Hong Kong has many "Xia Yu Fang Hong" who perform unparalleled elegance, and there are also "Xian Zhen Min Xin" who outline the picturesque scenery.
But in the 1990s when white clothes were fluttering, Zhou Huimin was like the spring breeze blowing on her face and became the dream lover in the hearts of many students.
The ten years when she was popular covered the golden years of countless young people, hiding a youthful dream.

In the winter of 1967, Vivian Chow was born in a wooden house in a slum in Kowloon.
A few months ago, her father died of a heart attack while leaning over to pick up a mahjong tile that fell on the ground.
As a posthumous woman, Zhou Huimin is far more independent than her peers.
In order to support the family, in 1985, Zhou Huimin, who had just grown up, participated in the TVB Rookie Singing Competition. At that time, Li Xiaotian and Leslie Cheung were sitting among the judges on the stage.
At that time, Zhou Huimin had not yet shed her baby fat and had more than a thousand degrees of myopia.
She wore thick glasses, but Li Xiaotian had a sharp eye and asked her with a smile: If you can advance, would you be willing to take off those glasses?
Zhou Huimin nodded, and when she appeared again, she put on a white princess dress, sang softly, and was extremely beautiful.
That year, Hacken Lee , who was later known as "Alan Tam's successor", also participated in the competition.
The two met and became friends. Unfortunately, they both stopped reaching the top 30, but their friendship has lasted for more than 30 years.
After that, Zhou Huimin learned that the "Hong Kong 18 District Amateur Singing Contest" was about to be held, so she asked Hacken Lee to sign up together.
The date was approaching, but she was unable to participate due to something else.

And in that session, it was Hacken Lee who was temporarily pulled into the battle and won the championship and officially entered the music scene.
It is worth mentioning that the last champion was Jacky Cheung .
Zhou Huimin, who missed the singer competition, participated in the " Radio Hong Kong Amateur DJ Competition" in the second year and won the runner-up with outstanding results, defeating more than 3,000 contestants.
After that, Zhou Huimin successfully signed a contract with Radio Hong Kong and partnered with "Music Poet" Huang Kaiqin to host the program.

However, Zhou Huimin’s beautiful image has already destined that she will not be limited to radio work.
As if logically, in 1988, Vivian Chow was invited to make her film debut "A World of Three" and began to make a name for herself in the film industry.
With her graceful singing voice and talent in writing lyrics and music, Vivian Chow has also found a place in the music field.
Even before it became popular, some people predicted that among the younger generation, Bizhou would be the best in development. Among them, the male Zhou is Stephen Chow, and the female Zhou is Vivian Chow.

In just a few years, in Hong Kong, she has become a rare artist who lives in "film, television, singing and broadcasting".

When the time entered the 1990s, Zhou Huimin ushered in a prosperous era in her life.
Those who love Hong Kong music may know the brand " PolyGram ", which was once known as the promoter of Hong Kong superstars and the cradle of pop music.

At that time, she was known as the "Polygram Seven Little Flowers" together with Priscilla Chan and Wang Xinping, several popular singers.
It was also the same year that Vivian Chow collaborated with Leslie Cheung in the police film "The Legend of Blue River". The once unattainable person turned out to be a partner in the film. Although she was happy, she was also worried.
But after getting to know each other, the two got along like brothers and sisters. After filming the scene, they went to KTV to sing.
Once, when we were talking about Vivian Chow’s singing career, Leslie Cheung took the initiative to mention that he would write a song for her.
Zhou Huimin did not take it seriously, thinking it was just a courtesy. After all, Leslie Cheung was very popular at that time.

But a week later, she actually received a call from Leslie Cheung: Sister, listen to the song.
Decades later, the man passed away. Zhou Huimin recalled the past, and the past events were still vivid in her mind:
"He put the phone into the cassette player and played the recorded demo " If You Know My Difficulties ". It was him humming it himself. "
Leslie Cheung composed the music and Lin Xi wrote the lyrics. With this song, Zhou Huimin took a big step forward.

What pushed Vivian Chow to a high position again was the fashion business war drama "The Big Era" in which she co-starred with Cheng Shaoqiu, Liu Qingyun and others.
This drama describes the ups and downs of the Hong Kong stock market and has a luxurious cast. It is called "the first Chinese drama".
Zhou Huimin won the title of "Most Popular Female Artist" at the TV Awards that year for her role as the "Saver Girl".
She is known as the "Five Beauties of the Great Era" together with Guo Aiming, Lan Jieying, Li Lizhen, Yang Ling in the play.

However, the image of the "saver girl" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and her experience is similar to Zhou Huimin's, which once led to speculation that the script may be based on her.
At the end of 1992, Vivian Chow successfully entered the Taiwan market with another song "Rumors".
She and Michelle Yeh , Lin Yilian, and Priscilla Chan are known as the four female queens and are well-known in the music industry.

A previous netizen survey asked who is the artist you most hope to make a comeback. Vivian Chow ranked high in the vote.

Looking at Zhou Huimin's acting career, her career has been smooth sailing.
The road of love is bumpy. Falling in love with Ni Zhen ruined his life.
As Zhang Ailing said, love is a lifetime of suffering, not loving is a lifetime of regrets.
Ni Zhen's appearance is quite public, with the identity of "Ni Kuang's son, Huang Zhan's disciple, and Yi Shu's nephew".
In terms of good looks, he has a handsome appearance. He was discovered by talent scouts and entered the film and television industry. He is not inferior to Andy Lau in a photo with ;

However, when Zhou Huimin was interviewed, Ni Zhen in her mouth was a standard boyfriend who "fits into a home, and is both a teacher and a friend".
When Zhou Huimin first moved to Canada, she missed the coffee rolls she had eaten in Hong Kong for 21 years.
One day, Ni Zhen took Zhou Huimin home and opened the door. The table was already filled with coffee rolls. It turned out that in order to satisfy his girlfriend's craving, Ni Zhen visited nearby cake shops and asked Zhou Huimin to try them first. The flavors he didn't like were all made by him. He digests.
So Zhou Huimin had the confidence to say: In fact, I am the one being taken care of.
In addition, Zhou Huimin also likes to eat a small bottle of cheese.
But they are only available in American supermarkets. Every once in a while, Ni Zhen will spend a few hours driving to the Canadian border, and then go through customs to buy in the United States.
Ni Zhen’s patience with details goes beyond that.
