Recently, Luong Gia Huy was honored as the Best Actor (Photo God) of the Hong Kong Film Awards (China) - Kim Tuong.
He is the only actor in the history of the Golden Statue award to win Best Actor over 5 different decades: At the age of 26, he won the award with "Thùy liêm thính chính" (1984), becoming the youngest Best Actor in history; then "92 Legendary La Rose Noire" (1992), "Xã hội đen" (2005) and "Hàn chiến" (2012); at the age of 68, Lương Gia Huy had his 5th trophy with "Bổ phong truy ảnh".
On stage, the actor burst into tears to thank his wife - Giang Gia Nien - who has accompanied him for decades, even during the darkest period of his career.
Giang Gia Nien is likened to a "lifebuoy" at every turning point of Luong Gia Huy's life.
After just winning the Golden Statue award for the first time, Luong Gia Huy was boycotted by Hong Kong (China) entertainment industry for going to mainland China to act in movies. From a promising 26-year-old star, he suddenly became unemployed, and no one dared to invite him to act in movies. To make ends meet, Luong Gia Huy had to go to the night market to sell goods.
In his most difficult time, Jiang Jianian appeared. At that time, she was a veteran producer of Hong Kong Radio and Television Station (China), with a stable career and good family background.
When the entire entertainment industry turned their backs on Luong Gia Huy, only she reached out to help, asking him to record a radio play. He remembered that kindness for the rest of his life.
Through contact, the two gradually developed feelings for each other. But when dating, Luong Gia Huy was so poor that even inviting his girlfriend for a cup of coffee had to be calculated. Later, he learned that the coffee shop they often went to was discounted because she had secretly paid 50%, helping her boyfriend maintain the self-esteem of a man.
In 1987, Luong Gia Huy saved 8,000 HKD, bought an 800 HKD ring, held a simple wedding, no lavish betrothal gifts, and just brought Giang Gia Nien to be his wife.
The couple's marriage story became legendary in 1993. While filming "The Lover", Luong Gia Huy was kidnapped by a gang and taken to the Philippines, forcing them to act in movies. Giang Gia Nien was also detained.
In the imminent dangerous situation, she was not panicked but calmly negotiated, requesting to meet the leader. She analyzed that the film being filmed is a large international project, if interrupted, it will be heavily damaged. It would be better for everyone to let him finish filming, create a buzz and then cooperate later.
No one expected that a woman who was pointed with a gun could convince the mafia. In the end, they were released. When he returned, Luong Gia Huy hugged his wife and sobbed. From then on, he understood that he owed this woman, and there was no way to pay it all.
After the upheaval, Luong Gia Huy's career exploded again. Thanks to diverse acting, his title of "A Thousand-Faced Film Emperor" is increasingly solid.
Giang Gia Nien retreated to the rear, taking care of his family. In 1993, they welcomed two twin daughters, a fulfilling married life.
Many years later, Giang Gia Nien got sick and had to take long-term medication, causing her appearance to change. Some media deliberately monitored and secretly photographed her, and then wrote malicious articles saying she was "not worthy of the Film Goddess".
Luong Gia Huy has repeatedly publicly affirmed that no woman is more beautiful than his wife. He calls her "the diamond woman" - will become even more precious and worthy of respect over time.
To make up for the simple wedding of the past, he promised that every 10 years he would re-organize the wedding and propose to Giang Gia Nien with a new ring, and he has kept that promise for decades.
