In 1991, at the age of 24, Guo was studying for a master's degree in electrical engineering at the University of Southern California. According to the plan at the time, she was supposed to finish her studies and continue her education, hopefully becoming an engineer. But fate likes to play tricks on people.
One day, a phone call from Hong Kong shattered Guo Aiming's peaceful life as a student. On the other end of the phone, the TVB staff enthusiastically invited her to return to Hong Kong to participate in the Miss Hong Kong selection competition.
This sudden invitation made Guo Aiming fall into deep thought.
However, the gears of fate have begun to turn. After careful consideration, Kwok was persuaded to take a break from his studies and embark on a flight back to Hong Kong.
The moment the results of the game were announced, the crowd was boiling. Guo Aiming won the favor of the audience and the judges with her talented performance, defeated Cai Shaofen, won the crown in one fell swoop, and won many awards such as "Miss International Goodwill" and "Best Conversation Humor", making her the most educated winner in the history of Miss Hong Kong in an instant.
This is how this intelligent and tasteful girl began her unique and legendary acting career. Who would have thought that it was this seemingly accidental decision that made her become the recognized "No. 1 White Moonlight" in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the years to come? This is just the beginning of Guo Aiming's wonderful life.
After Guo Aiming became Sister Hong Kong, her life changed dramatically. She signed a contract with TVB and became a new star that the company focuses on cultivating. In 1992, Guo Aiming ushered in his debut and starred in the TV series "The Great Era", thus officially entering the showbiz.
From this moment on, Guo Aiming's star journey has been soaring. In 1993, she played two roles in the TV series "Kiss", and her acting skills won unanimous praise from the industry and the audience. Everyone was surprised to find that this Hong Kong sister not only has the beauty of the country and the city, but also has amazing acting skills.
In 1995, Guo Aiming's outstanding performance in "Tianlun" was not inferior to Li Zi, Cai Shaofen and other powerful actors on the same stage. In the play, Guo Aiming, who is dressed in a wedding dress, has a happy smile on her face, her beauty and elegance are impressive, the audience is full of praise for her performance, and her light surpasses other well-known actors.
In 1993, Guo Aiming ushered in her screen debut - "Fang Shiyu Sequel". In this movie, she competes with a generation of kung fu superstar Jet Li and the glamorous Li Jiaxin, although Li Jiaxin is famous for her alluring appearance, but Guo Aiming's beauty is not inferior at all, and even faintly overshadows Li Jiaxin.
Her playful and smart appearance made the audience fall in love with her, and also let people in the industry see her huge potential.
Next, in "Criminal Investigation File 2", Guo Aiming once again showed his excellent acting skills, creating the character Lan Jiawen who is both ruthless and has a green tea temperament, and at the same time realistically shows the quality of a madman, making the audience feel both hatred and fear.
Guo Aiming's successful performance has further verified her extraordinary ability to control various roles.
Guo Aiming has been widely recognized by the industry for his hard work and talent. From 1993 to 1996, she won the Top Ten TV Artist Award issued by Next Magazine for four consecutive years, becoming a high-profile new generation actress at that time.
The audience speculated that with her momentum, winning the crown of actress and queen is just around the corner.
However, when everyone thought that Guo Aiming was about to reach the peak of her acting career, she made a shocking decision that shook the entire entertainment industry. This decision not only changed the trajectory of her life, but also enriched her legend.
What was it that made the rising star make such an astonishing decision at the peak of his career?
Guo Aiming's true son Liu Qingyun turned out to be a partner she met when she first stepped into the showbiz. However, the beginning of this relationship is not love at first sight as in a fairy tale, but full of drama.
At the time of the first cooperation, Guo Aiming was still a newcomer with immature acting skills, and a scene often had to be filmed several times. Although Liu Qingyun is the first time to play the leading role, he has 8 years of filming experience, and he has high requirements for acting skills.
In the face of Guo Aiming's performance, Liu Qingyun was inevitably a little dissatisfied, coupled with his serious nature and dark appearance, Guo Aiming was a little scared every time he saw him, so there was not much intersection between the two at first, but they seemed a little alienated.
However, fate always likes to play tricks on people. The unexpected encounter at Zhou Huimin's concert made the hearts of the two people pound, and they unexpectedly found that they had a lot of common topics with each other and too much tacit understanding with each other.
This encounter planted the seeds for their relationship, and as time passed, their relationship grew rapidly like a Lucky Star Chinese Restaurant.
Finally, Liu Qingyun couldn't hold back the restlessness in his heart and called his sweetheart Guo Aiming. Seeing Liu Qingyun's anxious appearance, Guo Aiming couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are you looking for me to borrow money?" Liu Qingyun wanted to speak and stopped, and after a long while, he said the sentence hidden in his heart: "I want to see you." This simple and sincere confession instantly melted Guo Aiming's heart.
However, when the two made their relationship public, it attracted a lot of doubts. In the eyes of others, this is a bloody plot of a "rich lady falling in love with a poor boy". Liu Qingyun was from an ordinary background, with a junior high school education, and a mediocre appearance, although he has been in the industry for many years, he has been playing tricks.
Compared with Guo Aiming, she has a superior family background, is highly educated, has outstanding appearance, and is still the Hong Kong sister praised by TVB Such an obvious gap makes many people skeptical about this relationship.
In the face of the disapproval of the outside world, Guo Aiming chose to stand by Liu Qingyun's side without hesitation. She once said: "In love, there is only love and unlove, and there is no deserving or unworthy." These words undoubtedly show her perseverance and courage in love.
After six years of love, Liu Qingyun proposed to Guo Aiming in a special way. He knelt down on one knee on the plane and said humorously: "Wife, I am the captain on the plane, and you have two choices, the first choice is that I marry you, and the second choice is that I open the plane door and let you choose for yourself." Faced with such an interesting proposal, Guo Aiming gladly accepted.
Subsequently, Liu Qingyun went bankrupt and spent millions to hold a wedding for Guo Aiming, but some people thought she was not worth the price, and some people even said that she was only happy on the day of marriage.
From an outsider's point of view, Guo Aiming chose to retire and devote himself to his family, rather than taking advantage of the situation to further develop his career, which made many people puzzled. This decision caused a sensation in the entertainment industry like a bombshell.
Many people find it difficult to understand why a woman with superior conditions would give up a good future for the sake of a man? If there is the same thing today, Guo Aiming may be labeled as a "love brain" and cause controversy.
In fact, she had already earned a double master's degree from the University of Southern California before participating in the Miss Hong Kong competition, and planned to pursue a Ph.D. If she hadn't participated in the competition, she might have finished her Ph.D. and become an engineer at NASA.
However, Guo never seems to regret his choice. She was once asked in an interview which one would she choose between Sister Hong Kong and NASA engineers? To everyone's surprise, she gave the third answer: housewife.
This answer expressed her truest thoughts in her heart.
After getting married, Guo Aiming fully supported Liu Qingyun's career. Liu Qingyun did not live up to his wife's expectations, he worked harder, and even set an astonishing record of shooting 27 films a year.
Although most of the time he was a supporting role, he never gave up his dream of acting.
With Guo Aiming's encouragement and support, Liu Qingyun has been waiting for his own spring. finally won the Best Actor Award at the Academy Awards in 2007 for "I Want to Be Famous", which is an important affirmation he has received after 24 years of hard work in the entertainment industry.
Liu Qingyun, who was standing on the podium, was proud, and Guo Aiming in the audience was in tears, and at that moment, their efforts were rewarded.
Guo's story teaches us that there is no right or wrong way to choose a lifestyle, and the key is how to face the choices you make. She chose a family, but this did not affect her self-improvement and the realization of her self-worth.
She is also supporting her husband's career and finding her purpose in life in the process.
With the passage of time, Guo Aiming and Liu Qingyun's relationship has become deeper and deeper, and they have become a recognized model couple in the Hong Kong circle. Their love story not only broke the doubts of the outside world, but also became a model that many people envied.
In 2015, Liu Qingyun won the Academy Award again. On the podium, he confessed affectionately to Guo Aiming: "Every time I fly a spaceship to the universe and I don't know where, you will always have a way to safely let me return to Earth." These sincere words touched everyone present, and also let us see the important position of Guo Aiming in Liu Qingyun's life.
After marriage, Guo Aiming and Liu Qingyun have always been with each other and have spent many wonderful and unforgettable times together. As long as he does not have a job, Liu Qingyun always takes his wife to North Africa to watch the sunrise, experience Christmas in the West, and enjoy the blue sea.
They travel the world together, experience together, and live life into a romantic trip.
Liu Qingyun is a good man who is careful and considerate, and he can always do his best to meet Guo Aiming's preferences. Every time he goes out, he will habitually hold Guo Aiming's hand, as if telling the sweetness of their love period.
Such a mutual affection makes people feel that their love can stand the test of time.
Looking at the happy life of this couple, I can't help but sigh: Is Guo Aiming's choice really wrong? Will she really regret it? Facts have proved that not only did she not regret it, but she gained a happy marriage that others envied.

She knows that whether she is working hard in the workplace or raising her husband and children, she cannot give up her personal growth and independence. It is this attitude that allows her to live a wonderful life even without Liu Qingyun.
Guo Aiming actually joined an act of daring to explore, which requires courage. But her choice was not blind, but based on her confidence in her own abilities.
She deeply understands that true independence is not limited to economic independence, but also to intellectual and spiritual independence.
