Trinh Phoi Phoi - One billion martial arts movies: Tragic life living at the temple door, divorced, bankrupt but still happy

Even though her marriage broke up midway, in return all four of her children are talented and dutiful to their mother. It can be said that the veteran female artist's current life is extremely fulfilling.

When mentioning Trinh Phoi Phoi, perhaps no one can forget the delicate and sweet beauty of the actress who once made Hong Kong cinema a sensation.

Choosing to get married and settle in the US while standing at the peak of fame, but after 20 years, Trinh Phoi Phoi left with nothing, struggling to raise four children, only now is she fully enjoying joy. in old age.

Trinh Phoi Phoi is the No. 1 star in many classic martial arts television blockbusters of Hong Kong cinema, successfully building the image of a pure and graceful woman in the eyes of the public. However, contrary to the glamor on screen, the legendary actress's life experienced many tragedies.

Leaving the spotlight while his career flourished

Trinh Pei Pei was born in 1946 in Shanghai. At the age of 15, the actress was sent by her family to Hong Kong to continue her education. While going to see the graduation play of the young actors, because he loved it so much and wanted to have fun, Phoi Phoi started attending a South Quoc cinema training class. After graduating, she signed with Shaw Brothers. Possessing a good-looking face with big, round, attractive eyes, a high nose bridge and available talent, it is not difficult for Phoi Phoi to make a mark in the hearts of the audience.

In 1966, she first played the main role in the new martial arts work Drunkard directed by Hu Jintao. This was followed by a series of films such as Kim Yen Tu, Dai Tuu Gia, Five Tigers and Dragons, Dai Thuat Hiep, Female General of the Yangmen, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon... which helped Trinh Phoi Phoi establish her position as a woman. , became an A-list star in the entertainment industry at that time.

However, when she was most advanced in her career, in 1971 she decided to marry the son of a Shaw studio representative and announced her withdrawal from the film industry, moving with her husband to the United States. She shared: "I think for our generation, marriage is the final destination and that is a girl's happy ending."

Divorce and bankruptcy

As a quite strong and independent woman, after getting married she and her husband started a business. "I was so busy when I was pregnant. I never rested, I was in charge of the house, the store and the TV show Pepe Time," Trinh Phoi Phoi shared. Perhaps it was her independent and somewhat masculine personality that caused the happy family she built to fall apart: "I'm not a gentle woman, I'm too strong. Women shouldn't be too strong but should be weak." I'm weaker, I think, but I can't do it."

Not stopping there, after ending her married life and raising 3 daughters and 1 son, Phoi Phoi also lost a large sum of money of 100,000 USD for the Pepe Times program, which made her want to collapse. Facing a difficult life after going bankrupt, with the help of Master Xingyun, she went to a Hong Kong Buddhist temple to live, starting over everything from scratch. Looking back on those two years, Trinh Phoi Phoi said she felt very satisfied: "It can be said that those were the two most stable years in my heart."

At 40 years old, returning to acting was quite a big obstacle, but with the help of friends and colleagues, Phoi Phoi quickly caught up with work. In 1993, her role as "Mrs. Hua" in Duong Ba Ho Diem Thu Huong was extremely loved by the audience, becoming a stepping stone to help her regain her glory.

Success followed success, in 2001 she won the Best Supporting Actress award at the Hong Kong Film Awards in the role of "Bloody Fox" in the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and competed for the Oscar. In 2014, Trinh Phoi Phoi participated in the reality show Hoa with Teens as the "big sister" of the team. Her intelligence and positive energy helped her receive a lot of love from both the audience and the members of the troupe.

Simple happiness with 4 children

Those who have followed and accompanied Trinh Phoi Phoi throughout the ups and downs up to now all give her respect and admiration. Not everyone is strong and brave enough like her, in a poor situation, leaving with nothing, taking care of 4 children who have all grown up and achieved certain success.

Zheng Pei Pei's eldest daughter Li Qi is an actress, working with Dawn, Zhang Ziyi... and also won the Hong Kong Film Awards' Best Newcomer Award. Second daughter Yuan Hezhen does not work in the entertainment industry and rarely appears in public. Son Yuanhe is an athlete and host of several national geographical documentaries. He once teamed up with three sisters to play the show's Second Season and win the championship.

Nguyen Tu Tue's daughter is active in the entertainment industry and was runner-up in Hong Kong in 1999 and is also married.

After bravely facing the ups and downs of life, there was a moment of complete peace for Trinh Phoi Phoi. Looking at the bright smiles, warm family love in the shared photos, I can fully understand the happiness that the veteran actress once struggled to achieve.

In recent years, at the age of 70, Trinh Phoi Phoi still appears in a number of martial arts or action movies as a guest, proving that she still has a certain influence on the screen.
