In terms of debut time, Yam Tat-wah actually debuted two years earlier than Andy Lau, and his performance was not bad in terms of works and achievements.
Over the past decades, Yam Tat-wah has appeared in more than 200 TV dramas and won the Golden Bauhinia Award for Best Actor and the Hong Kong Film Awards for Actor twice. He is a well-deserved film emperor!
However, many people see the "tough guy" side of his play. In fact, as an indomitable man, Yam Tat-wah also has a gentle side at home.
He and his wife Sophia Kao have been married for more than 20 years. He loves his wife deeply and is willing to have no children for each other for seven years.
Until the age of 50, he finally welcomed his daughter who was over half a year old. As an old woman, he burst into tears at the moment he saw her.
Now I love my wife and daughter, and I also love my hometown of Yam Tat-wah. I became a crazy woman, a good family man!
One,
Yam Tat-wah, 1955, born in Hongkong. His hometown is Jining, Shandong. His father grew up in Jining and later went to Hong Kong for development, so Yam Tat-wah was born and raised in Hong Kong.
Yam Tat-wah comes from a noble family. His father and brother are both policemen. When he was young, his family lived on his father's meager salary.
Fortunately, my father's unit allocated a house to their family, which gave them a stable residence. They lived in poverty when they were young, but Yam Tat-wah lived happily.
At that time, there was an old black-and-white TV set at home, which carried countless hours of Yam Tat-wah's childhood.
Because of the father's professional factors, his father is very strict with his children, and he has been very strict with his children since childhood. Every time his father asks them to do something, they must do their best as soon as possible.
Once he was so playful that he didn't go home at dinner time. The family waited for him 10 minutes before seeing him come back with a can of worms in his hand.
As a result, my father severely punished me for this 10 minute.
Yam Tat-wah recalled this incident on the program and said, "He was late 10 minutes, and he hit me with a stick."
"I was late 10 minutes and hit me 10 minutes."
Although he was disciplined by his father at that time, sensible Yam Tat-wah never got tired of his father. He knew that his father did it for his own good.
Unfortunately, this life was broken when he was 1 1 years old. His father died in the line of duty on a mission, and his mother could only support three children on a pension.
Because their father is gone, they have to move out of the house allocated to their father by the unit, and the expenses of food, clothing, housing and transportation for the whole family are on their mother's shoulders.
At that time, in order to raise three children, Yam Tat-wah's mother took them to live in the slums of Hong Kong, that is, the "Kowloon City Village" in Stephen Chow's movie Kung Fu was mixed with fish and dragons, and people lived in the lowest place.
His mother is a traditional housewife. When his father was alive, he relied on his father to support his family. After his father died, his mother could only make money by making handicrafts such as plastic flowers and beads, so their family survived.
Perhaps influenced by his father, Yam Tat-wah's brother Ren Rong Da later became a policeman, but Yam Tat-wah was different. He entered the entertainment circle.
Second,
When she was in the first grade of middle school, one day Yam Tat-wah saw an advertisement of a modeling company in the newspaper. In order to lighten his mother's burden, he decided to have a try.
At that time, his height had grown to 1.8 meters, and he always had the habit of exercising, and his figure looked very symmetrical. In addition, when he was young, he was very handsome and passed the interview of the model company.
At that time, while advertising at school, he not only solved the tuition by himself, but also helped to bear his brother's tuition, which relieved his mother a lot of pressure.
After graduating from high school, his brother applied for the police academy, but he was different. It developed rapidly in the modeling field and entered the entertainment circle after graduation.
When I first entered the entertainment circle, I had no resources and contacts, so I had to start from scratch and climb up from a small model step by step.
After slowly becoming famous in the modeling field, he saw the Hong Kong wireless artist training class and signed up for the training class. At that time, Chow Yun Fat, Lin Lingdong, Ng Man Tat and other later famous people also studied in the training class with him.
After coming out of the training class, he was particularly interested in the performing arts and began to work in the entertainment circle. Until 1979, he finally signed a contract with Qicai Film Company and became a professional actor.
Not long after signing a contract with the performing arts company, with the help of the company, he has appeared in works such as Pipa Travel and Informant. Although they are all supporting roles, they are gradually becoming famous.
Later, he was appreciated by director Chen of Taiwan Province Province and starred in Guihua Lane. With this work, he became popular in Taiwan Province, and then he filmed the burning snow directed by Tan Jiaming.
When he returned to Hong Kong for development again, Yam Tat-wah, who gained a foothold in the entertainment circle with his works, has become the object of cooperation among major directors.
Since 1987, he has made five films almost every year, and the quality of each film is guaranteed, which has been recognized and supported by the audience.
Career development is getting better and better, and Yam Tat-wah has also ushered in good news in terms of feelings.
Third,
199 1, 36-year-old Yam Tat-wah has been focusing on her work and ignoring her feelings, so although she has developed well, there are few rumors about her feelings.
Thinking that my boss is not young, it's time to find a partner, so I began to think about lifelong events after work.
One day, when Yam Tat-wah was leafing through entertainment magazines, she saw the beautiful image of a young model. Although it was only a silhouette, he was still amazed by this girl.
This girl is Sophia Kao. Yam Tat-wah was deeply attracted by Sophia Kao's confidence and charm. He has never felt the same way about girls.
From this moment on, Yam Tat-wah's heart decided: "She is the woman I am looking for!"
Sophia Kao also likes this sunny and handsome man, who is especially gentlemanly. It's just that she was born in a rich family, and almost everything was decided by her parents since she was a child. She doesn't know whether her parents agree with her and Yam Tat-wah.
After getting to know Yam Tat-wah, she decided to take Yam Tat-wah to meet her parents. Although Yam Tat-wah was born in a poor family, he was modest in front of Sophia Kao's parents. He also said, "I have come from suffering since I was a child and cherish everything now. I will be good to Sophia Kao. "
Sophia Kao's parents saw Yam Tat-wah's understanding and understanding, and he really developed well in the entertainment circle, so they acquiesced in their relationship.
After being with Sophia Kao, Yam Tat-wah spoiled her very much. Knowing that most women like shopping, he specially opened a card for Sophia Kao to buy at will.
To his surprise, although Sophia Kao spent a lot of money, he even bought 25 pairs of beautiful shoes in one breath, but Sophia Kao did not spend Yam Tat-wah's money, but earned it himself.
Sophia Kao thinks she has the ability to make money, so there is no need to spend her boyfriend's money. She spends the money she earns and lives happier.
Sophia Kao's understanding and consideration for him everywhere strengthened Yam Tat-wah's belief that this woman is the one he wants to love all his life.
Fourth,
1997165438+10, Yam Tat-wah and Sophia Kao, who deeply loved Sophia Kao, officially registered their marriage in Hong Kong, and they became an enviable fairy couple in the circle.
Just to Yam Tat-wah's annoyance, he was 42 years old when he got married, and he was in middle age, so it was normal to get married and have children.
He got married, but after marriage, Sophia Kao, as a model, didn't want children because she was afraid that having children would affect her figure.
Yam Tat-wah has always wanted to have a child, especially as he grows older, and this idea becomes more and more obvious.
But Sophia Kao made it clear that he didn't want children, and he loved Sophia Kao deeply, so he had to agree to Sophia Kao's request and become a "double income no kids".
He still loves Sophia Kao deeply and dotes on Sophia Kao as before, but in his heart, having no children has always been his regret.
After their marriage, Yam Tat-wah and Sophia Kao enjoyed a happy world life and worked hard to develop their own performing arts career.
He won the Golden Bauhinia Award for Best Actor in Hong Kong Film twice for his two works "PTU" and "Gangdom".
He has been shortlisted for the Hong Kong Academy Awards for many times. In 20 10, he won the best actor award for the first time with his work "The Thief of the Years" and became a recognized film emperor!
With the development of performing arts, he proved himself with strength and won the support and love of the public with years of development and efforts.
Five,
Because Yam Tat-wah often goes out to film after marriage, she is the only one in the family. At first, Sophia Kao could go shopping with her sisters, but as this life passed for a long time, whenever she was alone at home, she also felt that this home was too deserted.
In order to make the home warmer, she had been reluctant to have children before, and took the initiative to find Yam Tat-wah and said, "Why don't we have a child?"
Yam Tat-wah, who always wanted to have children, thought she heard wrong. When he confirmed that his wife was serious, he was happy for a long time.
In 2004, the couple who were actively pregnant finally got the news of Sophia Kao's successful pregnancy.
In 65438+February of the same year, Sophia Kao gave birth to his dream child for Yam Tat-wah. They gave birth to a little princess named Ren.
Yam Tat-wah was 50 years old when the couple welcomed their daughter. Yam Tat-wah, a new father, burst into tears when he first met his daughter.
The arrival of their daughter made their originally loving husband and wife relationship closer. In order to make her live a better life in the future, after her daughter was born, Yam Tat-wah worked hard to develop in the entertainment circle.
He used all the money he earned to buy real estate, and successively bought 26 properties in Shanghai, Hangzhou, Jinan in China and Japan, Canada, Italy and other places abroad to make investments for his daughter in advance.
As a mother, Sophia Kao's mentality gradually changed after giving birth to a child. For the sake of her daughter, she gave up her beloved modeling career and became a designer, putting more time and energy into her children and family.
With the love of husband and wife, their daughter Ren has been living a rich and carefree life.
Six,
Now Yam Tat-wah's daughter Ren Ting Anne is 17 years old. Like Sophia Kao, a model-born mother, she has nothing to say about her looks and figure.
In particular, her figure is not only symmetrical, but also the height of Ren, who is only 17 years old, reaches nearly 1.8 meters.
Ren, almost as tall as his father Yam Tat-wah, has a beautiful face and a good figure. Such a good gene is really enviable.
Yam Tat-wah, incarnated as a "crazy girl", loves her hometown Shandong more than her wife and daughter.
Although he didn't grow up in Shandong, he knew that his "roots" were in Shandong. After becoming famous, he expressed his deep hometown feelings for his hometown Shandong in public more than once.
For example, he said in an interview: "My hometown is in Shandong, where there are Mount Tai and the Yellow River."
"I am as generous as all Shandong people and like to make friends, so I am bold and unconstrained in the play."
"I hope I can show the character of Shandong people in the play."
Many people who don't know Yam Tat-wah have always thought that he is a native of Hong Kong. It was not until he publicly declared that he was from Shandong that he finally realized that he was actually a "native of Shandong".
What is even more rare is that he grew up in Hong Kong and has such a strong local complex for his hometown Shandong, which is really admirable!
However, this is also in line with Yam Tat-wah's personality, which is recognized by all artists in the entertainment circle, and is also the reason why he is respected by artists in the circle.
Seven,
Now 66-year-old Yam Tat-wah is still struggling in the entertainment industry. He is still trying to bring us new works in recent years.
For example, in recent years, his films and TV plays, such as Operation Red Sea, Action to Break the Ice, Man in Macau, Goldfinger, Return to Earth, and manslaughter 2, have won the support and love of the public.
He has never stopped on the road of performing arts. He has been on the road of performing arts, bringing us one masterpiece after another.
But for Yam Tat-wah, he is more proud of the warmth and happiness of his family than his career development.
In particular, seeing his daughter grow up healthily made him feel gratified.
Now that he meets a good work, he will continue to work hard and present a wonderful performance for everyone. Besides, he spends more time with his wife and daughter.
Unlike when he was young, he focused on his own career. Now he focuses on family and life, becoming a family husband in the eyes of his wife and a family father in the eyes of his daughter.
