In 1990, 19-year-old Anita Yuen won the Miss Hong Kong crown with her pure and moving appearance and successfully stepped into the glorious showbiz. This Hong Kong-born girl has a confident glint in her eyes, and every move shows confidence and courage.
Little did she know, however, that confidence and courage were about to face a real challenge.
Anita Yuen has just tasted success, and she is intoxicated with the aura of the champion of Miss Hong Kong. She bluntly said: "Maybe because I won the championship, I think I am amazing. This kind of pride was particularly prominent in the Hong Kong film industry at that time.
Fortunately, at the beginning of her acting career, she met a noble man - Leslie Cheung. This superstar in the Hong Kong film industry saw through the pride in her heart and said to her sincerely: "There are no flowers that are red for a hundred days, and you have to check yourself." These words were like an alarm bell, echoing in Yuan Yuyi's heart for a long time.
However, the young and vigorous Yuen Yuen did not fully understand this good intentions. She maintains a straightforward personality and doesn't seem to realize the complexities of showbiz. In an interview, she bluntly criticized a TV series that was being filmed, saying that the characters' personality changes "like a neurotic."
This remark instantly angered the producers, causing her to be hidden by TVB for three years. Standing at the crossroads of her career, Anita Yuen began to realize the possible consequences of her words and deeds.
She later recalled in an interview: "At that time, I was filming a film, the first part of the male and female protagonists were still-for-tat, and the latter two dragged on without warning, this kind of character was difficult for me to accept, so I complained to the reporter that the script was written like 'neurotic'."
This experience became the lesson of Yuen's first acting career. Her agent told her that anything that happened in the future would need to be communicated to her first, not directly with reporters.
Since then, Anita Yuen's film appointments have decreased significantly.
This experience laid the groundwork for her future growth. The young Anita Yuen began to understand that in this highly competitive entertainment industry, in addition to talent and beauty, it is equally important to be cautious in words and deeds.
This is her transformation process from the champion of Miss Hong Kong to the rookie of acting, and it is also an important lesson in her life.
In 1995, Anita Yuen was at the peak of her career, and an important opportunity appeared - to star in the Jackie Chan movie "Thunderbolt" with an investment of up to 200 million.
was originally scheduled to take her acting career to another peak, but because of her misbehavior, it turned into the beginning of a nightmare.
Jackie Chan admired the prime of Yuan Yuyi and spent a lot of money to invest in the starring role for her. This is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for an actor who is just starting out.
However, Yuen does not seem to realize the importance of this opportunity.
During the filming process, Anita Yuen's frequent "skipping shifts" seriously affected the progress of the crew, and the highly praised Jackie Chan was very dissatisfied with this. Jackie Chan's face is full of disappointment and anger, but Yuen doesn't seem to realize how serious the consequences of her actions will be.
Things are getting worse and worse. When Jackie Chan asked to reshoot some of the shots, Anita Yuen often didn't answer the phone, which made the Hong Kong film bigwig very annoyed.
Jackie Chan is very influential in the entertainment industry, and his words are like lightning strikes, which can make an actor lose his foothold in the Hong Kong film industry.
After the filming of "Thunderbolt" ended, Anita Yuen did not appear in the public eye again. At this time, there was a theory that Jackie Chan and several directors in Hong Kong banned her for more than 20 years.
The fact that Anita Yuen was banned may become the first actress to be publicly banned by Jackie Chan.
Standing on the edge of the precipice of her career, Anita Yuen finally realized in shock that she had acted rashly and finally paid an extremely painful price. This experience became the biggest turning point in her life, and it was also the harsh reality she had to face.
However, fate always gives people a second chance. In 2017, with the efforts of Zeng Zhiwei, Anita Yuen and Jackie Chan finally reached a settlement. This is undoubtedly a major turning point for Anita Yuen.
Yuan Yuyi posted on social media with emotion: "Brother Jackie Chan made some gifts for me regardless of my past suspicions, it turned out that I had them before, I was really moved!" I continue to strive to be a good actor and live up to your expectations.
She also shared a photo of Jackie Chan and a photo of the "Thunderbolt" film gift specially prepared for her.
This reconciliation not only resolved years of grievances, but also gave Anita Yuen the opportunity to re-examine her professional attitude. Jackie Chan's tolerance and gifts made her feel deeply guilty and grateful.
This experience made Anita Yuen deeply aware of the importance of professionalism and professionalism in the entertainment industry.
From the top to the bottom, to the conflicts with multiple producers and directors, and the subsequent reconciliation, this experience became a key lesson in Yuen's acting career. This experience also laid a solid foundation for her future career development.
At the low ebb of her acting career, Anita Yuen's love life also fell into a lost path. She meets Hong Kong businessman Lo Siu-fai, a figure known in the entertainment industry for his romantic scenes and the limelight.
This relationship eventually became a small episode in Anita Yuen's life and an unbearable past.
For two years, Law paid HK$500,000 a month to Anita Yuen. This astronomical figure fully reflects Yuen's status in the eyes of wealthy businessmen, and at the same time reveals her urgent need for material life.
In a candid interview, Anita Yuen directly pointed out the essence of this relationship. "I often tell myself that I'm still young, but I know that this reason is not convincing, but when you meet a man who takes care of your life, so that you don't have to worry about it, your wish will come true the next day," she said. "
In this passage, there is not only a yearning for material life, but also a shame for one's own behavior.
What's even more shocking is that Anita Yuen admitted frankly on the show that she knew that Luo Zhaohui was married, but she still chose this relationship, and did not hide her true thoughts, and said bluntly: "I was greedy for vanity, and I couldn't see that the other party had a wife at that time." "
This frank attitude, although it caused shock among the public, also won the respect of some people for her courage to face the past.
However, what this relationship brought to Anita Yuan was not limited to money and material satisfaction, but more spiritual pain and scars. When she finally realized that she was just someone else's "little three", the pain and self-blame in her heart came like a tide.
She later said that she did not regret revealing this experience in public, but felt that this incident hurt her future husband Zhang Zhilin a lot.
This experience left a deep shadow on her future marriage. On the eve of her and Zhang Zhilin's wedding, Luo Zhaohui called Zhang Zhilin and made humiliating remarks, which made Yuan Yuyi's heart ache and made her cherish her relationship with Zhang Zhilin even more.
Anita Yuen said in a later interview: "I wanted to be honest about my life experience, but when they made an analysis, my only regret was that I hurt him (Zhang Zhilin).
You can continue to comment against me, but please don't make any attacks on him and don't target the people I love."
The setback of this relationship became a turning point in Anita Yuen's life. It made her understand her mistakes and learn to cherish her sincere feelings. From greedy vanity to heartache, Anita Yuen used her own experience to warn others, and also opened a new chapter in her life.
After experiencing the double failure of her career and relationship, Anita Yuan met the man who changed her life - Zhang Zhilin. In the face of Luo Zhaohui's insult to Zhang Zhilin on the eve of the wedding, Zhang Zhilin chose tolerance and understanding, which deeply touched Yuan Yuyi and laid the foundation for their marriage.
Married life is not all smooth sailing, Yuan Yuyi's hot personality has not changed, and the habit of buying bags has made Zhang Zhilin even more miserable. In variety shows, we often see scenes where Anita Yuen gets angry at Zhang Zhilin, and under Alice Yuen's strong aura, Zhang Zhilin always behaves gentle and tolerant, like a tamed kitten.
However, Zhang Zhilin's love for Anita Yuen has never diminished. When asked "what would you say to Anita Yuen if there were only 24 hours left in my life", Zhang Zhilin replied: "If I really want to leave, you tell me that the money is enough, then I will be relieved." "
These words fully reflect his deep love and concern for his wife.
Although Anita Yuan's habit of loving buying bags made Zhang Zhilin frightened, even before bungee jumping, she still shouted "Wife, don't buy bags anymore!" However, after so many years, Yuan Yuyi's bag has piled up.
He Jiong once teased Zhang Zhilin and asked him if he worked so hard because Yuan Yuyi wanted to buy a bag, and Zhang Zhilin's reaction was full of helplessness and pampering.
Zhang Zhilin once publicly said: In his eyes, Yuan Yuyi has no shortcomings. "Because the shortcomings you describe, or what she thinks of as her own, are nothing more than a person's character.
In my opinion, this is her frankness" He even said bluntly to Yuan Yuyi: "Please don't change yourself to cater to me, because you have done a very good job and have never let me down".
In the show "Wife's Romantic Trip", there is a dialogue that is very impressive. Zhang Zhilin asked Yuan Yuyi: "If I really disappeared in front of you, would you choose to find someone to take care of you?" Yuen Yuen responded after thinking: "No."
Zhang Zhilin also wanted to try to persuade her, saying what if she fell to the ground and couldn't ring the ambulance bell, Yuan Yuyi responded again: "Then forget it" This conversation fully shows the deep affection between them.
Zhang Zhilin sighed: "There are all kinds of accidents and health problems in this world. When I watch my partner grow old day by day, I think this is the most romantic thing and a great blessing. "
And Yuan Yuyi replied mischievously: "I must keep my health so that I can continue to bully Zhang Zhilin."
Known as the "fairy couple", this celebrity couple vividly interprets what it means to be in love with each other and stay together for a lifetime with their deep feelings. From the initial run-in to today's stay, the love story of Anita Yuan and Zhang Zhilin has been rumored to be a good story in the entertainment industry.
Today, 50-year-old Yuan Yuyi has learned to face the baptism of time. Time has left its mark on her face, but it has also made her more mature and stable. She is no longer the young and vigorous Hong Kong sister, but a mature woman who has experienced the ups and downs of life.

Anita Yuen found sincere happiness in her marriage to Zhang Zhilin. Despite her fiery personality, Zhang Zhilin's tolerance and understanding made this marriage stronger. She jokingly said: "I want to stay healthy and continue to bully Zhang Zhilin." "
Behind this sentence is the beautiful expectation and cherishment of the future life.
