Recently, Jacky Cheung suddenly canceled the Shanghai concert originally scheduled for March 8, and even postponed it to the same period next year.
This incident immediately caused quite a stir. The most outrageous thing is that some people reported that he was suspected to have entered the ICU and was in extremely poor health.
Fortunately, the record company responded immediately, saying that he was just recovering at home due to physical discomfort.
Despite this, many senior fans are still beginning to wonder, feeling that the 62-year-old Jacky Cheung has really worked too hard in recent years - he actually completed more than 100 performances in 8 months, which is surprising:
"Such a big star" You shouldn’t be short of money, right? Why are you still working so hard?”
Then a blogger exposed it, claiming that it was because his wife Luo Meiwei had been investing and managing money, but often lost money due to investment failures. It was even revealed that she lost 10 yuan in 4 years. 100 million.
In fact, as one of the most low-key "Sisters-in-law", she chose to quit her career that was on the rise since she established a stable relationship with Jacky Cheung in 1991, and has never been involved in "ganghu affairs" since then.
Even if she is photographed by the media, she is extremely vigilant. She has also been ridiculed by the public due to news such as mysophobia and investment failure.
But Luo Meiwei has always been held in the palm of Jacky Cheung's hands, and has become an enviable "princess" model.
What advantages does she have that are different from ordinary people, so that she has been favored by the "god of songs" for thirty years?
1. Popular actress fell in love with a young singer
In 1965, Luo Meiwei was born in an ordinary family in Hong Kong. Because her parents had a bad relationship and often quarreled in her early years, her childhood was unhappy.
When she was young, she and her grandmother depended on each other, and their life was very ordinary.
Jacky Cheung, who is 4 years older than Luo Meiwei, is the second eldest son in the family, with an older brother and younger sister. His father is a sailor, who often needs to work overseas, and his income is not stable.
Moreover, although Mr. Zhang does not make much money, he has a wide range of hobbies, including drinking, gambling and dancing. He is even called "dance" by the locals, which makes his life even more difficult.
However, Zhang’s mother has very high demands on her children, especially academically, hoping that they can change their destiny through learning.
"When I was poor, I had to find someone to borrow money to survive. My mother often told me with tears that it would be difficult to ask for help if you don't ask others."
However, Jacky Cheung’s academic performance was not good, but he was very interested in singing. When he was in junior high school, he formed a band with some like-minded friends.
On the other side, Luo Meiwei lived a very ordinary childhood and girlhood - because of her grandmother's love, she did not suffer much, but she was particularly lonely because her parents were not around.
Especially as my grandmother got older, she also hoped to change the status quo through her own growth and hard work.
Time soon came to 1985. At the age of 20, she was accidentally discovered by Huang Baiming who was looking for an actor.
At that time, Huang Baiming was already a well-known screenwriter and actor. A few years ago, he had created the emotional tragedy "The Wrong Ride", which won both word-of-mouth and box office success.
Subsequently, he began to create the "Happy Ghost" series of movies and looked for suitable actors everywhere. It was at this stage that Luo Meiwei appeared.
She immediately starred in the movie "Happy Ghosts Have Summer Vacation" together with Yuan Jieying, Fu Mingxian, Chen Jialing and others who were also just starting out, and became an instant hit.
Not only that, she also joined the "Happy Girls Group" and became a hot rising star.
How good were her resources at that time?
Although many different types of actresses emerged in the Hong Kong circle at the same time, Luo Meiwei was highly praised by Jiahe Company, and the company boss even recognized her as his goddaughter.
"Generation Superstar" Anita Mui also particularly liked Luo Meiwei and considered her as her adopted sister. This relationship lasted until the other party passed away due to illness, which shows that her status in Hong Kong circles is indeed good.
At this stage, Jacky Cheung is not yet the "god of song" worshiped by everyone.
He made his debut in 1984 by participating in the "Hong Kong 18 District Amateur Singing Competition" and winning the championship. He was immediately spotted by Polygram and signed a contract.
In the same year that Luo Meiwei became famous, Jacky Cheung released his first music album "Smile" - although he also won awards and was named "The Most Promising Newcomer", his fame is still not as good as that of the woman.
The two met in 1986 when they collaborated on the filming of "Infatuated Me". Jacky Cheung fell in love with Luo Meiwei at first sight. The two even shared each other's "first kiss on screen" and later fell in love with each other.
They were both brave at the time. Although they were obstructed by their agency, they still announced their relationship officially regardless.
But this relationship got into trouble due to all kinds of trivial matters and huge career changes, and it almost couldn't last.
2. Love encounters changes, and obstacles are overcome to achieve positive results.
Although the outside world is not optimistic about this relationship, the media also said that "Jacky Cheung is high", and the woman's fans also shouted: "Don't affect her development!"
But the two of them love each other. Obsessed, but for the development of each other's careers, they both decided to transfer their love "underground".
During this period, Luo Meiwei joined the ranks of "top women" by starring in the romantic comedy movie "You're OK, I'm OK".
then starred in "Eight Happiness" and "Double Dragon Spitting Pearls", and also served as the heroine in the movie "The Favorite" directed by Sylvia Chang.
Not only that, Luo Meiwei is also known as "Hong Kong's promising female actors" together with Maggie Cheung, Carina Lau, and Chung Chu-hong.
However, Jacky Cheung’s career fell to the bottom after experiencing a peak.
He has successively released albums such as "Love Never Returns" and "In the Deepest Heart of My Heart", which have achieved great sales results. They were once popular in the streets and alleys of Hong Kong, and every concert was sold out.
Looking back now, it can be said that 1987 was Jacky Cheung’s most glorious year, but how can there be eternal highlights in life?
In 1988, when he was at the peak of his career, he began to be perfunctory in creation, and his singing was not as hard as before. As a result, the sales of his fifth album "Confusion" were dismal after its release, and its performance was not as good as 1/10 of the previous album.
Moreover, Jacky Cheung failed to gain anything at the various music award ceremonies that year. It can be said that he fell from the peak to the bottom.
Under the heavy pressure, he began to numb himself with alcohol and hung out in nightclubs all night...
At first, Luo Meiwei felt very distressed and took time out to stay with her boyfriend every day, hoping to encourage him to get back on his feet.
But Jacky Cheung didn't listen. He even got drunk and made trouble on the set of "Carmen" and made a fool of himself at Anita Mui's birthday party.
Everyone sneered at the "degeneration" of this rising star in the music industry, but Luo Meiwei still tried to take him to see a psychiatrist and actively traveled with him to relax, hoping to untie her boyfriend's knot.
But Jacky Cheung became irritable and irritable, and could not listen to any suggestions at all.
In desperation, Luo Meiwei finally disclosed the news of the unilateral breakup to the media in March 1988.
Jacky Cheung panicked and ran to the other party's house to beg for reconciliation, but failed many times.
After thinking about it, he finally realized that only by changing himself could he save this hard-won relationship. After that, he held a press conference and bluntly stated that he would quit drinking and said:
"Although May broke up with me, I still love her." , I hope that after I change, she can give me a chance to love her again!"
Sure enough, the following year, Jacky Cheung released the album "Give My Dear" which was regarded by the outside world as "a confession to Luo Meiwei".
's song "Only Love One Person in My Life" also won the Top Ten Golden Melody Award - and because of this, his career began to rebound.
And this song seems to reflect the deep love between him and Luo Meiwei. Looking back now, it is indeed true to what he said.
But it was also this year that Jacky Cheung and another actress Priscilla Chan were involved in a scandal because they sang a song "A Pair of Lonely Hearts" together.
The two have known each other since childhood and have been friends for many years. However, the fact that each other was able to help Jacky Cheung in his most difficult time is also a good story.
And they sang love songs many times afterwards, showed off their "love" on the stage, contributed to a lot of topics, and also made Jacky Cheung's career improve.
On the other side, he began to pursue Luo Meiwei again.
During this period, the woman also successively filmed works such as "The Brave Tiger King Flower", "Battle Again", and "Midnight Angel".
Looking back now, her beauty is really recognizable. Not only does her single eyelids not detract from her, but she is also very unique.
Even if she stands with the most beautiful actresses such as Zhang Min, Zhou Huimin, Qiu Shuzhen, etc., she will not lose at all.
But at the peak of her career, she chose to quit and focus on being the woman behind Jacky Cheung.
3. Quit the industry in a low-key manner, but there are frequent rumors of investment failures
In 1991, the two officially announced their reunion, and Luo Meiwei also decisively announced her withdrawal from the industry to stay at home with her husband and children.
After that, her previous works such as "The Wild Heroine" and "The Lover's Confidant" were released one after another. After the crime movie "Daughters Should Be Strong" was released, Luo Meiwei's acting career was completely over.
years later, she married Jacky Cheung in a low-key manner, bringing an end to her ten-year relationship. From then on, she entered a new stage of life with the label "Mrs. Zhang".
It was different from the extravagant wedding imagined by the "King of Heaven". When the two got married, Jacky Cheung didn't even prepare flowers or champagne. They even hesitated just before registration.
But a few years later, Jacky Cheung gave his wife the right to name an asteroid given by the World Asteroid Association as a gift - he named a star after Luo Meiwei's English name "May".
The following year, the two gave birth to their daughter Zhang Yaohua, and five years later they welcomed their second daughter, Zhang Yaoxuan.
Originally, their marriage was enough to be talked about by the outside world, and Luo Meiwei didn't like to be in the limelight, nor did she like luxury brands.
But she likes to manage money, and she is generous and aggressive.
It is said that Luo Meiwei always invests 7 or 8 digits every time without blinking an eye.
But in 2008, she suddenly lost more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars due to investing in a company in the United States, which became a hot topic for a time.
It was also at that stage that Jacky Cheung held frequent concerts and was even recognized by Guinness World Records, breaking the record for the number of concerts held by a singer.
Throughout 2010, the "king" was very busy. He released a new album at the beginning of the year and started holding concerts at the end of the year to "make money".
Later, he "stopped" for a period, but it is said that Luo Meiwei is still looking for investment opportunities.
A few years later, it was rumored that she had made hundreds of millions of dollars from stock trading. She was also on trending searches and was praised for her sound investment.
But what no one expected was that soon the family was swept away by adultery, and it was suspected that they lost all 1 billion.
In 2021, Jacky Cheung put his villa worth 430 million on the market, and people speculated that Luo Meiwei might have lost money again.
Until now, he has started singing enthusiastically at the age of 62 - he has appeared on stage for more than 100 consecutive performances since May last year. In each performance, he sang and danced for more than 2 hours, which made fans feel distressed.
However, some people ridiculed the "god of singing" that it is not easy for him to come out to "make money" at such an old age.
However, no matter what negative comments the outside world has about Luo Meiwei, Jacky Cheung said bluntly in the interview:
"At home, I listen to my wife in all matters, but I feel this is not fear, but a kind of respect. She has done everything for me She gave up her career and focused on taking care of her family. She paid so much for me."
So marriage is like a fish drinking water, knowing whether it is good or bad.
It is not that Luo Meiwei saved the galaxy in her previous life in exchange for Jacky Cheung's tolerance and favor, but that the two have found a balance point for each other in the nearly 40 years of working together.
Even if 62-year-old Jacky Cheung has to work a heavy workload to "plug the hole" for his wife. Outsiders may not understand it, but for him, it is also the best way to express love.
So, best wishes.
