Maggie Cheung, who has not been seen for a long time, recently appeared at the badminton ceremony held on the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France, which happened to be the 100-day countdown to the Paris Olympics↓↓
Also on the scene were Lin Dan and French national treasure actress Juliette Binoche, Maggie Cheung and Binoche are both Cannes actresses, and both were born in 1964 and are both 60 years old↓↓
Compared with Binoche, Maggie Cheung seems to have aged more obviously, perhaps because we are more familiar with Maggie Cheung, how many people once admired her appearance when she was young, and now she looks like an elderly Audrey Hepburn aura↓↓

Although he is old, Manshen's spirit is still first-class, and he cooperates with Lin Dan to play badminton, and his reaction and skills are still online↓↓
Maggie Cheung has been in the shadow for 20 years, and she has lived a very low-key life, and the last time she appeared in a public event in our memory was 5 years ago, recording the reunion of Lehua's seven sons↓↓
After winning the Cannes film at the age of 40, she retired bravely at the peak of her career, and then she has been living casually for 20 years, doing what she wants to do, and every stage of her life is really enviable.
How powerful is Maggie Cheung? 5 times Hong Kong Film Awards, 4 Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, Berlin Actress and Cannes Actress. Even Tony Leung had to act all the way to the age of 62 before he just surpassed Maggie Cheung's record, and won the Academy Award for Best Actor for the sixth time this month.
It is not easy to occupy a hill in the age of the gods in Hong Kong films, even Maggie Cheung came from the vase period.
Maggie Cheung was born in Hong Kong on September 20, 1964, moved to the UK with her family when she was 8 years old, spent her youth in Kent, England, and worked as a salesperson in a bookstore in London after secondary school. In 1982, when she returned to Hong Kong for a vacation, she was photographed by a talent scout and began to work as a part-time model.

The 1983 Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant opened the door to a new world for Maggie Cheung, when she was less than 20 years old, her face was full of collagen, and she was so tender that she could pinch out the water↓↓
The host introduced her dream at the time to travel around the world and enjoy the journey of life↓↓ Now it seems that the various highlight moments in the entertainment industry have not changed her original intention.
She was the runner-up and the most photogenic Miss Hong Kong that year, and she was super beautiful in a cheongsam when she was a teenager↓↓
For the first time, I thought that the nasolabial folds were good-looking, and the smile was like a pair of small braces↓↓
After that, it was logical to enter the entertainment industry, and the stars at that time were not from professional classes, and everyone learned and acted together.
Because of his beauty, he was assigned vase roles at the beginning, and all kinds of silly white sweets took turns to act, and his immature acting skills at that time were similar to those of extras↓↓
The style is also like offending the makeup artist, and the runner-up of Sister Hong Kong changes into a village girl and enters the city in minutes↓↓
and Tony Leung collaborated on "Senior Brother Xinzha"↓↓ As a result, he was scolded by the other party: If you don't know how to act, go home!
Collaborated with Jackie Chan in "Police Story"↓↓ was also criticized in public: Do you know how many people's time will be delayed because of you?
In addition to acting, the company arranged a lot of dinners for her, and the men were very attentive to her, making her vase character firm, and the people felt that she wanted to marry a wealthy family with a sugar daddy.
For these questions, Maggie Cheung is very calm, Huang Zhan asked her in the interview: Do you go to participate in the beauty pageant and enter the entertainment industry, are you greedy for vanity? She replied directly: Yes, it is definitely greedy for vanity, this is a fact, and I am not afraid to say it↓↓
Ni Kuang was also next to him at that time, and he commented: People have the right to be greedy for vanity.
Huang Zhan later sighed that he had read countless people in his life, and he had never seen such a frank person as Maggie Cheung, not to mention that she was still a woman.
For Maggie Cheung, vanity is also a kind of motivation, everyone says I can't act, so I will act desperately and use the film to hone my acting skills.
Fortunately, she caught up with the boom of Hong Kong films, and in 1988, she acted in 12 movies and was named "Zhang Yida". Among them, there is a "Carmen in Mong Kok", which can be said to change Maggie Cheung's life.
"Mong Kok Carmen" is Wong Kar-wai's feature-length movie Virgo, he named Maggie Cheung as the heroine, and the opponent was Andy Lau, who had been hidden in the snow for more than a year↓↓ The second male lead is Jacky Cheung, who became popular for singing. Now it seems that they are all top celebrities, but at that time, the industry felt that the king of sunglasses was crazy.
In the lens of the king of sunglasses, Maggie Cheung's beauty was finally 100% presented, and the village girl entered the city and became a goddess in minutes↓↓
No beauty filters, or even makeup, is as beautiful as an oil painting, the king of sunglasses can always shoot women with the ultimate beauty↓↓
The acting skills also turned over, and the aggrieved tears when the station said goodbye completely washed the vase label for many years↓↓
Following the king of sunglasses, Maggie Cheung learned that acting is actually an emotion, not just a superficial action.
After watching "Mong Kok Carmen", Guan Jinpeng exclaimed: Is this Maggie Cheung? It is completely different from her before! Hurry up and sign her to star in "Ruan Lingyu"↓↓
Maggie Cheung and Ruan Lingyu both have a jade in their names, and they have similar experiences, both of them have transformed from vases to acting actresses. Before the start of "Ruan Lingyu", Maggie Cheung's ex-boyfriend sold her love letters to the media, which also made her really feel the terrifying state of mind.
In this movie, Maggie Cheung is really charming and beautiful, and some melon people commented that she "has no distinction between people and dramas" and "makes people wonder if Ruan Lingyu is reincarnated"↓↓
Maggie Cheung won the Academy Award and the Berlin Silver Bear Award with this film, and finally raised her eyebrows with her acting skills, she said when accepting the Academy Awards: Winning the award will always learn some truths, for example, there are always people who say that she shouldn't take it afterwards, I would mind before, but now I have learned, the award is in my hands, I don't care about what you say↓↓
It seems that since then, Maggie Cheung began to care less about the outside world's evaluation of her, and gradually presented more of her true self to the public.
In the 90s of the last century, Maggie Cheung was full of firepower, and the cooperating people were all big names, and the actresses at that time had their own beauty↓↓Unlike the current entertainment industry, they share the same face.
In "New Dragon Gate Inn", there is the heroic Lin Qingxia, but she plays the coquettish and spicy gold inlaid jade, which is still the biggest highlight, how many years later, when I think back to this movie, the first thing that comes to mind is her↓↓
In "Green Snake", there is the top-notch beauty Wang Zuxian, but Xiaoqing she plays has eyes that are more bewitching than Zuxian↓↓
In the end, Xu Xian, who found a monk in Jinshan Temple, shed a tear on his face, which was amazing↓↓
can not only play the amorous gold-inlaid jade and green snake, but also play the grassroots and the mother of the country.
In "Sweet Honey", she finally saw Brother Leopard's Mickey tattoo in the corpse room, from laughing to crying, her acting skills are perfect↓↓
In "Song Family Dynasty", if you haven't seen the movie, it's hard to imagine that she can play Song Qingling↓↓
After frequently winning awards, she became more and more cautious about taking on the role, and it was useless to give more money to the roles she didn't like. It is reported that the roles she turned down include Bond Girls and X-Men.
In 2000, he invited Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung to star in "In the Mood for Love", the forbearance of middle-aged passion, all kinds of desires to speak and stop↓↓ If it weren't for Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung's acting skills, I don't know how ugly it would be to play two people.
But these two, even if they are walking backs, we can watch them for a long time. Maggie Cheung walked in a cheongsam, and every bone seemed to make her debut alone. Xin Zhilei said that in order to act in "Flowers", she practiced walking for two years, but compared to Maggie Cheung, there is still a little worse ↓↓
At the end of the film, she returned to her former home, and the feeling of the past suddenly came to her heart, just a few micro-expressions made people empathize, Maggie Cheung's acting skills were amazing↓↓
Maggie Cheung's last film before her retirement was "Clean" directed by her ex-husband, French director Olivier Assayas. Maggie Cheung has no children in reality, but she became a mother for the first time in this movie↓↓ She supported this movie alone, and became the first Cannes actress in Asia with this film, but she also signed a divorce agreement with the director on the set, ending the only marriage in her life.
Although she has only been married once, Maggie Cheung's love history is very complicated, and there are 10 relationships according to incomplete statistics.
When she first entered the entertainment industry, she fell in love with stylist Eric and Korean hairstylist Kim, and it seems that she likes technical talents.
After that, it is with Er Dongsheng, don't look at Er Dongsheng is now an uncle who is a fortune, when he was young, he was also a high-quality idol with both appearance and talent, the two are greasy and crooked almost every day, Maggie Cheung also straightened his teeth for him and pulled out his tiger teeth, but I didn't expect Er Dongsheng to say: When I first met her, there were two tiger teeth, which were very cute, and now there are no characteristics at all...
Maggie Cheung and Er Dongsheng
The two have been talking for three years, and the reason for breaking up is very classic, Maggie Cheung said: I hope he will talk sweetly to me, send flowers romantically, and take over the delivery, he hopes that after finishing work, I will take slippers and pour tea, but everyone can't do it.
In 1991, Maggie Cheung took over the filming of "A Tale of Two Cities", and when filming in the United States, she fell in love with Hank, the art director of the crew. After the filming of the movie, they were separated from each other, and their relationship faded, Maggie Cheung proposed to break up, and as a result, the love letter exposure incident written earlier occurred, and the outside world commented on her love letter, and also said that her love letter was full of typos and uneducated.
Fortunately, Maggie Cheung is stronger than Ruan Lingyu, and Leng is making up for love with her career.
Later, he met Song Xueqi, a real estate businessman, on the plane, Song Xueqi has a high education, extraordinary conversation, and personable, and has a fatal attraction to Maggie Cheung, who worked part-time after graduating from middle school. Gua Min thought that he had met the true son of heaven this time, but Song Xueqi made Maggie Cheung heartbroken. The two have been in love for 3 years, when Song Xueqi's career was at a low point, Maggie Cheung once took out all her savings of 10 million Hong Kong dollars to her boyfriend, but the loss was not counted, the scumbag also cheated on the rich girl, and Maggie Cheung finally lost both people and money.
This period of love was so traumatic that Maggie Cheung disappeared for a whole year and eight months, did not make a movie, and faded out of the public eye, until French director Olivier Assayas knocked on her door.
Olivier came to Hong Kong to look for an actress for his film "Mystery", and he found Maggie Cheung, and the two hit it off↓↓
Olivier was born in a French film family and is also very famous in France, and the two fell in love for a year before getting married in France in a low-key manner in 1998.
It is a happy thing to start married life in a foreign land, but a month after marriage, she was found by Wong Kar-wai to return to Hong Kong to film "In the Mood for Love".
King of Sunglasses, you know, Maggie Cheung later recalled: It's been a year of filming, and there is no half of it. Every day we are filming, but it seems that we are not filming, Wong Kar-wai is just watching us, and there is no story in his head. When I got back to Paris, everything changed.
In addition to delaying the filming, Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung were also rumored to be fake and really done scandals, and when such a thing happened, divorce seemed to be the only ending.
Maggie Cheung said that the breakup with Olivier was friendly, and she did not blame Wong Kar-wai. But the most painful part of the breakup was that Olivier had already written the script for "Clean" for Maggie Cheung at that time.
She decided to take over the film and signed a divorce agreement on the set, and after the filming, she and Olivier remained friends, but rarely corresponded.
Olivier later approached her and wanted her to make a cameo in his film, but Maggie Cheung replied: As far as acting is concerned, this is no longer my world.
After winning the Cannes film, Maggie Cheung retreated bravely. She lives in Paris every day, only doing what she wants, such as painting, and once riding on Nicholas Tse's shoulder to scribble on his shoulder when recording his "Twelve Sharp Flavors".

I love music the most and am completely immersed in my own world↓↓
Maggie Cheung really loves to sing, 10 years ago at the Strawberry Music Festival, she sang "Sweet Honey" on stage, but the result was out of tune, and the bad reviews were overwhelming↓↓
She later responded that she had hit herself hard, and she was embarrassed to see people by hiding at home for a year, because she liked to sing and was scolded, but she slowly adjusted back, "Why can't I play this game anymore if someone else says a few words, it's not fair, I will keep playing" ↓↓
Since the singing is out of tune, she will concentrate on lyrics and music, which is a crossover from scratch for her. When she recorded Nicholas Tse's "Twelve Sharp Flavors", the director asked her if anyone said that she didn't sing well, and she immediately replied: "It's too much!" But what does it matter, my current state is just to do this.
Maggie Cheung once said when she was in her 20s: I hope to get married at the age of 30, stop filming after marriage, and live a comfortable and worry-free life;
Now at the age of 60, except for her husband's unfulfilled period, everything else is the same as she expected when she was in her 20s, moving forward alone, but with freedom.
There is a lyric in the song "Young" written and sung by Maggie Cheung: Be yourself sincerely
