At this moment, Zheng Xiuwen was holding the shining trophy tightly, his eyes were wet with emotion, and tears kept rolling in his eyes. At this moment, countless emotional fluctuations rose in her heart.
In the long and difficult more than 20 years, she has squandered endless hard sweat and tears, but today, she has finally reaped the highest honor in her life!
When his best friend Andy Lau walked on the stage with affection and handed the trophy to her with his own hands, Sammi Cheng could not hide the ecstasy in his heart. Andy Lau responded to her with a smile, his eyes full of praise and pride.
They all know that this honor is not easy to achieve.
Sammi Cheng gently sang a few lines of the lyrics of his classic song "Eyebrows Flying Color Dance": "Have you ever known, have you ever understood, I have been waiting for the flowers to wither?" The song is melodious and moving, but it contains the expectation of waiting and the persistence of dreams.
Everyone present seemed to be infected by Sammi Cheng's sincere joy and applauded her warmly. Some people were deeply touched and burst into tears. After all, the diva, who was known as "Miss 8 Kilometers" in the past, finally ushered in her own glorious moment after 20 years of ups and downs.
Andy Lau also stared at his friend with deep eyes, with mixed feelings in his heart. As a confidant who has accompanied Sammi Cheng through decades of ups and downs, he can deeply understand her inner turmoil and the joy of making her dreams come true.
This long-lost glory finally drew the most brilliant chapter in Sammi Cheng's life.
Back in 1988, Zheng Xiuwen, who was only 16 years old at the time, set foot in the entertainment industry for the first time and shined in the "Rookie Singing Contest" held by TVB, and won the honor of runner-up with his outstanding talent.
The audience was all captivated by the young girl's excellent singing skills and the typhoon beyond her years.
It was the golden age of Hong Kong music, and there were extremely high requirements for the comprehensive quality of singers. However, Sammi Cheng still stands out in the fierce competition and shines brightly.
The jury praised her as a "teenage genius" on the spot, and the audience cheered.
In the interview session after the game, the childish Zheng Xiuwen smiled shyly, but his eyes flashed with confidence and longing for the future. She said firmly: "I will do my best to perform every song with my heart so that more people will remember my name."
”。
At the age of 16, Sammi Cheng may not have been able to fully appreciate the enormous weight of the word "diva", but her relentless pursuit of a music career has already shown great ambition.
When the glory of the runner-up propelled her to the center of the stage, she seemed to foreshadow that she was about to embark on a magical journey in life.
Since then, Sammi Cheng has firmly embraced her dreams and embarked on a long and arduous journey to pursue her dreams. With perseverance and extraordinary talent, she has written her own chapter of life step by step.
Not only that, while making outstanding achievements in the music career, Sammi Cheng's emotional world has also been accompanied by various waves. The love journey she experienced with her brother Xu Zhi'an, who was a co-teacher, can be described as ups and downs and capricious.
In 1991, they collaborated on the lyrical song "Actually, Do You Have Me in Your Heart", which accurately portrayed the most sincere and fiery emotions in their hearts. At that time, Zheng Xiuwen stared at Xu Zhian infatuatedly, and his eyes were full of affection and love, which made people moved.
Their eyes full of affection and sweetness have attracted countless speculations and imaginations from the outside world.
Time flies, and eight years later, in 1999, Sammi Cheng suffered an accident at a solo concert in the Red Pavilion, and the stage instantly fell into darkness. Faced with the sudden predicament, the young woman panicked in her heart, and the first thing that came to mind was Xu Zhi'an.
As expected, Xu Zhi'an, who learned the news, immediately rushed to the scene, and he gently hugged Zheng Xiuwen tightly into his arms, guarding her body and mind with a solid arm. At that moment, the intimacy between them, which was unspoken, was revealed.
However, in 2001, their relationship fell into a trough, and under their respective persistence and willfulness, they finally chose to part ways. What is sad is that only three years later, in 2004, they rekindled the flame of their former love and moved forward hand in hand again.
However, the good times are always short-lived, and seven years later, in 2011, their relationship was hit hard again. This time the division and integration almost exhausted the patience and courage of both sides.
Until 2013, at Sammi Cheng's birthday party, Xu Zhian affectionately knelt on one knee and solemnly proposed to the person he liked. When Zheng Xiuwen nodded in agreement, they finally hugged each other tightly and entered the sacred hall of marriage.
However, as if fate was deliberately playing tricks on people, one morning in April 2019, a shocking image was publicly broadcast in the media - Xu Zhian and Ma Guoming's girlfriend Huang Xinying secretly had an affair.
As a victim, Sammi Cheng undoubtedly endured tremendous shock and pain during that time.
Although married life has brought her endless loss and despair, she finally chooses to forgive with a generous heart. She bravely published a long post through social platforms, showing her deep inner entanglements and struggles, and announced that she would stick to this relationship and spend the years ahead with Xu Zhian with firm determination.
Since the 80s of the last century, the two of them have been golden partners in the film and television industry, and their friendship with each other is like an indestructible rock. Whether it is Sammi Cheng's difficulties and obstacles in her career, or the setbacks and challenges in her life, Andy Lau has always been by her side, giving her selfless support and encouragement, and accompanying her out of the predicament with simple and sincere friendship.
Therefore, when Andy Lau personally presented the Academy Award to his best friend Sammi Cheng in 2023, the audience was deeply moved, and many people shed tears of excitement. This scene is the highest affirmation and recognition of two friends who have always worked closely together and walked through the glorious course of life.
The deep friendship between Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng can be traced back to 1988, when she won the runner-up in the "Rookie Singing Contest", and this exciting moment made people see the unlimited potential in her.
That year, at the age of 16, she showed youthful energy on stage and her passionate pursuit of music career, which amazed everyone.
That year, Andy Lau, who had become a superstar in the film industry, was full of praise for this talented young man, and he was convinced that she would achieve even more brilliant achievements in the coming days.
So, they formed an indissoluble bond, and in the following decades, they worked together to create one classic film and television work after another.
Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and in the blink of an eye, in 2000, Sammi Cheng and Andy Lau co-starred in the well-received movie "Lonely Men and Widows". This heartwarming and touching comedy not only set an astonishing box office record in Hong Kong, but also made the audience deeply feel the shocking effect brought by the tacit cooperation between them.
The audience sighed that the cooperation between Sammi Cheng and Andy Lau was simply "perfect chemistry". Since then, countless directors will not hesitate to regard them as the first choice when selecting actors, looking forward to creating more excellent works through the continuous positive energy between them.
From 2002's "Infernal Affairs", 2003's "Thin Man and Woman", and even 2013's "Blind Detective" and 2015's "Dragon and Phoenix" and many other high-profile film and drama masterpieces, we can see the wonderful cooperation between the two outstanding artists.
Every time they appear on the big screen, they can always deeply touch the hearts of the audience with their unique charm.
It is especially worth mentioning that whenever Sammi Cheng faces challenges or difficulties in his acting career, Andy Lau will always stand up without hesitation and go all out to support this best friend.
For example, in 2004, Sammi Cheng's first film "Magic Kitchen" as a director needed to urgently find an actor for some reason, and Andy Lau did not hesitate to make a cameo role for her - "Chuanyou".
After the release of this movie, many viewers were surprised to find that Andy Lau, who was at the level of the king, had such a wonderful performance in Sammi Cheng's movie! However, they obviously underestimated the deep friendship between these two stars.
In 2005, Sammi Cheng fell into depression, and Andy Lau was always by her side and gave her endless love. That year, he attended the Academy Awards ceremony as a special guest and publicly expressed his firm support for Sammi Cheng: "What I am looking forward to most is that Sammi Cheng can win the award.
In 2014, when Sammi Cheng held a solo concert, Andy Lau personally came to the scene, adding a strong friendship to this event. And a few years later, in 2018, he did his best to help his friends and happily participated in the movie "The Taste of Sichuan Pepper" directed by Sammi Cheng, using his influence to enhance the popularity of the film.
Their friendship has gone through the vicissitudes of time, but it is still as strong as ever, and there are no complaints. Andy Lau always sincerely wishes his best friend Sammi Cheng to one day be able to stand on his own stage and win her own honors and achievements.
Until 2023, when he personally handed over the trophy symbolizing the highest honor of Best Actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards to Sammi Cheng, this ardent expectation finally became a reality.
Having crossed the threshold of 55 and 51 years old, they have gone through three-quarters of the journey hand in hand on the road of life.
Despite Sammi Cheng's remarkable achievements in her acting career, she has also experienced numerous setbacks and endless losses along the way. In her more than 20-year acting career, although she has been nominated for Best Actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards many times, she has never been able to win the coveted trophy.
However, on the night of the 41st Hong Kong Film Awards in 2023, the 51-year-old Sammi Cheng finally held this heavy honor tightly in his hands. When she lifted the trophy high, the audience cheered for her success and applauded.
After more than 20 years of hard work and perseverance, Sammi Cheng's glory has witnessed her incomparable enthusiasm for her career and the spirit of pursuing excellence, and at the same time demonstrated her strict requirements for her own perfection, which has won wide recognition and deep admiration from the public!
In fact, since his career in acting at a young age, Sammi Cheng has been known for his extremely strict self-control. In order to maintain her slender figure, she had to go all out to exercise every day during her youth, running eight kilometers away, so she was honored as "Miss 8 Kilometers".
At that time, she was so thin that she was like swaying in the wind, which was worrying. However, her high standards have not been lowered in the slightest, and she has always been determined to implement strict self-management.
In addition to her strict body control, she has shown great perseverance and dedication in various fields such as music, TV series, and movies. In the process of work, he often forgets to sleep and eat, and makes great efforts to pursue artistic excellence.
Whether it is singing lyrics, script dialogue, dance moves and stance, she always compares and ponders repeatedly to strive for perfection.
It is precisely because of this free-spirited and eternal pursuit of excellence in life, coupled with the indomitable spirit of struggle, that Sammi Cheng has won the irresistible love and heartfelt praise of the audience.
The audience loves her clear heart, appreciates her firm determination to her career, and loves her fresh and unique spiritual demeanor.
Although Sammi Cheng has encountered numerous setbacks and difficulties in her long career, she has never given up easily, but has chosen to move forward in her own way. Her perseverance, perseverance, and tirelessness led to the realization of her dreams, which made people rejoice.
This is undoubtedly an extremely precious and admirable quality.
Standing at the pinnacle of honor, Sammi Cheng's face was filled with joy that could not be concealed. However, that once immature face has now been baptized by the years and has left a deep imprint.
Her life is like a wonderful drama, which is both emotional and exciting.
Recalling that when she was 16 years old, she won a good performance in a singing competition and was hailed as a "girl genius", and since then she has opened a bright chapter in her life. However, in the years that followed, she experienced numerous twists and turns and challenges on her emotional and career path.
In the emotional field on the road of life, the emotional entanglement between her and Xu Zhian has gone through the compound tribulation after several parting ways, and the glorious culmination of her acting career, the crown of Best Actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards, although it is close at hand, it slips away quietly in front of her like quicksand in her hands, and the fleeting dream is undoubtedly a heavy test for her.
So, in those years full of distress, loss, and boundless confusion, what was the strength that made Sammi Cheng forge ahead? The motivation for her to support herself to move forward came from her dedication to her career, her extreme thirst for dreams, or her high standards and strict requirements for her own perfection? In the depths of everyone's heart, there may be a microcosm of "Sammi Cheng", a brave warrior who has forged ahead bravely in the journey of life, constantly challenged himself, and despite the baptism of reality countless times, he still welcomes every day with enthusiasm.
However, the moment Zheng Xiuwen held the trophy symbolizing glory, all the frustrations and efforts were finally frozen in that eternal moment, and the hardships and costs she paid were also duly respected and praised.
This honor not only shows her positive attitude towards life and perseverance and fighting spirit, which has won the recognition of the audience, but also has become a role model for a new generation of artists.
Li Zhiting once said earnestly: "Everyone's life course is like a magnificent drama, and the key lies in whether each scene can be wonderful." Sammi Cheng profoundly interprets the profound connotation of this wise saying with his unique life experience.
Her life is full of ups and downs, dreamlike legends, and it is endlessly evocative. Every time she softly sings the classic song of "Flowers Withering", we seem to feel the joy and emotion that cannot be concealed in her heart.
The award at this moment is not only an affirmation of the hard work in the past, but also the opening of a new chapter in life.
We all look forward to Sammi Cheng continuing to compose more dazzling and gorgeous movements on the stage in the future.
