1955, the third child of a poor rural family was born in Lamma Island and named Chow Yun Fat.
His father is a sailor who goes fishing, and his mother grows vegetables and raises chickens at home, and often goes to other people's homes to help.
As time went on, Chow Yun Fat began to help his parents share farm work as soon as he became sensible. Once, my father lost a month's salary because of gambling, and my mother had to go to my father's company to get back a barrel of oil, which made the already poor life worse. Chow Yun Fat, here we go.
Hate gambling. At this time, he never thought that he would become a "gambler" one day.
Almost at the same time, a girl named Chen Yulian was still playing with mud in the jumping elf not far from him.
In distant Singapore, Chen Jiaqin and Chen Huilian are babbling.
Years later, these two women whose names are only one word apart will "enrich" Chow Yun Fat's life experience in their own way.
When he graduated from high school, Chow Yun Fat was eager to make money to subsidize his family because his father was ill and his childlike innocence had not faded.
He sells cameras in a photographic equipment store, works in an electronics factory and works as an assistant in a post office.
One day after work, he was walking in the street and saw a brand-new Rolls Royce parked by the roadside. He reached out and touched it enviously, but the owner cursed "I can't afford it for a lifetime."
He was extremely angry but helpless, perhaps because of this sentence, he began to seriously think about how to go in the future.

/Kloc-When he was 0/8 years old, Chow Yun Fat accidentally saw the advertisement for TVB artist training class in the newspaper.
He longed for a stable job and wanted to change his current living environment, so he went to apply with his friends. Although he was almost eliminated because of his height, he "conquered" the staff with the strength of both hard and soft.
After entering the training class, Ng Man Tat and I became friends and became Chen Yulian's disciples. At this point, the two just met soon.
Chow Yun Fat officially started his two-year study career.
After graduation, like other actors, he made steady progress from a small role to a supporting role to a leading role.
The first thing he did after he got his salary was to buy eight Rolls Royce in one sitting. Although he was too busy with his work and had little chance to start a business, he slapped his master with reality.
1976, Chow Yun Fat starred in the TV series "frenzy", and his acting career finally reached its first climax.
The play also made him gain a lot. He fell in love with Cora Miao, the co-star, and got together.
This year, Yu Anan played the role of "Princess Xiangxiang" in Book and Sword, and became famous with her excellent acting skills and beautiful appearance.
This is the most beautiful woman in Jin Yong's works. It is said that the gentle and introverted name "Yu Anan" was specially named for her by Jin Yong's good friend David Henry Hwang.
With the development of Yu Anan's career, her love affair with Dong Shengyi was exposed. At that time, Chow Yun Fat didn't know Yu Anan yet, but he made his own play seriously.
Later, he appeared in many works such as Man in the Net, Family, Fire Phoenix and Crocodile Pond. After many cooperations with Zheng Yuling, they became one of the classic movie lovers in Hongkong.
Off-stage, his relationship with Cora Miao was "unable to communicate" and he broke up with Cora Miao.
I didn't expect to be dumped for the first time, but Chow Yun Fat didn't lose heart and devoted herself to her career.
Soon after, Chow Yun Fat and Chen Yulian met on the set of Tycoon. A love at first sight, a love at first sight.
Chen Yulian plays Chow Yun Fat's secretary in the play, and Chow Yun Fat is also moved by her beauty, so they extend their feelings outside the play.
On Chen Yulian 18' s birthday, Chow Yun Fat gave her a big bouquet of roses with a card inside: Happy birthday, Lianmei.
This is the first time that Chen Yulian has received flowers from the opposite sex, which also makes her feel excited.
At that time, Irene Wan, who lived nearby, often saw Chow Yun Fat send Chen Yulian home. She sighed enviously: "A tall and handsome my fair lady, just look at her back and you will know it is golden couple."
03
Two people in love are still serious about their careers.
Chen Yulian plays Xiao Zhao in The Dragon Slayer starring Adam Cheng and Wang Mingquan. Although she is a supporting role, she has no job. This laid the groundwork for her later becoming an "aunt".
1980, once "Shanghai Beach" was broadcast, it set a very high audience rating. Xu Wenqiang, played by Chow Yun Fat, was ambivalent, melancholy and cold, which instantly attracted countless fans and became the idol of many audiences.
Three years later, Chen Yulian starred in Jin Yong's martial arts drama "Eight Dragons" and played the heroine's fairy sister Wang Yuyan. Soon after, Jin Yong once again offered her an olive branch and invited her to play the isolated little dragon girl in The Condor Heroes.
Yang Guo, played by Andy Lau, falls in love with her. Off-stage, Andy Lau was "fascinated" by her, and even directly declared "I like you very much. Can you consider dating me? " Embarrassed by the "aunt" refused.
This year, by coincidence, Shen Dianxia, the fat sister, gave Chen Yulian a "surprise" in advance and introduced Chen Chaowu, a Chinese-American businessman in charge of entertainment affairs in Atlantic City Casino.
After the love affair between Chow Yun Fat and Chen Yulian was exposed, this woman's acting career suffered a serious blow and was concealed by the company.
Chen Yulian said, "Mr. Zhou is my first lover, and I want to be with him."
In order to stick to her love, she temporarily put down her job and was willing to be Chow Yun Fat's wife.
Chow Yun Fat loves Chen Yulian more.
04
However, the good times did not last long. In the fifth year of their love, Chen Yulian broke up.
What followed was the suicide that caused a sensation in Hong Kong.
Late at night, a 24-year-old man surnamed Zhou drank half a bottle of detergent and disinfectant at his girlfriend's sister's house in an attempt to commit suicide. Then he was sent to the hospital for gastric lavage. After rescue, the situation is good at present, but it still needs to be hospitalized for observation.
He was admitted to the hospital with his girlfriend Chen Yulian.
As for the two people breaking up, there are three kinds of sayings.
First, after all, Chen Yulian cannot wait for Chow Yun Fat's clear commitment. She said, "Actually, he didn't say he wanted to marry me. Maybe it's my wishful thinking. "
A woman's youth is not as long as she thought, and she doesn't want to lose more, so stop loss in time.
Second, Chow Yun Fat's mother doesn't like Chen Yulian and "playing mandarin ducks".
For this statement, Chen Yulian denied that she had not seen Chow Yun Fat's family many times during their relationship.
Third, Chen Yulian was pursued by Chen Chaowu, the "big brother" of Hong Kong at that time, threatening her to break up with Chow Yun Fat.
Years later, when talking about emotional problems, she said, "If it is life-threatening, then I will choose to leave that person." I don't know whether I'm talking about Chow Yun Fat's suicide or the rumor of being threatened.
After Chow Yun Fat recovered, Chen Yulian left and disappeared into Chow Yun Fat's world.
05
Two months later, an explosive news suddenly came out.
Chow Yun Fat is going to marry Yu Anan!
The news came too suddenly and violently, and there was no preheating.
Although the wedding was in a hurry, the TV station made a live broadcast. The wedding is luxurious and extravagant. Yu Anan snuggled up to Chow Yun Fat, who looks perfect and envied by everyone, and invited Lv Liangwei, Zheng Zeshi and Andy Lau as the best man.
At the wedding scene, Chow Yun Fat kissed the bride on the cheek and made a vow: "I, Chow Yun Fat, will marry Miss Yu Anan voluntarily and love her for the rest of my life."
After marriage, the contradiction between the two gradually surfaced.
Yu Anan went abroad to visit his classmates, but Chow Yun Fat left her alone in the hotel. Afterwards, I was angry with her for no reason and called her a "tyrant". Yu Anan was depressed.
The two began to quarrel over some trivial matters. Instead of coaxing their wives, they said, "Why don't you go back to your parents' house? "It broke Yu Anan's heart.
In July this year, the news that Chen Yulian and Chen Chaowu got married reached the ears of Chow Yun Fat. He is silent on the surface, but he is growling inside.
A month later, Yu Anan's angry words "Why don't we divorce" were taken seriously by Chow Yun Fat, and a marriage of only nine months ended.
Their marriage began with a comedy and ended with a farce. A lover who has just lost her lover, an impulsive woman who wants to stimulate her predecessor, both of them are angry and finally lose themselves.
06
After the divorce, Chow Yun Fat's prosperous career plummeted to the point where there was no drama to shoot. The affair with actresses such as Zheng Yuling and Cherie Chung was exposed, and scandals were flying all over the sky.
It took him a long time to recover.
This year, Chow Yun Fat played the role of Ye Jianfei in Waiting for Dawn by academic director Po-Chih Leong, and won the Asia-Pacific Film Festival and the Golden Horse Award, but his acting career is still in a downturn.
Finally, one day, he accidentally learned that John Woo was going to remake The True Color of Heroes, and he felt that the opportunity had come.
He found John Woo and said that John Woo just didn't want to give him a chance for fear that his negative news would affect his work.
In the end, there was nothing to do. Chow Yun Fat simply cut his salary and didn't want a penny, just to get John Woo's nod.
After the film was released, "Mark" became an instant hit, and he also won his first Academy Award for Best Actor, which was the first 12 year of his debut.
That day, he didn't wear a suit like the previous three sessions. This time he wore a brown jacket, which was so ordinary that he couldn't find it when he walked into the crowd.
He has been waiting for this trophy for years.
07
This year, Chow Yun Fat's acting career and personal life will usher in a major turning point.
After delivering his acceptance speech, he announced another important news.
His fiancee is Chen Huilian, a rich girl from Singapore.
It was at Shangri-La Hotel in Singapore, and they met in a hurry under the introduction of friends from both sides.
The girl made a good first impression on Chow Yun Fat. Although she is a rich girl, she wears simple clothes, short sleeves, shorts and slippers, and she is also easy to get along with.
The next day, because of work, Chow Yun Fat was going to return to Hongkong, but suddenly a typhoon came and the plane stopped.
He called Chen Huilian and asked her to have dinner with him. She readily kept the appointment, but she didn't immediately agree to Chow Yun Fat's association. She has heard rumors about Chow Yun Fat, so she is very cautious.
After returning to Hong Kong, Chow Yun Fat insisted on sending a postcard to Chen Huilian and making two or three phone calls every day to express his thoughts.
After chasing Chen Huilian for two years in a row, Chen Huilian also saw this man's sincerity and became his second "girl lover".
08
Chow Yun Fat's mother is also very satisfied with Chen Huilian, saying that Chen Huilian is polite and educated, and she is the favorite of her son's girlfriends.
But after emotional frustration, Chow Yun Fat cast a shadow over the marriage.
1986, Chow Yun Fat was filming Autumn Fairy Tales all night. After work, he dragged his tired body and suddenly said to Chen Huilian, "Why don't we get married?" No ring, no flowers.
He needs a harbor to rely on, a strong backing, and this person is right in front of him.
Time soon came1June 5, 987. They tied the knot, and lovers got married.
This year, Yu Anan chose to marry Li Wanqi, who works in an advertising company. After marriage, she chose photography.
After marrying Chow Yun Fat, Chen Huilian, who studied business administration, became her husband's wife. She managed her housework, life and career in an orderly way. It is no exaggeration to say that Chow Yun Fat can become an international superstar without Chen Huilian's behind-the-scenes efforts.
On the other hand, Chow Yun Fat began to March into Hollywood, where he made a breakthrough and became the most handsome gunman among the actors.
09
After many years, he returned to China again, still the "big brother" and his idol status remained unchanged.
Time flies. Now Chow Yun Fat is 66 years old. He has gradually faded out of the screen and left more time for his wife.
Couples travel frugally, only by bus or subway. There are even rumors that he sometimes spends only 800 yuan a month, his shoes are bought at a roadside stall 15 yuan, and his clothes never see famous brands.
He is indifferent to fame and fortune and spends all his money on public welfare undertakings. He said, "The money is not mine. I just keep it for the time being."
He was born in the plain, and then returned to the plain, and the years were quiet.
Even if the legend is gone, he is an immortal star in the history of Hong Kong movies.
