When Gigi Lai 13 years old,
I have been to the health club where my father works.

At that time, the salary of extras was 300 yuan.
In order to reduce the family burden
She gave her brother a chance to go to school.
Choose to enter the entertainment circle.
Whenever people around you ask
She proudly said:
"My brother is a great reader, but I'm not cut out for reading."
As long as the family can live a better life,
She will eat anything.
Just like "Not enough to eat" in Changsheng Gao's "A Perfect Match":

From "The Beautiful Vase" to "Looking after Sister", she has been working hard for 20 years.
The entertainment circle has never been based solely on beauty.
Gigi Lai's road to stardom is also bumpy.
19 years old, participated in the movie "Dragon in Prison" and played Andy Lau's girlfriend.
Although there are not many scenes, as long as you can make money.
At that time, she had not really fallen in love with acting.
Think of it as a job that can bring home the bacon.
So whenever there is a scene, Gigi Lai will go.
She really works hard. In five years, she made 1 1 film and television drama.
1993 also signed a record company to join the music scene.
But in the Hong Kong music scene where the gods gathered in the 1990s,

Gigi Lai is always in an awkward position.
But because I shoot everywhere,
Almost all the first-line actor's girlfriend roles have been collected.

The title of "Love God" spread.
Until TVB prepared a drama version of "Eternal Dragon Slayer",
Gigi Lai plays the princess of Zhao Min,
It has become the biggest eye-catching highlight of the whole drama.
Beautiful, with three points of heroism and three points of luxury,
It can be said that there is no Zhao Min after Gigi Lai.

From the beginning, I was arrogant and brainless.
Later, the talent was hidden, step by step,
After the broadcast, it became popular and won the prize, which was completely unexpected.
It was this drama that finally pushed Gigi Lai's career to the top.
Lin Baoyi, the hero of the play, was worried about Gigi Lai's acting skills at first.
After the cooperation, he spoke highly of Gigi Lai.
He said with a smile, "At first I was worried that I wouldn't collide with Gigi Lai, but I found that there were too many sparks and they turned into fireworks." .

Taking care of my sister quit the entertainment circle only to take care of my brother who was paralyzed by a car accident.
While his career is booming, what makes Gigi Lai more happy is that his younger brother Li Yingxue has returned to China.
I also opened my own skin care center in Causeway Bay, and the future is bright.
Gigi Lai and his brother.
However, fate once again played a joke on Gigi Lai.
In 2007, my brother was involved in a car accident.
Seriously injured and unconscious, and even in danger of becoming a vegetative state.
Gigi Lai hasn't had time to rest in happiness,
In this way, ushered in the biggest bad news in life.
At that time, Gigi Lai was filming Jewellery.
She had to run at both ends of the hospital.
And bear huge medical expenses.
Later, "Bejeweled" became an instant hit.
37-year-old Gigi Lai's acting career has reached a new peak.
Stills of "bling with jewels"
But at this moment, Gigi Lai unexpectedly announced:
I will quit the entertainment circle completely and concentrate on taking care of my brother.
Therefore, "Bejeweled" has also become the finale of Gigi Lai's TV career.
Some people sympathize with her, but for her,
Home has always been the most important thing in her heart.
She knows nothing about business,
In order to keep my brother's dreams and efforts,
With his medical beauty clinic.
A person who started filming at the age of 14,
A woman who has never worked in an office all day,
Force yourself to learn from scratch bit by bit,
Working until midnight every day is so stressful that I often make myself cry.
Catch up on professional knowledge, read financial statements and decoration drawings,
From zero foundation to slowly understanding everything,
It took Gigi Lai nine months to get back to normal.
Later, it was opened one after another until 20 17.
Operation of successful listed companies in Gigi Lai.
Eight years later, Gigi Lai changed from a female star to a strong woman in business.
She said that she finally realized her brother's dream.
However, this time she no longer needs a person to carry everything.

I have been in love for a long time.
When I was young, I debuted to support my family and worked hard in the entertainment industry.
Gigi Lai is a insecure person.
Especially beautiful, she has many scandals,
Her love life is also bumpy.
She once said, "My poor childhood made me want to find an old and important man to protect me early."
Accustomed to sheltering her family from the wind and rain, she also wants someone to rely on.
But not all men are mature and steady.
When Gigi Lai 16 years old, he met Huang Yulang, a 37-year-old famous Hong Kong cartoonist.
The other side takes care of her like a father,
Hold a luxurious party for her birthday,
I also named the heroine in my cartoon "Dragon Tiger V" Gigi Lai.
Because of longing for this proper warmth,
Even the scandal of "mistress" and "adopted son" was once revealed by the media.
Gigi Lai doesn't care.
Young and ignorant, Gigi Lai soon fell in love.
But after falling in love for two years, the other party suddenly used the reason of getting back together with his ex-wife.
Unilaterally notify Gigi Lai to break up.
What's even more amazing is that Mr. Huang didn't really get back together with his ex-wife, but cheated.
First love met love rat,
Gigi Lai has suffered too much injustice in this relationship,
Even then, I had the idea of suicide.
Until I was 28 years old, I met Pang Weixin, who was then called a tough guy in the financial world.
A beautiful actress and a financial genius seem to be a perfect match.
Their relationship lasted only two years, and then they broke up.
Then in 2009, 38-year-old Gigi Lai suddenly announced her marriage.
The groom is Ma Tingqiang, a Hong Kong businessman 15 years older than her.
She said sweetly
I found someone I can trust for life,
He has a sense of responsibility, love and tolerance. He loves not only himself but also his family.
In the past brilliant and colorful film and television career,
It is not as fulfilling as the simple family life now.
Gigi Lai and Ma Tingqiang.
However, some people ridiculed her for marrying a rich man.
Some people say that she is married. After all, the other person is lame, and they are not a good match.
But in fact, after several rough feelings,
Gigi Lai is a man who really knows what he wants.
Although Ma Tingqiang has a disabled leg,
But I have been chasing Gigi Lai for six years.
Besides, after Gigi Lai's brother had a car accident,
Standing up for the first time to find the best doctor,
Obviously, my body is not convenient,
But he visits Li Ying in the hospital every other day.
Try my best to spend the most desperate days with Gigi Lai.
Although Ma Tingqiang is worth over 100 million yuan,
But his personality is extremely low-key,
If it wasn't for Gigi Lai's wedding news,
I'm afraid no one will notice him either.
In the second year after marriage,
Gigi Lai has twin daughters.
20 12 years, 4/kloc-0 years old Gigi Lai has three daughters.
When interviewed by the media in 2008, I asked her what her greatest wish was.
She said that her greatest wish was to be a wife.
Now she is satisfied.
The outside world thinks she is an enterprising person.
From "Goddess of Entertainment Circle" to "Strong Woman in Business"
in fact
Every change she made.
But they all put home first.
Try to protect every family member.
She said, "I feel that I was born in this world as if I had a mission to defend my family, love, career and family. I didn't do anything for myself. " Without home, I will be separated, and family is my biggest spiritual pillar. "
Gigi Lai and his family.
Now, she can finally be a little girl immersed in warm daily life.
Besides work, she spends most of her time with her husband and children, and her family is warm and happy.
After 1 1 year's insistence, Gigi Lai is also a faithful wife.
My brother Li Ying can finally stand up.
You see, Gigi Lai has experienced half a lifetime of twists and turns.
There is no trace of being bullied by life on his face.
On the contrary, she is elegant, firm and confident.
Any picture of going out of the street can also explode the whole network.
Talking about her age, she can even say calmly, "I don't care about getting old." The experience that life brings me makes me more willing to pay and forget, and also makes me confident, satisfied and happy. "
Although life has given Gigi Lai too many blows, her heart is full of gratitude.
"Thank you" has become her most frequently expressed feeling and the word with the highest frequency in her personal Weibo.
On her ninth wedding anniversary, she sent this Weibo:
Thank you, my dearest husband,
Promised me a happy life nine years ago,
But he is willing to grow old with me, and he will cherish me as a child forever.
What is the difference between me today and me nine years ago?
Actually, I don't care about these problems anymore.
The experience that life has brought me makes me more willing to pay and not care.
It also makes me confident, satisfied and happy.
Over the years, from the vase beauty to the queen mother to the female president,
It is forced by life, but it is also fighting against life.
Gigi Lai seems to have taken control of its own destiny.
After that, nothing can beat her.
