With the role of "Chan Ho Nam", Ekin Cheng quickly became popular. At his peak, he was known as the fifth king of Hong Kong. At that time, he could already carry the flag of the Hong Kong movie industry by himself. However, at the peak of his career, for some reasons, the company decided to change his agent. He has always been a man of love and loyalty and refused the company's request without hesitation. Due to many unsuccessful negotiations, the company had to gradually suspend his movie bookings and activities.
Chen Ho Nam, played by Ekin Cheng as the "Causeway Bay Handbag", is y rooted in people's hearts.
What really put him on the map was that Ekin said more than once in front of the media that he wanted to get married to Maggie Shaw, but then Ekin and Gigi Leung had an unnamed relationship, which undoubtedly put him on a downward spiral, resulting in a "fatal blow". Because of the great impact of this incident, and insisted on not listening to the company's arrangements, a period of time, his reputation fell, directly to the point of no movie to shoot. However, after a period of time, Ekin and his current wife, Monica, have achieved positive results. Even with no drama to shoot, the couple's life was still relatively nourishing.
Till now, there are still many people who feel sorry for Ekin Cheng, but everyone has different pursuits. Some people just value their feelings, while others take fame and fortune very plainly. After all, they were once glorious, and now it's a good choice to take their wives out for a trip. When it comes to the name of Causeway Bay, the vast majority of students of the post-80s and post-90s generation are unlikely to forget it, especially Ekin Cheng's portrayal of Causeway Bay's flag bearer Chen Haonan in the movie "Grouchy Boys", which is y rooted in people's hearts. Most people can hardly separate Ekin Cheng from Chan Ho Nam, and even in the concert, Ekin Cheng's image is linked to Chan Ho Nam, the character of a kooky kid, which has become the biggest selling point of Ekin Cheng's concert.
The original name of Causeway Bay was "East Point"
But after all, a movie is a movie, but from a realistic point of view, Causeway Bay actually has a backpack, and this backpack as early as 97 years ago in Causeway Bay can call the shots. However, this "handler" is not an underground force, but a force in the market. This puller is Li's. As early as 1923, Mr. Lee bought the land west of Causeway Bay from the Jardine Matheson Group, one of the four major Hong Kong conglomerates, for HK$3.851 million. Later, Lee and his descendants developed it into Lee Gardens, which is now located in the area of Lee Stage, Pok Fu Street, Lee Garden Hill Road and Yun Ping Road in Central, Hong Kong. It's worth noting that Causeway Bay was actually not the same as it is now. 97 years ago, Causeway Bay was much smaller than it is now.
The original name of Causeway Bay was "East Point", meaning the promontory to the east of Victoria City. At that time, Causeway Bay was the area between Victoria Park and Percival Street, and around the middle of the 19th century, Causeway Bay was actually just the headquarters of Jardine Matheson. At that time, Jardine Matheson set up warehouses and sugar mills in Causeway Bay. By the end of the 19th century, it was extremely inconvenient to navigate around Causeway Bay. A seawall was built to connect the bay, which is now known as Causeway Road. In fact, the name causewaybay comes from the English word for Causeway Bay.
Causeway Bay is actually just the headquarters of Jardine Matheson.
After Liechtenstein bought Causeway Bay in 1923, it actually didn't have much development value at that time. It was not until 1950 that large-scale reclamation works began in Causeway Bay. Causeway Bay, which was originally a high mountain, was bulldozed. At the same time, the soil was used for reclamation and Causeway Bay grew bigger and bigger, and the Lichtenstein family took this opportunity to rapidly build real estate properties. It is worth noting that the subsequent development of Causeway Bay had nothing to do with Mr. Lichtenstein.
It all began, in fact, with Lee's birth. Lee was born into a gold-rush family, with his father being one of the first to travel from China to the United States. It wasn't until he was 17 that he followed his father back to Hong Kong and attended a school. After graduation, Lee, who knew English, became a popular English teacher at the time. At that time, Lee's name was even on a par with Du's in Shanghai.
The Lee family kept a low profile, limiting their business to Causeway Bay.
How much wealth does Li Shen have? Actually, it can be seen from the fact that he bought the whole Causeway Bay for HK$3.851 million. As we all know, Li comes from the Li Ka Shing family and borrowed HK$50,000 from his uncle to start his business. It is worth noting that the Hong Kong dollar was already very valuable, and very few families could come up with HK$50,000 at one time, with most living below the subsistence level. In contrast, Lee was able to come up with HK$3,851,000 at one time, which shows how strong Lee's financial resources are.
However, it's a shame that he has become a businessman and still can't leave the industry for various reasons. Squire Lee took a car to Yuji Club for dinner. While traveling between Kau Yuk Fong and Wellington Street in Central, Li Shen's family offered a direct reward of 20,000 Hong Kong dollars. The Hong Kong dollar is already a huge sum of money that an ordinary person may never earn.

Despite this, the Lichtensteins have kept a low profile ever since, limiting their business to Causeway Bay. The rest of their business is just investment, not management. In Causeway Bay, the Lichtensteins also follow the principle that they only rent, not sell. Today, the Lichtensteins are able to earn nearly $3 billion from rent alone, enough to support a large family.
