Ly Tu Ky: "Ma Ha" missed the boat twice, U80 lived like a queen but lonely

Actor Ly Tu Ky is one of the familiar faces of Hong Kong's small screen from the early 1970s to the present. At the peak of her career, she was named one of the "Four Great Flowers". Contrary to her successful career and brilliant success, her love life encountered many obstacles.

Who is "Ma Ha" Ly Tu Ky?

Ly Tu Ky was born in 1950, real name is Ly Dung. At the age of 18, she participated in the Miss Hong Kong pageant and received the w.inning crown. Thanks to this outstanding achievement and top-notch beauty, she received many invitations to join the entertainment industry. Initially, Miss Hong Kong did not choose an acting career but took on behind-the-scenes work. It was not until 1969 that she officially followed the acting career.

As one of the most beautiful girls at that time, of course Ly Tu Ky also received the favor of the new company. Along with Uong Minh Thuyen, Huynh Thuc Nghi and Trieu Nha Chi, Ly Tu Ky is also considered as one of the 4 most expensive female stars of TVB in the 70s and 80s of the last century. In her youth, she appeared in many cult films such as Thu Kiem An Cuu Luc, Tieu Thap Nhat Lang, So Luu Huong, Nghia Ngang Tinh Tham...

Thinking that his career would always be so smooth, no one expected that in 1999, Ly Tu Ky was found to have an incurable disease, and his health declined seriously. Therefore, for the next 9 years, she almost disappeared from the entertainment industry, causing people to worry.

It was not until 2007 that Ly Tu Ky re-appeared with Song Gio Gia Toc and then became the Queen of TVB. After that, she appeared in The Power of Friendship as Ma Ha and continued to receive enthusiastic support from the television audience. Also thanks to her tireless dedication to the station, in 2010, she was awarded the Grand Prize.

However, in 2015, Ly Tu Ky officially left TVB after 27 years of dedication to the station. Sharing about her departure, she confided: "I'm old, my fitness doesn't allow me to work day and night anymore. So I went out to see if there were any new roles, instead of just h.anging around. in the kitchen of the TVB drama. I am sure, Ly Tu Ky is not retiring, but just wants to change the working environment."

Occasionally, this veteran actress only accepts a few small roles in big movie projects to help her remember her job, the rest of the time is used by her to take care of herself and enjoy a leisurely life in her old age.

Unlucky love

Such a fulfilling career, but Ly Tu Ky's love path is extremely difficult. At the age of 20, Ly Tu Ky, who had just entered the entertainment industry not long ago, accepted to marry her first husband, forensic doctor Diep Chi Bang. 3 years later, she gave birth to her first daughter, Diep Tu Thanh.

Talking about her decision to get married early, she said: "Family is always my top priority. I think whether you are Eastern or Western, famous or unknown, family is ultimately family. moreover, the older I get, the more I realize that people don't need to have too much m.oney to live."

Hoping that her family life could be better, she chose to immigrate to Canada so that she could then go through the process of sponsoring her husband and daughter. Unexpectedly in Hong Kong, her husband secretly met another woman.

Ly Tu Ky sadly filed for divorce, but the most painful thing was: "When we broke up, my unfaithful husband told me: "I never loved you." The 18-year marriage ended bitterly in 1989. .

In 1992, Ly Tu Ky remarried to Ha Vi Cuong. Unlike the first marriage, the second husband loved her dearly, but in the end, both of them could not avoid breaking up. According to Ly Tu Ky, she remarried because she wanted to have a partner to live with, but her daily routine was really different: "My husband only knows how to bring m.oney home, then he goes to Macau with his friends. play all night. His life has no wife. I always try to hold on to this marriage in tears."

After many years, still unable to hold onto the other half's heart, Ly Tu Ky decided to "go their separate ways" in 1999.

Twice the marriage broke down, the daughter is not close to her mother and settled abroad, so Ly Tu Ky chose to live a single old age life. It sounds sad, but for a successful "power woman" like TVB Queen, this is not a big deal.

Looking back on the past, she said: "Many years ago, when I received a lot of attention through the movie "Wind House", some newspapers had the front page headlines calling me an unhappy actress. In fact, it's not wrong to call them that in Hong Kong.

Think about it, is there any actor who is as bad as me: life near 70 years old, twice broken marriage, has only one c.hild, but because of misunderstanding, he does not see his face. Moreover, I myself have uterine cancer leading to sequelae of broken bones, the doctor diagnosed that I might be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life...

I remember very clearly the time when I was diagnosed with cancer, going to the filming location in the morning, and going to the hospital to do electrical work in the evening. Some people in the film crew discovered that I was sick, and I tried to lie to them because I was on a weight loss regimen.

There are times when I wonder why God has given me such an unusual fate. Why are there so many people who are not famous, not rich, but their lives are very simple. And I tried to think of an answer to comfort myself. Maybe it's because I'm famous, my rich life probably has to take away many other things from me to be called fair?'.

It is known that in addition to filming and advertising, she also invests in real estate and is an underground giant of Hong Kong.

Possessing a huge fortune, Ly Tu Ky decided to buy a villa in the mainland to retire. This villa is 370m2 wide and costs 3 billion VND just to decorate the house in a rural style. No matter what, she is also comfortable taking care of and shopping for herself, just like a real queen.

Looking at the latest images of "the most billion" TVB for a while, many of you like me may find it hard to believe that she is 72 years old. Although the road of love and friendship is difficult, in return, she always knows how to enjoy life and find new joys for herself.
