An epidemic in 2020 has changed the living conditions of many Hong Kong artists, and the mainland is still the base camp for their work, after all, the epidemic control in the mainland is timely and powerful, and many industries have long recovered, including the entertainment industry. However, in the case of the epidemic, it is no longer as convenient to travel between the mainland and Hong Kong as before, because both sides need to be isolated, and at least 30 days of isolation time is wasted one after another, and in order to save this part of the time, many Hong Kong artists working in the mainland have chosen to live in the mainland for a long time.
The so-called long-term residence, not a month, two months, but half a year, or even a year, so many qualified Hong Kong artists have chosen to buy a house and settle in the mainland, such as Cecilia Cheung, Chen Haomin, Cai Shaofen is the whole family to develop north, and Guo Shaoyun, Li Yaoxiang simply bought a house in the adjacent area of Guangzhou, and now another Hong Kong artist Li Rilang is also settled in the mainland, he not only lives in the mainland for a long time, even the documents are replaced by the residence permit of the mainland, and the mainland residents have the same 18-digit ID number.
The development to the mainland has long become a general trend of Hong Kong artists, and the epidemic in 2020 has become a catalyst, because the mainland epidemic prevention work is done well, while Hong Kong has been seriously affected by the epidemic, and there is a situation where there are fewer meals and more monks, then continuing to develop north has become a major trend, and Li Rilang is also one of them. Retrospectively, Li Rilang has developed to the mainland as early as 11 years ago, although he did not become a popular artist, but in the decade of development, he has long tasted the sweetness of development in the mainland, more job opportunities, more opportunities to make money, if the Hong Kong and mainland work are compared, it is obvious that the home field has long been placed in the mainland, Hong Kong's work is necessary to take care of it, but speaking of it, Li Richang was once a well-known male star in Hong Kong.
Li Rilang's original stage name was Li Yilang, and both names were pronounced the same in Cantonese, so changing his name had little impact on him, and friends who knew him well might prefer to call him Li Yilang. Li Rilang originally debuted as a singer, handsome and sunny when he was young, and was once selected by TVB as the male protagonist of the idol drama "When The Four Leaf Clover Meets the Tip of the Sword", which was the limelight at that time. Later, he signed a contract with Emperor Records, and launched an album with Jiang Yawen as a couple group, becoming an idol of a generation of young boys and girls. However, what is more embarrassing is that Li Rilang's later development in Hong Kong showed too much diversification, lack of specialization, no representative works as a singer, and no great achievements in TV dramas and movies, and the star path slowly faded.
In 2010, Li Rilang ended his contract relationship with Emperor Records, in order to seek further development, he began to develop in the mainland, in these years of development, he encountered many new opportunities, such as in 2015 launched a cover album "Fly Me To the Earth", which covered Chen Huixian's "Silly Girl", because of the unique crying voice made him popular on the Internet. After 2016, he switched to behind-the-scenes work, self-written and self-directed online films, which received a high response after being broadcast in the mainland, participating in film festivals and receiving awards, which made him more and more famous in the mainland, the workload increased dramatically, and the entire focus of his work moved to the mainland.
In 2020, due to the epidemic situation, Li Richang was inconvenient to travel between Hong Kong and the mainland frequently, and he decided to live in the mainland for a long time, and he, like many Hong Kong artists, chose to settle in Shunde District of Foshan. Choosing to settle in Foshan, of course, is because it is close to Hong Kong and is very similar to life in Hong Kong, there is no problem of water and soil dissatisfaction, but during the period of long-term residence in Foshan, It also brought inconvenience to Li Richang in life. The so-called inconvenience is because life in the mainland is too convenient, which makes him a person who holds a Hong Kong identity card. Because living in the mainland, many businesses are carried out only with 18-digit identity cards in the mainland, while Li Rilang does not, and it becomes troublesome to handle related business.
In order to be able to live more conveniently and smoothly in the mainland, Li Rilang finally decided to apply for an 18-figure mainland residence permit (identity card) in the mainland. To his surprise, the process of applying for a certificate was simple and convenient, and the application was completed on the same day. After completing the certificate, Li Richang excitedly posted a new certificate on the social platform, only to see that he was holding the same certificate as the mainland ID card, the certificate had his original name Li Weile, and the address column was Shunde District of Foshan City, which meant that he had officially moved into Shunde District, and he was also proud to have officially become a Shunde person.
It is also worth mentioning that Li Rilang had already been vaccinated with Yuan Qiongdan, who was also developing in the mainland, in April, and he had long regarded himself as a Shunde person, and now he has a certificate in hand, which makes his Shunde identity justified.
