Not long ago, Hong Kong celebrity Shangshan Shina posted a group of photos on social platforms and wrote in the caption: My dearest Mr. Jiang, happy birthday...
It turned out that Tse Tingfeng's mother, Deborah, took a sweet photo at the 74th birthday party of her current husband, Jiang Yaocheng, and showed great love.
Worthy of being a former Hong Kong sister champion, the Deborah in the photo still has the charm, and it is impossible to see that it is 70 years old.
People can't help but ask, what kind of beauty did she look like when she was young?
01 The most "lucky" abandoned baby
Deborah, soon after her birth, was abandoned at the doorstep of others, and it is still unknown who her biological parents were.
She grew up looking cute, with three-dimensional features and fair skin, so some people speculated that she was of mixed race.
In this way, she lived in the orphanage until she was about 2 years old, and she was adopted by a family surnamed Li, and since then she has had her first name, Li Minyi, and later changed to Li Yan.
Until after engaging in acting work, in order to make himself look more foreign and fashionable, he took the transliteration of the English name "Deborah" and gave the name Deborah.
Some say she was lucky to be adopted, but to jump from one quagmire to another.
Not long after, the adoptive parents gave birth to another son, and the deep-rooted patriarchal mentality put her eldest daughter, who was not related by blood, in the heat of the water.
At that time, the meaning of Deborah's existence was to be the pump of adoptive parents, plus to take care of her brother.
In order to earn tuition for her brother, she was sent to the song and dance troupe to perform before she was 10 years old.
Fortunately, these did not cast a shadow on her young mind, but because of the experience of performing around, she had the opportunity to contact more people, and became cheerful, generous and strong.
Coupled with her already pleasing appearance, the true god of luck soon descended on her.
In 1973, TVB held the first "Miss Hong Kong", which attracted countless young and beautiful girls, and it should be known that the immortal goddess Zhao Yazhi was only the fourth place.
At this time, the 22-year-old Deborah became more and more sexy and exquisite, with years of accumulated stage experience, and the already proud appearance and figure, stood out among the beautiful women, becoming the first Hong Kong sister champion in the 70s.
After that, she represented Hong Kong to the Philippines to participate in the "Miss Asia" election, and once again won the crown.
However, the budding Deborah did not rush into the film and television circle like other Hong Kong sisters, but chose a more secure path - serving as a host in the two TV programs of "A Hundred Flowers Blooming" and "Considerable Years" of Li's TV Station (the predecessor of Hong Kong Asian Television).
Although it is the first time to be a host, the experience of going south and north for many years has given Deborah the capital not to be afraid and not to be afraid of the stage.
In the show, she is humorous and lively, witty, whether it is the way of hosting, or the appearance and aura, she quickly accumulated a wave of popularity for the new host.
Seeing that her fame was getting bigger and bigger, and her popularity was getting higher and higher, the famous Jiahe Film Company quickly threw an olive branch to her.
In 1974, Deborah resigned from Leigh's television station to become a contracted actor for Jiahe.
The following year, Deborah starred in her first film, "The World of a Thousand Worlds", in which the charm and cunning of the prostitute Golden Orchid were vividly interpreted by her.
After the release of the movie, although the box office is not high, it is highly acclaimed, and Deborah also got a ticket to TVB.
From this moment on, Deborah's "Shuangwen" life officially began!
02 The most "dare to take off" Hong Kong sister
In the same year, Deborah aimed at the opportunity and jumped to TVB again, becoming the host of the ace variety show "Happy Tonight".
This show not only coexists with light and funny and bold innovation, but also transmits positive energy.
Sure enough, after the broadcast, it caused a strong response, and soon became popular throughout Hong Kong, becoming a must-have relaxation program for Hong Kong people on weekends and a collective memory for generations.
Random shows have become more popular, and the popularity of supporter Deborah has increased again.
In 1976, Deborah starred in the first TV series in TVB history to exceed 100 episodes, "Frenzy".
At that time, the drama was broadcast for 6 months, and Deborah was also out of the circle and became popular in the Hong Kong film and television industry.
After that, she starred in the TV series "Policewoman Susse".
Unexpectedly, when her career was on the rise, Deborah did not play her cards according to the routine.
In 1977, after the expiration of her contract with TVB, she did not renew her contract, but cooperated with Shaw Film and Television and began to completely release herself.
First of all, she was invited to participate in the "Dream of the Red Chamber of Jin Yu Liangyuan" directed by Li Hanxiang, and the original director wanted her to play Xue Baochao and play with Lin Qingxia and Zhang Aijia.
As everyone knows, Deborah, who has been debauched and loves freedom all her life, only loves the heroic righteousness of the purple crane.
The director made an exception to add a scene to her, so that her role was second only to the two leading actors in the film.
Subsequently, Deborah starred in the erotic film "Hong Kong Emmanuel" directed by WenHua.
In the film, there are many large-scale scenes, Deborah does not use a stand-in, boldly nude, good figure at a glance, attracting unlimited reverie.
At this point, she became the first Hong Kong sister who "dared to take off".
After the film was released, it became a sensation in Hong Kong and caused great controversy.
Deborah, who dedicated herself to art, also became famous and came to the peak of her career.
At the age of 26, Deborah is full of charm and sexy.
How can she be emotionally blank?
03 The most "twisty" love
At that time, Deborah was in love with a wealthy American businessman.
Under the arrangement of the rich businessman's boyfriend, he lived in a Hong Kong mansion.
But the main industry of the rich businessman's boyfriend is in the United States, and the love across the Pacific Ocean can only be gathered less and more.
And 42-year-old Xie Xian, just put by his ex-wife Zhen Zhen.
Ben was a prodigal son, but he was wearing a green hat, which greatly shocked Xie Xian.
After the divorce, Xie Xian spent all day drinking and squandering, and his family was quickly destroyed, and he quickly fell to the point of selling the house.
Seeing that he was so depressed, "dry sister" Shen Dianxia found Deborah, who was also the host of "Happy Tonight", and begged her to help and rent the mansion to Xie Xian.
Deborah, who was already chivalrous, immediately agreed, after all, the house is big enough and can make money, why not enjoy it?
When Xie Xian, who was hurt by love, saw Deborah, who was 15 years younger than her, his wounded heart showed signs of resurrection.
Soon, he forgot about his ex-wife and began to launch a fierce attack on new targets.
Unable to resist Xie Xian's stalking, Di Bo finally lost the battle and agreed to a date.
It is said that this first date was about 10 days!
However, at this time, Deborah has not yet agreed to be Xie Xian's girlfriend, after all, she also has a rich businessman boyfriend who is far away on the other side of the ocean.
As a veteran of the love scene, Xie Xian is not easy to deal with, he continues to chase with a dead face, and What if Deborah flies to the United States to find a boyfriend? Then one transoceanic telephone bombardment after another.
In the end, Deborah surrendered, broke up with her rich businessman boyfriend, and turned into Xie Xian's arms.
In 1979, 43-year-old Xie Xian and 28-year-old Deborah entered the palace of marriage.
Their "wedding of the century" at that time can be said to have alarmed the whole of Hong Kong, full of preparations for half a year, spending a huge amount of 2 million Hong Kong dollars, fragrant cars BMW, couture wedding dresses, top lineup, celebrities, entertainment journalists... The scale is so large that it has a fight with Huang Xiaoming & Baby.
Soon after, Deborah was officially declared pregnant.
Unexpectedly, when this news came out, it was not a blessing, but a question.
It turned out that there had been rumors of Xie Xian's infertility circulating in the anecdote at that time, and the news of Deborah's suspicions was immediately snatched up after it was published in the magazine.
On August 29, 1980, a large group of journalists and paparazzi had been squatting at the door of the maternity hospital for a long time, in order to wait until that moment to see if Deborah had given birth to a son for the first time.
It turned out that Deborah had said that the first child was definitely a boy, so many people speculated that Nicholas Tse was an IVF baby, otherwise how could even the gender be known?
In this regard, Deborah quickly clarified, and also released a set of "secret recipes for giving birth to children in the court", which was once again published in magazines and sold a fine light.
Two years later, Deborah gave birth to another daughter for Xie Xian, Xie Tingting.
Deborah also began to slowly fade out of the entertainment circle, enjoying the fun of her husband and godson.
However, on the road to Nicholas Tse's growth, there are more outrageous rumors that keep being put into the headlines...
04 The most "evil" rumors
At that time, it was rumored that Tse Ting Feng was not actually xie Xian's son, but the illegitimate son of Deborah and the gambling king Ho Hung Sun.
In fact, Deborah had already met the gambling king when she was a host before, and had once been his special dance partner.
Later, Xie Xian's investment failed, and he owed a huge debt of 16 million.
In desperation, Deborah could only ask the gambling king for help.
However, looking at the similarity between Xie Xian and Xie Tingfeng's father and son, we can also see that this rumor is very evil...
In fact, Xie Xian has always praised Deborah as the "best and most satisfied" woman after marriage.
However, it is difficult to move, spending hearts and gambling on one, resulting in Deborah's extreme dissatisfaction, the two often quarrel, sweet love is also consumed, only family affection is left to maintain.
In 1995, Deborah took a plane and met Jiang Yaocheng, who was 11 years younger than her, and the two fell in love at first sight.
When Xie Xian learned about it, not only was he not angry, but he was happy for her.
After deliberation, the two chose to divorce peacefully.
In 2005, When Deborah and Jiang Yaocheng registered their marriage in Singapore, Xie Xian personally went to send his blessings.
After this, Xie Xian continued to live his dashing life, and also found a girlfriend of 49 years old, who was unhappy.
Although Jiang Yaocheng is just an ordinary pilot, not as famous and status as Xie Xian, Jiang Yaocheng has a special love and deep affection for Deborah, and simply spoils her.
The married life of the two is very sweet, going out shopping to hold hands, feeding each other ice cream... Deborah once said that meeting Jiang Yaocheng was the happiest thing in her life.
But no matter what, her relationship with Xie Xian, Xie Tingfeng, Xie Tingting's family of four will not be affected.
After the divorce, Deborah no longer complains about Xie Xian's faults, and sometimes goes shopping with her husband and pulls Xie Xian along.
The three of them got along quite harmoniously, and over time, Jiang Yaocheng and Xie Xian became good friends.
The couple also invited Xie Xian, Xie Tingfeng father and son to have a New Year dinner together.
Such a picture will not have any sense of violation.
Even once, when Deborah kissed Xie Xian in front of her husband, Jiang Yaocheng was not only not angry, but had a happy expression.
Today, Deborah and Jiang Yaocheng's marriage has gone through 16 years, and they are still in love as ever.
This time, Deborah no longer has to run alone and alone, and her cool script can also be completed.
After all, having met a good love, who still wants to be a big heroine.
The little girl who was once abandoned, even though she was 70 years old, was still spoiled as a carefree child.
