amy kwok was born in hong kong on september 26, 1967. today is her 57th birthday. first of all, i wish amy a happy birthday!
let’s take this opportunity to talk about the life and times of this wise miss hong kong and peerless beauty——
guo aiming comes from a wealthy family. she attended canossian college of the sacred heart in high school. after graduation, she immigrated to the united states and pursued a master's degree in electronic engineering at the university of southern california.
according to her original destiny, guo aiming had a good chance of becoming a strong woman in scientific research who was no less capable than any man, and delving into a career more meaningful than acting.
however, in 1991, 24-year-old amy received a call at her home in los angeles, inviting her to return to hong kong to participate in the miss hong kong beauty pageant. it was this call that changed her life.
the caller was wu yu, then tvb city production director and miss hong kong pageant coordinator. at that time, wu yu was dissatisfied with the declining quality of miss hong kong candidates and pioneered overseas recruitment.
the miss hong kong selection team flew to los angeles and vancouver. although there were many suitable candidates, they only saw the energetic and outstandingamy kwok, wu yu confirmed that this was the person he was looking for.
coincidentally, the miss hong kong beauty pageant coincided with guo aiming's final exams, so she rejected wu yu's invitation without hesitation and prepared to continue reviewing to move towards her dream of becoming a university professor.
however, facing the thousands of tricks of the old hong kong gangs, how can a young girl resist? after wu yu's soft and hard tactics, begging and enticements, guo aiming finally decided to return to hong kong to participate in the competition.
if this incident had not happened, guo aiming could have gone to an american aerospace company for an internship that summer. fate is always decided in a split second.
this girl, who comes from a science and engineering background, has always been determined to make a move and never regrets it. a woman like this will not be easily buried no matter what field she goes into.
as expected, in the final of the 1991 miss hong kong pageant, contestant no. 7, amy kwok, with her rosy face, red lips, bright eyes and white teeth, performed gracefully and elegantly, winning applause from the judges and the audience.
in the end, guo aiming beat out competitors including ada choi, carina lau, and wan ying ho to win the miss hong kong title, miss international goodwill, and best conversation and humor award, stunning the whole city.
as a result, guo aiming became the most educated champion in the history of the miss hong kong pageant, and the title of "smart miss hong kong" spread quickly.
after winning the championship, she chose to stay in hong kong, fulfill her duties as miss hong kong, and signed a contract with tvb, giving up her promising studies in the united states.
in 1992, guo aiming officially entered the film industry, and her first work was the masterpiece "the peak of hong kong drama" which is still regarded as the "peak of hong kong drama" today.big time》。
in the play, she competed with a group of acting masters, and her performance was not inferior at all, winningadam cheng, zeng jiang and other senior actors praised him highly.
in "the greed of man", two crazy people, ding hai and fang zhanbo, continue to fight each other, fang jinxin and ling jie are heartbroken, ding xiaohai and fang ting are deeply in love, fang zhanbo and ruan mei are heartbroken, and long jiwen's infatuation with fang zhanbo is always in vain. so many love and hate entanglements are injected into the song "my life, my love".
they are equally unfortunate, but each of them is sad. under the melody of "gray tracks", fang ting and xiao xie are obsessed with each other; in the sad music of "a woman easily hurt", sister ling struggles to move forward; accompanied by the singing of "red river valley", ruan mei slowly falls asleep; and long jiwen also silently asks before leaving: "how can you bear to make me sad?"
fang zhanbo chose the little jew in the play, and long jiwen outside the play. "big times" not only made guo aiming officially become an actor, but also made her have an enviable marriage and met the love of her life——lau ching wan。
surprisingly consistent with the characters in the drama, amy kwok and lau ching wan's family backgrounds, educational backgrounds and life trajectories are very different. compared to amy's brilliance, ordinary citizen lau ching wan can be said to be truly ordinary.
during the filming, amy was still with her then-boyfriend and had no particular feelings for ching wan. but after the filming, after vivian chow's enthusiastic matchmaking and lau ching wan's "soft and hard persuasion", the beauty finally decided to accept blackie.
unlike the tragic ending in the drama, amy kwok and lau ching wan were steadfast and devoted in their love outside the drama. not long after they started dating, they announced their relationship and could be seen together in almost every occasion in the entertainment industry.
back to his acting career, after the greed of man, under the recommendation of adam cheng, amy kwok andjet li、josephine siao、hu huizhong, michelle reis and other superstars and starred in his first movie - "the sequel to fong sai-yuk".
in the film, the hong kong beauty champion michelle reis and the smartest amy kwok face off in a battle, "jealousy", which is very lively. amy kwok's performance is so charming and lively that even michelle reis seems a little dull in front of her.
afterwards, guo aiming continued to work in the television station, starring in "bad kiss", "fantastic little man", "family", "the third kind of court", "laughing at the wind and cloud", "heaven-falling love", "criminal investigation files 2", "heaven and earth pride" and many other fashion classics.
from 1993 to 1996, guo aiming was selected as one of the "top ten tv artists" for four consecutive years, becoming one of the leading actresses of tvb. although she often played unpleasant roles such as the second female lead and the third party in the drama, this gave her room to display her acting skills.
especially in "criminal investigation files 2", guo aiming tried the villain for the first time.smiling at the wind and clouds》, the “third party drama” was pushed to the extreme.
the character she played, lan jiawen, had a full forehead under her widow's peak, brown almond-shaped eyes that glared around, and dark red lipstick on. she questioned the male protagonist soul-searching, leaving a trauma in the childhood of countless viewers.
ever since he announced his relationship with andy lau, people outside have expressed their pessimism, with some even saying that andy lau is "a toad wanting to eat swan meat". the black uncle has suffered no less grievances than yesterday's lam kwok-bun, and he was also hesitant, worried that amy's family would not accept him.
love is a kind of determination and perseverance. love is to see the good in each other, not to find fault with the dark skin. the dark-faced god in the eyes of others is the chocolate in her heart. amy comforted qingyun: "don't worry, my mother lives in las vegas and can't control you."
in 1998, after many years of dating, amy kwok and lau ching wan finally entered the marriage palace. three days before the wedding, ching wan was still working hard on filming, and only amy was making arrangements. she had no doubts about the commitment of love, after all, she loved him for his down-to-earth and progressive character.
at the wedding, reporters asked amy what she liked about qingyun, and she smiled and replied, "i don't know, as long as we are happy together!" behind the seemingly simple answer is the long-term patience and tolerance of both parties, as well as amy's clear insight into life and love.
regarding her love with a black man, amy said: "i never consider background and education. i don't think people with similar backgrounds are necessarily suitable. i learned a lot about how to treat people from him, which are things you can't learn from books. love is originally a matter between two people."
after getting married, guo aiming's performance frequency was greatly reduced, but she still insisted on being an actress. later, she gradually found that it was difficult to balance career and family. after some thinking, she chose to completely return to family life and leave her acting addiction to qingyun.
for a woman like guo aiming who is good at everything, returning to her family is indeed a bit of a waste. but then again, it is not surprising that she can give up academic studies for beauty pageants and bid farewell to acting for her family.
everyone can win or lose, and no one can judge right or wrong. as amy herself said, the most important thing is to be happy. moreover, with her knowledge and talents, there is room for her to shine everywhere.
cooking, daily life, companionship and support, caring for the elderly, investment and financial management, managing business... when andy lau was too immersed in the role and "wandering in space", she let him "return to earth safely" and feel safe and secure.
life is like a game of chess, and you should never regret your moves. if amy could turn back time, what would she choose? would she still be willing to be the woman behind the movie king? her answer is - "yes! housewife!"
although she has faded from the entertainment industry for many years, guo aiming's brilliance has not dimmed at all. instead, she looks at the changing times more calmly and becomes the white moonlight in the hearts of the audience.
