Some time ago, Hong Kong star Zhang Min updated a short video on social platforms, which attracted the attention of the audience.
Although she has just celebrated her 56th birthday, she is in excellent condition, not much different from her impression, and she feels full of energy.
Coincidentally, a few days ago, Wang Zuxian, who also just celebrated her birthday, also revealed her current situation on social platforms. Time has also been particularly gentle to her - but she is so beautiful, but she is not married.
Similarly, many actresses who have left a stunning appearance in the Hong Kong industry have also chosen different lives after quitting the industry:
Some of them married as wives but were repeatedly betrayed; some were alone in their fifties, but still remained Free and sober.
Let's take a look at how those "Hong Kong girls" who have left countless classic images to the audience are doing now.
. Zhang Min: chic love, rejection of marriage
Zhang Min was born in Shanghai in 1968, but she moved to Hong Kong with her family when she was 11 years old. Later, due to her beauty, she entered the "ATV" art training class by chance and became an actor. .
Her stardom was extremely smooth. Less than half a year after entering the industry, she was spotted by Zhang Meiling, Xiang Huasheng's ex-wife and the proprietress of Yongsheng Film Company. She then made her debut with "The Magic Jade" and became famous at the age of 18.
In those years, Zhang Min filmed works such as "God of Gamblers" and "Sage of Gamblers", especially the role of Zhao Min in "The Legend of the Heaven and the Dragon Sword", which has been called the "most beautiful" existence to this day, and has never been followed by others.
During the peak period of her career, Zhang Min had great box office appeal, and together with Lizzie, Rosamund Kwan and others, she was known as "the four beauties of Hong Kong".
However, due to her unsatisfactory emotional past due to her suspected involvement in Xiang Huasheng's family, she was eventually abandoned by him. In addition, she felt great pressure in her career, so she tried to quit the industry in 1995 and started doing business in clothing, beauty, etc. aspects of business.
However, due to poor management and a financial crisis, Zhang Min failed to start her business and was defrauded of more than 10 million by her friends, losing all her money.
In order to relieve the pressure, she tried to come back several times and also entered domestic entertainment filming, but there was no splash. After a brief comeback, she returned to calm.
In 2013, 45-year-old Zhang Min was suddenly rumored to be married to her agent Liu Yonghui, who was 10 years younger than her. However, she personally denied it a few years later, saying that she had "never been married."
In recent years, there are rumors that she and Liu Yonghui have been settling in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and have purchased real estate, so she rarely appears in front of the audience.
Last year, Zhang Min was also met by fans in the local area, and she was interviewed by the media and took a set of photos. She was thin and elegant. Many netizens left messages: "Time never defeats beauty."
2. Wang Zuxian: Seclusion "Practice", alone
Wang Zuxian, who has rarely appeared in front of the audience in recent years, also just celebrated his 57th birthday.
It is reported that she has been settling in Canada alone and living a reclusive life.
Wang Zuxian was born in a wealthy family. She was a basketball player under the influence of her father in her early years, and later entered the industry in 1984.
Like Zhang Min, she was quickly appreciated by the nobles - Fang Yihua, the proprietress of Shaw Brothers Film Company at that time, took a fancy to Wang Zuxian's beauty, and immediately signed an eight-year contract with her for a sky-high signing fee of 250,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Joey Wong lived up to expectations, working non-stop every day and acting in 9 dramas in two years.
Especially starring in "A Chinese Ghost Story" in 1987, she was nominated for the Best Actress at the Academy Awards that year.
It was also this year that she met Qi Qin during the filming of "The Green Grass", and the two still had sparks during their collaboration.
But this relationship was not recognized by the families of both parties, and the two broke up after three years of dating.
After that, Wang Zuxian turned around and fell into the arms of the wealthy businessman Lin Jianyue, but the other party had a family - and therefore she bore the notoriety of the "mistress".
Especially Lin Jianyue’s mother also publicly made insulting remarks to attack Wang Zuxian.
In desperation, she had no choice but to move to Canada in 1994 and fade out of the entertainment industry.
Afterwards, Wang Zuxian and Qi Qin reunited. When the two were discussing marriage, the man's ex-girlfriend showed up with her son, forcing him to recognize each other and demanding huge alimony.
Because of this incident, Wang Zuxian was completely desperate, and the two ended their 15-year emotional entanglement.
She also "disappeared" completely. There were rumors that she had escaped into Buddhism, but fans who knew her well came forward to deny it.
But what is little known is that Wang Zuxian is particularly good at investing in real estate. He has many properties in Hong Kong, Canada and other places. He once made a lot of money and was worth more than 1 billion US dollars.
Last year, she returned to China to attend a Dharma conference and was photographed by netizens. She was still full of energy and looked nothing like someone over 50 years old.
3. Li Lizhen: Comeback many times without splash
Known as the "Peach Girl", Li Lizhen is the first generation "Queen of Romance Films", but this does not mean that she will only act in the same type of films.
In fact, not long after her debut, she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for the movie "Shanghai Nights".
In 1992, she first appeared in the TVB TV series "Big Era". Li Lizhen played Fang Ting, who still has a strong presence among stunning actresses such as Zhou Huimin and Lan Jieying.
However, maybe it is because she is so beautiful and she has filmed romantic movies, but her emotional experience is also bumpy.
In 1986, Li Lizhen fell in love with the poet Pan Yuanliang during the filming of "Love Season", but the man also had a family, so she was also regarded as an interfering person, and everyone shouted at her to beat her.
Seeing that there was no result between the two, she chose to break up. Later, she married Lin Yilian's ex-husband, a musician, and got married with a vow and gave birth to a daughter. However, their marriage fell apart after only four years.
During this period, Li Lizhen's career was also greatly affected - although in 1999, she also successfully won the Golden Horse Award for "Best Actress" for starring in the movie "A Thousand Words".
But soon, her popularity fell to the bottom when her "best friend" Li Jingting revealed that "two girls share the same husband".
Although the incident later came to light, it was just an incident directed and acted by the other party, but Li Lizhen still faded out of the entertainment industry because of this.
In 2008, she and Pan Yuanliang got back together again, but they did not achieve success. Eight years later, the two were rumored to have broken up again - this was their fourth breakup.
Later, the man married his girlfriend in 2018, and the bride was not Li Lizhen, which also marked that their relationship was complete.
And Li Lizhen has tried to come back many times in 2011 and 2020, but there was no splash and she could only play marginal supporting roles.
At the end of last year, she appeared at an event with her daughter Xu Yirong. Although her appearance has lost the aura of her early years, she is still much younger than her peers.
4. Vivian Chow: She never met her husband but frequently showed affection
In the Hong Kong circle at that time, where beauties of all kinds emerged in an endless stream, Vivian Chow was a unique existence - she was the first generation of "Jade Girl Leader". After two years in the industry, she was famous for her role in the movie "Three Worlds" Shortlisted for the Academy Award for Best Newcomer.
She has a very high starting point, can also sing and dance, and won the "Golden Record" award for her album.
And Zhou Huimin's emotional experience is also very clean - she has been "entangled" with a man for more than 30 years.
In 1997, when she was at the peak of her career, she suddenly announced her retirement from the industry, and immediately moved to Canada with her boyfriend Ni Zhen.
Many years later, she came forward and revealed that the reason for quitting the industry was that she suffered from anxiety:
"I have to face this matter squarely. I feel that I have been facing overwhelming work for too long and have to go everywhere to promote it. It is very difficult." Ridiculous!"
However, it seems that Zhou Huimin did not live a comfortable life for a few days after retiring:
In those years, news of her boyfriend Ni Zhen cheating on her was reported from time to time. According to incomplete statistics, there were as many as 8 times.
Even the two suddenly got married in early 2009 because the man had just been photographed kissing a young girl.
The two immediately issued official documents announcing their breakup, but what they didn't expect was that a week later, they announced that they had registered their marriage.
But in the 15 years since their marriage, there have been frequent reports that their marriage is on the rocks. Even some time ago, Hong Kong media was still breaking the news.
In the middle of last month, 56-year-old Vivian Chow was still full of energy when she attended an event. Although she was questioned by the outside world about her "aging beauty", she still looked dignified and majestic.
During the event, she also rarely talked about the way she gets along with her husband, saying that his husband would write a "heartfelt card" for her every wedding anniversary.
5. Wan Qiwen: Working hard in business has been forgotten
Wan Qiwen, 54 years old this year, has also been out of the industry for many years.
When she was young, she was active in the Hong Kong circle with the label of "the most beautiful legs" - in 1989, Wan Qiwen won the runner-up of Miss Asia, and then signed a contract with ATV and was highly praised.
She starred in works such as "The Winner Takes the King" and received a good response, and she became the "ATV Sister" at that time.
A few years later, Wan Qiwen had a spark with Donnie Yen when she starred in "Fist of Fury". The following year, she reached the peak of her career with "I Have a Date with Spring".
But at that time, Donnie Yen had just gone through the divorce procedures with his pregnant ex-wife Liang Jingci, which also caused Wan Qiwen to be notorious as a "mistress".
Despite this, the two bravely came together, and she even publicly stated "I will not marry him unless I am" many times.
But fate played a trick on them, and in the end they regretfully broke up due to various reasons.
Some time after that, Wan Qiwen focused all her energy on her career, and soon came up with the hit drama "I Have a Date with a Zombie", and thus met screenwriter Chen Shisan.
Moreover, when filming this work, she suffered two accidental fractures and a cervical disc herniation that caused her coccyx to shift, so she chose to fade away and immediately accepted Chen Shisan's proposal.
In 2000, Wan Qiwen got married. After that, she reduced her workload and only filmed one or two movies a year. Basically, her husband was the screenwriter for every movie after that.
In recent years, she has occasionally come out to film movies, especially in 2021, she starred in the police drama "Hands Do Big Things" with Ouyang Zhenhua and others.
Wan Qiwen also runs a homestay business, and even took photos to promote her homestay. Her beautiful legs are still eye-catching.
In addition, she also "does as the Romans do in the country" when she goes out to bring goods for live broadcasts, but many netizens commented harshly: "I don't know you!"
6. Li Qihong: Complete career change, her smile is still beautiful
Li Qihong, who was once rated as "the most beautiful Guo Xiang" by the outside world, She is the first generation of "sweet girl" - but now she is 54 years old.
She also entered the industry because she participated in the contest for "Miss Hong Kong". The following year, she appeared in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", playing the role of Guo Xiang.
Li Qihong, who has gained a certain reputation, was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress at the 16th Academy Awards for her two films "Golden Wings 2" and "Stormtroopers: Streets of Fury" the following year.
In 1998, she was once again nominated for the Academy Award for "Self-Drawing" and "Spy", which shows her considerable strength.
However, it is the role of "Little Pepper" in "The Two Prouds" that really makes domestic entertainment audiences familiar with Li Qihong.
But when her acting career was booming, she suffered from depression at the age of 32 due to her high workload.
With no choice, Li Qihong had to go to Canada for treatment. During this period, she met her future husband. The two got married in 2004 and gave birth to a son, who was given the Chinese name Li Zhide.
In 2008, she also tried to make a comeback, and most of her roles were comedy roles, but the response was no longer as great as before.
A few years later, Li Qihong's wireless contract expired, and she also worked in domestic entertainment, but her works were few and far between.
In 2013, after her guest appearance in "Beijing Meets Seattle", 43-year-old Li Qihong chose to fade out completely.
After that, she returned to Canada to take a nursing course and became a child psychiatric nurse two years later.
Today’s recent photos of Li Qihong no longer look like a big star, but her smile is still moving.
