Born in Hong Kong in 1953, Banban, formerly known as Lai Xiaowen, grew up drinking Xiangjiang water, and was deeply influenced by the environment and humanity, and is an authentic Hong Kong person.

She has a particularly high literary and artistic talent, and began to learn dance at the age of 6, and her best skill is chacha dance, and she has also won the championship in an open competition.
After graduating from high school, Madara and her sister Sensen formed a band called "The Bumble Bees" with four other male musicians.
After the band was formed, Banban, who likes music, followed the band to participate in performances everywhere, and gradually gained a certain reputation in Hong Kong.
In 1973, Banban and her sister Sen Sen were photographed by TVB and participated in TVB's "Happy Tonight" program.
At that time, she and Sen Sen formed the "Sen Sen Spotted Choir", and collaborated with other singers to successively release singles such as "Kamikaze" and "Stars and Moon Without Sun", which received very good responses.
In order to let the public remember her faster, Banban, whose name was still Li Xiaowen at the time, deliberately gave her stage name "Binbin", but later because her mother had calculated it and thought that this name was unlucky, she changed her name to "Banban".
With TVB's "Happy Tonight" program, as well as those singles that have been released successively, Banban slowly emerged in the Hong Kong entertainment industry and began her acting career.

In 1974, after gaining a firm foothold in TVB, Banban officially set foot in the actor industry and developed as an actor.
Since 1974, Banban, who has been active in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, has successively participated in works such as "Laughing Couple", "Duo Tsui Street", "Old Master" and so on.
In these works, she plays a supporting role, and there are very few scenes, because of this, although she has participated in many works, she has not received much attention from the audience.
At that time, Banban's development focus was still on music, and as a singer, she has successively released many albums and singles, all of which have achieved good responses.
For example, her album "Stars, Moon, No Sun", single "Silly" and other works have been supported by many people.
After years of hard work, Banban has gradually gained a firm foothold in the entertainment industry, and his career has begun to rise gradually.

In the 80s of the last century, Banban focused on the entertainment industry, focusing on developing his career as an actor.
In 1981, she participated in the Hong Kong version of "Fengshen Bang", playing the role of "Wang Guiren" in the play, and after the play was broadcast, the response was enthusiastic.

After becoming popular with the work "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Banban left TVB and joined Hong Kong ATV, and then ushered in a breakthrough in his career.
Since 1983, Banban has participated in many film and television works one after another, and many of the characters portrayed have left a deep impression on the audience.
From "Ouyang Xue" in "Walking to Tiger Mountain Again" to "Queen Wang" in "Wu Zetian", to "Tangtai Jingming" in "Pingxia Film", "White Peony" in "Eight Immortals Across the Sea", etc., with the help of these works and roles, she became a popular actress in the Hong Kong entertainment industry at that time.
In addition to becoming popular in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, because many of the roles created by Banban are deeply loved and recognized by the audience, she also has a high popularity in the mainland, and was even invited to appear on the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala!

Since turning around and joining ATV, in addition to filming, Banban has also often hosted ATV's programs and become a host.
Due to her outstanding appearance conditions, she has attracted a lot of attention with her identity as an actress, and she has also developed vigorously in the host industry.
In 1985, when Banban's career was at its best, she was invited to appear on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala and served as the host of the party.
At that time, Ma Ji, Jiang Kun, Zhang Yu from the mainland, and Zhu Yuanyi, an actress and host from Taiwan Province, hosted the Spring Festival Gala with Banban, and it is worth mentioning that Zhu Yuanyi was also the first Taiwanese host to return to the mainland to host the show.
Compared with the Spring Festival Gala in other years, the Spring Festival Gala in 85 is particularly special and impressive, because there were problems in the preparation of this Spring Festival Gala.
This is the third year that CCTV held the Spring Festival Gala, when the funds for CCTV preparation were insufficient, it took the initiative to jointly hold the Spring Festival Gala with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, for which the "1985 Spring Festival Gala Sponsorship Commemorative Coupon" was specially issued, with a denomination of "one yuan", and set up awards, and the audience can draw with the commemorative coupons.
At that time, CCTV set up the first prize was a 14-inch panda color TV, the second prize was ten gold coins, the third prize was 100 silver coins, the fourth prize was 1000 copper coins, and the rest were all aluminum coins, and the audience who did not win the prize could also redeem the medal.
Although there were small episodes in the preparation of the Spring Festival Gala in 85, in the end it was not only successfully held, but also a great success.
With the help of the Spring Festival Gala stage, Banban also quickly became popular in the mainland and became a Hong Kong actress familiar and concerned by mainland audiences.
However, unlike the rapid development of his career, Banban was quite emotionally bumpy and even experienced a lot of setbacks.
Five
When his career was developing rapidly, Banban and actor Li Ganglong met, Li Ganglong's original name was Li Quanhou, 1 year younger than Banban, and he was a native of Hong Kong.
In 1975, Li Ganglong graduated from the Jiayi TV training class and debuted, and after the collapse of Jiayi TV, he joined Li's TV, which later became ATV.
Banban and Li Ganglong met at work, the two are talented and beautiful, of the same age, and have similar interests and hobbies, and they fell in love not long after they met.
After harvesting love, both of them are busy developing their careers, often separated from each other for filming, and their relationship gradually fades due to less gathering and more separation.
In 1986, when Banban's career was in full swing, she and Li Ganglong ended their relationship.
After separating from Li Ganglong, Banban later met actor Luo Shiqing, who was 3 years older than her and had participated in works such as "Sunset Red", "Midnight", and "Ten Strange Cases".
After Banban and Luo Shiqing met, the two met and fell in love with each other, and everything seemed to come together naturally.
Luo Shiqing was later plagued by illness and cancer, and in order to heal the other party, Banban took out all his savings and went bankrupt to save the man.
In 1992, when Banban was looking forward to the man's recovery, Luo Shiqing committed suicide by jumping off a building because he couldn't bear the torture of cancer, and passed away at the age of 42.
After experiencing two failed relationships, after going around and around, Banban finally gained a marriage, but unfortunately, this marriage was also not perfect.

After Luo Shiqing passed away, Banban met actor Hui Tianci again, Hui Tianci is a well-known martial arts star in Hong Kong, and was once as famous as Jackie Chan.
In addition to her own very good development, Hui Tianci's sister is also very familiar to everyone, she is a powerful actor and actress Hui Yinghong.
In 1996, Banban and Hui Tianci, who had been in love for a long time, entered the palace of marriage and became Hui Yinghong's sister-in-law.
When they first got married, Banban and Hui Tianci had a very good relationship, and the two loved each other inseparably, and became a fairy couple in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
In order to take care of the children and the family, in 1997, Banban resolutely gave up his career and became a housewife at home, but unfortunately this marriage did not last.
In 2001, due to personality differences and a disagreement with Hui Tianci, he decisively gave up this marriage and ended his marriage.
After the divorce, the children lived with Banban, and Banban did not return to the entertainment industry to develop, but stayed at home with the children.
Although they divorced Hui Tianci, when they were tied to both parties because of their children, they had always crossed paths after the divorce and regarded each other as friends.
What surprised her was that like her ex-boyfriend Luo Shiqing, her ex-husband Hui Tianci also passed away early due to the entanglement of illness.
In 2012, Hui Tianci, the brother of Hong Kong's well-known martial arts star and Hui Yinghong, was found to have died suddenly in his Beijing apartment at the age of 55.
Regarding Hui Tianci's sudden death, his sister Hui Yinghong later said in an interview: "It should be too much weight loss and exercise, eat less, and the body may not be able to bear the load." ”
Although Banban has already divorced him, Banban also feels very sorry for his passing.
Over the years, Madara has been dependent on her son, and under her care and nurturing, her son has grown up to be able to take charge on his own.
After no longer worrying about her children, Banban began to use her spare time to film, shooting some favorite scripts and roles, such as "Hibiscus Brocade", "South China Sea: The Four Famous Catches", "Black Gold Storm" and other works.
In 2024, Banban will be 71 years old, and she is too old, and now she rarely films anymore, and she rarely appears in front of the public.
For her, the most important thing now is to live happily every day, and as for the ups and downs and twists and turns of the past, let it go away with the wind.
