Among those beautiful Hong Kong female stars, Li Zi is a presence that cannot be ignored.
Even Cecilia Cheung has publicly stated:
"In this world, I only admit that Li Zi is prettier than me."
Li Zi's beauty is bright and delicate, and it is natural to carve.
She was born in "Rome", but she worked hard all the way, willing to be a "brother demon", married a disabled husband, and quit the entertainment circle at her peak.
Her life story is full of dog blood and regrets, but it is also touching.
Is she doing well now?
In 1971, Lai Was born into a prominent family in Hong Kong.
Her grandfather was Lai Man Wai, the "father of Hong Kong cinema", and her grandmother was the first generation of famous film stars in Hong Kong, Lin Chuchu.
Lin Chuchu
Before the age of 9, Li Zi lived a life of brocade and jade food, and was an authentic "white rich beauty".
In those days, her entertainment was enjoyable only to the wealthy.
Dancing ballet, playing the violin, learning piano, learning Chinese painting...
Unfortunately, such a happy time disappeared with the death of my grandfather and grandmother.
The Lai family fell apart due to the war for property:
Her hearing-impaired father, her mother without a background, and her and her younger brother are destined to be bullied in this farce.
Li Zi did not understand: why did the uncles and uncles become demons after the death of the grandparents who loved her the most?
In desperation, the family of four fled to the slum, crowded in less than 20 square meters, full of rat rental houses.
The family had to rely on Li Zi's mother as a truck driver to survive.
Such an embarrassing life, the family warm to each other is enough to survive.
In order to alleviate the financial pressure on the family, Li Zi came out to do odd jobs.
At the age of 14, he was discovered by a star scout and entered the show business circle and began to run dragon sets.
Everyone says that the entertainment industry is dirty, but Li Zi is not afraid.
Because acting can earn hundreds of dollars a month in living expenses, so that the family can live better.
In order to alleviate the financial burden of her parents providing for her and her brother to study, she chose to drop out of school and devote herself to earning money for her brother to study.
The word "home" runs through her soul from beginning to end.
She sacrificed for her family, and she was willing to eat.
In 1990, Li Zi, who ran the dragon suit for five years, was favored by TVB and starred in the first TV series "Nu Hai Lonely Hong".
After having a stable contract with TVB, Li Zi worked harder to take over the role.
She is not for the red, just to earn more money, she has filmed 11 film and television dramas in succession in 5 years.
In 1993, Li Zi played Zhou Zhiruo in "The Demon Sect Leader of the Dragon Slaughter record in the heavens", the veil was brushed off, and the glimpse was unparalleled in the world.
However, due to the "no refusal of the comers" for the script, Li Zi was bitterly criticized by the media:
"Li Zi is just a vase with no acting skills, throwing away her grandparents' faces!"
Until the release of the movie "Ancient Puzzle Boy" in 1996, Li Zi became popular overnight with "small stuttering" and was accepted by the public.
After that, her acting career was on the right track.
In 2001, the role of Zhao Min in "The Book of the Dragon Slayer in the Heavens" made her popular all over the two sides of the strait and three places.
In 2004, "Golden Branch Desire" exploded, and the little lord of Yuying, played by Li Zi, simply coexisted with the heart and machine, making people love and hate.
Taking advantage of this role, Li Zi took off the "vase" label after being awarded TVB double material vision.
And her family, at last, has a bit of a bitter meaning:
After graduating from hong kong Chinese university, her younger brother Li Bao went abroad for further study and obtained a master's degree.
After returning from school, he opened a skin care center.
The family raises a glass to celebrate.
Li Baby has always known how to be grateful to her sister, and after her career was on the right track, she gave Li Zi a credit card and once said to her:
"Sister, you used to work too hard, change me to take care of you in the future, you don't want to shoot, I will raise you."
The sincere words moved Li Zi to tears and was relieved.
Everything is moving in a good direction.
But fate played a huge joke on her.
In 2007, Li Zi became the "TVB Sister" who was highly anticipated and was at the peak of her career.
However, the younger brother was suddenly devastated:
The taxi was in a car accident, and the whole person was thrown out of the car, and the head was seriously injured and comatose, paralyzed.
Li Zi, who received the call from the hospital, collapsed like the sky.
The doctor told her:
Li Bao's situation is very tragic, the brain stem is like a cut moon cake, may become a vegetative person, even if you wake up is a disabled person who cannot take care of himself.
At that time, Li Zi was filming "Pearls".
In order to take care of her brother, she asked the crew to cut the scene.
Every day, I stay with my brother every step of the way, wipe himself, change diapers...
Under careful care, Li Bao woke up three months later, but also fell into a lifelong disability.
No matter how strong a woman is, there are times when she can't hold on.
Taking care of her brother's exhaustion, so that she has no intention of filming, but not filming, and there is no money to support her brother's convalescence fees.
At this time, Ma Tingqiang, a lame and wealthy businessman who was 15 years older than her, became her strongest backing.
"Don't be afraid, I'll raise you!"
Ma Yanqiang chased Li Zi for 6 years before he moved her.
For Li Zi, the most precious thing is nothing more than the companionship when she is at a low point and the support when she is helpless.
In 2008, "Pearls" was broadcast to great acclaim, but Li Zi announced her retirement from the entertainment industry.
In order to fulfill her brother's dream, she took over his medical aesthetic business.
Li Zi's withdrawal from the circle made many viewers feel regret.
People called her a "brother demon" and didn't understand why she was doing it.
For her own insistence, Li Zi said:
"I will defend my home like a soldier, it is my mission."
In 2009, Li Zi and Ma Yanqiang married.
And ridiculed by the public:
"What's the use of being pretty?" Not yet married to a disabled person! It's to repay the favor! ”
Li Zi proved with her actions that her choice was not wrong.
After marriage, they had three daughters and lived happily ever after.
The firm will has supported Li Zi through year after year.
The company she helped her brother manage was successfully listed in 2017, and Li Zi also has a net worth of nearly 1 billion.
Even though shrouded in darkness, Li Zi has always actively faced difficulties.
She is not a brainless "brother demon", she just has a grateful family and meets a lover who spends her life together.
The ups and downs of life made her firmly believe:
"When suffering, Fang knows that his family is precious."
