Chan Wai Man: "Underworld boss" becomes martial arts star, helps Carina Lau demand 18+ photos

Chan Wai Man is not only known as a famous martial arts icon but also a name that everyone feared at one time. He was also the person who spent 3 hours rescuing Tony Leung's wife from a shocking arrest.

With her amazing ability to play roles, especially gangster characters, Chan Wai Man has left a deep impression on the audience. During her 46 years of artistic activities, the veteran star has participated in more than 10 movies and 9 TV series. But behind the silver screen's halo, few people know that Chan Wai Man also has another, more surprising identity: a real boss who once held the power of life and deat.h in the Tsim Sha Tsui area - the most bustling center of Hong Kong at one time.

Tran Hue Man was born in 1944 into a family that was not very happy. His father was a sailor, often away from home, leaving his mother to take care of her young son alone in a time of social turmoil. Although material conditions were not too lacking thanks to his father's work, Tran Hue Man's childhood lacked education and guidance.

Living in a harsh street environment, he was soon drawn into the vortex of youth gangs. At the ag.e of 17, while his peers were still absorbed in books, Chan Hui Min spent most of his time in fights. Fortunately, Hui Min possessed a natural advantage: martial arts talent (learned through Nam Quyen and boxing), so hand-to-hand combat not only helped him stand firm on the edge of life and deat.h but also tempered his courage, opening up a dramatic path for his life later on.

Realizing that being a good fighter was not enough, Tran Hue Man decided to find a new path. He applied to the police academy and was assigned to be a prison warden. It was here that he began to build his first relationships with gangsters.

With his ingenuity and flexible nature, Tran Hue Man quickly caught the attention of his colleagues and the "big guys" behind bars. However, his past mistakes prevented him from advancing in the police force. Faced with suspicion from his superiors and the limits of the righteous path, he decided to give up his uniform and return to the underworld - where he believed he belonged.

This return is not like the days of wandering aimlessly. At the ag.e of 25, Chan has matured and understands that real power is the key to survival. Thanks to his connections from his time as a prison guard, he was introduced to work as a bodyguard for a notorious figure: the drug dealer "Phi Tu Con" - who is said to be the prototype of the role of "Phi Tu Sieu" in the classic film "To Be Number One".

Under Fei Zi Kun's command, Chan Wai Man quickly asserted his position. The clima.x was when he helped Fei Zi Kun escape the pursuit of 4 assassins, Hui Man single-handedly defeated the enemy, protecting the safety of the "big boss". From then on, his name resounded throughout the Hong Kong underworld.

Chan was later given the title of "Song Hoa Hong Kun" - the highest title in the 14K gang hierarchy, a symbol of authority and absolute respect. Not stopping at the underground world, he also affirmed his reputation through public martial arts tournaments when he continuously won the Southeast Asian boxing championship in 1971 and 1972, even knocking out a Japanese boxer in less than a minute.

The Chinese martial arts community praised him as "The God of Fist", and compared him to: "Fist has Chan Wai-min, kick has Bruce Lee". In 1983, Chan Wai-min was nominated for "Best Actor" at the second Kong Kong Film Awards for his role in the movie "The Love Affair". It was an important milestone not only because of the prestigious awar.d, but also because it marked the moment Chan Wai-min escaped the shadow of "only knowing how to fight", becoming a talented actor recognized by professionals.

After the Golden Statue, his film career seemed to have entered a new phase, with heavy roles and collaborations with top stars. But every peak comes with risks. A gift from the Yamaguchi-gumi - a handgun - accidentally landed him in trouble with the law when he was accuse.d of illegal possession of weapons.

In that moment of crisis, Tran Hue Man's fiancée, Ngo Quoc Anh, took the blame for him, saving him from a more severe sentence and saving him from a few months in prison. Her sacrifice not only saved him from prison but also gave him the impetus to decide to leave the underworld.

But if it was just martial arts, Chan Wai Man probably wouldn't have become such a "heavyweight" name in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. What makes him special is his quiet yet influential position - like an umbrella protecting countless artists during a time when the underworld infiltrated every corner of showbiz.

On April 26, 1990, Carina Lau was arrested by a gang of gangsters while returning home from a movie shoo.t. The incident shocked the public, not only because of the star’s reputation but also because of the brutality of the event. According to later reports, she was held for about three hours, forced to take sensitive photos, and subjected to severe threats before being released.

With his position in the underworld, Chan Wai Man came forward to negotiate with those behind the arrest of Carina Lau, and used his influence to force the perpetrators to hand over the sensitive photos in their possession. After retrieving the photos, he personally gave them to Tony Leung Chiu Wai - Carina Lau's lover at that time.

In addition, there is also information that Chan Wai Man once represented Andy Lau to resolve conflicts related to the underworld. Not stopping there, he also helped many disadvantaged actors, demanding their wages back. In particular, his deep relationship with Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Eric Tsang... has made Chan Wai Man's name always mentioned with respect.

In a rare interview in recent years, the martial arts star did not shy away from his past as a famous "underworld boss". He mentioned his days of struggling in the underworld in a calm tone, but hidden within it was a layer of very profound contemplation.

In 2008, Chan Hui Min and his friends bought two vineyards in Australia and established their own wine brand. People were surprised to see the "big brother" of the past now talking about flavors, grape varieties, and winemaking techniques, his eyes shining as if he were talking about tactics in the ring.
