Tran Tu Qi is one of the beauties who are actively promoted after the beauty contest. Just because of 1 wrong decision, she sacrificed her whole career, having to sell chicken legs to make a living.

Tran Tu Qi, also known by the stage name Tran Khai Di, was born in 1982 in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, China. In 2000, she enrolled in the Miss Hong Kong pageant. During the contest, the beauty was highly appreciated by the media and considered a bright candidate, expecting to reach the Top 3.

After that, Chen Tu Qi won the awar.d of Perfect Ski.n in the semi-finals and reached the Top 12 in the final. Possessing a beautiful face and a bright smile, she is compared to Chu Linh Linh - Miss Hong Kong in 1977, one of the famous beauties of the land of Hong Kong.

Like many other contestants, after the contest, Tran Tu Qi became an actor of TVB television. During her time working here, she participated in many TV series including Can't Buy Me Love, Just Love II, E.U., Sweetness In The Salt (Deep Salt Salt), The Gem Of Life (Married Rich), Legend of the Demigods (Legend of the Miracle)... but all supporting roles, most of them are slave roles.

A few years later, Tran Tu Qi seemed to be absent from television and reappeared in March 2013 in the movie "Decoding the Human Heart" part 2. It is worth mentioning that her appearance is completely different, making many people no longer recognize. The angular face became stereotypical with a sharp and stiff chin due to an overdose of botox injections.

From a name that is not very noticeable, the botox injection scanda.l to the point of facial deformation has helped Chen Tu Qi become famous. She is also not afraid to hide photos that record her "slappin.g" process. In an interview, the actress said that in July 2012, she accepted to be a spokesperson for a plastic surgery center and agreed to let doctors intervene on her face. Specifically, botox injections into the nose and chin. The entire process is recorded by camera.

However, Tran Tu Qi's beauty improvement did not bring satisfactory results when many opinions said that her face was stiff, insensitive and much older than before. "It's horrible"; "I'm sorry"; "She's so much prettier without botox" ... netizens commented.

In response to the malicious comments, the actress showed no interest, saying that many women asked her for a beauty restoration after seeing her appearance. Among them, there are colleagues whose names she does not want to reveal to the press.

Chen Tu Qi further explained that the effects of botox are gone. She has been injected since she joined the crew of "Decoding the Human Heart" part 2, so the face on the movie is somewhat swollen like that. The actress affirmed that her face has returned to normal after 1 year.

"I only did it once last year as a representative of the beauty center. In fact, the effects of botox have also disappeared. Maybe because I haven't appeared much lately, you don't see me often. I don't inject botox because of my beauty, but because of my duty, so I want to try it," she said.

From a person with a beautiful face and a tall physique, just because of a wrong decision, Chen Tu Qi turned himself into a version that no one wanted to look at. She is also not appreciated in terms of acting, all roles are said to be faint among the famous cast.

Because of that, Tran Tu Qi has many difficulties in living because his income is too low and precarious. After 12 years of dedication, she decided to leave TVB and go to HKTV to develop her career. However, HKTV could not get an operating license, so the actress had to retire from the entertainment industry.

At the beginning after retiring, Chen Tu Qi participated in a physical therapy course and became a masseuse. From an actress to a service worker, she said that she feels no problem: "I often tell people that I am a masseuse, using aromatherapy to help customers relieve pressure and stress after a busy day.

I only accept female customers, every day I receive very few customers, because 'quality is more important than quantity'. An actor or psychotherapist is just a job, just like a bus clerk or a salesman. I also don't think actors are a different class than massage workers."

Tran Tu Qi said that choosing this profession came from seeing his mother in pai.n due to old ag.e. She learned massage and reflexology to help her relieve her pai.n. Before becoming a masseuse, the beauty used to open a coffee shop and sell flavorings.

When asked about income, Tran Tu Qi said that she earns more than when she was filming. However, in the years that followed, her life became more and more difficult. Recently, Tu Qi was caught selling chicken legs at a night market in Foshan City, China.

She also filmed a video talking about the difficulties of the acting profession and said that during her time working at TVB, she was always worried about her ag.e. "I'm often worried about getting fired, and actresses are often quick to be told they're too old. Faced with a stalemate at work and unable to get married at the ag.e of 30, I decided to leave the entertainment industry and try other development directions," Tran Tu Qi shared.

"But things are not as simple as I thought. This society is too cruel. I tell people that I know acting. I used to compete in Miss Hong Kong. But the title in the Miss Hong Kong contest and acting experience could not help me find a good job. Now I go to Foshan too. Nothing in life is impossible to do. After careful consideration, I decided to come and set up a stall to sell chicken legs with everyone!" the actress said.

When asked if he was afraid of people laughing at him for "going out to make a living" and "at this ag.e he still can't get married", Tran Tu Ky calmly said: "Everyone can say whatever they want. Anyway, I have to keep living." Not only the beauty surnamed Tran, many other Hong Kong actors are in a similar situation. They have to look for side jobs to make ends meet because the film industry is so precarious.
