75岁 veteran Hong Kong film producer Shi Nansheng passed away on July 13. Ex-partner Tsui Hark returned to Hong Kong to see her off. Her estate goes to none of Tsui per her prior plan, sparking public discussion.
The amount wasn’t huge—nowhere near what top-tier celebrities earn. Yet this money was paid out continuously for 46 years, starting in the early 1980s, when she had just turned 30 and made “Shanghai Beach” a hit, and continuing until her seventies, when her temples had turned gray and she had long since faded from the public eye.
The trending topics suddenly exploded. It all started with a photo of a podium: a parrot standing on the podium holding a trophy, with Huo Siyan’s name clearly labeled next to it. Within a short time, discussions on the topic flooded social media platforms, with…

When it comes to the golden age of Hong Kong TV dramas, who was more popular—Ming-Chun Wang or Yazi Zhao? This question has been debated for decades without a definitive answer.
This set of old photos, often misinterpreted as “unresolved grievances,” holds memories of a unique period in Hong Kong’s entertainment industry. As a veteran Hong Kong entertainer, Wang Mingquan was sidelined by TVB in 1988 for publicly supporting a patriotic group. At the peak of her career, she suddenly plummeted from her status as a “diva” to rock bottom.
At the time, Shi Xiu had skyrocketed to fame playing Hua Wuque in *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*, yet when she was at her most vulnerable, he pushed open the door to her dressing room—which was swarming with reporters—and handed her a cup of hot milk tea:
“Tomorrow, I’ll go with you to do those commercial performances at the docks.”
She’s already 56 this year, yet she actually looks younger and younger! With her graceful figure, skin as white as cream, and eyes as lively as a young girl’s, it’s no wonder she’s been called a “man-magnet”! In my mind, Xu Qing has always had the face of a first love—I wonder how many men have fallen for her over the years! Unfortunately, she has chosen to remain single, eschewing the mundane realities of marriage and pursuing instead the freedom to set off on a whim!
From a bit player to a top star, Zhao Liying was once widely recognized as a “workaholic.”
Yet at the peak of her career, she hit the pause button.
She turned down 23 commercial endorsements and politely declined offers for eight popular period romance dramas, locking herself in a rehearsal room to study the expressions and movements of historical figures.
Some have crunched the numbers: just from those endorsements and TV series alone, she lost out on at least several hundred million yuan.
What was she after?
67-year-old Momoe Yamaguchi was photographed chatting with Tomokazu Miura outside a supermarket, tilting her head up as they talked. The photo is completely unretouched. Her crow’s feet around the eyes are plain to see, and strands of gray streak her hair ends. Yet this very…
