A person can become famous for a while, and only then can he become famous for his whole life can he be called an idol. Such a long-lasting and prosperous entertainment industry is extremely difficult. Among the many male stars in China, Andy Lau is probably the first representative figure.
This man struggled all the way from poor families, sang and filmed steadily in the entertainment industry, and eventually became a well-known superstar in Asia and even the world. His influence has been popular for decades, but he is still an idol of the whole nation in his sixties, which is rare.
But in front of such a "public lover", who can become his true love for life? This is probably a question that many people are curious about. Everyone has heard of Andy Lau's fame, but everyone knows little about his wife who has only a special liking for the rest of her life.
Andy Lau's is so praised, it is naturally related to his excellent character, and it is also unrelated to his wife who has always stood behind him.
Zhu Liqian , this is a woman with little popularity. The only thing people know about her is probably the title of Mrs. Andy Lau. But in fact, she was not only born in a wealthy family in Malaysia , but also had an amazing appearance and graceful figure when she was young. She also won the title of Miss Malaysia Beauty Pageant when she was 18 years old.
But afterwards, she and Andy Lau fell in love. In order to take care of her lover's career, she was willing to hide her identity. She supported Andy Lau for twenty-two years without getting married and not getting a title. What reward did this touching effort eventually get?
On April 6, 1966, Zhu Liqian was born in Penang, Malaysia. In their early years, their family came to Nanyang to do business from the coast of China. Later, they entered the real estate business and established a huge business group, ranking among the top three in Malaysia, with a wealth of 10 billion yuan. They can be said to be a strong local family.
Zhu Liqian has five brothers and sisters in addition to herself. She ranks third. As a daughter, Zhu Liqian does not have the huge pressure to inherit the family business. She has lived under extremely superior material conditions since childhood and is a veritable daughter.
Her first half of her life was completely based on the standards of a wealthy woman, cultivating her temperament, cultural level, studying abroad, but she is relatively relaxed. After all, she won at the starting line when she was born, and other peers could not compare.
When Zhu Liqian was in her teenage years, she wanted to go out and have been living in the boudoir for a long time. At that time, the trend of "Beauty Pageant" was prevalent around the world, and Malaysia was no exception. Zhu Liqian pulled a sister and decisively signed up for the "Trendy Beauty Pageant."
That was her youngest time. Originally from a wealthy family, she cultivated her extraordinary temperament. In addition, she was born with a natural beauty, and her appearance was no less than that of the female stars in the entertainment industry. As well as her gentle personality and her dancing skills practiced since childhood, Zhu Liqian won the titles of "Miss New Trendy" and "Miss New Trendy Magazine Cover" in one fell swoop.
As a completely newbie, her results are already quite amazing. However, a few years later, when Zhu Liqian was eighteen years old, she participated in the competition again and won the championship in one fell swoop.
Since then, Zhu Liqian has wandered in the fashion circle and has appeared in cover magazines many times, becoming a well-known beauty in Malaysia.
At that time, Andy Lau in Hong Kong had long become a film and television artist and singer. The protagonist Yang Guo played in the martial arts drama "The Legend of Condor Heroes" has received countless praises.
But in 1985, after Andy Lau's new drama " Yang Family General " was completed, Hong Kong TVB directly proposed to renew his contract with this powerful actor for five years, but his salary conditions were very unfair. The angry Andy Lau decisively refused, and as a result, he was directly hiding for more than a year.
This is Andy Lau's situation at that time. Although he finally made a name for himself with his strength, he had no background and was unwilling to give in, so his career still had a fluctuation.
During the time he was hiding, Andy Lau's acting career was cut off and he could hardly shoot any movies. In order to support his life, he could only participate in some small activities everywhere, but he could not expect that because of this series of chances, he met the woman who later accompanied him.
In early 1986, Andy Lau was invited by the Hong Kong star football team to go to the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur to stand up for a friendly match. For the former big star Andy Lau, this was an ordinary event.
In the era at that time, Dicso dance was very popular in Asia, and those who followed the trend used it as a social way. Zhu Liqian has been practicing dancing since she was a child. As a beauty pageant, she also came into contact with this trendy dance very early and danced very well.
She was just elected as the cover lady of the Malaysian fashion magazine "New Trendy" with 5,369 votes the year before, so she was also invited to the cocktail party after the friendly match.
Zhu Liqian originally liked the young and handsome Andy Lau on the screen, but she didn't expect that her graceful figure and temperament on the dance floor also made Andy Lau moved at first sight. After dancing together, the two saw each other's contact information and left each other's contact information.
The first meeting between Zhu Liqian and Andy Lau was not so turbulent, and after that, he also experienced a long separation between the two places.
After reconciling with TVB under the regulation of Run Run Shaw , Andy Lau signed a fair contract and entered a period of rapid development of his acting career again. He starred in a series of films such as "The True Emperor", " Tianlang Jie ", and "Best Lucky Star", and continued to move towards the path of superstars.
Zhu Liqian is essentially different from Andy Lau. The latter is trying hard to get something that she wants. Zhu Liqian was born. In the past, she participated in various beauty pageants, which was just a time to spend time. Now that she saw the man she likes is busy with her career, she decided to focus on supporting Andy Lau.
After the two parted, Zhu Liqian was still working as a graphic model . She miss Andy Lau very much but it is difficult to meet. The two could only use the phone to relieve loneliness through the phone from a long distance. This kind of life is particularly difficult.
More than a year later, Zhu Liqian went to Hong Kong to manage and manage some of the family's restaurant business in Hong Kong, and also learn beauty. However, she suddenly left her hometown where she grew up and went to Hong Kong alone.
Learn something I have never learned before. I have already achieved success in Malaysia and are very famous. I believe anyone can see the reason for Zhu Liqian's decision.
Zhu Liqian is not like many ordinary women who want to marry celebrities and make them on the list of wealthy families. She is a child of a wealthy family. Although the restaurant business is just an excuse, her parents did buy a batch of restaurant industries in Hong Kong in order to give her a place to manage it.
As Andy Lau's status at that time, he was actually considered a marriage into the "wealthy family" of Zhu Liqian, but the latter was willing to lay his name for him because of his strong love.
The celebrity scandals were not enough. Soon after, paparazzi photographed Andy Lau and Zhu Liqian walking hand in hand on the street, and more than once, contacting the cause and effect, and this matter was quickly hyped on the headlines of the newspaper.
But Andy Lau is in the golden period of his career at this time. The sudden exposure of his relationship will have very bad consequences for him. We don’t know how he and Zhu Liqian discuss behind his back, but the final result is that Andy Lau quickly came out to clarify that Zhu Liqian and herself are not a couple.
No woman may find it difficult to accept that her lover makes such remarks in front of the public, but Zhu Liqian did not express anything. She showed great tolerance and understanding and chose to fully support her lover's career and dreams.
But it is easy to say but difficult to do. A male star who is at its peak can hardly get rid of the love scandal. Before he has been slow to disclose his true girlfriend to the public, Zhu Liqian must be in an embarrassing situation of underground love for a long time, especially when she can find a rich son of a good match, this tolerance shows that the love is sincere.
Sure enough, in the following time, Andy Lau was helplessly involved in many scandals, and some women even hyped up their names, but in the face of such embarrassment, Zhu Liqian never expressed anything.
Later, Andy Lau and Zhu Liqian were photographed repeatedly and various scenes of their peers, so their relationship could no longer be compromised. For example, in 1989, Zhu Liqian was found living in the West Lake Apartment in Saima under Andy Lau's name. However, although the outside world knew it, the couple remained silent and had not announced anything.
After that, even the media couldn't stand it anymore and began to criticize Andy Lau, questioning why he has not announced Zhu Liqian's true identity until now and whether he wants to find a new love.
Under such pressure, and he himself wanted to disclose his lover, he applied to the company many times, but was rejected one by one.
In 2005, his girlfriend, who had a relationship with Andy Lau, Yu Kexin , even without his permission, directly published a book called "Love Sea Starry Sky: Me and Andy Lau". This book was sold out as soon as it was released. Yu Kexin described in detail the story of their love and affection together.
Zhu Liqian's mood when she saw this book is imaginable, but she still did not express her opinion in the end.
With the unremitting support of his wife, Andy Lau's career is indeed developing rapidly. After 2000, it was his golden peak period. From a big star to a superstar, he completed a difficult breakthrough from a big star. The classic blockbusters starring "Infernal Affairs", " No Thieves in the World ", " Ten-side Ambush " and other classic blockbusters were also released one by one, completely establishing his unshakable position in the Chinese film industry.
At this time, Andy Lau no longer cared about the pressure from the outside world. He knew how deep his wife had for him, but along the way, he never forgot to compensate her for a title and a wedding.
So in 2008, Andy Lau took Zhu Liqian to attend a Buddhist charity event publicly. According to regulations, only relatives can attend together, so its meaning is very clear.
By June of the same year, the two officially ascended the throne in Las Vegas, USA and became husband and wife. Just one year later, Andy Lau's father died suddenly, and he appeared with Zhu Liqian again at the funeral.
From meeting in 1986 to getting married in 2008, many people have to speak out for Zhu Liqian in this twenty-two-year underground relationship, but in fact, her life is not unhappy.
Andy Lau knew what he was in debt, so his attitude towards his wife was extremely good. When he was at the busiest time of work, he only had one month off a year, and his arrangement was: half of them would accompany his parents, while the other half would accompany Zhu Liqian.
Usually when Zhu Liqian goes out, her husband will arrange multiple bodyguards to accompany her. Once, when she encounters a paparazzi, a bodyguard suddenly covers Zhu Liqian with the car, but her foot is accidentally caught by the car door. This was originally an unintentional mistake, but Andy Lau, who has always been gentle and tolerant, was furious and immediately fired the bodyguard.
For more than 20 years, Zhu Liqian's indifference ushered in a happy life for her. Before the relationship was exposed, she was well taken care of by her husband. After the relationship was exposed, Andy Lau even praised his wife in public and expressed his grievances to her several times.
By 2012, Zhu Liqian even gave birth to Andy Lau’s lovely daughter Liu Xianghui in the Hong Kong Health Hospital. Then Andy Lau immediately invited his wife and daughter to the stage at a concert of the same year and gave a grand introduction.
The relationship between Andy Lau and Zhu Liqian can be said to interpret the highest level of love - passion is just a dew, and plain support can only work together for a lifetime, especially in Zhu Liqian's eyes, there is no grievance or tolerance, nor is there any superstar, actor Andy Lau, only a husband he loves deeply.
