Andy Lau can be said to be the king of many hidden marriage stars in the entertainment industry, which has to be admitted.
It wasn't until 2009 that Zhu Liqian and Andy Lau appeared at the airport with their fingers clasped, ending their life of being hidden by him for more than 20 years and gaining their own status.
The woman behind the "Heavenly King", who has been willingly for more than 20 years, is like a transparent existence, silently living by her husband's side.
For more than 20 years, Andy Lau has never given Zhu Liqian a name, and Zhu Liqian has not been noisy, preferring to choose "invisible" to swallow her anger.
Zhu Liqian was born extraordinary, as a real daughter of a wealthy family, what reason does she have to be hidden for 21 years?
Zhu Liqian was born in Penang, Malaysia, in April 1966.
Although Zhu Liqian was born in Malaysia, her parents were Chinese, and the family moved to Malaysia after moving to Kuala Lumpur at an early age.
Zhu Liqian has a total of six siblings, and she is the third daughter in the family.
Zhu Liqian's father ran the hotel and logistics industry, while her uncle was Chen Zhiyuan, a prominent figure in Asian business.
Therefore, Zhu Liqian has enjoyed a very wealthy life since she was a child.
Unlike the arrogant and domineering eldest lady, Zhu Liqian's personality is gentle and easy-going, and she is very diligent and upward.
Zhu Liqian is a high-profile lady in the Malaysian rich circle, and she has learned Xi etiquette and piano, chess, calligraphy and painting from her mother since she was a child.
When Zhu Liqian was ten years old, due to her outstanding appearance, she participated in a youth beauty contest held by a magazine and achieved a satisfactory third place.
The beautiful and charming Zhu Liqian participated in the beauty pageant again in 1984.
She won third place in the "Miss Trendy" beauty pageant in Penang, Malaysia, and was featured on the cover of the July issue of Trendy Magazine, becoming the "Cover Girl".
Since then, Zhu Liqian has started working as a graphic model and has participated in many magazine shoots. In the Chinese society in Malaysia, she already has a certain popularity.
At that time, everyone thought that the "wealthy lady" Zhu Liqian was very tenacious and hardworking, and she wanted to enter the entertainment industry and become a star with her own efforts.
However, she didn't know that Zhu Liqian was a "hardcore girl", and her original intention was not to become a model, gain fame and become a star, although in the end she achieved these wishes.
Her original intention was to get closer to Andy Lau, so she joined this circle to chase stars.
Andy Lau starred in the TV series "The Condor Heroes" in 1983, when he had just debuted. His role as Yang Guo in the play left a deep impression on the audience.
This drama was released in Malaysia, and Zhu Liqian was immediately deeply attracted by Andy Lau.
Unlike other ordinary girls, Zhu Liqian dares to pursue her dreams, and she firmly believes that as long as she enters the entertainment industry, she can get closer to her idol.
After "The Condor Heroes" was broadcast on TVB, the ratings have remained high, and Andy Lau suddenly became famous.
In order to seize Andy Lau's development prospects, TVB Star signed a five-year contract.
At that time, Andy Lau was not willing to let his time in the next five years be completely limited by TVB, so he politely rejected TVB's request to sign a five-year contract.
TVB had a unique position in the Hong Kong film and television industry at that time, but after being rejected by newcomer Andy Lau, TVB decided not to hire him anymore, but chose to "hide" him.
Andy Lau's career was once at its peak, but then he fell into a trough, gradually faded out of public view, and never received any job offers again.
During this time, Andy Lau spent most of his time participating in Alan Tam's star football team activities.
Andy Lau once traveled to Malaysia with the team for charity activities.
Zhu Liqian is excited to learn that her idol is coming.
Of course, she won't miss the opportunity to meet her idol, so Zhu Liqian asked her good friend to pull the strings for her, claiming to be the cover model of "New Trend" magazine.
Zhu Liqian finally ushered in the moment to meet Andy Lau, whom she had admired for a long time.
When Zhu Liqian met for the first time, she didn't maintain a goddess-like posture, and took the initiative to say, "We seem to have met somewhere." ”
Andy Lau was at a low point at the time, and suddenly a cheerful and beautiful girl appeared, which made him feel happy for the first time in a long time.
After a conversation, Zhu Liqian discovered a different side of Andy Lau from the screen image, and she was deeply attracted by his arrogance and sincerity.
Zhu Liqian was deeply attracted to Andy Lau, and the two left each other
After Andy Lau returned to Hong Kong, Zhu Liqian often crossed the border to call him, and when these two young people first tasted love, the communication between them became more and more harmonious, and slowly feelings sprouted in each other's hearts.
Many years later, Andy Lau said in an interview: "When I first started my acting career, I encountered a low period, but it was my wife Zhu Liqian who was always by my side, and her encouragement gave me the confidence to regain my strength. ”
Thanks to the help of a good friend, Andy Lau later reconciled with TVB and got many job opportunities.
After Andy Lau experienced being "hidden", he grew a lot, worked harder, and became a "desperate San Lang".
With his own efforts, soon after, Andy Lau became a superstar comparable to Chow Yun-fat and Stephen Chow, and completely got rid of the trough.
As Andy Lau's work became increasingly busy, Zhu Liqian's contact with him gradually decreased.
Zhu Liqian has always admired and admired Andy Lau, and naturally she will not sit idly by and watch herself lose contact with Andy Lau, so she set out to find a solution.
In order to take care of her family's aquatic interests, Zhu Liqian went to Hong Kong to study Xi beauty under the pretext of studying beauty and managing the family business by the way.
In order to find true love, Zhu Liqian travels alone to the unfamiliar Hong Kong. That's it.
Andy Lau was moved to see Zhu Liqian come to Hong Kong for himself, and also realized Zhu Liqian's love for him.
Andy Lau also has a soft spot for Zhu Liqian, but his career is still on the rise and he has just reconciled with TVB. If a new relationship is ** at this time, it will inevitably have an impact on his career development.
Andy Lau decided in his heart that he would never make his love life public in the future, because he once caused a sensation after breaking up with Yu Kexin's relationship.
Andy Lau is worried that Zhu Liqian may not be able to accept that there is no clear relationship between them, so even if she chooses to be with her, she can't give her a suitable identity.
Therefore, when Zhu Liqian opened her heart to Andy Lau for the first time, Andy Lau made the choice to refuse.
Zhu Liqian, a considerate and sensible lady, immediately noticed Andy Lau's concerns, and she took the initiative to say: "I don't need a name, and I don't need to disclose my identity, I just hope that it is enough to be by your side silently." ”
Andy Lau can no longer refuse such a sensible Zhu Liqian.
They met and came together in 1986, when Zhu Liqian was only 20 years old and Andy Lau was only 25 years old.
After Zhu Liqian and the king of heaven were together, she really managed to quietly play the role of the woman behind her.
Although they have moved in together, she has never appeared in public with Andy Lau, and the two have never appeared together at the door because she is afraid of being followed by the paparazzi.
Andy Lau recalled the scene at that time and described: "At that time, Qianqian rarely went out because she was afraid of being photographed by the paparazzi, and she changed from a fun-loving girl to a homebody, and she stayed at home all day long. ”
At that time, it was quite difficult to fall in love, and if you wanted to date, you had to rely on good friends to help cover up.
Andy Lau once asked his wife if he felt wronged at that time, but his wife always replied indifferently: "I feel very satisfied to be together at that time." ”
* There are almost no real boyfriends and girlfriends, only in 1989, a reporter photographed Zhu Liqian walking in the community where Andy Lau lived, but did not capture a substantive picture, and in the end there was no progress.
As a first-line top male star, Andy Lau is often subjected to peachy news.
After Andy Lau and Guan Zhilin joined hands in "The New Version of the Condor Heroes", Guan Zhilin made no secret of her admiration for him, and she expressed in public many times: "Andy Lau is a really good man who is trustworthy for a lifetime." ”
In order to cater to the hot topic of the time and have a greater impact, Andy Lau had to respond, saying that Guan Zhilin was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
As soon as it came out, it immediately spread, and rumors spread everywhere, and some people even claimed that Guan Zhilin was Andy Lau's wife.
Anita Mui's female star has also publicly stated that Andy Lau meets the standard of her ideal boyfriend.
In order to attract the public's attention, ex-girlfriend Yu Kexin took advantage of Andy Lau's popularity and wrote a book about the details of her relationship with Andy Lau, which described in detail the conversations and bits and pieces of their relationship.
In the face of all this, Zhu Liqian couldn't express her thoughts publicly, so she could only bear it silently.
She believes that in a relationship, there should be at least trust, so she never asked Andy Lau about it.
Zhu Liqian, as Andy Lau's official girlfriend, everyone generally thought that she should feel very sad in her heart at that time, but she swallowed a lot of anger for Andy Lau's career and the relationship between the two.
It wasn't until 1992 that Andy Lau and Zhu Liqian's relationship was **, when the two were photographed together to see the Repulse Bay mansion.
It is rumored that Andy Lau has invested heavily in a luxury house in Malaysia and is preparing to marry Zhu Liqian.
According to rumors, in 2000, Andy Lau opened a travel agency for Zhu Liqian in Hong Kong to help her pass the boring time.
Zhu Liqian was affectionately called "Mrs. Liu" by the staff of the travel agency.
Andy Lau has never responded positively to these rumors, but said: "My family affairs should not be made public." ”
It wasn't until 2001 that Andy Lau publicly stated that he had a favorite object and was eager to form his own family and have children as soon as possible.
In 2006, Andy Lau admitted that he had a girlfriend and said that he liked the way the two got along very much.
There is a lot of speculation from the outside world, and the person Andy Lau refers to is said to be Zhu Liqian, but the two have never been photographed with conclusive evidence.
In 2008, Andy Lau attended Zhu Liqian's sister's wedding and sang on stage, which clearly shows that he has an unusual relationship with Zhu Liqian.
In a Buddhist act of kindness that only husbands and wives could participate in that year, the names of two people appeared.
Since then, attention has been paid to the relationship between the two men again.
Zhu Liqian's father died suddenly in 2009.
Andy Lau was attending an event in Hong Kong, and when he received the notice, he immediately put down his job and rushed to Malaysia.
On the day of the funeral, many reporters were ready to capture the real hammer and confirm that Andy Lau was the son-in-law of the Zhu family.
However, the secrecy of the funeral was too well done for the journalists to obtain any information.
Many years later, the funeral of that year**, Zhu Liqian burst into tears and turned pale, and Andy Lau interlocked her fingers to comfort her.
Andy Lau realized after the funeral that Zhu Liqian had lost his father's support, so he felt that he needed a solid arm to lean on.
The two held hands and boarded the airport.
After a full 23 years of transparent life, until 2009, Zhu Liqian was finally able to stand with Andy Lau in front of the public, thus ending her years of suffering.
Zhu Liqian was 43 years old when her identity was made public, and because she had not appeared in the public eye as a public figure for a long time, she looked a little nervous and uneasy when facing the cameras.
Zhu Liqian has been standing beside Andy Lau like a bird at the airport, holding his arm tightly.
Andy Lau was very concerned about Zhu Liqian at that time, and said that he did not want to talk more about personal privacy issues, and only hoped to take his wife home to rest as soon as possible.
Andy Lau revealed in an interview that he and Zhu Liqian registered their marriage in Las Vegas on June 28, 2008.
Andy Lau announced at the airport that Zhu Liqian had become a veritable Mrs. Liu.
After everyone learned the identity of Mrs. Zhu Liqian Liu, she still kept a low profile and rarely appeared in the public eye.
Zhu Liqian was already pregnant, and when she was raising a baby in Malaysia, she was photographed by reporters again.
As a 45-year-old mother, Zhu Liqian's every move from pregnancy to childbirth has attracted much attention from the outside world.
It is rumored that Andy Lau is said to have spent 1200 million to buy a luxury house.
Andy Lau and Zhu Liqian's little princess was born in Hong Kong in May 2012 and was named Liu Xianghui.
After Zhu Liqian became a mother, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to taking care of her children and education. She rarely appeared in public, and that time she sat in the audience with her daughter to enjoy Andy Lau's concert.
Zhu Liqian, as an audience, is completely without makeup, although she has a little double chin and a slightly fat figure, she is still fair and translucent, and her facial features are still exquisite.
Zhu Liqian is a middle-aged woman, and she still maintains a humble and gentle attitude, which shows that she is living happily and comfortably.
Lu Yu asked Andy Lau in an interview: "What do you expect an autobiographical movie named "Andy Lau" to be?”
Andy Lau said that he hopes to accompany his wife throughout the movie, and the final scene can be his daughter's wedding.
Andy's love for his wife and daughter has reached the extreme, which can be seen from his simple words.
When Zhu Liqian and Andy Lau's relationship process is retrospective, it is not difficult to find that she gave up on herself and existed like a transparent person after more than 20 years. Doing so inevitably makes people feel that she has suffered a lot of grievances in this relationship.
However, after thinking about it, what a happy thing it is for a woman to be able to marry her idol!
In the entertainment industry, beauties are like clouds, Andy Lau has made a high-profile confession to many goddesses, but he can keep himself clean and self-controlled, and he only loves Zhu Liqian.
The two young people met and fell in love when they were about 20 years old, and now they have spent more than 30 years together, and their love path can be described as enviable from green silk to white hair.
For more than 30 years, Zhu Liqian has guarded Andy Lau, which can be said to be her love for him.
As the girlfriend who was loved by Andy Lau, the dream lover of thousands of girls, Zhu Liqian endured tremendous pressure and hostility from the outside world.
Now Zhu Liqian has worked hard, has a husband who loves her, a lovely daughter, and a family of three is very happy, and this kind of life has made her feel very satisfied.
