Speaking of Hong Kong martial arts movies, Sammo Hung is a peak that cannot be bypassed, following Bruce Lee, Sammo Hung has become synonymous with Hong Kong-style action movies along with Jackie Chan, Tsui Hark, Cheng Xiaodong, etc.
While filming action movies, Sammo Hung was injured almost every day, and he once broke his hand bone three times in one scene. Every time he went to the hospital and came back after a plaster cast, he changed his costume and continued filming.
When practicing sparring, the opponent slashed him on the shoulder with a prop knife from mid-air, and Sammo Hung fell to the ground and couldn't move for a long time.
After filming and returning to the hotel, Sammo Hung didn't dare to sleep in bed and slept on the floor for a long time. Because the mattress was too soft, he couldn't get up from it.
Sammo Hung is simple and straightforward, speaks and does things very directly, and his first marriage has an element of gambling.
In 1973, Sammo Hung went to South Korea (then called South Korea) to make a movie, and the partner sent a female employee Cao Enyu to receive Sammo Hung and others.
Cao Enyu accompanied Sammo Hung to the hotel to check in, and after checking in, the waiter did not let Cao Enyu enter Sammo Hung room. Sammo Hung reasoned with the hotel staff, and the other party asked: Who is she?
Sammo Hung said angrily: She is my wife. Cao Enyu burst into tears. In fact, she already likes Sammo Hung in her heart, but Sammo Hung is too famous, she is an ordinary person, and she doesn't dare to have this luxury.
(Sammo Hung when he was young)
Sammo Hung has come to South Korea to film many times before, and Cao Enyu receives and takes care of him every time. Cao Enyu is beautiful, tall, delicate, and capable, and takes good care of Sammo Hung's life, and Sammo Hung has always had a good impression of her.
After hearing the angry words, Cao Enyu tentatively said to Sammo Hung : If you say this, no man will dare to ask me to be his girlfriend in the future.
Sammo Hung looked into Cao Enyu's eyes and asked, "I love you, do you love me?" Cao Enyu nodded shyly.
The next morning, Sammo Hung and Cao Enyu went through the formalities of marriage at the consulate in Seoul. If it weren't for his anger, Sammo Hung would probably not marry Cao Enyu as his wife.
03
After marriage, Cao Enyu followed Sammo Hung to live in Hong Kong. On July 1, 1974, their eldest son, Hong Tianming, was born.
In August 1975, Sammo Hung's second son, Hong Tianxiang, was born.
On November 15, 1979, the couple gave birth to their third son, Hong Tianzhao.
Two years later, they gave birth to their daughter, Hong Xuyu.
Cao Enyu took care of her 4 children, did not go out to work anymore, and became a full-time housewife. Although there is a nanny at home, Cao Enyu has to worry about many things and do it herself. She didn't have time to socialize and lived a secluded life.
(Sammo Hung and his son Hung Tianming)
At that time, Sammo Hung was very popular, with many admirers, high income, and a very chic life.
After becoming a father, he often went to nightclubs to find hot girls, and lived with girls behind Cao Enyu's back.
She gave birth to 4 children for her husband in a row, and she was busy with her children every day, but her husband hurt herself emotionally, Cao Enyu was sad and angry, and she quarreled with Sammo Hung for three days.
Sammo Hung did not shy away from the absurdity of his youth in an interview, he said: At that time, Cao Enyu and I quarreled every night, and we quarreled until dawn, and we continued to quarrel after the children went to school during the day, and those days were unbearable.
(Sammo Hung )
Frequent quarrels consumed the couple's feelings. But Sammo Hung and Cao Enyu chose to maintain their marriage in order to give their 4 children a complete family.
It was the appearance of another woman, Gao Lihong, that finally crushed their marriage.
Gao Lihong was born on May 28, 1965 in Hong Kong, China, 13 years younger than Sammo Hung . Gao Lihong is 1.70 meters tall, her mother is Chinese, her father is Australian, and Gao Lihong is a Chinese-Australian mixed-race child.
In 1984, Gao Lihong won the Miss Hong Kong championship and the Most Photogenic Miss Award.

Since then, she has participated in the Miss Universe pageant and won the third place in the Best National Costume category. With the popularity accumulated by beauty pageants, Gao Lihong entered the film and television industry in 1986 and took over the film "Ghost Hunting".
Gao Lihong is not fluent in Cantonese, and her appearance is too Westernized, after she won the Hong Kong sister championship, TVB did not sign a contract with her.
In 1986, Gao Lihong worshipped Sammo Hung as her teacher and became a female apprentice of the "Hong Family Class". Gao Lihong studied martial arts with Sammo Hung and has since become a star.

(Gao Lihong, "Dragon and Phoenix Thief Catches Thief", 1990)
In order to promote Gao Lihong, from 1986 to 1990, Sammo Hung helped her take over 6 action movies such as "Yuan Zhenxia and Wesley", "Bad Gambling Hero", "Oriental Condor", "Ghost Fierce Feet", "Royal Female General" and so on.
Among them, Gao Lihong was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the 7th Hong Kong Film Awards for her role as a Cambodian guerrilla member in "Oriental Condor".
At that time, Sammo Hung had not yet divorced Cao Enyu, and he openly fell in love with Gao Lihong. Gao Lihong also doesn't mind Sammo Hung having a family and children, which is mainly due to two reasons:
First, Sammo Hung is talented and has a high status in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Second, Sammo Hung's economic conditions are superior, and both career and life are helpful to Gao Lihong.
(Sammo Hung and Gao Lihong wedding photos)
Cao Enyu could not accept this kind of injury, and in 1991 she decided to file for divorce from Sammo Hung . Soon after Sammo Hung divorced, he turned around and remarried Gao Lihong.
The 4 children were raised by Cao Enyu, and she couldn't do without the children. After the divorce, all four children lived with Cao Enyu, but Sammo Hung often took his four children to his home for reunion.
Sammo Hung's eldest son was 17 years old at the time, and his youngest daughter was only 10 years old. As soon as the children came to the house, Gao Lihong served the children around the clock, cooked food for them with the nanny, and took the children out to play.
The marriage of her parents was destroyed by Gao Lihong, and at first the children were resistant to her and did not accept her. Even in his father's house, the 4 children were cold to Gao Lihong.
(Gao Lihong)
Gao Lihong married Sammo Hung as an unmarried girl, and she wanted to have children of her own. But Sammo Hung already has 4 children, and he is too old to have any more children, so Gao Lihong has to respect her husband and dispel the idea of having a baby.
But her mother's love has no release channel, and she often thinks of crying when she thinks about the baby at home.
After a long period of psychological struggle, Gao Lihong's mood calmed down. She knew that if she wanted to maintain her marriage to Sammo Hung, she had to accept his decision.
05
Gao Lihong herself has no children, so she loves her stepson and stepdaughter wholeheartedly, and her sincerity and maternal love finally touched the 4 children, who accepted Gao Lihong psychologically and emotionally.
(Sammo Hung and his son Hung Tianming)
Sammo Hung 's 4 children are all developing very well, the eldest son Hong Tianming is 1.86 meters tall, handsome, and is a well-known actor and host in Hong Kong, China, starring in many film and television dramas such as "Ghost Eye Criminal Police", "Living Buddha Jigong 3", "All Happy", "Band of Seven" and so on.
The second son, Hong Tianxiang, is a Canadian-Chinese actor and singer.
The third son, Hong Tianzhao, is a famous actor in Hong Kong, starring in a series of film and television dramas such as "Counter War", "The Legend of Foguang Temple", "Ink Attack", "Shaolin Monk Soldier" and so on.

Sammo Hung 's daughter, Hung Xuyu, worked in a bank after graduating from university, and later also made a cameo appearance.
In 2012, Hong Tianming married Canadian actress Zhou Jiawei in Hong Kong, China. After marriage, Hong Tianming and his wife gave birth to two sons in a row.
After Cao Enyu and Sammo Hung divorced, she was heartbroken by her marriage, and she never remarried, living alone. She did not live with her children, lived alone in the old building, and had little contact with the outside world.
It is conceivable that children have their own lives, and Cao Enyu, who has no social circle, must be lonely and lonely in her later years.

(Sammo Hung and Gao Lihong)
Sammo Hung remarried after divorce, and his life with Gao Lihong was stable and happy in his later years. And his ex-wife Cao Enyu and the current Gao Lihong have made great sacrifices for Sammo Hung, and their lives are tragic.
Cao Enyu is still single and lonely after the divorce, and Gao Lihong has no children of her own, and she is entangled in her heart. The lives of both women are not fulfilling, there are tears and pain.
