  • 00:09

    Hello, everyone. I'm Mrs. Entertainment.

  • 00:11

    Welcome to share entertainment news with me.

  • 00:15

    Thank you for watching and subscribing.

  • 00:17

    Since his debut, Andy Lau has had a good reputation.

  • 00:21

    He makes many friends in the entertainment industry,

  • 00:24

    and he is generous and there are almost no gossips about him.

  • 00:27

    But Andy Lau, who owns tens of billions,

  • 00:30

    is letting his eldest sister live a poor life relying on subsistence.

  • 00:34

    Andy Lau stated that he would never help her. Why?

  • 00:39

    Actually, his eldest sister helped him when he was a child, she treated him like a mother.

  • 00:45

    The day 27th of September, 1961 is destined to be unusual,

  • 00:50

    because a superstar was born.

  • 00:53

    He is not only the first son in the Liu family,

  • 00:55

    but also the superstar who receives our attention.

  • 00:59

    What's more worth mentioning is that Jacky Cheung was born in the same year,

  • 01:04

    who is also one of the “Four Heavenly Kings”.

  • 01:06

    Andy Lau wasn’t born in a rich family.

  • 01:08

    When he was 6 years old, his father was determined to take them to the city.

  • 01:14

    Andy Lau's grandfather tried to stop it and he didn’t leave any legacy to Andy Lau's father.

  • 01:20

    Therefore, Andy Lau's father took his family to the city empty-handed, and they lived in the slum.

  • 01:27

    In addition to Andy Lau, he also has three older sisters, one little brother and one younger sister.

  • 01:34

    In order to enable the children to lead a carefree life,

  • 01:37

    his parents were under great pressure and they lived in poverty.

  • 01:41

    Though they owned a small grocery store, it wasn’t enough to support the whole family.

  • 01:48

    As the saying goes, “A child from a poor family knows how to make a living early.”.

  • 01:51

    Andy Lau and his sister often helped with their family business in order to support the family.

  • 01:57

    When Andy Lau delivered food to a studio, he met Simon Yam who was very famous.

  • 02:03

    It was from that time that he became very interested in acting.

  • 02:08

    Because of his family, he still decided to stay at home to help his parents.

  • 02:14

    When he was in middle school, he started to become an apprentice in a barbershop.

  • 02:19

    Unexpectedly, Andy Lau was actually good at cutting hair.

  • 02:24

    He made the barbershop popular.

  • 02:26

    His oldest sister was the person who supported him the most at that time.

  • 02:29

    Due to the fact that there are so many children in the family, his oldest sister took the responsibility to take care of them.

  • 02:34

    Andy Lau’s biggest sister was special to him,

  • 02:37

    she cared about him the most whenever she was free.

  • 02:42

    There was one time when Andy Lau hummed a song casually,

  • 02:46

    which made his eldest sister think that Andy Lau sings very well and he is very gifted,

  • 02:54

    it would be a great idea if he could work in this field.

  • 02:56

    At first, Andy Lau worked as an apprentice in the barbershop and he didn’t think too much.

  • 03:01

    However, his eldest sister didn’t want him to give up and ran around to help him realize his dream.

  • 03:07

    With the support of his eldest sister, Andy Lau began to earn money by singing to support his family.

  • 03:14

    Unexpectedly, he was also discovered by a good judge of talent,

  • 03:18

    who encouraged him to attend the TV artist training class.

  • 03:21

    In order to live up to the expectation of his oldest sister, he worked hard during his studies.

  • 03:26

    He successfully signed the contract after graduation because of his excellent grades.

  • 03:30

    Andy Lau was a rookie in the entertainment industry.

  • 03:33

    Even if he signed a contract with the company, he could only play the extras.

  • 03:38

    Thankfully, he met a big shot, Chow Yun-Fat, during that time.

  • 03:43

    Chow Yun-Fat was already a famous star at that time.

  • 03:47

    He was respected by people in the entertainment industry.

  • 03:50

    Andy Lau was no one and he never thought that he would have the chance to approach Chow Yun-Fat.

  • 03:56

    Unexpectedly, Chow Yun-Fat appeared to be a superstar who is down-to-earth.

  • 04:03

    Chow Yun-Fat encouraged Andy Lau to work hard, which gave Andy Lau the courage to pursue his career.

  • 04:09

    A year later, Andy Lau starred in “Boat People”.

  • 04:12

    He gained the experience from playing the extras,

  • 04:15

    and used this film to let the audience remember his name.

  • 04:20

    Since then, his career path has been quite smooth.

  • 04:23

    After becoming famous, Andy Lau has always treated Chow Yun-Fat as his savior.

  • 04:29

    Adhering to the kind belief, he has been developing very well in the entertainment industry.

  • 04:35

    It was also at this time that he established a deep relationship with George Lam.

  • 04:41

    George Lam is specialized in singing and he saw Andy Lau’s talent.

  • 04:46

    Under his careful cultivation, Andy Lau made rapid progress.

  • 04:50

    This has made Andy Lau become a superstar both in the film and music industries.

  • 04:55

    Andy Lau released the album “Forget Love Potion” in 1994, which received position feedback from the audience right after it was released.

  • 05:02

    This song not only makes him famous but also becomes the ending song in the film “When Heaven Burns” he starred in.

  • 05:10

    Andy Lau, who had a smooth career in acting, decided to invest in the filming industry.

  • 05:15

    Therefore, he founded Teamwork Motion Pictures.

  • 05:18

    The first film “Saviour of the Soul” received positive feedback which made him more confident.

  • 05:23

    Then the company was in huge losses, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Andy Lau.

  • 05:31

    Fortunately, Andy Lau was popular in the entertainment industry.

  • 05:34

    After receiving help, he officially started to pursue his new acting career.

  • 05:38

    Andy Lau is famous now, and he has never forgotten to help his family.

  • 05:42

    In order to let his brother lead a carefree life, he established a film company with his brother.

  • 05:49

    As long as Andy Lau was filming, he always invited his brother’s company to get involved.

  • 05:54

    It didn’t take long for his brother to shine in the entertainment industry.

  • 05:58

    As long as there is a chance to earn money, he would always invite his brother to join.

  • 06:02

    With Andy Lau's help, his brother's career has gradually improved.

  • 06:07

    In addition to his brother, his eldest sister brought him up and helped him a lot.

  • 06:13

    What has Andy Lau’s sister experienced over the years?

  • 06:17

    Andy Lau not only helped her sister buy cars and houses but also fulfilled all her requirements.

  • 06:24

    At first, his eldest sister was grateful for his help.

  • 06:28

    However, she gradually took it for granted,

  • 06:32

    and she even became greedy.

  • 06:36

    She didn’t have a job and she was addicted to gambling.

  • 06:40

    She ended up owing a debt,

  • 06:43

    which Andy Lau had to use his own money to help her pay off.

  • 06:48

    After paying off the debt for his eldest sister, he also advised her not to indulge in gambling.

  • 06:52

    However, she refused to listen.

  • 06:54

    Due to his sister’s endless requests, Andy Lau decided not to indulge her anymore.

  • 06:59

    He stopped helping his sister by not giving her money.

  • 07:03

    He wished that it could lead her to the right away; however, he was blackened.

  • 07:10

    Even so, Andy Lau didn’t come forward to clarify it.

  • 07:14

    Instead, he helped her repay several gambling debts.

  • 07:21

    However, his sister didn’t know anything about it.

  • 07:23

    After Andy Lau stopped giving her money,

  • 07:26

    she decided to sell Andy Lau’s fake concert tickets for a higher price.

  • 07:31

    Fans had waited for a year until they found that Andy Lau didn’t really plan this concert.

  • 07:38

    After finding it out, Andy Lau was completely disappointed with his sister.

  • 07:42

    He announced at the press conference that he decided to sever the relationship with his sister and he would not contact her again.

  • 07:49

    It’s known that Andy Lau treats his fans very well.

  • 07:52

    His sister scammed his fans, no wonder he became completely disappointed with her.

  • 07:56

    It is often said that fans and idols love each other,

  • 08:00

    but very few idols love their fans with their hearts.

  • 08:05

    Andy Lau did it.

  • 08:07

    Fans call him “Boss”, and he made a song especially for his fans.

  • 08:14

    At the Andy Lau Birthday Party 2010,

  • 08:18

    he wore a black shirt and red pants while singing “Still singing my song”.

  • 08:24

    He said that he wanted to sing this song to his fans a long time ago,

  • 08:29

    but he rarely sang it in his recent concerts.

  • 08:32

    He hoped that his fans could remember the song “Still singing my song”.

  • 08:35

    Fans were screaming and waving in the concert, and they couldn’t calm down.

  • 08:42

    They didn’t expect that they could hear Andy Lau sing the song again.

  • 08:46

    His voice was beautiful as always and the magnetic voice sounded more affectionate.

  • 08:52

    “Thank you for not letting me go, and protecting me."

  • 08:55

    "We're going down this unfamiliar path, but you're still singing my song.”

  • 08:58

    Andy Lau, who was almost 50 years at that time, became so emotional and made the audience cry.

  • 09:04

    He said that I am so proud of you,

  • 09:08

    which is for the fans who have always been there for him.

  • 09:12

    Whoever knows Andy Lau must understand the meaning of this song.

  • 09:16

    When he first entered the music circle, he was mocked by many people for lack of strength since he didn’t have a masterpiece.

  • 09:22

    When he was at the rock bottom of his life, he created the song with his friend.

  • 09:27

    He was afraid that he would be abandoned throughout time.

  • 09:29

    But there is probably no one in this world who does not love Andy Lau.

  • 09:33

    When he held his first solo concert in Hung Hom in 1993,

  • 09:38

    a child fell down from the stands and passed away.

  • 09:43

    Andy Lau learned the news at his last concert, he sang the song “Desperate Smile”.

  • 09:49

    After finishing the concert, he couldn’t help breaking down and crying.

  • 09:54

    He sang the last song “Love You Ten Thousand Year” at the Singapore concert in 2001.

  • 10:01

    Listening to the screaming from the fans, he burst into tears while walking to the stage.

  • 10:08

    In 2007, Andy Lau accidentally received a letter from a fan who is from Inner Mongolia after he had finished preparing for the concerts.

  • 10:16

    He changed his plan after reading the letter.

  • 10:20

    In his national tour in 2007, the first stop was Hohhot, Inner Mongolia.

  • 10:25

    Andy Lau, who sang “Today” while wearing a white shirt, choked and could hardly speak.

  • 10:31

    “You must remember my name Andy Lau, I will not change it in my next life.”

  • 10:36

    “I will still be called Andy Lau and I will hold concerts, you must come to see me!”

  • 10:42

    My Love Tour included 20ths concerts. In the 14th concert of the tour in 2018,

  • 10:47

    while singing the song “If One Day”, the doctor had to ask him to stop because of the inflammation of his throat.

  • 10:55

    57-year-old Andy Lau cried so hard on stage and bow to the audience constantly to apologize.

  • 11:03

    Carol Chu was the first person who stood up to cheer him up.

  • 11:08

    The fans cried because they were worried about him. They shouted: “Come on, I love you!”.

  • 11:15

    This scene is more touching than any words.

  • 11:19

    He has always been brave and sincere along the way.

  • 11:22

    If you ask teenagers nowadays who is their favorite singers, they will probably come up with different names.

  • 11:29

    However, if you ask people who have lived in the era of the “Four Heavenly Kings”, they will definitely say Andy Lau.

  • 11:34

    Now, you must know why Andy Lau has been popular for a lifetime.

  • 11:39

    Speaking of Andy Lau’s oldest sister,

  • 11:41

    without the help from Andy Lau, she started to live a miserable life,

  • 11:47

    and she couldn’t even support herself.

  • 11:50

    His sister has lost a certain financial foundation.

  • 11:53

    She still lives in a cheap rental house when she is above 60 years old. Her life returns to the ordinary.

  • 11:59

    Though Andy Lau is famous and successful, he earns the money by working hard.

  • 12:04

    His sister can’t do that to him.

  • 12:06

    Andy Lau is grateful. After becoming famous, he has helped his brother become a wealthy businessman.

  • 12:11

    It's sad to mention his sister.

  • 12:14

    I hope his sister can repent, and I hope Andy Lau can lead a better life.
