy Lau became famous at a young age, he may not have such a thought.
Of course, this is only an afterthought, that year, The young Andy Lau walked out of the small fishing village of Tai Po in the New Territories for the first time and saw a lot of prosperity in this world.
However, Liu Li's ambition only became a dream of Huang Liang, and it also suffered from this young child.
In order to make a living, the family had to open a small breakfast shop in Diamond Hill in Kowloon, but no matter how hard they worked, the thin income could only barely maintain the livelihood of a family of eight, and anything else was a luxury.
Time has turned and a few years, "little princess" Zhu Liqian has been out of the blue, she reads, dances, travels, countless friends around, life in addition to the occasional worry, is still a good life that countless people can not hope for, and Andy Lau's life is like cloud mud.

Because his family was poor, Andy Lau had a good time going to school, and he had to help his family in his spare time, and he almost never kept up with his schoolwork, so he became a famous "stupid child" in ten miles and eight townships.
However, whether Andy Lau is stupid or not, clear-eyed people should know everything.
In this way, after a few more years, Andy Lau's life seems to have finally ushered in a turnaround.
Although he was very talented in reading, the enlightenment was eventually late, coupled with the poverty of his family and the inability to read, Andy Lau had to drop out of school early to go to the barbershop as an apprentice, but he did not want to learn a lot of fame.
You think, now in the barbershop to see a handsome and handsome hair-washing brother like Andy Lau, how crazy the girl must be, that decades ago, although the grand situation is not as good as today, there must be many girls who find Andy Lau to wash their hair.
Soon, Andy Lau became the living sign of the barbershop, coupled with the fact that he would do things, the boss naturally had a green eye for him, so he taught him to cut his hair in advance.
Because of his some talent, coupled with Hua Tsai's efforts, for a while, Andy Lau became famous by his handsome appearance and good craftsmanship.
I heard that Andy Lau's reputation was so great that Zeng Zhiwei, Jacky Cheung, Tan Yonglin and many other big celebrities came to visit.
However, for Andy Lau, who should naturally belong to the stage, the starlight at this time is only an embellishment after all, he has the road he should take, and he also has a life that is highly anticipated.
In 1981, by chance, Andy Lau entered the artist training class of TVB in Hong Kong, where his life set sail again.
But if you want to think that this is Hua Tsai's first face to face with acting and art, or even think that his long-term popularity for more than forty years depends on this opportunity, then you are very wrong.
As early as during his studies at Hong Kong Keli Secondary School, Andy Lau showed a strong interest in the arts and participated in the performance of the school's drama club.
Perhaps, at that time, he had already formed an indissoluble relationship with art, but the secret of his success, although naturally indispensable to the help of talent and luck, came more from his unremitting efforts.
In 1981, in the same year that Andy Lau entered the TVB artist training class, he starred in the TV series "Goodbye to the Jianghu", although it did not make too much splash, but also won the Special Award for Television Drama at the American Television Festival.
Since then, Andy Lau has worked harder.
In 1982, when Andy Lau graduated from the artist training class, the Grade A results immediately attracted the attention of the Hong Kong film and television giant TVB, and gave him the role of "Jiang Dawei" in "Falcon".
Fortunately, Hua Tsai also lived up to expectations, and although "Falcon" did not win the highest ratings that year, it also caused a lot of sensations.
The following year, when TVB decided to prepare for the filming of "Condor Heroes", Andy Lau immediately partnered Chen Yulian to become the best candidate for "Passing".
If it is said that the "Legend of the Archery Hero" in the Jin Yong drama filmed by TVB in those years has made Weng Meiling, and "Deer Ding" has achieved Chen Xiaochun, then "Divine Eagle Hero" must have achieved Andy Lau.
But what is more legendary is that in the play, the audience is moved by the poignant love between "Guo'er" and her aunt "Little Dragon Girl"; Outside the play, "Passing" will also be moved by the "little dragon girl" Chen Yulian.
However, Chen Yulian and his idol Zhou Runfa fought fiercely at that time, and this relationship was destined to be only his heartbreak alone.
But at that time, Andy Lau did not know that with the popularity of "Condor Heroes", his peach blossoms had spread all over the world, including his future wife, Zhu Liqian, a flower girl who was only 16 years old that year - and this also became an opportunity for the two to meet in a few years.
In 1984, when 18-year-old Zhu Liqian participated in the Miss New Wave contest and was asked about the ideal boyfriend candidate, she replied without hesitation: "Andy Lau! ”
At that time, how many girls were "mistaken for life at first sight of Yang", so the audience, even herself, thought that this sentence was just a joke, but did not want to become a slur later.
However, compared with her, Mui Yanfang, who said similar things, the daughter of Hong Kong, was later certified by Andy Lau as a confidant of The Red Face many times, but she was much more unfortunate than her.
(Mei Yanfang)
In many interviews that can still be seen, Mei Yanfang did not shy away from saying: "Marry Andy Lau when you marry someone!" ”
At that time, the Hong Kong media also ridiculed: "If Hua Tsai proposes to Mui Yanfang, then she will definitely agree!" ”
However, until Mei Yanfang died, she waited for hua tsai's companionship as a friend.
Perhaps, some fates are really not first-come, first-served, but have been predestined before.
Before meeting Zhu Liqian, Andy Lau had fallen in love with his first love Lin Anqi, had fallen in love with his predecessor Yu Kexin, and had also been moved by the great beauties Chen Yulian and Guan Zhilin, but he had only stopped for Zhu Liqian in the kaleidoscope.
In 1986, Zhu Liqian, who once again won the cover of Malaysia's "New Wave" magazine, was proud of her spring breeze and became a hot rising star in the entertainment industry, but she did not want to be sad on the other side of Andy Lau.
Because he refused TVB's five-year contract, Andy Lau's career has been repeatedly unhappy, although there are many good friends in the circle to help, Andy Lau has not disappeared, but the popularity is not as good as before.
Therefore, that year, Andy Lau, who was at the trough of his career, had to follow the Hong Kong star football team of his predecessor Tam Wing Lin to play in Malaysia.
And it just so happened that this time the activity across the continent and the ocean made Andy Lau meet Zhu Liqian.
At that time, although Andy Lau did not fall in love with Zhu Liqian at first sight, he was still deeply impressed by the bright teeth of the girl who took the initiative to talk to him, and she was dignified and courteous.
In the subsequent contact, Andy Lau was deeply attracted by the girl's inner feelings, and even had the desire to spend a lifetime together.
However, time and distance are still realistic, and eventually become an insurmountable gulf in the relationship between the two, "Lang has feelings, concubines have intentions", this feeling that both of them know has become an unspeakable secret, and finally, Hua Tsai still looks at the future without an ending, and turns around and embarks on the plane back to China with this love.
However, emotion eventually triumphed over reason, and after returning to China, Hua Tsai still involuntarily wanted to get closer to Zhu Liqian, so for this feeling, Andy Lau at that time always frequently traveled between Hong Kong and Malaysia.
The love is obvious enough, even if the media is slow, it can always catch the clues, and it is not long before the news of Andy Lau's secret love affair with the woman surnamed Zhu spread boiling over.
But at this time, Zhu Liqian, who is tired of the flashy and flashy of the entertainment industry, only wants to escape from the spotlight, in order to protect her, Andy Lau has never admitted this relationship, and this secret is 22 years.
However, looking back now, when Andy Lau's side is less than Zhu Liqian's figure, people rarely know her, but because Hua Tsai is well protected enough, and this is also because she deserves it.
In 1988, Zhu Liqian, who was distressed by Andy Lau's bumps in the two places, took the initiative to ask her father to invest in the seafood business in Hong Kong, and she and her sister also left home to sign up for Zheng Mingming's beauty course in Hong Kong.
But studying in the end is a cover, soon there will be media photographed near the beauty school Andy Lau figure, there are rumors later that Zhu Liqian borrowed to live in Andy Lau's friend's house, the two secretly dated here every time.
Probably the right person was chosen, this year, the two have a closer relationship, and Andy Lau's career has also ushered in a turnaround.
Although Andy Lau's tragic snow hiding occurred in 1985, before he had "Yang Jiajun" and "Extralegal Affairs" and other masterpieces, but in the end more than 400 days almost disappeared in the entertainment industry.
Therefore, even when Andy Lau returned from Malaysia in 1986, under the personal mediation of the big man Run Run Shaw, the relationship with TVB gradually eased, and his return road was not as smooth as expected.
But coincidentally, the good news of the two here is continuous, and Andy Lau turned around and received the nomination for the Academy Award, and in the same year, he also went out of the circle because of the cooperation with Ye Huixian again in "The Inside story of the Law".
The following year, it was rumored that Zhu Liqian had directly stayed at Andy Lau's residence in Saixi Lake, and some people even saw the two walking hand in hand by the nearby lake.
By 1990, the Hong Kong media even broke the news that Andy Lau had jointly bought a house with Zhu Liqian, and since then, no matter how much Andy Lau's scandals are flying around, Zhu Liqian's name is always closely related to him.
In 1992, Andy Lau cooperated with the great beauty Guan Zhilin for filming "The Obsessive Sword of the Ninety-Two Divine Eagle Heroes", and the male and female were beautiful, and natural scandals began to fly all over the sky.
However, when the media asked about the relationship between Guan Zhilin and the two, Guan Zhilin bluntly said that there were already very good people around Hua Tsai, and now that she thinks about it, this person is probably Zhu Liqian.
The entertainment industry, Vanity Fair, seems to be bright and beautiful, but in fact, it is more of a secret struggle, involuntarily, Rao is as powerful as Andy Lau, but also has countless bitterness and helplessness.
But for Andy Lau, the lamp that Zhu Liqian left for him every time he went home was probably his greatest comfort.
From the acquaintance in 1986 to the public in 2008, in the past 22 years, there have been more than 8,000 days and nights, and Zhu Liqian has waited like this.
It is said that in the most popular years, Andy Lau only had 4 weeks of vacation a year, and only 2 weeks could be divided into Zhu Liqian, but Zhu Liqian had never had any complaints, how many years of a woman's youth, this woman completely gambled herself into it, gambling right is the winner of life, gambling is a lifetime, fortunately, Andy Lau never wanted to let her lose.
Later, a flight attendant broke the news that she had seen Andy Lau looking at Zhu Liqian's photo on the plane, and her eyes were full of affection.
In 2008, at the funeral of Zhu's father, Andy Lau also firmly guarded his lover who was full of red eyes.
When Andy Lau rarely talked about his wife Zhu Liqian in "Lu Yu Has a Day Trip" in 2019, he also said that the two had decided to be together forever in 1997.
Then he went so far as to say, "She loves herself more than I do." ”
Life in the world, once the car was slow, it was already difficult for two people to meet, and it was not easy to carry each other through 22 years, on June 23, 2008, Andy Lau and Zhu Liqian finally got married in the romantic Las Vegas.
In 2012, their daughter Liu Xianghui was born, and the love between the two finally turned into the happiness of 3 people, and Andy Lau has since incarnated as a "daughter slave" and a "spoiled wife demon".
At the 2015 fan meeting, in the face of the crowd of fans, Andy Lau held his wife's hand, hugged his lovely daughter, and said affectionately: "I want to introduce my two babies to you." ”
It is not easy to fall in love, it is even more difficult to stay together, Zhu Liqian exchanged 22 years of invisibility for true love, Hua Tsai understands that her efforts have given her the love that everyone envies, and also let us understand that the original 12 years of love after marriage are not dreams.
