1. The dance dream of nurturing youth sprouts
Lai Wenhui, who has been lively and cheerful since she was a child and has a strong curiosity, often makes the family chaotic, so that Lai's mother frequently cleans up the mess behind her. In order to find an outlet for the positive energy of this "little troublemaker", Lai's mother resolutely sent her to the dance class.
Lai Wenhui, who is new to the field of dance, has not yet understood the true meaning of dancing, but she is attracted by the cheerful atmosphere of everyone in the dance room, so she does not hesitate to integrate into it and enjoy this happy family atmosphere.
Over time, she gradually discovered that she developed a deep love for dance, and every jump was filled with passion.
In 1995, Lai Wenhui, who was only 8 years old, sat in front of the TV, watching his idol Andy Lau on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, with his superb acting skills to perform the touching "Forget Love Water", and a small excitement emerged in his heart.
She seems to see her future self, and one day she will be able to stand side by side on the stage with her idol and perform wonderful shows together.
Since then, the dance dream in the heart of the girl Lai Wenhui has quietly sprouted, and she began to go all out to improve her dancing skills, sweating like rain in the practice room every day.
Fortunately, in the emergency of a performance, Lai Wenhui was strongly recommended by the teacher and was able to join Andy Lau's team. Although she was still young at the time, Andy Lau had doubts about her strength, but when Lai Wenhui completed the dance moves smoothly, Andy Lau couldn't help but be shocked and admired her talent.
2. An encounter triggered by a ticket
Faced with Andy Lau's olive branch, the young Lai Wenhui unexpectedly declined. She sincerely expressed her thoughts to her idol: "My dancing skills still need to be improved.
Andy Lau couldn't understand Lai Wenhui's decision for a while, until the girl honestly expressed her inner worries - she always believed that there was a huge gap between herself and her idol, and she had no right to perform on the same stage with idols.
Lai's unwavering determination to refuse cooperation stems from her humble heart. She is full of respect for idols, and always feels that she has not yet reached the level of Andy Lau. Therefore, she worked harder to sharpen herself, looking forward to one day being able to happily take over the olive branch of her idol.
One night a few years later, Lai Wenhui quietly bought a ticket for Andy Lau's concert. She has a small expectation and just wants to witness the demeanor of her idol with her own eyes.
When the grand concert came to an end, Andy Lau once again extended a warm invitation to his long-awaited Lai Wenhui, and looked forward to her joining his dance troupe.
After several years of training and precipitation, the self-confident Lai Wenhui deeply felt that she had become a small success in dance, and she did not hesitate to accept the olive branch thrown by her idol.
In this regard, Lai Wenhui officially integrated into Andy Lau's dance team with a new identity. In order not to disappoint her idols, she redoubled her efforts and practiced her dancing skills diligently, often staying up all night in the quiet practice room, sweating all night.
Finally, during a rehearsal, Lai Wenhui showed her breathtaking dancing talent, and Andy Lau was instantly overwhelmed by it, announcing on the spot that she would become his "soul partner" on the stage.
3. Hand in hand for more than 20 years
Since that moment, Lai Wenhui has formed a deep friendship with her idol Andy Lau, and they have jointly performed countless wonderful life situations on the stage.
In 2007, the two co-starred in the dance "Shepherd Flute", which is based on the story of the traditional Chinese folklore "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl". On the stage, the lights dimmed, the melodious music flowed slowly, Lai Wenhui incarnated as a weaver girl trapped in a cage, and Andy Lau played the role of the shepherd cowherd.
Through their exquisite dance skills, they vividly interpret the complex emotions contained in this poignant love story.
Lai Wenhui's dancing posture is graceful and moving, and her eyes are flashing with a little pitiful melancholy, while Andy Lau is affectionate, and his eyes are full of love and care for her. The audience was deeply touched by this touching performance, and some were even moved to tears.
Towards the end of the performance, the other dancers left the stage, leaving only the two protagonists, Lai Wenhui and Andy Lau. At this time, Andy Lau held Lai Wenhui's hands tightly, held the microphone and solemnly introduced to the audience: "I want to introduce to you that this is my dance partner - Lai Wenhui!"
The fans in the audience immediately cheered and shouted "sister-in-law" in unison. Since then, Lai Wenhui has left her own unique mark on Andy Lau's life stage.
All this fully proves that Lai Wenhui has long gone beyond the category of ordinary dance partners for Andy Lau. They are the "soul mates" in each other's lives, and they are excellent partners who support and complement each other on the art stage.
Lai Wenhui's firm belief and persistent pursuit of dance career have won Andy Lau's sincere admiration. She is not only Andy Lau's "shadow" on the stage, but also an indispensable and important member of their "dance troupe family".
The two of them are so hand-in-hand, and they have gone through more than 20 ups and downs together!
Fourth, Zhu Liqian's generosity and inclusiveness
Before Lai Wenhui was affectionately called "sister-in-law" by fans, Andy Lau had already entered the marriage hall with Zhu Liqian. However, this marriage began quietly in 2008, and it was not until the unfortunate death of Zhu Liqian's father in 2009 that Andy Lau publicly admitted the fact of his marriage for the first time, which shocked everyone.
In fact, Zhu Liqian's fate with Andy Lau can be traced back to 1986. At that time, the two young minds resonated deeply when they first met, and they became interested in each other from the first time they met.
In other words, Zhu Liqian left footprints in Andy Lau's life journey much earlier than Lai Wenhui.
In the face of the tacit cooperation between Lai Wenhui and Andy Lau on the stage, Zhu Liqian has always maintained calm and rationality. For example, in a concert, Andy Lau accidentally jumped to the wrong position because he was too involved, and Lai Wenhui immediately skillfully led him back to the correct position with elegant dancing...... These seemingly insignificant details have shaped Lai Wenhui's special status in Zhu Liqian's heart bit by bit - as precious as family.
What's even more surprising is that when Zhu Liqian even named her daughter, she deliberately chose the word "Hui" that contains the homonym of Lai Wenhui's name to express her respect and cherishment of Lai Wenhui.
At a certain moment in the concert, when Andy Lau affectionately called "I love you" to pay tribute to the audience, he also turned to Lai Wenhui and added "I love you too" affectionately.
This undoubtedly shows that Lai Wenhui's status in his heart has risen to the same important height as Zhu Liqian.
Zhu Liqian's broad-mindedness and subtle way of doing things vividly show her tolerance for Lai Wenhui. She seems to have accepted and recognized Lai Wenhui as Andy Lau's "soul mate" in his career, and there is no threat to the relationship between them.
With such a wise and virtuous wife by his side, Andy Lau's heart can naturally devote himself to work without worries and give full play to his talents.
5. Lai Wenhui's emotional distress
Lai Wenhui's dance career can be described as unimpeded, but her emotional road is full of twists and turns. She once had a deep love experience, but unfortunately because she was too devoted to her career, this relationship ended in a breakup.
Lai Wenhui's encounter with the man happened after she met Andy Lau. Although they are in a relationship, they are rarely as inseparable and sweetly snuggled as the couples they often meet.
Perhaps it is because of her great love for dance that Lai Wenhui has always devoted a lot of time and energy to training and rehearsals.
The man was initially able to understand and tolerate Lai's dedication to her work. However, as time passed, the time they spent together gradually decreased, communication became more and more sparse, and the tacit understanding between them gradually dissipated.
Sometimes the man is upset when she misses an appointment for work, and sometimes she gets frustrated when she complains about her obsession with work.
In fact, for Lai Wenhui's love life, Andy Lau also sees it in his eyes and hurts in his heart. Sometimes he will also remind Lai Wenhui to properly handle his relationship problems and not to overindulge in work.
However, Lai Wenhui seems to have turned a blind eye to this, and still sticks to the practice room, ready to meet the challenge of the next stage performance.
After the breakup, Lai Wenhui seemed to pin all her emotions on the persistent pursuit of her dance career. Thankfully, although she lacks the company of her boyfriend, she has Zhu Liqian's family as her confidant and friend.
Whenever she is exhausted and wants to relax, she will always go shopping with Zhu Liqian, talk freely like ordinary girlfriends, and share each other's joys, sorrows, and sorrows.
