Yam Tat-wah, a famous actor: At the age of 50, I saw my daughter in tears because she couldn't have children.

Speaking of Yam Tat-wah, people's first impression is a good actor and a good husband.

He made his debut very early and has been in more than 200 films, but it was not until 20 10 that he won the best actor for "The Thief of the Years".

In life, Yam Tat-wah is an out-and-out crazy person who dotes on his wife. He has been married for more than 20 years and has never had any scandals.

His wife Sophia Kao is a model. In order to keep fit, she told Yam Tat-wah at the beginning of her marriage that she didn't want children.

Although Yam Tat-wah loves children very much, she finally agreed, considering his wife's mood.

Sophia Kao didn't let go until he was 50, and Yam Tat-wah finally became a father.

Old son Yam Tat-wah held his daughter in tears.

Love your wife too much, so don't have children; I also cherish my daughter, because I love my wife so much.

Now, as the daughter, charming, and Yam Tat-wah's feelings for his wife and daughter is consistent.

Yam Tat-wah has few fond memories of his childhood and spent most of his time in poverty.

1955, Yam Tat-wah was born in Hongkong, China.

My father, who was born in Jining, Shandong Province, became a Hong Kong policeman by his own efforts and supported five people with a meager monthly salary.

Fortunately, my father's company allocated a house, and their family of five lived in the dormitory 1 1 year.

This 1 1 year is probably the best time of Yam Tat-wah's childhood.

Although my family is poor, my parents are still alive. My father bought a black-and-white TV set for my family.

Yam Tat-wah's impression of his father can be summed up in two words: stern.

He said that his father never said "I love you" and there was almost no formal communication between father and son.

Because my father is a policeman, he has a strong sense of time, never arrives late, and he hates children being late.

Because I was ten minutes late, my father beat me for ten minutes.

When Hong Kong was engaged in infrastructure construction, there was a construction team next to Yam Tat-wah's residence and dug a big hole in Gai Lou.

After the rain, the pit is full of rain, and all the children nearby will play in it.

Yam Tat-wah also went with friends, caught a lot of bugs in it, and planned to take it home to feed his father fish.

As a result, I missed dinner time because I was too involved.

When I got home, my family, including my father, had been waiting for him for ten minutes.

Father saw him come back with a can of worms in his hand. Without any communication, he took out his belt and smoked.

Young Yam Tat-wah was afraid of being a policeman's father and didn't dare to ask why he was beaten. He just stood there and waited for a while and then was beaten.

Father beat him for ten minutes, said nothing, and had no time to eat, so he went out to work the night shift.

Stunned Yam Tat-wah didn't understand. Why did he have to be beaten when he clearly brought worms to his father to feed the fish?

A few days later, my father brought back a gift box with moon cakes in it.

A family like him didn't expect to eat moon cakes at all, and several children were taken aback.

As a result, I opened it and found a cricket inside, which was given to Yam Tat-wah by my father.

Perhaps in the traditional father-son relationship in China, as a superior, it is difficult for a father to express his love at will and he is not good at apologizing to his children.

Yam Tat-wah also don't understand his father's meaning. He just happily showed the cricket to his friends to show off that he had new toys that no one else had.

Until he himself became a father and recalled this story, Yam Tat-wah vaguely felt that his father probably wanted to apologize to him.

When I was a child, Yam Tat-wah always had a bad impression of his father.

Because he dare not look at his father, especially his father in military uniform.

In his impression, only when his father walked out of the house did he dare to look up and watch his father leave.

However, dad seems to like him to help shine shoes. Every night when he comes home from work, he will be the second child in the family.

Father's shoes, belts, etc. , are all polished by Yam Tat-wah.

It is difficult to polish the leather shoes of the police station, because they are easy to get dusty when running around all the year round, and they look gray when worn frequently.

Yam Tat-wah created a unique way to shine shoes. He first grinds the things on the matches into powder, and then spreads them evenly on his shoes.

Then light the powder, burn it out and wipe it with a dry rag. The shoes are smooth and even reflective.

Yam Tat-wah also recommended this method of shoeshine to the director when shooting PTU, which was adopted by the director and put into the film.

However, this wonderful childhood came to an abrupt end at the age of Yam Tat-wah 1 1.

1966, Yam Tat-wah's father was killed by his insane colleague while performing official duties.

After his father died in the line of duty, Yam Tat-wah's mother received only a small pension.

She took a pension and moved out of the dormitory with three children.

At that time, Hong Kong was as rich as it is now.

That meager pension can only support any mother to rent a small room in a slum for four people.

There is no toilet in the room, 17 households use one toilet.

Sometimes Yam Tat-wah has to wait in line until ten o'clock at night to go to the toilet.

The place to live has been solved, but the food for the whole family has also become a big problem.

You know, in Hong Kong, not only the place to live is expensive, but also everything you eat and travel is expensive.

When my father was alive, my mother earned money by working around. After his death, she had to work at home in order to raise the children.

1 1 year-old Yam Tat-wah is very sensible. She works with her mother to make handmade, beaded and plastic flowers. He is good at all these manual jobs.

Every night after school, Yam Tat-wah will accompany her mother to make handicrafts all night, and then sell them on weekends.

When doing handicrafts, Yam Tat-wah will be allowed to watch the black-and-white TV left by his father for a while, which is the happiest moment of his childhood.

Every time I see heroes flying around with swords on TV, Yam Tat-wah always fantasizes that he will appear on TV like them.

When she was a freshman, Yam Tat-wah happened to see an advertisement for a model in the newspaper.

Having fitness habits, he took part in the interview with a try mentality.

Yam Tat-wah recalled afterwards that after his father died, he deeply realized that he had to work hard every step of the way.

The biggest reason for participating in the model selection is to make money to subsidize the family.

Mom is the only one who makes money at home. A family of four is crowded into a small house in a slum, and going to the toilet is a problem. This is the reality that Yam Tat-wah needs to face.

After becoming famous, many people said that their childhood dream was to be a star and realize their desire to love acting.

Compared with them, Yam Tat-wah's original intention is more realistic and concrete.

Yam Tat-wah, whose height is 180cm, successfully passed the selection and started her career as an advertising model.

His first advertisement was a soda advertisement. Yam Tat-wah, who came into contact with filming for the first time, passed the test only after drinking three bottles of soda.

After the advertisement, Yam Tat-wah went home with 200 yuan Hongyuan and gave the money to his mother.

200 yuan is a lot of income in their family. If you only rely on her mother's manual work, it will take about a week to earn it.

Yam Tat-wah felt that he had chosen the right path, and he could earn so much money by advertising alone.

Later, relying on this job, he finished high school with his brother and helped his mother support his family.

After the advertising industry gradually became popular, one day, the brokerage company received a phone call and asked who the model in the advertisement was, hoping that he would film.

Yam Tat-wah thus opened the road to becoming an actor.

Since 1978, he has appeared in more than 200 films and more than 8,000 TV series, and is the most dedicated model worker in the film and television industry.

At the busiest time, he made 15 movies a year and didn't sleep in bed for a month.

Every day, either on the set or on the way to the set.

Yam Tat-wah's three meals a day, including eating and sleeping, can only be solved in the RV.

After watching the play, he quickly ran to the RV to take a bath, eat some rice, and then sat in a chair to catch up on sleep. This is his daily life.

Yam Tat-wah felt that time was his most fulfilling time. Although he is tired, at least he is rich and will show his face.

In fact, in Hong Kong in the last century, many stars lived such a life. In the hottest period, they had little private time and kept circling the set.

Stephen Chow, Nick Cheung, Wan Ziliang, Anita Yuen and so on all had similar experiences.

At that time, there were many supporting roles in Hong Kong, and Yam Tat-wah has always been a supporting role in the company.

Most of his early roles were gang bosses or something. After the whole movie, there are not many shots and fewer lines.

There are so many gangster actors that even the audience thinks that he may really be mixed up with the underworld.

But at this time, director Du Qifeng found him, hoping that he could play a policeman.

Du Qifeng convinced him in one sentence. He said, "Do you think you can play your father?"

Yam Tat-wah took the script that had not been turned over, and only replied "I can".

In 2003, PTU, starring Yam Tat-wah, was released. In the film, he played an unlucky policeman. He helped his companion find the lost gun, but he was accidentally involved in a war between two gangs.

In the next six years, Yam Tat-wah became one of the most popular police actors in Hong Kong.

According to incomplete statistics, he played the role of a policeman more than 50 times in six years.

20 10, The Thief of the Years is released, and Yam Tat-wah plays the father of a shoemaker. With this film, Yam Tat-wah finally ascended the throne of the Academy Award.

Yam Tat-wah revealed that when he started filming, he often failed to receive the final payment.

His pay is settled in three times, one before shooting, one during shooting and the last at the end of shooting.

But since he started filming, he has hardly received any final payment.

At that time, Hong Kong was in chaos and social black forces were rampant. Although Yam Tat-wah's brother is the second in command of the police, he almost never bothers his brother because of such a thing.

He said that he is generous and thinks that we are friends, so there is no need to be too clear.

When he was young, he often lent money to his friends and forgot to come back.

Yam Tat-wah is not only dedicated, but also famous for doting on his wife. When she had a daughter, she became a madman who loved her daughter.

His wife Sophia Kao was born in Shanghai and went to Austria to study when 15 years old.

Sophia Kao, whose parents are businessmen, grew up in a well-off family and naturally had many suitors.

Yam Tat-wah once saw the silhouette of Sophia Kao on the front page of a magazine. He thought it was his wife, and his heart beat for it.

Unfortunately, he was busy filming, and he couldn't see Sophia Kao until eight months later.

At that time, he was filming a program in Vienna and met visiting Sophia Kao in the lobby of the hotel.

Sophia Kao came with his parents and other family members. After greeting, Yam Tat-wah was not at all polite, but just got together for a meal.

Because Yam Tat-wah didn't know German, Sophia Kao's father helped order and settle the bill that day.

Every time Yam Tat-wah talks about the reason for catching up with his wife, it boils down to: cleverness.

This information came in handy in the pursuit of Sophia Kao.

When Yam Tat-wah learned that Sophia Kao was attending Fashion Week in France, she asked her friends in the same industry to give her an expensive luxury watch and a good brush.

Shortly after the date, Yam Tat-wah gave Sophia Kao her bank card to spend freely.

But Sophia Kao has no concept of money. She feels that the money at home will never be spent, and there is no need to care about the specific amount.

Until now, she still has no concept of financial management. She doesn't care how much property she has in her name or how much money Carrie has.

Sophia Kao almost maxed out his card on his first date with Yam Tat-wah.

They went to England to play together, and Sophia Kao went shopping and bought 25 pairs of shoes at one go.

Yam Tat-wah played a hard-working porter. When Sophia Kao selects goods, he is responsible for transporting the shoes he bought back to the hotel first.

After returning to the hotel, Sophia Kao pointed to the shoes and said, This is for mom. That one is for my good friend, and the far one is my own.

Yam Tat-wah looked at Sophia Kao, who was happily packing her shoes, and felt that she was so simple and filial.

After marriage, Yam Tat-wah still regarded Sophia Kao as an angel. He said that he always respected his wife.

Sophia Kao didn't want to have children. She was afraid of losing her figure, so Yam Tat-wah stayed with Dink.

Many years later, Sophia Kao felt that they were both too busy and their home was very deserted. After discussing the idea of having children, Yam Tat-wah was so excited that she burst into tears several times.

After giving birth to her daughter, 50-year-old Yam Tat-wah instantly turned into a crazy girl.

He likes buying real estate and has bought real estate all over the world, including all provinces in Chinese mainland.

These houses were all in his wife's name before. After his daughter was born, he put some of them in her name.

Yam Tat-wah said that his happiest time was to accompany his daughter for dinner, class and class.

20 19, Yam Tat-wah won the best actor award. As soon as he got the trophy, he put it on his daughter's bedside table.

15 After sending his daughter to class at 7 am, he flew to Beijing to continue his work.

This is Yam Tat-wah's happiest moment, not only because she won the prize, but also because she can have breakfast with her daughter before going to work and then send her to school.

After seeing the report of Yam Tat-wah smoking, her daughter will instruct him to stand in the corner for five minutes, and he will obey.

Now my daughter Ren is 16 years old. She completely inherited the advantages of her parents' looks, and her slender legs are very eye-catching.

Although a magazine invited her to be a model when she was very young, Mr. and Mrs. Yam Tat-wah refused.

They just want their daughter to grow up healthily and think nothing else.

Yam Tat-wah doesn't want her daughter to be an actress either. He found the job difficult and didn't want her to be too far away from himself.

In his career, Yam Tat-wah is a well-deserved model worker;

In life, he is a sentient and righteous brother;

In the family, he is the crazy lover of his wife and his daughter.

Yam Tat-wah's wonderful life continues.
