There is a saying: If you fall in love with someone you cannot be with, it is wise to give up as soon as possible.

When Simon Yam was 35 years old, he saw a model named Qi Qi in a magazine, which inadvertently aroused his passion.
learned some basic information about Qiqi after many inquiries, but had no chance to meet her. At this time, my thoughts about Qiqi were more of unrequited love.
Qiqi was born in Shanghai in 1967. She comes from a superior family and is tall and typical of Bai Fumei. When I was a child, I immigrated to Austria with my parents and can speak three languages.
Qiqi originally just wanted to find a summer job through modeling, but she didn't expect that modeling would become her career. Coincidentally, Simon Yam first entered the entertainment industry through modeling.
What’s even more coincidental is that Simon Yam once went to Vienna to film a movie and met Qi Qi’s family while they were playing.
Fate just came, Simon Yam took the initiative to say hello and invited Qiqi's family to dinner.
Simon Yam boldly confessed directly. After all, it was too sudden, so Qiqi directly refused. Unexpectedly, Qiqi's parents were very satisfied with Simon Yam.
In the days that followed, Simon Yam began a fierce pursuit.
Simon Yam is 12 years older than Qi Qi. Simon Yam was able to break through among many suitors not only because of his strength, but also because of his charisma.
In this way, the two began a six-year relationship. In the end, the two fell in love and the family was satisfied.
In 1997, they officially became husband and wife.
With the one you love, even the dullest days will become full of surprises and laughter, and every moment is worth cherishing.

After many years of marriage, Simon Yam wanted to have children, but Qiqi wanted to keep in shape because she was a model.
Therefore, the two chose to become "DINKs", so they did not have children.
As time went by, the relationship between the two deepened and they cherished each other more. Qiqi finally chose to become a mother.
In 2004, their daughter came to them smoothly. For 50-year-old Simon Yam, a daughter comes with age, and he finally sees the fruit of his love that he has been waiting for for almost 8 years.
Simon Yam was so excited when facing his beloved daughter that he burst into tears. There is a kind of tears called happiness, it is not a bitter taste, it is a sweet taste.
