Recently, Li Qihong, who has been low-key for a long time (Hong Kong media use Li Qihong, and the mainland has always used Li Qihong, so the following text is still commonly used in the mainland) has been reported by Hong Kong media.
It turned out that Li Qihong and her mixed-race son Li Zhide (Tate) participated in an exclusive interview with HOY anchor Wang Lingyan and talked about their careers and some unknown things.
Li Qihong entered the entertainment industry in the 1994 Miss Hong Kong competition, when she was studying for a master's degree, and heard her relatives say that Sister Hong Kong could get a lot of bonuses and go to Italy to shoot locations, so she went to participate in the competition.
The competition for that year's Hong Kong sister was very fierce, in addition to her online appearance, she also won the third place and the most popular media award with her sensitive adaptability.
After her debut, Li Qihong was reused by TVB, and starred in the Taiwanese drama "A Sir Morning" in her first play, and it was Liming who played opposite her.
And Guo Xiang in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has become another of her masterpieces, which is also the most popular version among mainland audiences.
Another popular role she has in the mainland is the brutal and spicy little pepper in "The Peerless Shuangjiao".
In terms of films, she was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for "Stormtroopers: Streets of Fury".
Growing up abroad, she still has a bit of a "ghost girl character", wheat-colored complexion, strong motor cells, once participated in the women's triathlon in Thailand, and was named "Iron Man Hong Kong Sister" by Hong Kong media.
But just when her career was booming, she suffered from depression.
After entering the entertainment industry, she took on the responsibility of supporting her family, desperately took over the job, and helped her family buy a property in Canada, but her body and spirit were seriously overdrawn because of this.
When filming "Farewell Love in Gu Cheng", because the character's emotions were too depressed, coupled with the pressure of life and career, she was diagnosed with depression and even had suicidal thoughts.
In the most painful moment, fortunately, her boyfriend who has been dating for many years was always by her side, and with the help of her boyfriend and doctors, she only recovered after 9 months of treatment.
After filming dramas such as "Before and After Lu Xiaofeng's Decisive Battle" and "Silk Road Heroes", she reduced her work in the entertainment industry. After she got married in 2004, she simply quit the entertainment industry.
However, after marriage, her husband worked as a bar clerk, and then failed to start a business, and she was always responsible for supporting the family, and the pressure was very high, which led to a recurrence of depression, but her husband has always been by her side.
She has made a comeback to shoot many film and television dramas such as "The Peerless Businessman" and "Long Live My Husband", but the word-of-mouth and ratings are not as expected, and she was ridiculed because of maintenance problems. However, she doesn't evaluate her appearance in the accident world, she just wants to live comfortably and how to come.
In 2013, after making a cameo appearance in the movie "Beijing Meets Seattle", she faded out of the public eye and focused on re-studying her nursing course.
After graduating in 2015, she transitioned into a nurse with a focus on child psychiatry. But because I wanted to film from time to time, I didn't work as a full-time nurse.
In 2019, she also went to Japan with Tam Siu-huan to shoot "Miss Goodwill Hong Kong", and then returned to Canada.
In recent years, she has no appearance anxiety, but accepts the fact that she is getting old very calmly, and generously posts her no-makeup photos on social platforms.
This time she was interviewed, mainly to promote her new play, she bluntly said that she had not filmed for 10 years, this time she made a Canadian movie, in the movie she played the boss who ran an underground casino, but she also had a little regret: "I was a little disappointed, because of the play, but the director didn't let me play." ”
She also revealed that during the filming process, her son went to visit the class: "He is a professional athlete, I thought he would be interested in learning martial arts when he saw the martial arts instructor, but who knew that he was very scared when he saw it, he said that he was too desperate." ”
Her son Tate also said that he was very cool to see his mother in front of the camera, and he also hoped to have the opportunity to try it out in filming, but he currently prefers his work as an athlete, so he has no plans to do it in front of the camera at this stage.
Li Qihong, who once suffered from depression, is now much happier, she admitted that she did not know that she had emotional illness before the condition reached its worst moment, but now she has seen it and her mind has changed.
Every morning after she gets up, she adjusts her breathing and mood, so that she does not have to worry about the future, and does not think about the unhappy things in the past, because the unhappy things have happened or will happen, and they have to be faced. Sometimes it's better to get caught up in negative emotions than to have more time to do other things.
She enjoys her current state of life and dresses up whenever she wants, without worrying about wrinkles. The most comfortable thing is that I am no longer afraid of the sun, because I used to be scolded for tanning and affecting my photogenic appearance.
Beauty is in the bones, not in the skin, for her, appearance is not the most important thing, what is old is only the appearance, and being able to do what she wants is the most important thing.
I don't know if her son, after retiring as an athlete, will he consider joining the circle?
