Preface
Guan Shuyi was the original singer of "Rare Lover", this song made her the "queen of songs" for a while, as famous as Faye Wong, and was known as the queen. But she chose to have a child out of wedlock with the "Living Buddha", and netizens joked that if Faye Wong is a god, then Guan Shuyi is a demon. Her charisma may be different, but her life choices have sparked a lot of discussion. Now, people can't help but wonder, does Guan Shuyi regret her decision, and what has she experienced?
Powerful singer debuted
Guan Shuyi resolutely decided to participate in the "Rookie Singing Contest" because her sister wanted signed photos of Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui. Without any training, with her talented and good voice, the fledgling Guan Shuyi amazed everyone. At that time, the competition was full of talents, and Liming, Xu Zhian, Wen Peiling and others all emerged on this stage and became important figures in the entertainment industry later.
Despite this, Kwan Shuyi's original intention was very clear, she did not plan to make a real debut, and decisively withdrew from the competition after receiving an autograph in the semifinals. It was a regrettable decision, but Kwan was unwavering in her attitude and chose to give up the opportunity in front of her to devote herself to studying fashion design, hoping to become a member of the fashion industry. However, to Kwan Shuyi's disappointment, she found that her interest in costume design was limited to purchasing, and her true passion was still in singing.
So, Kwan Shuyi resolutely signed up for the "Blue Coast Singing Competition" in Tokyo and won the championship with an amazing performance. Perhaps because her career is going well, Guan Shuyi has always maintained her wayward style. Her debut album "Winter Love" swept the streets and won the Best Newcomer Award. Guan Shuyi and Faye Wong debuted in the same year, and when they first debuted, their popularity and popularity were comparable, and the two competed fiercely in terms of musical strength.
In 1989, Guan Shuyi and Faye Wong debuted at the same time, and the English names of both artists were "Shirley", which is a significant coincidence. At that time, they were very popular and popular, especially in terms of musical prowess. Guan Shuyi quickly won many fans with her pure and sweet appearance and excellent singing skills. Her songs are well loved, they become famous in one fell swoop, they are widely recognized, and the future is promising. Faye Wong is also in the limelight. Her unique style and performing talent made her the focus of the music scene at the time.
The career is ruined, and the living Buddha is born
This forbidden love story shocked the entire Hong Kong and even the Chinese entertainment industry. Guan Shuyi met a living Buddha at a religious event. They fell in love at first sight and embarked on a journey of love! After this relationship was exposed, it attracted widespread public attention and discussion. Everyone criticized Guan Shuyi, accusing her of being rich and not being looked down upon, thinking that she was for money, and some people thought that she really liked the living Buddha.
What's even more surprising is that it didn't take long for Guan Shuyi to give birth to a child with the Living Buddha! This news has set off huge waves in the entertainment industry and has become a hot topic after dinner. This event subverted people's traditional notions, and it was indeed an unprecedented event for the Buddhist community to have an illegitimate child. Kwan Shuyi's decision has undoubtedly had a huge impact on her career.
For whatever reason, the couple, who come from a Buddhist family, usually kept a low profile, but they were met with numerous ridicule and accusations at the time. Some people assert that Kwan Shuyi's career has been ruined and cannot be recovered. Kwan Shuyi left the music scene at a young age and went to Canada to join a record label, which was very unhappy because of her unexpected pregnancy. Kwan Shuyi was angry and broke off her contract with the record company.
She traveled to North America to give birth to her son, Kwan Junxian, but for a long time she refused to reveal who her son's father was. It wasn't until 2012 that Guan Shuyi suddenly revealed the truth of the matter to everyone on her private homepage: it turned out that the biological father of Guan Shuyi's 12-year-old son was a living Buddha from Bhutan. However, the living Buddha has never spoken to his son on the phone for 12 years, and has always been indifferent. What's even more regrettable is that due to raising her children alone, Guan Shuyi has gradually been forgotten by the audience over the years.
The status quo
She was once reduced to a poor person sleeping on the streets, lost her financial resources, and endured the eyes and cynicism of the world in her lonely and unknown days. However, only the innocent maternal love for her son became the only light in her heart. The peak time that will never return, like a heavy slap, brutally destroyed this single mother who was suffering physically and mentally. On April 5, 2020, Guan Shuyi announced her permanent retirement from the entertainment industry and said that she "will not blame anyone".
This seemingly regrettable decision is actually a new starting point in her life. Since then, she has devoted herself wholeheartedly to raising her children. The past is as ethereal as a cloud of smoke, and she is no longer the idol who is surrounded by thousands of cheers, but an ordinary, plain and simple ordinary mother. After quitting the entertainment industry, Guan Shuyi did not choose to make a comeback, but chose a low-key lifestyle.
When asked if she would reappear, she replied firmly, which is undoubtedly very regrettable. When asked why she left the entertainment industry, she admitted that it was because of her dissatisfaction with the brokerage company and the bottleneck of her career development, and she felt that there was no room for continued development. This choice is undoubtedly very regrettable. Kwan Shuyi has been through a period of lows, but perhaps it is this experience that has made her stronger.
As a single mother, she had to learn to be self-reliant and work tirelessly for her children's future. She was even revealed to be in a relationship with a male anchor who was 23 years younger than her, supposedly for living expenses. This sister-brother relationship ended quickly, and it seems that the other party just took a fancy to her wealth. These setbacks didn't make her give up, and she was always looking for an opportunity to get back on her feet. Now, after many years away from the music industry, she lives an ordinary life, but she is still strong to face the challenges of life.
epilogue
Kwan Shuk-yee was once a shining star in the Hong Kong music scene, and her musical talent and beauty have been remembered. However, the forbidden love affair with the "Living Buddha" and the ensuing single-parent parenting life plunged her into poverty and embarrassment. Today, Guan Shuyi lives a low-key life, and did not choose to return to the entertainment industry, but silently faced the challenges in life.
She was burdened with financial constraints and loneliness raising her children, and no one could truly understand her heart and situation. Despite her glorious past, she is still strong and determined. Perhaps this is another test in life, a challenge that she can face calmly. No matter how the outside world looks at her, she is still the same person she once was, with the traces of time, and still sticking to her inner beliefs and responsibilities.
