A person can be called a star for a while, and can be called an idol only if he can be popular for a lifetime, and such long-term prosperity is more difficult in the ever-changing entertainment industry, and Andy Lau is probably the first representative of China's male stars.
This man struggled all the way from a poor family, sang and filmed in the entertainment industry, and eventually became a well-known Uranus superstar in Asia and even the world, with influence throughout several generations, popular for decades, and now in his sixties, he is still a national idol, which can be described as rare.
But in front of such a "popular lover", who can become the true love of his life? This is probably a question that many people are curious about, Andy Lau's fame everyone has heard, but his wife, who has only a soft spot all his life, everyone does not know much.
Hua Tsai is so praised, which is naturally not unrelated to his excellent character, and his wife who has been standing behind him is also inseparable.
Zhu Liqian, this is a woman who is not well-known, the only thing people know about her is probably the title of Mrs. Andy Lau, but in fact, she was not only born in a super-rich family in Malaysia, but also amazing in appearance and posture when she was young, and won the title of Miss Malaysia Beauty Pageant at the age of eighteen.
But after that, she and Andy Lau fell in love, in order to take care of her lover's career, she was willing to remain anonymous and supported Hua Tsai for 22 years without getting married and not getting a name, what kind of return was this touching effort in the end?
Zhu Liqian was born on April 6, 1966 in Penang, Malaysia, their family came to Nanyang from the coast of China to do business in the early years, and later entered the real estate business, creating a huge business group, ranking among the top three in Malaysia, sitting on tens of billions of family wealth, can be described as a local rich and powerful family.
Zhu Liqian's family has five siblings in addition to herself, she ranks third, as a daughter, Zhu Liqian does not have the great pressure to inherit the family business, she has lived under extremely superior material conditions since she was a child, and she is a veritable Miss Qianjin.
The first half of her life was completely in accordance with the standards of wealthy women, cultivating temperament, cultural level, studying abroad, but relatively loose, after all, she was born to win at the starting line, and other peers are incomparable.
When Zhu Liqian was a teenager, she also wanted to go out and see after living in purdah for a long time, and at that time, the trend of holding "Miss Beauty Pageant" was prevalent around the world, and Malaysia was no exception, and Zhu Liqian pulled a sister and decisively signed up for the "New Wave Beauty Pageant". ”
It was when she was youngest, originally from a wealthy family greatly cultivated her extraordinary temperament, coupled with her natural beauty, her appearance is completely better than those female stars in the entertainment industry, as well as her gentle personality, dance skills practiced since childhood, so that Zhu Liqian won the titles of "Miss Trendy Third Runner-up" and "Miss Trendy Magazine Cover" in one fell swoop.
As a complete novice, her results were already quite amazing, but a few years later, when Zhu Liqian was eighteen years old, she competed again and won the championship in one fell swoop.
Since then, Zhu Liqian has wandered the fashion circle, appeared on the cover of magazines many times, and became a well-known beauty in Malaysia.
At that time, Andy Lau in Hong Kong had already become a film and television, singer and amphibious artist, and Yang Guo, the protagonist he played in Jin Yong's martial arts drama "The Condor Heroes", received numerous awards.
But in 1985, Hong Kong TVB TV directly proposed to renew the contract with the powerful actor for five years after Andy Lau's new drama "Yang Jiajiang" was completed, but the salary conditions were very unfair, and the angry Andy Lau decisively refused, and as a result, he was directly hidden for more than a year.
This is the situation of Hua Tsai at that time, although he finally got ahead with his strength, but after all, he had no background and his personality was unwilling to soften, so his career still had ups and downs.
In the time hidden in the snow, Andy Lau's drama road was cut off, basically could not shoot any films, in order to support life, he could only participate in some small activities everywhere, but he did not expect that because of this series of chances, he met the woman who later accompanied him.
In early 1986, Andy Lau was invited by the Hong Kong Star Football Team to Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, to stand for a friendly match, which was an ordinary event for the former star Andy Lau.
At that time, influenced by Western culture, Dicso dance was very popular in Asia, and those who caught the trend used it as a way to socialize, and Zhu Liqian learned to dance since she was a child, and as a beauty pageant, she was also exposed to this trend of dance early on and danced very well.
She had just been elected Miss the cover of Malaysian fashion magazine New Wave with 5,369 votes the year before, so she was also invited to the after-friendly reception.
Zhu Liqian originally liked the young and handsome Andy Lau on the screen, but she didn't expect her curvaceous figure and outstanding temperament on the dance floor to also make Andy Lau move at first sight, and the two looked at each other so correctly after dancing a song together, and left each other's contact information.
The first meeting between Zhu Liqian and Andy Lau was not so turbulent, and after that, they also experienced a long period of separation between the two places.
Andy Lau signed a fair contract after reconciling with TVB under the mediation of Run Run Shaw, and re-entered the period of rapid development of his acting career, starring in a series of films such as "True Destiny", "Sirius Robbery", "Best Lucky Star", etc., continuing to move forward towards the road of Uranus superstar.
Zhu Liqian is essentially different from Andy Lau, the latter struggled to get some things, Zhu Liqian was born, in the past she participated in various beauty pageants, but also for leisure time, now seeing that the man she likes is busy with his career, she decided to focus on supporting Andy Lau.
After the two separated, Zhu Liqian was still working as a graphic model, she missed Andy Lau very much but it was difficult to meet, and the two could only relieve their loneliness by phone from a long distance, which was extremely difficult.
More than a year later, Zhu Liqian went to Hong Kong to manage part of her family's restaurant business in Hong Kong and study beauty at the same time, but suddenly left her hometown where she grew up and went to Hong Kong alone.
Learning something that has never been learned, originally in Malaysia has a successful career and is not small, the reason why Zhu Liqian made such a decision, I believe that no matter who can see it.
Zhu Liqian is not like many ordinary women who hope to marry celebrities and thus become rich, she herself is the son of a wealthy family, although the restaurant business is just an excuse, but her parents did buy a number of restaurant properties in Hong Kong in order to let their daughter have a place to stay, and specially purchased a number of restaurant properties to take care of her.
With Andy Lau's status at that time, he actually entered the "giant" of Zhu Liqian, but the latter was willing to bury his name for him because of his strong love.
The celebrity scandal could not be covered at all, and soon after, the paparazzi photographed Andy Lau and Zhu Liqian walking on the street holding hands, and more than once, contacting the cause and effect, this matter was quickly fired in the headlines.
But Andy Lau is in the golden development period of his career at this time, and the sudden exposure of the love affair will have very bad consequences for him, and how he and Zhu Liqian discuss behind our backs is unknown, but the final result is that Andy Lau quickly came forward to clarify that Zhu Liqian and himself are not a couple.
It may be difficult for any woman to accept her lover saying such a statement in front of the public, but Zhu Liqian did not say anything, she showed great tolerance and understanding, and chose to fully support her lover's career and dreams.
But it's easy to say, but it's difficult to do, a male star who is in the sky, the peach-colored scandal is almost impossible to get rid of, and before he delays disclosing his legitimate girlfriend to the public, Zhu Liqian will inevitably be in an embarrassing situation of an underground affair for a long time, especially when she can find a rich son who is the right door, this kind of forbearance is sincere.
Sure enough, in the time that followed, Andy Lau was helplessly involved in many scandals, and some women even hyped up his name, but in the face of such embarrassment, Zhu Liqian never said anything.
Later, because Andy Lau and Zhu Liqian were repeatedly photographed with various peers, their relationship could no longer be contained, such as in 1989, Zhu Liqian was found living in the Saimaxihu apartment under Andy Lau's name, but although the outside world knew it, the couple remained silent and never announced anything.
After that, even the media couldn't stand it, and they began to attack Andy Lau, asking him why he didn't announce Zhu Liqian's true identity until now, and whether he wanted to find another love.
Andy Lau was under such pressure, plus he himself desperately wanted to disclose his lover, so he applied to the company many times, but was rejected one by one.
In 2005, Yu Kexin, his girlfriend who once had a relationship with Andy Lau, directly published a book called "Love Sea and Starry Sky: Me and Andy Lau" without his permission, which was sold out as soon as it was released, and Yu Kexin described in detail the story of their love and entanglement together.
Zhu Liqian's mood when she saw this book can be imagined, but she still did not express her position in the end.
With the support of his wife sparing no effort, Andy Lau's career is indeed developing rapidly, after 2000 is his golden peak, from a big-name star to a Uranus superstar to a difficult breakthrough, starring in "Infernal Affairs", "No Thieves in the World", "Ten Faces Ambush" and other classic blockbusters are also screened one by one, completely establishing his unshakable position in the Chinese film industry.
By this time, Andy Lau no longer cared about the pressure from the outside world, he knew how deep his wife's feelings for him were, but along the way, he never forgot to compensate her for a name and a wedding.
So in 2008, Andy Lau took Zhu Liqian to attend a Buddhist charity event publicly, and according to the regulations, only relatives can jointly attend, so the meaning is very clear.
In June of the same year, the two officially took the throne and married in Las Vegas, USA, and just a year later, Andy Lau's father died suddenly, and he also appeared with Zhu Liqian again at the funeral.
From meeting in 1986 to getting married in 2008, in this twenty-two years of underground romance, many people inevitably have to complain about Zhu Liqian, but in fact, her life can not be described as unhappy.
Andy Lau knows what he owes, so his attitude towards his wife is simply very good, when he is busiest at work, there is only one month of rest a year, and his arrangement is: half to accompany his parents, and the other half to accompany Zhu Liqian.
And usually when Zhu Liqian went out, her husband would arrange a number of bodyguards for her to accompany her, once when encountering paparazzi secretly photographed, a bodyguard Cang suddenly covered Zhu Liqian to get into the car, but accidentally let her foot be caught by the car door, which was originally also an unintentional mistake, but the always gentle and tolerant Hua Tsai was furious and immediately fired the bodyguard.
After more than 20 years of ups and downs, Zhu Liqian's indifference ushered in a happy life for her, before the relationship was exposed, she was well taken care of by her husband, and after the relationship was exposed, Andy Lau praised his wife in public, and directly expressed his debt to her several times.
In 2012, Zhu Liqian gave birth to Andy Lau's lovely daughter Liu Xianghui in Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital, and then Andy Lau immediately invited his wife and daughter to the stage at a concert in the same year and made a grand introduction.
Andy Lau and Zhu Liqian's relationship can be described as interpreting the highest state of love - passion lingering but dew, and plain support can work together for a lifetime, especially in Zhu Liqian's eyes, there is no grievance, forbearance, no Uranus superstar, actor Andy Lau, only a husband he loves deeply.
