exposed 1,400 photos that year, ruined Edison Chen, Cecilia Cheung's computer repairman, what happened?

A small computer repairman has brought a shocking storm to the entertainment industry, and many top superstars have even been ruined.

There are 1,400 "sexy photos", each of which is comparable to a "color film", but the protagonists in it are all popular actresses.

The male god Edison Chen retired from the circle because of this, and many well-known actresses such as Cecilia Cheung and Gillian still can't escape the shadow of that year.

set off such a big storm in the entertainment industry, what skills does this computer repairman have, and what is his fate?

1,400 "color" photos of actresses flowed out

"Do you still dare to ask someone else to fix the computer?"

"I'd rather buy another one than go out and fix it."

Although many years have passed, when talking about the incident again, Edison Chen, who has lingering palpitations, is still apprehensive.

In fact, not only did he dare not repair the computer, but since "A certain photo" came out, few other stars in the entertainment industry have dared to do so.

After all, the turmoil caused by computer repair back then can be said to have turned most of the entertainment industry upside down.

There are more than 1,400 photos, involving as many as 7 top actresses, and Edison Chen, as the protagonist of the topic, directly withdrew from the circle for some reason.

And the mastermind behind all this turned out to be just because of a small computer repairman.

The maintenance man's name is Xie Liqiao, and he was originally just an ordinary young man on the streets of Hong Kong.

One day in 2006, a strange man came to him with a computer for maintenance, and this person was Edison Chen's assistant.

At the beginning, Xie Liqiao, who was just repairing computers, didn't realize anything.

It wasn't until he inadvertently clicked on a private folder on the computer that he finally realized the seriousness of the problem when various large-scale photos came into view.

Because the male protagonists in the photo are Edison Chen himself, Xie Liqiao easily guessed the owner of this computer.

And the person who is with Edison Chen in these photos is none other than the hot and popular actresses in the circle, Cecilia Cheung, Gillian and others.

What's even more shocking is that unlike the image of a pure and jade girl on TV in the past, these popular actresses are all "dressed coolly" and have a slightly drunk expression in Edison Chen's photos.

counted down more than 1,400 photos, whether it was the scale or quantity, or the identity of the protagonist in the photo, it was enough to shock Xie Liqiao.

After discovering these photos, Xie Liqiao's first reaction was to copy and save them.

After all, such a hot actress photo, not everyone can easily see it, if you don't stay and enjoy it slowly, wouldn't it be too wasteful?

The actress's large-scale photos shocked the whole network

If things develop to this point, and Xie Liqiao only uses the copied photos for self-appreciation, then Edison Chen, Cecilia Cheung and others will not be affected.

But it's a pity that adhering to the idea of "it's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone", Xie Liqiao, who likes to share, finally spread the photos in his hand.

On January 27, 2008, a group of large-scale photos featuring Edison Chen and Zhong Xintong suddenly appeared on an adult website in Hong Kong.

Although Edison Chen in the photo only shows his full face, Zhong Xintong on the side is "short of clothes and less wear", and the key parts are fully exposed.

Shortly thereafter, an unknown netizen left a message under the post, claiming that all the pictures in the photo were true, and the matter was mainly leaked when Edison Chen was repairing his computer.

In the following day, large-scale photos of actresses Cecilia Cheung and Chen Wenyuan also began to circulate on the Internet.

Seeing so many photos of popular actresses, the first thought in the hearts of many netizens is "I don't believe it".

After all, no one thought that Edison Chen would be able to get involved with so many actresses one after another, and these photos were still circulated for the strange reason of "repairing computers".

Cecilia Cheung's Emperor Entertainment also issued a clarification announcement immediately, saying that the pictures in the photos are all "grafting" and are not true.

Zhong Xintong's fans have launched a global alliance for this purpose, and they are bound to seek justice for their idols.

Although the actions of all parties are very timely, as more and more photos are released, the authenticity of this set of large-scale photos is more and more believed by the public, and the people involved in the incident, Edison Chen, Cecilia Cheung and others have also begun to fall into a huge public opinion storm.

Because there were too many suspects suspected of disseminating the photos, it was difficult for the department personnel in charge of investigating the incident to find the source of the photos for a while.

On January 31, the first suspect, Zhong, was arrested.

But unfortunately, according to the analysis of the case-handling personnel, this Zhong is not the first person to post the photo.

Soon after, the second suspect was arrested, and Edison Chen, the party involved in the incident, also publicly issued an apology statement in front of the media.

After two arrests in quick succession, investigators finally determined that the original originator of the photo was a computer repairman.

Following this clue, Xie Liqiao, who repaired the computer for Edison Chen, was soon arrested.

Because the photo has been widely disseminated and the social impact of this time is also huge, the punishment Xie Liqiao faces is also very serious.

But unfortunately, although the suspect has been arrested, the parties affected by this "certain photo" incident will never be able to return to their original lives.

The actress involved was affected

As a pure jade girl in the hearts of countless audiences, Zhong Xintong, who was released with large-scale photos, must not be deeply affected.

In the time that had just passed, she was on the verge of a mental breakdown, and she didn't even dare to show her face in public.

The insults and doubts from the outside world, the encirclement and interception of reporters and the media, and the constant questioning, all of this made Zhong Xintong unbearable.

It wasn't until many years later that she finally had the courage to stand in front of the camera again.

At the same time, Chen Wenyuan, another victim in the incident, also lost the opportunity to marry into a wealthy family because of this "certain photo" incident.

Of course, as the person directly responsible for this turmoil, Edison Chen was even more affected by this.

When the matter was not resolved, he was threatened to quit the circle by unknown people after receiving a threatening letter.

After the incident ended, Edison Chen, who knew that he was guilty, also lost the confidence to operate in the entertainment industry, and finally chose to withdraw from the circle to stay away from the turmoil.

In contrast, Cecilia Cheung, who was a smash hit at the time, was the one with the best mentality among those involved.

Although her career was also affected at the time of the incident, everything she worked hard to manage was almost burned.

But Cecilia Cheung, who has never been defeated, did not choose to retreat, she was born unruly, and she still returned to the public eye with her proudest attitude.

It can be seen that no matter what happens, everyone should never punish themselves for the mistakes of others.

Only when you have the courage to muster up your own courage will you have the confidence not to be defeated by any difficulties.
