Chau Yun Phat: The classic Cbiz 'card god', who used to kneel in front of 1 beauty, how is it now?

Chau Yun Phat is not only a screen legend but also a big personality symbol. At the age of seventy, despite owning tens of trillions of assets, "The Emperor" still chooses a popular lifestyle, rides the bus and is willing to donate his entire inheritance in exchange for serenity.

From the poor boy to the icon of Asian cinema

Chau Yun Phat was born in 1955 on Nam Nha Island, Hong Kong, to a poor working family. Few people suspect that, before standing at the peak of glory, he had to go through a difficult childhood, soon having to comb all kinds of jobs to support his family. From a camera salesman to a taxi driver, it was the years of rolling around in society that forged a Chau Yun Phat with a very unique insight and elegant demeanor.

The door to art only really opened in 1980 when TVB discovered the potential of this tall and photogenic boy. Immediately, the role of Hua Van Cuong in the Shanghai Bund created a real earthquake. With a white scarf and a poised demeanor, Chau Yun Phat not only became the dream lover of millions of young women but also officially entered the ranks of A-list stars, opening a glorious era of cinema in Huong Cang.

The acting monument makes the artists both respect and "terrified"

Chau Yun Phat's career after the Shanghai Bund is a long series of brilliant successes, making him a "monument" that any actor aspires to reach but at the same time feels pressure when standing next to him. In the Hong Kong film industry at that time, Chau Yun Phat was considered an "acting machine" capable of turning ordinary things into extraordinary. With Heroic Identity, he redefined the concept of "hero" on the big screen, turning the character of Lee A Bang into a legend of loyalty and masculine temperament.

The peak of fame must be mentioned the God of Cards series. The role of Cao Tien is not only a movie character, but has become a cultural phenomenon. The dark chocolate eating demeanor, magical card swaps and confidence to overwhelm the opponent have helped Chau Yun Phat dominate the box office for a long time. Not stopping at the domestic market, the actor surnamed Chau also affirmed his international class through works such as The Tiger Hidden Dragon by director Ly An – the film won an Oscar and brought his name to Hollywood. Throughout his career, he has twice received the Emperor Picture Award at the Golden Horse and three times crowned at the Golden Statue, the most prestigious awards that testify to his indisputable talent. His professionalism and introspection make many colleagues "terrified" because if they don't try their best, they will be completely obscured by his oversized shadow every time they appear in the same frame.

The moment of kneeling in front of the "stage lover" Tu Hieu Phung

Although he is a powerful star with the ultimate position, Chau Yun Phat is a serious person and always gives absolute respect to his predecessors. One of the "lifetime" moments that has been recalled by the press over the years is the fact that the actor did not hesitate to kneel on stage to express his admiration for the famous female singer Tu Xiao Phung. In the eyes of Hong Kong artists, Tu Xiao Phung is a "senior" with a special status, is the possessor of a charming deep voice and a beautiful personality.

Chau Yun Phat's act of kneeling is not self-deprecating, but a testament to the essence of a true artist: always grateful and admiring true artistic values. Many years later, Luu Duc Hoa also took the same action when singing a duet with her, showing Tu Xiao Phung's unshakable position in the hearts of artists. For Chau Yun Phat, kneeling in front of a woman of her stature is the highest expression of respect, a meaningful cultural gesture among top artists.

A childless marriage and the pain behind the refusal to be a father

Behind the brilliant aura, Chau Yun Phat's private life has sad low notes. He and his wife, Tran Hoi Lien, have been together for more than 30 years, a marriage that many people admire for their iron fidelity. However, they have no children. Few people know that, in 1991, his wife was pregnant with a girl, but a heartbreaking event occurred when the child died in the womb because of a corolla wrapped around her neck. The pain of losing her child caused Tran Hoi Lien to fall into a state of depression that lasted for 7 years.

Witnessing his wife's pain to the extreme, Chau Yun Phat made a tolerant decision: he did not want his wife to get pregnant again to avoid all health and mental risks. The actor once shared that he loves his wife more than anything, and whether he has children or not is not as important as the peace of his partner. This sacrifice of "Phat Ca" further thickens the public's admiration for him, not only as a talented actor but also as a rare exemplary husband in the entertainment industry full of market shenanigans.

The "poor billionaire" lifestyle and the decision to donate 16 trillion VND

At the age of 70, when owning a fortune of up to HKD 5.6 billion (more than 16 trillion VND), Chau Yun Phat chose for himself an "unexpectedly simple" life. The public often saw him wearing slippers, wearing casual T-shirts, traveling by subway or bus and eating at cheap sidewalk stalls. In particular, the story of how he used the first Nokia phone for 17 years and only refused to replace it when the device was completely broken has become a lesson in frugality and practicality in lifestyle.

The actor admitted that his monthly spending is only in the range of more than 100 USD (more than 2.4 million VND). For him, money is just something outside the body: "Money is not mine either. I'm just the one who keeps them. My dream since childhood is to live a normal and happy life." Because of that philosophy of life, Chau Yun Phat and his wife set up a charity fund and announced that they would donate all their assets to society after their death. This is a shocking decision, a testament to the enlightenment of the value of life, where giving is what lasts forever.
