In the bustling Pearl of the Orient Hong Kong, when the sun slowly sets, there is a burst of laughter in a private villa located in a luxurious area.
At this glance, it turned out that in the backyard of the villa, there were two middle-aged couples with young and energetic appearances, wearing comfortable casual clothes, ruddy and energetic faces, and still looking very young.
The couple is the well-known Hong Kong artist Xu Qiuyi, who was once known as the "invisible rich", and her husband Wang Shuqi.
Time flies, time flies, and now they have long been freed from the pressure of life, and they no longer need to work hard for their livelihood. Recalling the early days when Hui Qiuyi participated in commercial performances in the mainland, she could easily earn millions of Hong Kong dollars a month at that time.
Although the situation is no longer comparable to what it used to be, the hard work of the years has enabled this warm family of three to live a comfortable life.
At this moment, a tall, handsome and dashing young man walked out of the villa, he respectfully greeted his parents: "Mom, Dad, I'm back!" This young man is their baby son CODY, he has a childish baby face, big eyes, and looks like Xu Qiuyi back then.
Xu Qiuyi smiled and waved to her son, hugged his shoulders affectionately, and the family was chatting and laughing in the garden, and it was not difficult to see from their expressions that this was undoubtedly a happy family.
Looking back, we can't help but go back to more than 20 years ago, when Hui Qiuyi was born into a well-known Cantonese opera family in Hong Kong. Her father, Hui Qiang, was a leader in Hong Kong's Cantonese opera industry at the time, not only had wonderful cameo appearances in many TV dramas, but was also a veteran actor.
Under the influence of such a family environment, Hui Qiuyi began to receive rigorous Cantonese opera training from a young age, including singing, recitation and stage performance.
At the age of 23, Xu Qiuyi successfully signed a contract with a well-known record company with her unremitting efforts, and formed a singing partner with Zhang Zhilin, who is also a newcomer.
Their first music work "Modern Love Story" quickly became popular upon its release, and the album sold well, setting an astonishing sales record of double platinum that year.
At that time, Xu Qiuyi and Zhang Zhilin could be called the "Golden Boy and Jade Girl" group that was popular all over Asia, both in the music and film worlds, and they were all highly watched and sought after, and the majority of fans were full of endless expectations for this new acting duo from a Cantonese opera family with unlimited potential in the future.
With their outstanding singing talent and excellent acting ability, Xu Qiuyi and Zhang Zhilin are two artists with a bright halo, and they have undoubtedly become one of the most dazzling new stars in the entertainment industry at that time.
However, I am afraid that no one expected that when these two shining stars were in full swing in their careers, a warm and quietly growing love affair was quietly brewing next to them.
In addition to continuing to cultivate the music industry, Xu Qiuyi also has the courage to challenge herself and set foot in the field of TV dramas. She once served as the heroine with the powerful actor Zhou Huimin in the hit drama "Dao Ma Dan", and successfully created the image of "Zhang Juqiu", a Peking Opera Hua Dan with a distinct personality and a strong aura.
Although Xu Qiuyi's appearance is not as glamorous and moving as Zhou Huimin, her accurate grasp and in-depth portrayal of the role undoubtedly make it a highlight in a masterpiece.
What's even more striking is the classic role she played in Hong Kong TVB's annual drama "Journey to the West" - Red Child. With her unique performance method, Xu Qiuyi vividly interprets the naughty, cute, innocent character of Red Boy, which is eye-catching.
The image of this red boy is still deeply imprinted in the minds of many Hong Kong audiences.
From "Dao Ma Dan" to "Journey to the West", it is not difficult for us to find that Xu Qiuyi was not only unique in the field of singing, but also performed well in performing arts, and can be called an all-round artist.
Whether it is singing, reciting or action performance, she is at ease and has excellent skills.
However, unfortunately, with the emergence of new talents, she never had the opportunity to release a new solo album. Despite this, Xu Qiuyi's several wonderful appearances in the film and television industry are enough to leave a deep and unforgettable impression in the minds of the majority of Hong Kong audiences, and she has become a high-profile and powerful artist.
In the emotional world of artists, it is inevitable to encounter some twists and turns. During the cooperation with Zhang Zhilin, there was a secret love between the two. Although they never openly acknowledged their relationship, in their interactions and eye contact, the affection could not be concealed.
However, good times are always short-lived. Just as Zhang Zhilin fell into the obsession with the beautiful and moving Yuan Yuyi, this quietly growing relationship ended in such a helpless way.
Although Xu Qiuyi was reluctant, she chose to be rational and generous, and finally chose to take the initiative to quit.
The years passed, and after the vicissitudes of life, when they met again, they still felt like old friends.
After missing out on her good relationship with Zhang Zhilin, many years later, Xu Qiuyi finally concluded a relationship again, this time she chose another well-known Hong Kong artist - Wang Shuqi. The actor, who used to be a cute child star, was active in many classic TV series, such as "Rogue Tycoon" and "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", etc., and the small roles he created are still fresh in the memory.
After growing up, Wang Shuqi not only looks handsome and chic, but also his acting skills have been highly recognized. It's a pity that he often can't usher in the opportunity to show his talents, and most of the time he only plays a supporting role in the play.
It is worth mentioning that, according to mainland media reports, it was Xu Qiuyi who personally encouraged Wang Shuqi to try to shoot Fengyue films, hoping to take this opportunity to help him make a greater breakthrough in his career.
From this incident, we can clearly see that Xu Qiuyi was an open-minded, independent, and courageous woman. She dared to make such a suggestion, undoubtedly based on her deep belief in Wang Shuqi's personality and firmly believed that he was an honest and trustworthy person who was trustworthy and worthy of being entrusted for life.
As it turned out, she had a very good eye. Since then, the two have known and loved each other for many years, and although they have never been able to enter the marriage hall, their relationship has always maintained respect and equality.
TOGETHER, THEY RAISE THEIR SON CODY, AND THE FAMILY LIVES A HARMONIOUS AND HAPPY LIFE.
At a certain stage, in order to seek new development in her career, Xu Qiuyi aimed at the mainland commercial performance market, which was just emerging at that time. As one of the first Hong Kong singers to enter the mainland market, she has earned a fortune in this field.
At that time, it was the peak of Hui's acting career, and she needed to attend at least 15 business events in the mainland every month. With extremely high royalties and venue rental fees, her monthly income can easily exceed the HK$1 million mark.
Therefore, the Hong Kong media gave her the title of "invisible rich woman" that year.
Her career in commercial performance in the mainland has brought Xu Qiuyi a remarkable wealth accumulation. For her, however, these are not things she is proud of or want to show off. When a reporter asked her about her assets, Xu Qiuyi said with a unique perception: "My bank deposits have already exceeded 100 million, but you only pay attention to my income, but ignore the huge expenditure pressure.
Her remarks sparked deep public thought. Indeed, for stars in the entertainment industry, the cost of living has always been an incomprehensible problem. In addition to daily food, clothing, housing and transportation, there are also additional expenses required to maintain interpersonal relationships, so the so-called "net worth of more than 100 million" is not equivalent to actual cash deposits.
Despite this, Xu Qiuyi has accumulated a huge fortune in many years of commercial performance activities in the mainland. With this sizable savings, she now lives a carefree life, where she can spend her money to her heart's content and enjoy the life of a wealthy person.
Xu Qiuyi, who is now in her 50s, has won a happy and stable life for herself. After buying a property in the mainland many years ago, and with her early hard work and savings in the field of commercial performances, she has now truly achieved financial freedom and no longer needs to worry about money.
Whenever the festival comes, the family of three will travel abroad together to relax. Hui cherishes the quality time she spends with her family, and she can finally enjoy life to the fullest and live the laid-back life she has always dreamed of.
Their only son, Cody, is now a dynamic college student. When she was a child, Hui Qiuyi once hoped that Cody would study abroad, but Cody resolutely chose to stay in Hong Kong and stay with her parents.
In retrospect, his decision was undoubtedly a wise one.
Cody is currently pursuing a degree at a prestigious university in Hong Kong and is a hard-working student with excellent grades. For their son's broad development prospects in the future, Xu Qiuyi and her husband Wang Shuqi are extremely gratified.
Being able to witness your child's healthy and happy growth step by step is undoubtedly the most sincere wish of a parent.
