When mentioning Truong Ba Chi, the public often pays attention to her emotional scandals or family upheavals. However, amidst the changing world, Chau Tinh Tri still holds a special position in the actress's life. At the age of 64, the legendary director lives single, without children, but the half-life friendship with Truong Ba Chi is still a profound spiritual support for both.
Their fate began with the movie "Comedy King". At that time, Cecilia Cheung was only 18 years old, completely inexperienced in acting. Despite the skepticism of the crew, Stephen Chow still resolutely chose her for the female lead role Lieu Phi Phi. The patient guidance of each facial expression and gesture of the difficult director helped Cecilia Cheung win the Best New Actress award at the Golden Statue Film Festival, officially opening a brilliant artistic journey.
Appreciating that kindness, Truong Ba Chi always finds ways to reciprocate to the "music tycoon" of her life. Despite being entangled in an advertising contract that could not shave her head to play the main role in "Shaolin Soccer", she still decided to accept the invitation to be a guest without remuneration. Conversely, Chau Tinh Tri is also a solid support for the star of the Truong family. At the time she was involved in a hot photo incident and was turned away by public opinion, Chau Tinh Tri still secretly helped, completely not taking advantage of the media to speak out or avoid her former student.
For many years, although rarely appearing together and repeatedly involved in rumors of breakups, the two have never criticized each other. The Hong Kong (China) comedy king, who is inherently withdrawn, is willing to film cheering videos when the actress participates in reality shows. In response, Cecilia Cheung also regularly covers theaters to support new films and sends birthday wishes to him for many years.
At the age of 64, Stephen Chow chose a simple life, wholeheartedly dedicated to art. Although public opinion has repeatedly speculated about a romantic love story, their nearly 3-decade-long bond has proven that this is a soulmate relationship that supports each other through ups and downs, more precious than any short-term bond.
