news

a few days ago, taiwanese actor wallace chung, whose production has been gradually decreasing, was photographed having dinner with friends. there was also an amateur woman with them. after the dinner, the two returned to the hotel alone.

later, someone revealed that the woman was his low-key wife xie yihua, but the news has not been confirmed.

since 2015, the media revealed that wallace chung had been secretly married for many years, but he never responded. in addition, both of them are very low-key and have rarely been photographed together over the years, but they have always been assumed to be very much in love.

since last year, there have been rumors that wallace chung, who is nearly 50 years old, may have divorced, but he still hasn't said a word.

even now, he was photographed having dinner with his wife, which was seen by the outside world as a disguised way of refuting rumors of his divorce.

indeed, although wallace chung, who has been active in the idol drama market, is 50 years old, he has maintained himself well and is full of vigor. over the years, he has adhered to male ethics and rarely had any scandals.

is this because he is a clean person in the entertainment circle, or is it because his wife xie yihua is good at controlling her husband?

1. they have similar experiences

wallace chung was born in 1974 in a well-off family in hong kong. his father ran a printing factory and the family was relatively well off.

he has loved singing and dancing since he was a child, but it was not popular to attend training classes in that era. however, his family did not force him to suppress his hobbies for the sake of making a living.

the tragedy happened when he was 16 years old. his father's factory was suddenly acquired, causing the family to lose its source of income. his parents had no choice but to leave their hometown and work outside.

as the only boy in the family, wallace chung had to shoulder the burden and started working part-time to share the pressure.

because of his handsome appearance, he was quickly spotted by tvb. plus, he already had ideas about becoming an artist, so they hit it off.

on the surface, wallace chung looks gentle and elegant, but in fact he is a very principled and upright person.

in an interview with a tvb talk show in his early years, the host said that he entered the industry to reduce the burden on his family. he immediately denied it, saying that he did not like such sensational packaging:

"i went to tvb because i didn't want to spend my parents' money anymore. the most important thing was to use a self-sufficient way to win my parents' approval of this dream."

xie yihua, who is 6 years younger than wallace chung, comes from a much better family. it is reported that she was born into a wealthy family. her father runs a real estate business and is worth a lot of money.

therefore, whether in appearance or conversation, xie yihua is impressive.

when she was 12 years old, she was still living an ordinary life in school, while her future husband wallace chung had already entered the industry.

at first in tvb, he was just a minor actor seconded to the "artist department". after that, he participated in many film and television productions, but they did not make much of a splash.

it was not until the 1995 hit tv series "the endless love" that wallace chung showed his extraordinary acting talent by playing the role of a demented teenager.

it is said that at this time tvb proposed to cooperate with him for a long time, but he had other plans for his life and did not want to be bound by a contract, so he did not agree.

therefore, he was hidden for a long time, but god opened another window for him to meet taiwanese musician tai zhengxiao.

the other party saw the commercial value of him and extended an olive branch to him. the two sides hit it off immediately. as a result, wallace chung entered the taiwanese market and became an overnight sensation with his first album "orea".

at that time, he was the "little sun" loved by thousands of girls. he then returned to the film and television industry and starred in the movie "super class monitor", which was a box office hit.

in the same year, wallace chung released his first cantonese album "a thousand kinds of worry" and returned to the hong kong market, which was another successful start.

he was labeled as "aaron kwok's successor" by the outside world and was very popular for a while.

it was also during this period that the unknown xie yihua was admitted to the acting department, also harboring a dream of becoming a star.

but the traditional father xie did not like this major, so he suggested that his daughter study fashion design. later, she became the assistant of the famous designer li daqi.

by the way, li daqi was once well-known to the outside world for his relationship with zhou xun, and he was also very famous in the industry.

during the period of learning from each other, xie yihua not only learned how to sew clothes and select fabrics, but also understood the work flow of a stylist.

she then quit her job and entered the fashion institute of technology (fit) in new york with the mentality of improving herself.

on the other hand, wallace chung's acting career was not as smooth as he had imagined, and he encountered waterloo in the climbing stage.

2. they met at work and fell in love secretly

in 1999, after seven years of debut, wallace chung's career declined. the responses to his successive albums, movies and other works were incomparable to his previous ones.

with no other choice, he could only shift the focus of his career to domestic entertainment and began to focus on filming film and television dramas, and soon things turned around.

at this time, xie yihua was not having a good time in new york. she was very strong-willed and did not want to ask her parents for money, but in order to afford the high tuition fees, she worked part-time in her spare time.

eventually, she dropped out of school for various reasons and returned to chinese taipei to seek opportunities.

by chance, xie yihua became the assistant of the famous stylist ye jintian, who was designing costumes for the movie "double vision" at that time. she also joined the crew directly and her job was to make all the costumes look old.

although the workload was heavy and boring, xie yihua was still very serious and was therefore recognized in the industry.

after just half a year, she successfully upgraded to become a stylist and her salary also increased.

after wallace chung came to the chinese entertainment industry, he starred in a series of works such as "the four gathering in the capital" and "dragon ball in the demonic world", but he still received little attention.

fortunately, because of the tv series "against the current", wallace chung's role as the villain gu xichao quickly gained him a lot of fans.

what is not well known is that during the filming of this drama, he had already met xie yihua due to work.

in 2004, when he was about to release his album "sunny day", the other party became his stylist.

at that time, the woman was not only a stylist, but also starting her own business.

after she gained a certain fame in the industry, she founded her own clothing brand. coincidentally, female artist yin yue was also interested in it, so the two hit it off and each invested 3 million to set up a company.

although yin yue has a prominent background, the company's operations are still under great pressure.

xie yihua had experienced various "tribulations" such as being cheated by oem manufacturers, collective resignation of employees, and fabrics being soaked in water. even in the later stage, his partner yin yue suddenly withdrew his investment...

when xie yihua met zhong hanliang, she was at her most anxious stage:

"at the beginning, the company was running idle and burning money every day. but the more i wanted to overcome it, the more i took on stylist jobs to raise funds."

in addition to working as a stylist, xie yihua even worked as a print model for the magazine "yue ji" around 2007. it can be seen that she is indeed a capable, goal-oriented and ambitious girl.

the outside world does not know exactly when wallace chung and her got together.

in short, in 2009, the crystal t-shirt peripherals launched by the man were designed and produced by the clothing brand "zhengliuhou" founded by xie yihua.

it is said that the boy image on the crystal t-shirt is a self-portrait of wallace chung, and the female image with horns next to it is xie yihua.

the brand "empress6" was founded in 2008. its english name is "empress6", which means queen, and "6" represents six o'clock in the evening.

xie yihua has an extra complex about this time point:

"for me, 6pm is the beginning of good times. after get off work, i can wear my own fashionable clothes and transform into a dazzling butterfly to attend parties or dates."

later, a friend who knew her well revealed that her friends all liked to call xie yihua "xiaohua", and because of her favorite color, they also registered a company under the name "heihua".

and "black flower" also has a connection with wallace chung:

the following year, he launched a virtual daughter puppet named heihua.

all of the above are the evidence of the two people's secret marriage in the future, and they were all exposed one by one after the incident was exposed.

3. the "pure stream of the circle" who have been supporting each other for 20 years

during the period when he was secretly in love with xie yihua, wallace chung's career became popular again.

in 2010, he starred in the tv series "too late to say i love you", in which he played the scheming and overbearing ceo and gained many fans.

in addition, the biggest popularity of the drama is due to the many kissing scenes between wallace chung and the actress li xiaoran, who plays the female lead, and he is therefore called the "kissing god" by the outside world.

after his career became popular again, he set up his own studio and it was discovered that the address was the same as that of the "zhengliuhou" company.

two years later, it was revealed that wallace chung was secretly married to xie yihua, but he did not respond.

netizens dug deeper based on these clues and gradually discovered that the two people were indeed inextricably linked.

xie yihua, also known by the english name "rita", appears in wallace chung's work environment all the time, for example, she was the costume assistant for his 2010 album "visual animal".

the following year, actor jimmy lin suddenly let slip during an event: "wallace chung is going to be a father!"

at that time, wallace chung was almost 40 years old, but he was still pursuing the idol route because he was in good shape, and the actresses he acted with were getting younger and younger, so the exposure of his secret marriage could only do him harm.

so in 2013, wallace chung publicly stated that he had never been married.

the following year, at the age of 40, he was involved in a scandal again because of his collaboration with tang yan in "fall in love with you".

but in 2015, a photo of xie yihua and wallace chung was exposed, and the media also said with certainty: he had been secretly married for many years.

this time, faced with the "evidence", the man finally gave in and said directly in an interview: if he gets married, he will choose to have a secret marriage.

at the end of the year, he was photographed traveling in thailand with his wife and daughter. since then, xie yihua, who had been in hiding for 10 years, finally surfaced.

wallace chung no longer denied it, but he also didn't officially admit it. it seemed like he just wanted to wait for the heat to die down and let his fans slowly accept it.

his fans were also very sensible. they spontaneously organized an appeal campaign with the theme of "be closer to his works and farther away from his life" to protect their idol.

it was originally thought that wallace chung would successfully overcome the difficulties of his "secret marriage" and his career would return to a stable state.

however, he suffered another setback because of another person.

in 2016, the costume drama "the princess weiyoung" starring him was a hit. because the male and female protagonists are considered "top stars" in their respective fields, the work was highly discussed as soon as it was aired.

but no one expected that the leading actress angelababy was not popular among the public, which led to constant criticism and complaints. in the end, the drama was judged as a "cutout drama", which in some sense also affected wallace chung's popularity among the public.

after that, although he has released new dramas every year, he is often criticized as "an old cow eating young grass". the responses to his consecutive starring works "liang sheng, can we not be sad" and "the sword and the brocade" were not as good as his previous works.

it wasn't until 2022 that he collaborated with his old partner li xiaoran to film "you in this life", and he was able to make a comeback.

however, after that, wallace chung's film and television works decreased sharply. instead, he worked hard on variety shows and made a fortune quietly.

as a result, his presence is decreasing. is he ending up being forgotten by the crowd like liu kaiwei and huo jianhua, who were once known as "kai han hua"?

until last year, it was revealed by paparazzi that they were suspected to be divorced. now, they were photographed being intimate with xie yihua, who is suspected to be his wife, showing that they are an old couple living a peaceful life.

in fact, if you look closely at the 20 years that the two have been together, you can feel that they are really "the clear stream of the upper class". they don't hype or make trouble, and they enjoy life in a low-key manner, which is good.
