Hong Kong veteran artist Charlie Cao celebrated his 72nd birthday in mid-August, and although he was childless and divorced, he still had relatives and friends around him who remembered him and would celebrate his birthday. Cao Charlie's niece went up to the mountain shi na, so coincidentally it was also in August birthday, so when the shangshan shi na celebrated the birthday, he did not forget to bring Cao Charlie, so there was a picture of the uncle and nephew celebrating the birthday together. Cao Charlie, who has been quite low-key in recent years, rarely shows his face, only to see that he is wearing a pink shirt, looking energetic, it seems that his life is still very moist, and the most important thing is that he looks healthy, which is the most reassuring.
Charlie Cao probably faded out of the Hong Kong film and television circle around 2003, of course, he only faded out of the film and television circle, and did not withdraw from the circle. In fact, after fading out of the film and television circle, he has been active in the mainland and overseas markets, mainly on stage and commercial performances, which will leave people with an illusion, he retired early. Looking back, Charlie Cao could not have retired so early, after all, he still had to earn living expenses in his old age, and he was only 54 years old when he faded out in 2003, and Charlie Cao's life at that time was not good, so he had no reason to quit the circle, which is the truth.
Charlie Cao is a well-known supporting role in Hong Kong, active in the 80s, 90s of the Hong Kong film and television circle, he has never been the protagonist, but deeply loved by the audience, because he is mostly in the film and television drama is starred in some small characters, such as untouchables, hooligans, villains, etc., the important thing is that he can play the essence of these small characters quite well, let people into the play, coupled with the prevalence of the Wind Moon movie at that time, he did not mind starring, but also made his popularity greatly increased, when he and Ye Yuqing starred in the "Qing" style trilogy was a great success, Later, in Stephen Chow's movie, the line that said "obscene cannot be moved" was enshrined as a classic, so Cao Charlie made a lot of money while earning fame.
Although Charlie Cao was not the protagonist in that era, he encountered a good era of rapid development of movies, and he could earn at least 180,000 yuan every day by performing in a drama set, and when he was prolific, he could shoot 40 works in two years. Later, he also did not shy away from saying that he could buy a house a day in the mainland at his peak with a daily salary, which was not an exaggeration, but highlighted his wealth. However, Cao Charlie and many Hong Kong people, with money will become ethereal, the money as an investment in various aspects, especially in finance, or spend money like dirt, live a luxurious life, the result of the financial storm in 1997 appeared, Cao Charlie a clear bag, because the stock speculation is too much, almost ruined, the most tragic thing is that the Hong Kong film industry in the mid-to-late 90s has gone downhill, Cao Charlie's life after the bad, no drama, and no savings, faded out of the film and television circle is not because of retirement, It was a last resort.
After fading out of the film and television circle, Charlie Cao began a 16-year career on stage, opening a new door for his "second spring". Cao Charlie has always been very resistant to performing on stage, he thinks that people without money will go on stage, when he made a lot of money in the 90s, he did not bother to take the stage at all, after the collapse of the family, he also insisted on not taking the stage for a while, and also counted on making a comeback by making movies, until he later recognized the reality and had to go to the mainland to take the stage. The result is 16 years, from which he has earned too many benefits, easy work, easy money, not only in the mainland, but also in the United States and Canada, all thanks to his establishment of fame in the 80s and 90s, making him very popular, and over the years, he has earned at least 8 figures, enough for the rest of his life.
Cao Charlie is now alone, has no children, divorced, he does not spend much on life alone, and has not stopped, not to make more money, but always need to find something to pass the time, in fact, in the second half of 2020 he has been active in the mainland market. Of course, because Cao Charlie is mainly on stage and does not make movies, this will have the illusion of his retirement, in fact, on the days when he does not have to work, he is almost reclusive, especially in Hong Kong, he does not often show his face, naturally it is not concerned.
Fortunately, The Cao Charlie family are celebrities and stars, the nephew is Zhang Zhilin, the niece is Shangshan Shina, these two are quite outstanding people, as long as the birthday celebration and party do not forget to invite Cao Charlie to appear on camera, this has also become an opportunity for Cao Charlie to show his face. In recent days, Because of the relationship between Cao Charlie's 72nd birthday, he celebrated with Shangshan Shina, and it was rare to show his face again.
Cao Charlie's niece Shangshan Shina is a Hong Kong celebrity, active in Hong Kong celebrity social occasions, every year before and after her birthday, she will always be busy with different friends, relatives to celebrate the birthday, and Cao Charlie's birthday is also in August, so Shangshan Shina always does not forget to invite Cao Charlie to celebrate the birthday, it is also very filial piety. Shangshan Shina recently posted a photo of celebrating his birthday with Cao Charlie, the uncle and nephew stood in the middle, holding a small cake together, so coincidentally both of them put on red clothes, of which Cao Charlie put on a pink T-shirt with a pair of jeans, looking very young, energetic, and smiling he looks very kind, the old atmosphere has disappeared, the mental outlook and temperament are completely different from before.
