In 2019, some media took photos of Andy Lau’s sister picking up garbage on the street. In the photo, she was dressed in tatters and slovenly, looking like an ordinary housewife. The background behind her seemed to be a slum.
So why did the "King" Andy Lau, who is worth billions and owns countless mansions, watch his own sister end up like this?
In the entertainment industry, there are many celebrities who live in poverty like this with their glamorous brothers and sisters. What is the reason that causes the relationship between them to "fall apart"?
Let’s take a look.
Today’s Jacky Cheung can be said to be a big star that everyone in the Chinese circle knows and knows about, not to mention his net worth, but his brother seems to be not having a good life. Is it possible that Jacky Cheung, who has a net worth of over 100 million? Don't care about his brother?
Although Jacky Cheung looks so glamorous now, he did not live a happy life in his childhood. He was born in an extremely poor family. There is a brother and a sister.
Poverty is not the most terrifying thing. What is even more terrifying is that his father is keen on playing cards. This makes families who are not already wealthy even worse.
As the three children continue to grow up, the burden on the family gradually becomes heavier. Not only did his father not wake up, he even passed on the bad habit of playing cards to Jacky Cheung’s brother, Jacky Cheung.
The father and son have been dreaming of changing their family's status quo by playing cards.
As the saying goes, you will lose nine out of ten times when you play cards, let alone two people in the family playing this game. In desperation, the mother has to shoulder the burden of the family, but no matter how much money she earns, she cannot fill this "bottomless pit." .
Therefore, Jacky Cheung had no choice but to start working after completing college preparatory studies at the age of seventeen. Only then did the family's situation gradually improve.
After working for several years, Jacky Cheung participated in a music competition and gradually moved closer to the entertainment industry.
Seeing his younger brother getting on the right track step by step, Zhang Xuezhi still lives a hazy life as a playboy.
In desperation, Jacky Cheung asked his brother to be his agent and asked him to help him handle some related matters. Firstly, he would have something to do, and secondly, he could distract himself from thinking about playing cards. Son.
However, the peaceful days did not last long.
Due to the different circles he came into contact with as an agent, Jacky Cheung began to play bigger, not only playing with various wealthy people, but also going to Macau to play. The chips became bigger and bigger as he played, and gradually Jacky Cheung became I sensed something was wrong with my brother.
At first, he just gave him earnest advice and slowly helped him pay off some debts out of brotherly love.
Zhang Xuezhi, who was "crazy", refused to listen to any advice, and instead intensified his efforts until one day he owed millions.
Jacky Cheung finally understood that no amount of money could fill the "bottomless pit" of his brother, so he publicly announced that he would no longer care about his brother. It is even more impossible to keep him working by your side to avoid endless troubles.
But on the one hand, due to the family affection of his compatriots and on the other hand, his mother's pleading, Jacky Cheung had no choice but to agree to help his brother pay off the debt, and everything after that would have nothing to do with him.
Since then, the two brothers have completely broken up, and the two brothers did not see each other until their father's funeral.
Jacky Cheung felt helpless when he saw that his brother was not doing well. However, in the eyes of many people, Zhang Xuezhi could have been his younger brother's manager and lived a life without worrying about food and drink, but he didn't know how to cherish it. Not worthy of pity at all.
Andy Lau, the "King of Heaven" as we know him, was born in a rural family in the New Territories of Hong Kong. There are six children in the family, and Andy Lau is the fourth. So Andy Lau, who is now worth billions and earns tens of millions for a movie, how is his family doing?
My younger brother Liu Desheng is doing pretty well. He opened a film and television post-production company in Hong Kong more than ten years ago. Andy Lau often introduces some projects to him.
On the other hand, Andy Lau's eldest sister seems not so lucky. But Andy Lau can be regarded as the most benevolent person, and the situation she is in now is the result of her own fault.
Since her parents are traveling all year round in order to make a living, the eldest sister takes on the heavy responsibility of taking care of her younger siblings. In order for her siblings to have a happy childhood, she even sacrificed her studies, and in the end she could only make ends meet by doing odd jobs.
Because of this, Andy Lau took extra care of his eldest sister after he became famous, and responded to her various requests for buying a car or a house. Whether it's the eldest sister's marriage to a wife or a daughter, Andy Lau always contributes money and effort.
However, all of what he did did not earn the eldest sister's gratitude. Instead, she felt that all of it was natural, after all, she suffered so much when she was a child.
As time went by, the eldest sister and her family stopped working, because she felt that no matter what needs she had, her younger brother, the "Superstar", would satisfy them one by one.
What's more, she was once obsessed with playing cards, and she didn't give up until she went bankrupt. At the beginning, Andy Lau would pay off her debts, and every time he paid off, she would promise that there wouldn't be another time. But while he was making promises, he kept getting bigger and bigger at the same time.
Until one time, she started selling fake concert tickets and fake autographs to Andy Lau fans. You must know that doing so will undoubtedly damage Hua Tsai's credibility as a public figure, and may even destroy him.
This time, Andy finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he publicly announced directly in front of the media that he would not give any financial support to his eldest sister.
The eldest sister lost her financial support and lost her house and car, so she had to move her family into a slum.
Some people may think that Andy, the eldest sister who has grown up with him since childhood, seems a bit unkind, but few people know how much he has helped his eldest sister. He is doing this now out of spite. steel. I just hope that my eldest sister can live a normal life again.
However, the eldest sister disagrees, so she can only blame herself. Now she can only make ends meet by picking up rags.
Ye Tong, the well-known "Xu Xian", has a half-brother named Li Zhongning.
It is said that Yip Tong, the elder brother, was a smash hit on Hong Kong TVB in the 1980s. He was hailed as one of the "Galaxy Ten Stars" at that time. Because he looked like Tony Leung, he was nicknamed "Big Tony Leung" ".
Later, he became famous for his romantic movies, but his career as an actor was ruined because of a large number of such movies. Within a few years, he disappeared and moved abroad to start a business.
It was not until 2014 that Li Zhongning returned to Hong Kong. Because he had no skills, he worked as a security guard. At this time, Li Zhongning was 61 years old.
He also suffers from mild Alzheimer's disease and vitiligo, and his salary as a security guard is just enough to support his medication. He is not even married yet and has no children. He can be called an "old man with no one to rely on".
It is inevitable that the TVB male star who was once a hit has ended up in such a bad place now.
As a younger sister, did Ye Tong give her brother some help in life?
Obviously not. Ye Tong once said in an interview:
"Although we are related by blood to this relative, we have always been relatively alienated. We never knew that he had returned. Hong Kong. I always thought he was still in the UK." There was a sense of alienation in his words.
What is unexpected is that they only met three times, once when his father passed away, once when Ye Tong went to England to visit him, and once when Ye Tong got married.
However, this is not very strange. After all, every family has a different lifestyle, and there are many half-brothers and sisters who become strangers.
Jackie Chan’s family status has rarely been mentioned. Many people think that he is the only son in the family.
What is difficult for everyone to imagine is that Jackie Chan’s family members are very “rich”.
He has two half-brothers and two half-sisters. Even he didn't know about them until later.
Why does he know nothing? Because his father always joked that he was picked up. Over time, he came to believe it to be true.
It was not until many years later that his father told him that before he met his mother, he had a family in Anhui and that he had two brothers: Fang Shide and Fang Shisheng.
His mother also told him that he had also started a family and that he had two sisters.
Jackie Chan, who thought he was the only son in the family, was shocked. How are his brothers and sisters doing now?
Jackie Chan's two brothers are retired post office employees. They once brought genealogy to prove themselves in "Extraordinary" hosted by Meng Fei. He also expressed the hope of meeting Jackie Chan, because when his father passed away in 2008, he wanted to go there for the funeral, but failed after many attempts to contact him.
If I could meet Jackie Chan, it would be a wish fulfilled.
Jackie Chan also asked the director of his team to return to Anhui to shoot a documentary called "The Depths of the Dragon - The Lost Puzzle", which told the story of his father. It was before filming that he knew about the existence of his two brothers.
In September 2013, Jackie Chan returned to Anhui to "recognize his ancestors" and went to the Fang family ancestral hall to worship. This was also the first time the three brothers met. Although the whole meeting The process only lasted fifteen minutes.
The two brothers were naturally overjoyed to see their star brother, whom they had been proud of for many years. Maybe it's because they didn't grow up together, but Jackie Chan and his two brothers don't seem to be close to each other.
However, the relationship between Jackie Chan and his two sisters seems to be better than that of his two brothers.
Jackie Chan’s mother, Chen Lili, is also from Wuhu, Anhui, and is from the same hometown as his father. When he grew up, he married a shoemaker. After giving birth to two daughters, she became Jackie Chan's sister.
After meeting Jackie Chan’s father, Chen Lili left her two daughters behind when she went to a foreign country.
It was not until many years later that he met his two daughters. Because Jackie Chan was busy with his career all year round, the two elderly people had no relatives in Australia, so the second sister Chen Guilan moved to Australia.
Jackie Chan spent a huge amount of money to buy a villa for his sister and his family to live in. Since then, there have been more contacts between the sister and brother.
Although her younger brother is an international superstar, her elder sister has always kept a low profile.
It was not until 2001 when her mother was seriously ill that her elder sister kept coming in and out of her parents' mansion, and people began to suspect her and Jackie Chan. relationship between. When someone asked, she said: "Oh, I don't know."
It can be seen that Jackie Chan's brothers and sisters have nothing to show off because their brother is an "international superstar". Just being low-key and proud.
As for the issue of Jackie Chan and his brother and sister refusing to recognize each other, Jackie Chan said: "The blood relationship is there, and it takes time to cultivate feelings." After all, I didn't know about their existence until much later.
"Fa Ge" Chow Yun-fat has been in the industry for several years. Today, he is worth billions, owns countless luxury cars and luxury properties. On the other hand, his eldest sister Zhou Conling seems to be living a "poor" life. Down and out".
Why is this happening? Does he not care about his sister?
Chow Yun-fat grew up in a difficult family, and his father wandered away all year round in order to make a living. The mother stayed at home to take care of their four siblings, which was very hard.
Therefore, after her sister Zhou Cangling graduated from junior high school, she returned home to help her mother take care of her younger siblings. After her younger siblings grew up, she started her own working career.
My sister has been passionate about photography since she was a child. Every time she passes by a photo studio, she has to stop at the door for a long time. It wasn't until she was eighteen that she finally saved up enough money to buy her first camera.
The reason why someone took a photo of the eldest sister "living on the street" in 2021 was because of photography.
The so-called "living on the street" was just a misunderstanding. Zhou Cangling never gave up her beloved photography career, so she has been living in her hometown of Lamma Island after retirement.
When she has time, she will appear on the street carrying large and small bags of photographic equipment to collect photos. In that photo, she was just tired from walking and sitting on a bench to rest. She did not expect that someone would take it out of context. ".
Zhou Cangling has been living in her ancestral home since she returned to her hometown. She used the money she earned from doing part-time jobs to buy photographic equipment. Her life is very poor, but she is not "living on the streets."
Fa Ge once invited his sister to live with him at home, but her sister refused.
My sister said that she is a person who advocates freedom and should keep a certain distance between people. It is inevitable that there will be friction after being together for a long time. She also doesn't contact Chow Yun-fat often. It's not because the relationship is bad, but because she knows how busy her brother is.
He even described the relationship between siblings in terms of Chu, He and Han: "He has his busy schedule, and I have my life, which is different."
Fa Ge chose to fully respect his sister's I came up with the idea and bought my sister a house so that she could have a place to live when she gets old. I even bought a complete set of photography equipment for my sister.
It can be seen that Fa Ge does not care about his sister as many people say. He just chose to fully respect his sister's lifestyle.
Chen Xiaochun has been in the entertainment industry for many years and now has a net worth of hundreds of millions and a happy family. But one thing that happened in his youth became a permanent pain for him, that is, he sold his younger brother for 3,000 yuan because of family pressure.
Perhaps in today's era, hearing this makes everyone feel incredible, but in that era of insufficient food, such things were nothing.
While walking down the street, Chen Xiaochun saw a small advertisement. It said that I wanted to buy a son. The other party had no children, and the family conditions were very favorable. Chen Xiaochun was tempted, he wanted to send his brother to live a good life.
When he came home and told the story, his father firmly disagreed at first, but after careful consideration, he sent his brother away, and the other party sent him 3,000 yuan as a reward.
After sending his younger brother away, Chen Xiaochun dropped out of school to work outside to make a living. He has left his mark in all walks of life. Even though he endured countless hardships, he could not save the money to redeem his younger brother.
Until an accidental opportunity, he came into contact with acting.
There are opportunities to become famous while constantly playing small roles.
With his own efforts, Chen Xiaochun finally got rid of poverty and lived the life he wanted. Married to a beautiful wife and gave birth to two lovely children. He has a happy family, but his younger brother has become his eternal pain.
Because of this, Chen Xiaochun never gave up looking for his brother.
He once thought that with the current technological development and his social status, it would not be too difficult to find his brother. However, even though he used all his connections to find his brother, there was still no good news.
His father also advised him not to look for him anymore. His younger brother had already lived in that family for so many years. His adoptive parents worked hard to raise him, and he would not know that he was sold. In this way, until Chen's father passed away in 2016, there was no trace of the whereabouts of his younger son.
Jordan Chan still has not given up.
Chen Xiaochun often thinks that his younger brother should live a good life out of his sight, and now he has reached the age of having children. How much he wanted to see if his brother was doing well, buy him a big house, and try his best to make up for it with everything he could give.
But where is he? Faced with such a situation, Chen Xiaochun could only feel overwhelmed.
Looking at these celebrities who are glamorous but whose brothers and sisters are in poverty or even lose their lives, we have to say that every family has its own problems.
Some people respect each other's lifestyle, and this is understandable. There are also people who have more ambition than strength, and some people just bring it upon themselves. It is the plight of such people that constantly reminds us to cherish the wonderful life we ??have.
