Lee Yiu Tuong: From TVB's "green leaf" to 3 times crowned Best Actor, now a street vendor?

In the Hong Kong entertainment industry, the name Lee Yiu Cheung has always been a guarantee of acting talent. With three consecutive "Best Actor" awards, he has left a deep impression on the audience as a talented, versatile and versatile actor.

The persistent "green leaf" guy: The quiet years of conquering acting

Born on May 4, 1964, Lee Yiu Cheung entered the Hong Kong entertainment industry in 1985, when he joined TVB 's Actor Training Class. Unlike many of his peers who quickly rose to fame with leading roles, Yiu Cheung has had a long and quiet journey as a "green leaf" - familiar supporting actors who rarely get to stand in the center.

During the first two decades of his career, the actor participated in countless television dramas, from historical to modern, from comedy to tragedy. Even though they were only small supporting roles, he always showed absolute seriousness and dedication, constantly learning, observing and improving his acting skills.

But it was this persistent "green leaf" period that forged for Le Dieu Tuong a solid acting foundation, a deep understanding of the profession and the ability to transform diversely, which later helped him reap resounding success.

Lee’s perseverance is an inspiring story. He never gave up or complained about not being cast in a leading role. Instead, he focused on doing his best with every character he took on, big or small. This dedication has built a solid reputation in the industry, making him one of the most beloved “kings of supporting roles.”

Reaching the level of "Best Actor": The pinnacle of glory and memorable roles

After nearly two decades of working hard in supporting roles, Wayne Lai's talent was finally rewarded. In 2009, he had a spectacular breakthrough with the role of Sai Cuu in the film "Rosy Business".

Lee Yiu Cheung's top-notch performance made the audience take their hats off in admiration, and this role brought him his first Best Actor (TV King) award in his career at the TVB Annual Awards.

This victory marked the beginning of an unprecedented series of glory. Just one year later, in 2010, Wayne Lai continued to win the TV King Award for the second consecutive time for his role as Liu Xing in the sequel to "Rosy Business", "No Regrets". This was an unprecedented achievement in TVB history, affirming his unique position in the hearts of the public and professionals.

In 2012, Wayne Lai once again set a record when he won the TV King Award for the third time for his role as Lee Lien Anh in the film "The Confidant". With three times winning the highest title, the actor has become one of the greatest "TV Kings" of the station, on par with other legendary names.

The never-ending journey of art: After the golden age of TVB

After his peak with prestigious awards, Lee's career continued despite many changes in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. TVB faced fierce competition from online platforms and the mainland market. Many veteran actors chose to leave the station to seek new opportunities, or turn to the mainland Chinese market with more attractive salaries.

Lee Yiu Cheung is no exception. He continues to participate in TVB film projects, but at the same time, he has also expanded his activities to mainland China. Although he no longer appears on screen as frequently as before, the name and class of actor Lee are still widely recognized by the audience, and he is one of the most sought-after actors, although he is no longer at the peak of global fame like in the "Rosy Business" era.

Sidewalk Surprise: The Truth Behind the Rumors of "Street Vendors for a Living"

Recently, images circulating on social media show a simple Le Dieu Tuong, wearing a hat, standing next to a street vendor on the sidewalk, at first glance making many people think that he had to switch to a difficult job to make a living. Rumors about "The fallen King has to sell street goods" quickly exploded, causing much regret and sympathy in the public's hearts.

However, the truth behind these images has been made clear by mainstream media. This is not a sign of financial ruin or that he has to make a living as a street vendor. Instead, these moments often appear in many different contexts.

Typically, participating in promotional events/reality shows, especially programs that are daily and close to the public. Second, supporting friends/relatives because some sources said that Le Dieu Tuong may have visited and helped them with their small businesses.

Finally, showing closeness to the audience: In the context of the entertainment industry increasingly focusing on authenticity and connecting with the public, a famous actor appearing in ordinary places and participating in everyday activities is also a way to build a close image, not afraid of difficulties.

In fact, according to financial reports and information from close friends, Le Dieu Tuong currently has a stable life. He still receives invitations to act in movies, attend events and has his own investments. The image of "street vendor" is just a small moment that is cu.t out and sometimes exaggerated, causing misunderstanding about his real situation.

From Screen to Life: Lessons on Adaptation and the Value of Labor

Whatever the reason, the image of Le Dieu Tuong, a simple man on the sidewalk, still has a special meaning. It not only shows the modesty and unafraidness of an artist who once stood at the pinnacle of glory, but also demonstrates the spirit of true work. In a volatile industry like entertainment, the ability to adapt and appreciate the value of all types of work is extremely important.

Despite being a "King of the Show", Wayne Lai is still willing to participate in the most "ordinary" activities, which further strengthens the affection and respect that the audience has for him. He is not only a talented actor on screen but also a lovable person in real life, always maintaining his simplicity and spirit of constant dedication.
