Kwan was born on March 11, 1966 in Sau Mau Ping, Kowloon, Hong Kong, to a vegetable vendor. She spent an ordinary childhood in this ordinary community, and probably never thought that she would form an indissoluble bond with the entertainment industry.
After graduating from secondary school, Kwan became a dance teacher. may be due to the elegant temperament given by dance, which made her begin to yearn for the entertainment industry. In 1987, at the age of 21, she resolutely decided to participate in the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant.
Although she unfortunately failed to win the championship as she wished, this experience opened the door to the entertainment industry for her.
After Guan Xiumei lost the election, she originally planned to continue to live an ordinary life of selling vegetables. However, fate gave her an unexpected surprise. TVB took a fancy to this girl full of aura and took the initiative to sign a contract with her.
Since then, Guan Xiumei has officially stepped into the showbiz and started her journey to stardom.
Although Guan Xiumei, who has just entered the industry, has won many performance opportunities, she has failed to become popular. Until she met the person who changed her fate - Wang Jing. When the famous director was preparing for "Hardcover Chasing Girls", he personally named Guan Xiumei to play a supporting role.
For Guan Xiumei, who has just debuted, it is undoubtedly a good opportunity to participate in the film directed by Wang Jing. She joined the crew with mixed feelings, hoping to become famous through this fight.
However, the actual situation was not so smooth, and this cooperation did not make Guan Xiumei popular as she wished.
For Guan Xiumei, this experience may not have made her famous overnight, but it laid the cornerstone for her future acting career. She immersed herself in learning and gaining experience on the set, laying a solid foundation for future success.
More importantly, her fate with Wang Jing also started because of this, which brought a new turn for her acting career.
The relationship between Guan Xiumei and Wang Jing can be said to be an important turning point in her acting career. In 1995, Wang Jing once again invited Guan Xiumei to participate in "Rat Guts", although she only appeared as a supporting role, but the two took this drama as an opportunity, and the relationship underwent subtle changes.
At that time, Wang Jing and Qiu Shuzhen were incompatible because of emotional problems, and their relationship was on the verge of collapse. Guan Xiumei, who sensed the opportunity, struck decisively, knowing that in this competitive circle, no one would refuse the opportunity.
Relying on her charm and wisdom, Guan Xiumei gradually won the favor of Wang Jing.
With the passage of time, Guan Xiumei has emerged among Wang Jing's many actresses and has become a new generation of "Jing Girl". She began to appear frequently in Wang Jing's works, such as Ruby in "Dragon in Jianghu", Yamei in "Love You 8 Hours a Day", and Daisy in "Dragon on the Edge".
These roles not only exercised Guan Xiumei's acting skills, but also left a deep impression on her in the hearts of the audience.
Wang Jing's cultivation of Guan Xiumei is obvious, not only giving her a lot of performance opportunities, but also personally instructing her how to show her charm in front of the camera. "Want to be red? You've got to show it! Wang Jing's words became a turning point for Guan Xiumei.
During the filming, Guan Xiumei took the initiative to ask for more drama, and even did not hesitate to appear on camera with her wet, which made her completely popular.
With the passage of time, the relationship between Guan Xiumei and Wang Jing has become more and more ambiguous. Wang Jing publicly admitted that Guan Xiumei was her "confidant", and the scandal between the two had been intermittent for seven or eight years.
The media has photographed them dating each other many times, which shrouded the relationship in an ambiguous atmosphere.
For Guan Xiumei, Wang Jing is like the Bole of her career, and she is also an indescribable existence in the emotional world. She relied on the big tree of Wang Jing and walked to the peak of her acting career step by step, leaving countless figures on the movie screen.
Her status has risen rapidly, and she is not inferior to mainstream actresses such as Yang Gongru and Zhu Yin at that time.
Despite this, this relationship also caused problems for Guan Xiumei. She has never been able to get rid of the label of "Jing Girl", and it is difficult to get rid of the ambiguous relationship with Wang Jing. This complicated love affair has become the most prominent and controversial part of Guan Xiumei's acting career.
In Guan Xiumei's emotional world, she and Qian Jiale publicly admitted their relationship. Although the time is short, it is one of the few public loves. This relationship took place during the ups and downs of her career and added a unique touch to her life.
Under the introduction of a friend, Guan Xiumei got acquainted with Qian Jiale. At this time, Qian Jiale was serving as the host of TVB's "Super Invincible Award Door", born in 1965, one year older than Guan Xiumei. When the two met, Guan Xiumei was at a low point in her career, and once quit the circle to start a business but failed.
She was dressed in a red dress and had a depressed face, like a puffin contemplating birds on the seashore.
However, the appearance of Qian Jiale seems to have brought new hope to Guan Xiumei. They quickly fell in love and openly confessed the romance. The relationship lasted for more than a year, but ended in a breakup due to personality incompatibility.
Despite this, this relationship brought a lot of joy and comfort to Guan Xiumei.
After experiencing a breakup, Guan Xiumei returned to TVB filming, perhaps it was the frustration in the love field that made her more focused on her career, and her acting career began to reach its peak. In 1998, she played Yamei in "Love You for 8 Hours a Day" and was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Horse Film Awards, which was an important milestone in her acting career.
Since then, Kwan has played an important role in many films. In "Dragon on the Edge", she played Daisy, the wife of the golden gangster Feilong; In "King of a Thousand Kings 2000", she starred as Liang Kuan's girlfriend Pizza.
When playing these two roles, Guan Xiumei sometimes looks heroic and cool, sometimes lively and cheerful, and she has won the love and praise of the audience with her strong acting skills and changeable screen image.
Guan Xiumei often plays the wife and mistress of the black boss in movies, so she is praised as "the first godmother of the gang". During this period, her acting career reached its peak, with a steady stream of film and television resources, a rapid increase in coffee position, and the popular actresses Yang Gongru and Zhu Yin at the same time were not inferior to competing on the same stage.
However, just when her career was booming, Guan Xiumei began to frequent entertainment venues and lived a life of singing and singing every night. This lifestyle may be an escape from her past failed feelings, or it may be an indulgence after her career success.
In any case, Guan Xiumei during this period seems to have found a delicate balance between career and emotion.
In November 2002, Guan Xiumei encountered a huge change. A drunk driving at a drinking party caused a car accident, and she actually tried to shift the blame to her boyfriend, but this deception was exposed by the police, and Kwan Xiumei, who obstructed justice, was sentenced to 14 days in prison.
This incident has dealt a huge blow to Guan Xiumei's image. The once popular "Jing Girl" became a "drunk driving actress" in the mouth of the media overnight. After being released from prison, her good image was gone, and her career was seriously affected.
At the same time, the relationship between her and Wang Jing gradually broke down, and Wang Jing found a new darling - Chen Wei, the former first sister of ATV. Guan Xiumei gradually lost her former aura. During this period, Guan Xiumei experienced a double blow of career and relationship, and fell into a low point in her life.
However, Guan Xiumei did not give up because of this. In 2006, she followed Wang Jing to the mainland and took over the filming of the TV series "Rainstorm Pear Flower", and played the role of Shen Die in the play. This performance seemed to be the curtain call of her acting career, and then she chose to retire from the circle completely.
In 2015, Guan Xiumei, who has been in the entertainment industry for many years, chose to switch to the business world and was very successful. She bought a mansion on Conduit Road with 40.5 million yuan, demonstrating her outstanding business acumen and strength.
During this period, Guan Xiumei lived a plain and comfortable life. She is passionate about volunteering and can be found all over the world. It seems to be looking for some kind of inner peace. From the former "Jing Girl" to the current successful businessman, Guan Xiumei has completed the transformation of her life in her own way, showing strong resilience and vitality.
In 2006, Guan Xiumei had a spark with Li Weishang during the filming of "Dragon in the Rivers and Lakes" and began a relationship that lasted for more than ten years. Li Weishang, born in Australia in 1972, 6 years younger than Kwan Xiumei, is an actor who has participated in works such as "The Doomsday Storm of the Yajiao Archives" and "Dangerous Corner", and was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards.
Guan Xiumei and Li Weishang sparked a spark of love in the crew and quickly fell in love. Their relationship is different from what they have experienced in the past, and it seems extraordinarily solid and low-key. Although Li Wei's development in the film and television industry is not smooth, after he changed his career to become a professional fund manager, his economic situation is quite good.
In 2009, some media photographed him driving a jeep worth 800,000 yuan, driving Guan Xiumei to go shopping and buy clothes, showing their sweet daily life.
Some people say that Li Weishang has successfully proposed to Guan Xiumei, but the two did not hold a wedding. This long love run has lasted for more than ten years, although there are no rumors of a breakup, but I have not heard the news of marriage, which has become a good story in the entertainment industry.
Although both have retired from the entertainment industry, they have always maintained close contact with friends in the entertainment industry, and occasionally attend some events, such as Wu Yanzu's bar party, and take photos together.
Guan Xiumei found inner peace in Li Weishang. This relationship has no vigorous confession, nor a high-profile wedding, but it has been together day after day. Perhaps for Guan Xiumei, who has experienced ups and downs, this kind of plain and lasting love is what she really needs.
After Guan Xiumei retired from the entertainment industry, her life was dull but satisfying. She successfully transformed into a businessman, and her career once again achieved remarkable results. In addition, she is also passionate about philanthropy and actively participates in various volunteer activities to give back to the society in her own way.
She also likes to travel the world and enjoy the free time after retiring from the circle.
Looking back on Guan Xiumei's emotional journey, from her short relationship with Qian Jiale, to her ambiguous relationship with Wang Jing for seven or eight years, and now to her stable and long-term partnership with Li Weishang, we have seen the growth and precipitation of her emotional world.
Her experience seems to be a microcosm of the bizarre world of the Hong Kong entertainment industry, full of ups and downs and ups and downs.
Kwan Xiumei was once fearless of the eyes of the world, stood out with her sexy image, and stood out in the Hong Kong circle. Her life has undergone a transformation from an ordinary girl to a well-known sexy actress, experienced the peaks and troughs of her career, and finally chose a peaceful life.
This experience made her cherish her current bland happiness even more, and also gave her a deeper understanding of life.
Today's Kwan Xiumei has found her own direction in life, and her story is like a touching song of life, which has left a unique mark on the stage of Hong Kong's entertainment industry.
