1. The legendary life from Sister Hong Kong to the actress
Maggie Cheung, a actress who was once popular all over the country, has now been away from the entertainment industry for 19 years. Time flies, and now she is 59 years old, but she has recently been exposed again to the appearance of leisurely shopping on the streets of Hong Kong, which has aroused widespread attention.
Born in 1964 into a wealthy family in Hong Kong, Maggie Cheung received a good bilingual education from an early age. In 1982, she entered the showbiz after being discovered by a talent scout, and with her excellent acting skills and stunning appearance, she soon became the hottest new generation actress in the film industry at that time. In 1983, she made her official debut with the TV series "Draw a Rainbow", and then starred in many well-received film works such as "The Frog Prince" and "Fate".
In 1987, Maggie Cheung and the then popular director Er Dongsheng fell in love publicly, and this cross-border relationship received widespread attention. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and it only lasted 3 years before ending in a breakup. Since then, Maggie Cheung has had relationships with many businessmen, stylists and others, but they all ended in disappointment. It wasn't until 1998 that she married French director Olivier Assayas, and the two announced their divorce after less than 5 years together.
Despite the ups and downs in her relationship, Maggie Cheung's career has been thriving. She has won 11 Best Actress Awards for many films such as "People in New York", "Ruan Lingyu", and "In the Mood for Love", including international awards such as Cannes Film Queen, Berlin Film Queen, etc., and can be called a well-deserved "Man God".
But just when her career was in full swing, Maggie Cheung suddenly announced her retirement and stayed away from the public's sight.
2. The "Man God" who lives alone
Maggie Cheung's recent situation after disappearing for 19 years has become a hot spot of everyone's attention. Recently, a video of her shopping on the streets of Hong Kong circulated on the Internet, which once again sparked widespread discussion.
In the video, Maggie Cheung, 59, dressed in simple casual attire, wearing a mask and sunglasses, leisurely walks around the streets, occasionally talking to vendors. This is very different from her noble image on the screen in the past, with a slightly "shabby" feeling.
Some public opinion believes that this is because Maggie Cheung has suffered something that has caused her to live in poverty now and has to live in the so-called "slum". But Maggie Cheung herself soon came out to refute the rumors, she said on her personal social account: "What are you talking about living in the slums, open your eyes and take a look, it's clearly full of relaxation, okay?"
Indeed, judging from the short video shot by Maggie Cheung, her current living environment is not a slum, but an ordinary apartment building. Although it is not a luxury house, the surrounding facilities are relatively complete and can fully meet the needs of life.
In this video, we can also see that as a former actress-level star, Maggie Cheung has now fully integrated into the lives of ordinary people. Instead of using a nanny car, she chose to ride a bicycle with her friends, and roamed the bridges and parks in the city. In the video, she has a satisfied smile on her face and looks very relaxed.
It can be said that this has completely subverted people's stereotypes of her. Everyone originally thought that as the "Man God" of the year, even at the age of 59, she should live a luxurious life and live in a mansion. But in reality, she has stayed away from the red carpet and has chosen a simple, unpretentious lifestyle and lives an ordinary life.
3. A free and easy life without marriage and children
For Maggie Cheung, the "God of Man", although today's life is simple, it is quite free and easy. She has completely distanced herself from marriage and has become very comfortable on this issue.
In a previous interview, Maggie Cheung once admitted that she was "not suitable for marriage" and admitted that she needed love. This may be an important reason for her many relationship failures. However, she seems to have let go of this matter a long time ago, choosing to live alone and pursue the lifestyle she wants.
As a woman who has received a good education since she was a child and has achieved great achievements in her career, Maggie Cheung has chosen to live a free and easy life alone, and there is no lack of wisdom and courage. In her view, getting married and having children is not the only way to achieve self-fulfillment. Instead, she prefers to have autonomy and the ability to organize her life as she pleases.
Not only that, Maggie Cheung is also very enthusiastic about public welfare undertakings and gives back to the society in her own way. She has shared many photos and videos of charity events on her social platforms, and it can be seen that she has been contributing to others.
In general, at the age of 59, Maggie Cheung has found her own independent and free way of life. Breaking free from the shackles of the past, she was no longer bothered by marital and emotional problems, and instead chose to focus on self-actualization and giving back to society. Such a state of life also made many netizens sigh: "It's too sassy!"
It can be said that this former "Man God" has now completely reshaped his life trajectory and has become a truly self-actualized free and easy woman. Although she has been away from showbiz for many years, she is still a model to be respected and emulated.
