In 2014, the well-known gossip weekly "Next Weekly" issued a front-page report - the former Hong Kong sister champion, "selling queen" Tan Xiaohuan Causeway Bay selling fish eggs.
In the photo, Tan Xiaohuan is wearing a loose T-shirt, a neat short hair, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and looks a little fatter than when he was sitting as an artist.
Judging from the photos in the report, Tan Xiaohuan not only personally took care of the store, but also helped to pull goods into the house, which was very "hands-on".
After the report was issued, it immediately became a hot topic in the news at that time, why did the Hong Kong sister champion of the former scenery "fall" to this point?
Time back to 1994, Tan Xiaohuan, who had just finished his preparatory studies at Boston University in the United Kingdom, became a "flight attendant" of the airline because of her good looks and figure.
Just when the Miss Hong Kong campaign began, Tan Xiaohuan signed up for the election with the mentality of "trying it out", but he did not expect to advance to the final after five levels and six passes.
Pressing the elected hot spots in the same period, Li Qihong of the sweet department (Guo Xiang of the "Divine Eagle Hero") and Zhang Keyi of the beautiful department.

Tan Xiaohuan during the competition period is very much in line with the selection concept of "wisdom and beauty" of Miss Hong Kong.
Every year, when TVB selects Miss Hong Kong, it will make memories of the wonderful moments of the wisdom Q&A session during the selection of Hong Kong sisters in previous years, and broadcast them in the form of a promotional video.
In the wonderful collection every year, there must be a question and answer picture of Tan Xiaohuan when he participated in Hong Kong Sister in 1994.
Both the audience and the TV station unanimously recognized Tan Xiaohuan's emotional intelligence and on-the-spot reaction ability. Comparing herself vertically with the best players in the past, her performance is definitely one of the best.
After the end of Hong Kong sister, Tan Xiaohuan naturally signed a contract with TVB.
In the first few years, Taili was not unpopular with her.
Tan Xiaohuan's first debut was the sequel to the blockbuster movie "Ancient Puzzle Boy", "Raptors Across the River", although it was a fringed vase character kk.
But being able to get such a large exposure of resources shows that Taili attached great importance to Tan Xiaohuan at that time.
Just after the end of the competition, Tan Xiaohuan's audience popularity was also very good, out of this photo album, directly sold to out of stock, rushed to the first place in the star photo album sales list, higher than the "four kings" photo sales.
The Hong Kong media took advantage of the situation and gave Tan Xiaohuan a title of "Queen of Selling Faces".
At that time, Tan Xiaohuan not only looked beautiful, but also sang beautifully.
In the 1990s, the income level of Hong Kong singers was much higher than that of artists of the same level, and with the help of the east wind of "The Raptor Crossing the River", TVB pushed Tan Xiaohuan and Zheng Yijian to collaborate on a single.
After the release of the single, the response was very good.
About to eat the sweetness of being a singer, Tan Xiaohuan was reluctant to go back to filming and put the focus of his career on singing.
However, in the 90s, the song world Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Tan Xiaohuan, who was halfway out of the house, was naturally not enough to meet the hat of the "strength faction", and the way out of the "idol faction" was killed by the "four heavenly kings" at that time.
When a song is produced, the audience buys it freshly to listen to it, and then another song is produced, and the audience certainly does not buy it.
Tan Xiaohuan is still a "love brain".
Her career encountered a small bottleneck, and she did not think about how to seek a way out, but ran to fall in love.
At that time, Tan Xiaohuan's love object was dance teacher Huang Guorong, who was also a behind-the-scenes person in half of the showbiz circle, doing some concert and TV program choreography.
Tan Xiaohuan loves him so much that he wants to be with Huang Guorong all the time, and is even willing to follow him to do some work done by his 'assistant'.
In love for 5 years, Tan Xiaohuan not only abandoned the "singer" career, but even took the initiative to find the scene to the door.
In 2001, Huang Guorong sat in the position of the top dancer in the industry, and also broke up with Tan Xiaohuan, who had been in love for five years, according to media reports at the time, the reason for the breakup was the man's leg splitting.

After five years of returning to the screen, the world has long been not the world of Tan Xiaohuan's Hong Kong sister.
The audience has long stopped buying her account as a Hong Kong sister champion.
So Tan Xiaohuan can only start from a supporting role that does not have many scenes and the role is not pleasing.
In an interview earlier, Tan Xiaohuan said that he played a role with a very unpleasant personality in "Magic Hands and Benevolent Hearts" starring Norma Lin, almost everyone shouted and beat, and finally had to jump off the building to commit suicide.
The day of the scene where the character entered the coffin happened to be Tan Xiaohuan's own birthday, and she felt that the role was too annoying and really damned, and at the same time, she felt sad and aggrieved for herself.
Among the many villain screen images created by Tan Xiaohuan, the most impressive thing for mainland audiences should be "Ruan Yubao" in the second part of "Washed Injustice", which is really a tooth itch that people hate.
As Tan Xiaohuan's "mother's home", TVB at that time was still willing to be Tan Xiaohuan's "healing harbor".
Took the initiative to throw a joke to her, added a role that was not in the original script to her in "Xiao Eleven", and played the "Flower Like Jade" who was obsessed with Shao Meiqi.
Although the role is not very much, the memory point of the person is very strong.
After that, Tan Xiaohuan played a slightly more pleasing role, and also played the "Tianzun" in "Body Search", earning a lot of popularity.
When searching for stills, I found that tvb's prop group was really very cut.
This wig of Tan Xiaohuan's "Tianzun" was probably taken apart from the wig braid of the nine-tailed fox in Chen Haomin's version of the "List of Fengshen Gods".
Tan Xiaohuan is a typical "good scar forget the pain".
Just after the career has improved, he ran to fall in love again, this time for cai Qiangrong, an insurance executive.
This Cai Qiangrong has a very bad reputation in the industry, is a well-known flower heart, and the Hong Kong media has also given him a nickname, called "Hong Kong Sister Killer".
Cai Qiangrong is a well-known sister who loves Hong Kong, and has had rumors with many Hong Kong sisters before, and finally stopped here in Tan Xiaohuan.
Tan Xiaohuan and Cai Qiangrong have known each other for less than a year before they got married, and the wedding was quite beautiful.
At that time, Hong Kong media reported that the jewelry brought by Tan Xiaohuan's wedding, from ring to necklace, was at least six figures, and it seemed that he was indeed married to the "Golden Turtle Son-in-Law".

I don't know if it is because her husband has strong financial resources, Tan Xiaohuan said in an interview after marriage that "hard work will not be picked up again."
The media added fuel and vinegar to her words, and the report became a harsh working environment for TVB and mistreating artists.
After the report came out, TVB's reputation plummeted, and tvb was so angry that tvb no longer gave Tan Xiaohuan film and television work, and let her go to the branch station as a program host.
In this way, the work will no longer be "hard".
In 2012, Tan Xiaohuan and Wireless had a full contract, and if the contract was renewed, Wireless was only willing to give Tan Xiaohuan an additional 300 Hong Kong dollars per month.
Before that, Tan Xiaohuan's monthly salary on TVB was about 18,000 Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to about 14,000 yuan.
Tan Xiaohuan was completely heartbroken, so there was the aforementioned "Causeway Bay stall selling fish eggs".
According to media reports at the time, Tan Xiaohuan set up a stall in Causeway Bay to sell fish eggs, and also earned nearly 40,000 Hong Kong dollars a month, far exceeding the income of being an artist on TVB.
Some people say that Tan Xiaohuan selling fish eggs on the street is "down-and-out", but this is not the case.
Tan Xiaohuan's fish egg storefront is in Causeway Bay, which has always been known as "inches of land and gold", and can be said to be one of the most expensive commercial land in the world.
To be able to open a shop here without a little money in hand is not feasible.
And Tan Xiaohuan is very open, she said that she opened a shop because she and her husband like to eat fish eggs, but now there are fewer and fewer fish egg shops on the street with this traditional taste, so she simply opened one herself.
After being reported by the media, Tan Xiaohuan not only did not hide it, but completely put down the face of the "Hong Kong Sister Champion", and directly tore off all the magazine's reports on his selling fish eggs and pasted them on the door beam of the store, attracting countless citizens and tourists who came to watch the punch card.
After the explosion, Tan Xiaohuan's shop business is getting better and better, and three or four branches have been opened.
Citizens saw Tan Xiaohuan on the street and began to call her "Fish Egg Girl" directly.
But this year, Tan Xiaohuan's shop broke a "scandal", Tan Xiaohuan's fish egg shop was suspended due to the epidemic and reopened in April.
However, some employees actually checked the identity cards of guests entering the store at the door, because the store stipulates that only locals are accepted, not mainland residents or tourists.
After the news was exposed, there was a lot of controversy, and the staff of the relevant departments said that Tan Xiaohuan's shop did not have the right to check the identity of customers, let alone refuse mainland diners to enter.
As for Tan Xiaohuan's emotional road, it is not smooth as always.
Her husband, Cai Qiangrong, did not relent because he was married, and after marriage, he was often photographed by the media as being intimate with young women.
Two years ago, Cai Qiangrong was photographed kissing young women in nightclubs, and the reporter directly took the photo to the fish egg shop to ask Tan Xiaohuan if he knew.
At that time, Tan Xiaohuan was obviously stunned, but he still decently said that he needed to understand the context before making a conclusion.
Later, Cai Qiangrong came out and explained that it was a photo from a few years ago, and it was just for socializing.
The reporter asked Tan Xiaohuan's opinion again, and she said, "I understand the situation at that time, so after he explained, I clearly knew, and after understanding the whole thing, I forgave him." ”
Tan Xiaohuan really does not abandon this husband and does everything to maintain.
Not only did he come forward again and again to "forgive" his husband, but he also did not abandon him during his illness and took care of him closely.
A few years ago, Cai Qiangrong was ill with cancer and entered the park, and Tan Xiaohuan issued a "declaration of a virtuous wife" and publicly stated that "I will top the hard work." ”
Now Tan Xiaohuan's husband has recovered, and after being discharged from the hospital, her husband's weight has soared to more than 200, but Tan Xiaohuan has lost weight.
When interviewed by the media, he said that now the two main tasks of their two are to gain weight and lose weight.

After understanding Tan Xiaohuan's life, I can only sigh that in the entertainment industry, the so-called beauty can only be a "stepping stone", not a "pass".
If you want to stand in this circle for a long time, "strength" is the only guarantee.
Otherwise, when the times abandon you, even the "goodbye" will be stingy to tell you.
Do you remember this former "Hong Kong Sister Champion"?
