In 1990, Carina Lau was kidnapped by four gang members for more than 3 hours for refusing to participate in a less serious movie, and was also photographed indecently.
Fortunately, Chen Huimin, who was filming with Tony Leung at the time (he also had a high-level identity as a high-ranking member of the 14K gang), stepped forward to help solve the problem and successfully recaptured the photo and protected Carina Lau's reputation.
The name Chen Huimin may already be unfamiliar to many people, but this August, he re-emerged in a movie called "The Infernal War", and it was amazing how he performed.
However, many people may not know that before he became an actor, Chen Huimin was the leader of "14K", one of the three major triad organizations in Hong Kong, and a highly respected "big brother of the rivers and lakes".
His life is full of legends, including a fight with Sammo Hung, a conflict with Bruce Lee's son, and the resolution of the blockbuster Carina Lau kidnapping case.
In addition, he knocked out a Japanese boxing champion in just 35 seconds, stories that form part of Chen's legendary life.
When Chan Huimin was 16 years old, he joined 14K, the largest gangster organization in Hong Kong at the time, because he needed to earn a living.
With his excellent martial arts skills, Chen Huimin, who was only 25 years old, rose to the position of double red stick within 14K, a status second only to the boss in the gang.
His fame spread quickly, and one of the most famous events was the fight with Fat Boy Kun.
Fat Boy Kun was a notorious gang leader, while Lame Hao, who later became very famous, was only his subordinate at the time.
Once, Fat Zikun took Chen Huimin and a bodyguard to a restaurant for dinner. Suddenly, four masked attackers with knives broke in, and the bodyguard was slashed five times before he could react, killing him on the spot.
Four assassins rushed towards Fat Boy Kun. Just as he was about to start, Chen Huimin shouted loudly and resolutely stepped forward.
He first blocked a knife with his own body, then knocked down the four assassins with his empty hand, and finally escaped safely with Fat Boy Kun.
Chen Huimin's feat made him famous in a fight, not only won the trust of Fat Zikun, but also the members of 14K regarded him as a hero.
From then on, no one disrespected him, and his status climbed the ladder, eventually dominating nightclubs in the Tsim Sha Tsui area.
Every time he shouted in the street, within ten seconds, more than 30 of his men would come to support him.
At that time, there was a street in Hong Kong named after Chan Wai Man, which is enough to show how high his status was. He is often accompanied by dozens of bodyguards, and if anyone dares to provoke him, don't expect it to be better.
At the peak of his career, his words were enough to make the entire Tsim Sha Tsui region tremble.
His fame and influence at the time were definitely comparable to the martial arts superstar Bruce Lee of that period.
At that time, whether it was a gangster or the right way, there were people involved with Chen Waimin, who was one of the most well-known gang leaders in Hong Kong at that time, and almost everyone knew him.
Impressively, despite being a gang boss, he also maintains a legally reasonable status.
Especially after he joined the film and television industry, his image became whiter than paper.
His business empire expanded to unprecedented heights, but he never involved improper activities. Even when he hears someone call himself an "American," he is indignant and merciless.
And the person who said this was none other than Bruce Lee's son Li Guohao. Although Li Guohao began his acting career by relying on the aura of his father Bruce Lee, he was disgusted by imitating his father.
Bruce Lee was a kung fu superstar, but after his untimely and unexpected death, everyone placed high hopes on his only son, Lee Kwok-ho.
Under the care of his father's old friends and many predecessors, Li Guohao successfully entered the film industry and emerged as a martial arts star.
However, when making the film, the producers wanted him to inherit Bruce Lee's Chinese martial arts tradition, and asked him to imitate some of Bruce Lee's signature moves, but he firmly refused these requests.
Chen Huimin, who was filming with him, asked angrily: "Aren't you Chinese?" ”
Li Guohao replied bluntly: "No! I am an American! ”
An angry Chen Huimin stood up and gave him a loud slap in front of everyone.
Although Li Guohao was tall, he did not dare to resist when facing Chen Huimin, who was a head shorter than him.
Chen's life story is equally dramatic.
Born in Hong Kong in 1994, he ran away from home alone at the age of 16 to pursue his martial arts dreams because his father was a navigator who often worked outside the home and his mother was busy taking care of his young sister.
He learned the full set of techniques from the Tam family's Sanzhan Quan, then specialized in Western boxing and honed his martial arts, eventually winning two Southeast Asian Ring Championships for Hong Kong.
Late one night in 1990, Carina Lau accepted Zeng Zhiwei's mahjong invitation and drove alone.
But halfway through, she suddenly noticed that someone was following her and felt very scared. She tries to escape, but is rear-ended by a pursuer forcing her to stop.
At the same time, Zeng Zhiwei was still waiting for her at home. What used to take only a few minutes to travel became half an hour, but Liu Jialing has never been seen, and the phone has not been answered. Zeng Zhiwei was very worried, so he called the police to look for her.
Until three hours later, Liu Jialing returned home on her own, but the others did not dare to ask too much or speak up, but only solved it privately.
I thought that this incident would be buried in my heart, but things took a turn.
In 2012, a humiliating photo appeared on the cover of a magazine, and Carina Liu's reputation was violated.
The Hong Kong entertainment industry was shaken, and all artists spontaneously organized themselves to fight back against the underworld forces.
However, Carina Lau hid at home for a whole week until she understood that only by bravely fighting the black forces could there be hope.
She put on sunglasses and stood on stage, sharing her terrible experience and calling on all Hong Kong artists to unite against those lawless forces. It was not until a few years later, in the mouth of the gangster Chen Huimin, that people learned the truth of the incident.
It turned out that Carina Lau once refused the film invitation of the big brother of Jianghu.
In order to save the face of her eldest brother, three gangsters forcibly took her away when she was drunk, locked her in a small dark room, and then took the opportunity to take off her clothes and take some sexy photos.
Before sending her to jail, one of the gangsters hid a photo.
Ten years later, he was released from prison and ill-willed, decided to take revenge, and handed over the negatives he had hidden for ten years to a weekly newspaper media, sparking a war.
In the same year, Andy Lau finished making a film that seriously damaged his reputation.
However, this was not due to Hua Zi's wishes, but the filmmakers pointed a gun at his head during filming and threatened him that he must complete the shooting.
What's more, they didn't even intend to pay the pay. In the end, Chen Huimin came forward to mediate and won a salary for Andy Lau.
This also shows Chen Huimin's influence in the entertainment industry, whether it is a gangster or the right way.
As a community leader and big brother in the entertainment industry, Chen Huimin almost always shows his help to his juniors and is very righteous. But this does not mean that Chen Huimin has a gentle personality.
Chen Huimin has publicly stated that there is only one real kung fu superstar, and that is Bruce Lee.
He admired Bruce Lee, and although some people said that there was a saying in Hong Kong that "the fist has Chen Huimin and the leg has Bruce Lee", Chen Huimin believes that he cannot beat Bruce Lee.
Chen Huimin believes that in addition to Bruce Lee, other kung fu stars such as Donnie Yen and Jackie Chan, in his opinion, the kung fu of fighting is not good enough.
He feels that Donnie Yen is too small, and Jackie Chan's kung fu is more like juggling, only good in movies.
However, Chen Huimin did not mean to disparage other kung fu stars.
In fact, he had worked with Jackie Chan and helped Donnie Yen solve troubles, so the relationship between them was quite friendly. Chen Huimin just looks at the martial arts skills of other kung fu stars from a different perspective.
After all, his training is focused on actual combat and he has fought in the ring, so he believes that kung fu does not have to look gorgeous, as long as he can win!
Bruce Lee's strength impressed Chen Huimin and proved Bruce Lee's own extraordinary ability.
When it comes to shooting martial arts scenes with his life in the movie, Chen Huimin is more courageous than Jackie Chan. But what is more noteworthy is his performance in the ring.
In 1983, at the age of 39, Chen Huimin faced Japan's Morizaki at the World Elite Fight Tournament, and in just 35 seconds of the first round, he knocked the Japanese fighter to the ground with a powerful hook.
The game thrilled fans, and the footage has been preserved to this day. Even later, Morizaki's senior brother Saki challenged again four years later in an attempt to take revenge, but Chen Huimin knocked out his opponent in only three rounds.
His nimble skills and swift boxing have made people praise him as "Chen Huimin in boxing, Bruce Lee in his legs", which is completely comparable to Bruce Lee.
With Hong Kong's return to the motherland, Chen Huimin felt it was time to retire. He used the resources and contacts he had accumulated over the years to devote himself to the wine business, and occasionally returned to the film industry.
Now he no longer wants to be called the boss or big brother of the underworld, he only wants others to call him "Brother Min".
Chen Huimin, as a former boss, celebrated his 78th birthday on May 16. Many jianghu brothers came to celebrate, and the atmosphere was very warm.
This birthday banquet is particularly luxurious, with a total of 12 tables, and the guests have shown the style of the rivers and lakes, and the scene is very lively.
At the birthday banquet, DEE has been standing quietly behind Chen Huimin without saying a word, which reminds people of his brave image when he was 14K.
DEE also rose to prominence in the film and television industry because of his relationship with Chen Huimin.
However, there was no Yin Guoju at this birthday banquet. Yin Guoju and Chen Huimin are recognized as good friends, the two have been brothers and sisters for many years, have done business together, and have many private gatherings.
However, Yin Guoju's absence from Chen Huimin's birthday celebration caused questions from netizens.
Although Chen Huimin is now in his seventies, he still shows the style and courage of the past.
At the birthday banquet, he toasted to the brothers who attended and delivered an inspiring birthday message.
His outstanding performance and immortal legend are enough to be remembered forever, and it is also the reason why he was able to attract so many quacks and lakes brothers.
