Editing|Resourceful and stir-fry entertainment
You may have heard of him as an "award-winning person", or you may know that he is a "big man" in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, but do you really know Zeng Zhiwei? How did he grow from a football boy to a figure in the film and television industry? What ups and downs did his married life go through? Let's unravel the mystery of this legend.
From a football teenager to a rookie in the entertainment industry
In 1953, Zeng Zhiwei was born in Hong Kong to a wealthy family. His father, Tsang Kai Wing, was a senior police sergeant and a football coach. Under the influence of his father, Xiao Zhiwei has had a soft spot for football since he was a child.
Who would have thought that this teenager who sweated on the court would become a man of the year in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the future?
Tsang Chi-wai was an outstanding football player in secondary school, representing the Hong Kong youth team in Asia, Thailand and Iran many times. At that time, his mind was full of football dreams, and he didn't know anything about his acting career.
The turning point of fate came in 1968. 15-year-old Zeng Zhiwei began to contact the film and television industry through the introduction of his friend Sammo Hung. With keen insight and excellent eloquence, the young Zeng Zhiwei soon made a name for himself in screenwriting.
In 1972, Zeng Zhiwei ushered in his screen debut. In the movie "Fourteen Heroes", he played a small role. Although he didn't have many scenes, this experience gave him a strong interest in acting career.
First love: love at first sight to a painful breakup
In the same year that Zeng Zhiwei's career started, his love life also ushered in a major turning point.
In 1968, 15-year-old Zeng Zhiwei met Wang Meihua, an actor from the Taiwan Song and Dance Troupe who came to Hong Kong to perform. The young and handsome Zeng Zhiwei fell in love with Wang Meihua at first sight and launched a passionate pursuit.
The two quickly fell in love and began a sweet relationship. Zeng Zhiwei once promised Wang Meihua that he would marry her in three years. Who knows, this promise turned out to be the foreshadowing of the tragedy of the marriage in the future.
In 1972, at the urging of their father, 19-year-old Zeng Zhiwei and 18-year-old Wang Meihua entered the marriage hall. However, bad omens appeared on the wedding day. The groom Zeng Zhiwei was late! Not only that, but after the wedding, he went to go high with his friends for three whole days before returning home. This hit the simple Wang Meihua hard, and also laid hidden dangers for their marriage.
After marriage, Zeng Zhiwei did not restrain himself, but became more addicted to a life of spending time and drinking. He often doesn't go home at night, leaving Wang Meihua alone at home to take care of the children. Even if Wang Meihua forgave many times, Zeng Zhiwei still went his own way.
In 1976, Wang Meihua, who couldn't bear it, filed for divorce. Surprisingly, she even gave up a breakup fee of 50 million and custody of her two daughters. It can be seen how much damage this marriage has brought her.
Career take-off: from a dragon set to a "prize gatekeeper"
The failure of the marriage did not affect Zeng Zhiwei's career development. On the contrary, his development momentum in the entertainment industry is getting stronger and stronger.
After the divorce, Zeng Zhiwei began to devote himself to his acting career. He first worked as a dragon and tiger martial artist for a period of time, and later began to try his hand at directing under the cultivation of director Liu Jialiang.
In 1981, Zeng Zhiwei ushered in a major breakthrough in his career. His directorial debut, Best Partner, was a huge success, not only a box office hit, but also to critical acclaim in the industry.
Since then, Zeng Zhiwei's road to directing has been smooth sailing. He has directed a number of acclaimed and acclaimed films, such as "Double Dragon Club" and "Gambling Tycoon", etc., and established his position in the Hong Kong film industry.
In addition to the director, Zeng Zhiwei also shines as an actor and host. The variety show "Happy Tonight" hosted by him has been prosperous for a long time and is deeply loved by the audience. With his versatile performance, Zeng Zhiwei has been nominated and awarded many times at the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, and is known as the "Prize Doorman".
Second marriage: 14 years of cohabitation to reluctance to get married
The success of his career did not make Zeng Zhiwei emotionally mature. Soon after the divorce, he met Zhu Xizhen (also known as Song Lihua).
Zhu Xizhen is an outsider, beautiful and gentle. Zeng Zhiwei was quickly attracted to her, and the two began to live together. However, Zeng Zhiwei has always been reluctant to officially marry Zhu Xizhen.
Despite this, Zhu Xizhen still chose to silently support Zeng Zhiwei. She gave birth to two sons for Zeng Zhiwei: Zeng Guoxiang and Zeng Guoyou. Even if Zeng Zhiwei was in the lace news outside, Zhu Xizhen always swallowed his anger and maintained this relationship for the sake of the child.
It was not until 1989, when Zhu Xizhen moved to Canada with her two sons, that Zeng Zhiwei reluctantly agreed to register his marriage with her. This marriage seems to have a name, but it is actually full of helplessness and compromise.
Daughter-in-law turmoil: The ugliness of the family is publicized
thought that after getting married, Zeng Zhiwei's life would calm down. Who knows, old age brings not joy, but more trouble.
In 2012, Zeng Zhiwei's youngest son Zeng Guoyou married his girlfriend Zhang Kehui Fengzi. This should have been a happy event, but it became a big worry for Zeng Zhiwei in his later years.
Zhang Kehui often abused her father-in-law Zeng Zhiwei on the Internet, and even had an ambiguous relationship with Zeng Zhiwei's friend Miao Qiaowei. These scandals not only disgraced Zeng Zhiwei, but also brought great harm to the entire family.
In the end, Zeng Zhiwei had to drive this unfilial daughter-in-law out of the house. But the family scandal has been publicized, and the image that Zeng Zhiwei has built up over the years collapsed overnight.
Later life: Lost a loved one and faced life alone
On August 3, 2020, Zhu Xizhen, his wife who has accompanied Zeng Zhiwei for many years, died of cancer. This woman, who had been silently supporting him, finally left him.
Zeng Zhiwei, who lost his wife, had to face his old age alone. The "big guy" who used to be dominant, now has to face the impermanence of life.
Conclusion: Life is like a play, and drama is like life
From a football boy to a bigwig in the entertainment industry, from a playboy to a lonely old man, Zeng Zhiwei's life is as exciting as the plays he has acted.
He has achieved great success in his career, but has suffered repeated setbacks in his love life. He has created countless classic roles, but he has not been able to play the role of a good husband and father.
Perhaps, this is the arrangement of fate. Zeng Zhiwei's life teaches us that success and happiness are not always at the same time. While pursuing career achievements, we must cherish the people around us and cherish the hard-won feelings.
When we look back on Zeng Zhiwei's life, we can't help but ask: if he could do it all over again, would he have made a different choice? Or is this the unique life that belongs to Zeng Zhiwei?
In any case, Zeng Zhiwei's story is worth pondering. In this era of entertainment, should we also stop and think about what is the true meaning of life?
