Preamble:
What's so good about Japan?
Why do so many celebrities live in seclusion in Japan?
01
A star who lives in seclusion in Japan, I have to mention actor Tony Leung.
Six-time Academy Award winner, he has been in the limelight recently.
It is known that he has been "living in seclusion" in Japan for many years.
Even absent from the Academy Awards.
It's amazing that you can work and live in such a situation.
What is so good about Japan? It has attracted the actor to linger.
Tony Leung is extremely passionate about skiing and always travels to Japan for skiing.
And he is a famous social terror actor in the entertainment industry.
In the past, when I participated in the award ceremony, I always grabbed Carina Lau's arm.
He could not resist the enthusiasm of the Chinese people.
For various reasons, Tony Leung decided to settle in Japan.
Why did Ekin Cheng, who has the "Fifth Heavenly King", also live in seclusion in Japan with his wife?
02
Mr. and Mrs. Ekin Cheng have lived in Japan for many years.
Recently, I also met many netizens.
In the picture, he is dressed plainly, without a bit of a king frame.
The black short-sleeved dress has even pilled.
The former king of heaven has been "down" to this day, what is he difficult to hide.
Ekin Cheng has been known as "Yi Mian" since his debut.
It can be seen that he was also a leader in that era of handsome guys.
's handsome appearance made him be discovered by talent scouts to shoot advertisements when he was in middle school, and since then he has entered the entertainment industry.
From now on. His acting career is developing at a rapid pace like a rocket.
In 1995, it became an instant hit because of the Crazy Boy series of movies.
Chen Jinnan, who played the role, was the unique "big brother" in the hearts of junior high school students at that time.
The success of the role of "success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He" made him criticized.
When Ekin Cheng's career was in full swing, his popularity was close to the "Four Heavenly Kings" at that time.
He also earned the title of "Fifth Heavenly King".
This caused dissatisfaction among Andy Lau's fans at the time.
What's more, there are rumors that Chen Haonan invited Andy Lau for the corner.
was intercepted halfway by the fledgling Ekin Cheng.
How can a fledgling newcomer steal the role of the king?
This rumor was outrageous, and other versions came out later.
Andy Lau was already popular in Asia at that time, and there were countless scripts for him to choose from.
He worries about himself as an "idol" who influences thousands of people.
Playing such an extreme role is afraid of causing a bad impact on society.
After thinking about it again, he refused to star in "Crazy Boy".
Facts have proved that Andy Lau's worries are not unreasonable.
Once "Crazy Boy" was broadcast, it swept Hong Kong.
indirectly led to many children dropping out of school at that time, claiming that they wanted to make a name for themselves in society.
So much so that small gangs in Hong Kong sprung up overnight.
It is extremely detrimental to social stability, and this "pot" is on his back.
After that, he encountered the second bump in his acting career.
Ekin Cheng's momentum has caught the attention of Emperor, Hong Kong's largest brokerage firm.
Ekin Cheng signed a three-year contract with Emperor Corporation.
If he manages his career well, he will surely usher in the next peak.
But after signing the contract, the emperor made excessive demands.
The company wanted to replace Ekin Cheng's agent Lin Shanshan at that time.
This request touched his scales.
Lin Shanshan is the agent who has accompanied him for many years.
What's more, she's also a friend's sister.
Ekin Cheng, who has always been angry, refused on the spot.
He also paid the price for this impulse.
The refusal to replace the broker affected the company's interests.
At the same time, Ekin Cheng's resolute attitude angered the company's top management.
During the four-year contract period, Emperor limited Ekin Cheng's exposure.
As a result, Ekin Cheng, whose popularity was obviously close to Andy Lau back then, is now declining in popularity.
The disturbances in my career are worrying.
What got him into an even bigger controversy was the famous "Shuangqi face-grabbing" incident.
03
In 1992, Ekin Cheng and the temperamental beauty Shao Meiqi, who was two years older than him, became acquainted because of the play.
The two met while filming "Nine Anti-Dragons", and he was attracted by Shao Meiqi's gentle atmosphere.
Ekin Cheng was just a hairy boy with no name and no surname at the time.
And Shao Meiqi is a veritable Bai Fumei.
How can he be favored by the goddess.
In fact, the clues can be seen from Shao Meiqi's experience.
Maggie Shao's father is the founder of Shaw Brothers Film and Television.
TVB's famous Xiaosheng Huang Zongze is its artist.
The long-term and strict education method has made Shao Meiqi generous and decent.
The drama of the eldest lady falling in love with the poor boy is staged again.
Ekin Cheng's uninhibited attitude to life deeply attracted her.
The two were in love for seven years until this woman appeared.
The young and lively singer Gigi Leung broke into Ekin Cheng's sight.
It is rumored that Ekin Cheng and Maggie Shao are still in a relationship.
The relationship between the two is ambiguous.
The real situation is now impossible to verify.
But what is certain is that Maggie Shao was hit hard because of the failure of this relationship.
The "eldest lady", who has always been noble and elegant, even let go of her reserve.

My boyfriend's ex-girlfriend is so beautiful and moving, and I have to bear the infamy of destroying other people's feelings.
poked Gigi Leung's backbone, and what she did in anger dragged her into the abyss.
Gigi Leung's own lyrics in a song "Bikini" "too gaspy and too vulgar".
was accused of connotating Shao Meiqi, making her the target of public criticism again.
"Love Song Little Diva" suffered great damage to her image because a man fell off the altar.
The situation is even worse on Ekin Cheng's side.
The company's flow restrictions, the people's accusations.
Each one impacted Ekin Cheng's career and his heart.
At that time, he had the idea of leaving Hong Kong.
The two goddesses worked hard for him, but they didn't expect Ekin Cheng to "fall into another house" in the end.
In 2006, seven months after breaking up with Gigi Leung, Ekin Cheng met his true daughter.
He and Meng Jiahui became acquainted with each other because of their hobby of playing badminton.
finally got married in Tokyo in 2013 in a low-key manner, and then the two lived in seclusion in Japan.
Both are of retirement age, and the choice of where to live is understandable.
Unexpectedly, the husband and wife had such a "riotous operation", which caused public anger.
In 2023, Ekin Cheng will return to Hong Kong for a concert.
His wife, Meng Jiahui, accompanied him throughout the process.
But he was photographed communicating in Japanese throughout the whole process.
This can't help but make people feel that she has forgotten where she came from.
This year's concert is only Ekin Cheng, and his wife is living in seclusion on social platforms.
Netizen spicy comment: She is really happy.
Epilogue:
Ekin Cheng has experienced several ups and downs along the way, although the couple's approach in their later years is really unkind.
But now he chooses to live away from strife and feel life, and he has chosen another "comfortable life".
