In the busy city of Hong Kong, there is a family story that is warm and touching. The protagonist of this story is Andy Lau, a man who has played a hero countless times on screen. But in his heart, the real hero is his former firefighter father.
Andy Lau's father, Liu Li, is an ordinary but great person. As a young man, he wore a firefighter's uniform and bravely rushed into the fire, protecting everyone in need. Later, in order to support his family, he changed careers and opened a snack grocery store called "Victorious Store". Despite his ordinary life, he has always maintained his enthusiasm to save people from the fire.
From an ordinary Hong Kong youth to a superstar in the Asian film industry, Andy Lau's life is full of hard work and struggle. In his early years, he began his acting career in the training class of Hong Kong Television and experienced countless challenges and trainings. His talent and persistence soon made him a household name in the film and television industry.
In an interview, when asked about the role he most wanted to play, Andy Lau's eyes flashed with a gentle light. He said he wanted to play a firefighter, a real, ordinary firefighter, just like his father. Through this role, he wanted to pay tribute to those unknown heroes, especially his father.
His films, such as Infernal Affairs and No Thieves, have not only been commercially successful, but have also won widespread acclaim artistically. His acting skills are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, whether it is a tough guy image or a warm role, he can be perfectly interpreted and loved by the audience.
Andy Lau was born in Tai Hang Village, Tai Po, New Territories, Hong Kong, and is the fourth in his family, with three older sisters, a younger sister and a younger brother. He looks a lot like his father, not only in appearance, but also in that indomitable spirit. After becoming famous, he never forgot his love for his family. Once, he even spent more than 200,000 yuan to buy a roast meat restaurant, just to satisfy his father's love for barbecued pork.
Andy Lau's success is not only a personal honor, but also a tribute to his father. He once said that every time he succeeded, he hoped to make his father proud. Even though his father is gone, he still talks to him in his heart, sharing his joys and sorrows.
Liu Li unfortunately suffered from bladder cancer in 2003, but under the careful care of his son, he successfully recovered. He even attended the party of "Andy World" and got along happily with his son's fans, showing that approachable temperament.
This is not only Andy Lau's story, but also the story of his father Liu Li. One is a hero on the screen and the other is a hero in life. Their stories make us believe that heroes are always there for us, whether it is a firefighter who saves people in a sea of fire, or an actor who touches people's hearts on the screen.
