"Model Dad" Andy Lau: He hired 4 bodyguards and 3 nannies for his daughter, spending 410,000 yuan a month

Looking at China's entertainment industry, apart from Andy Lau, there are no artists who have been popular from youth to old age, participated in more than 100 movies, had almost zero negative news in their acting career, and have a fan base spanning three generations. Second person.

Andy Lau, once one of the four kings of Hong Kong, is an all-round artist, good at singing and dancing, and his concerts are sold out. The acting skills are also top-notch, and the characters are accurately portrayed, and every gesture gives the audience a strong sense of involvement, such as the rooftop showdown with Tony Leung in "Infernal Affairs", the aura of the drug dealer leader Lin Kun in "The Disciple", and 83 Yang Guo, who is both good and evil in the classic version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

As a model worker in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, Andy Lau travels to major studios all year round and has almost no life of his own. As a high-quality idol, Andy Lau rarely mentions his marriage and family in public, leaving fans with unlimited room for imagination. It's just that he kept a secret. Even if he kept himself clean, he couldn't avoid the extreme behavior of crazy fans. Although the Yang Lijuan incident was not directly related to Andy Lau, it undoubtedly gave him a blow to the head when he was in the ascendant.

Andy Lau recalled the damage caused to him by the "Yang Lijuan Incident". During that time, he almost did not dare to go out. He once suffered from depression and could not eat, so he had to seek help from a psychiatrist. During the period when he stopped working, he finally had time to do some in-depth self-analysis and began to consider whether he needed to disclose his marital status to avoid similar incidents from happening again.

On August 29, 2009, Andy Lau finally plucked up the courage to admit to the public the fact that he and Zhu Liqian were married, saying that their "underground love affair" had lasted for 23 years. Two years later, in the early morning of November 28, 2011, 50-year-old Andy Lau announced on the self-media that he was going to become a father.

Zhu Liqian was already 3 months pregnant at this time. For advanced mothers, the first three months are crucial, related to whether the fetus can sit firmly, so Andy Lau has kept it secret. After getting through the dangerous period, Andy Lau couldn't hold back his excitement and immediately announced the news to share his joy with all the people who cared and supported him.

Zhu Liqian has been a vegetarian for a long time, and Andy Lau was worried that his child would be malnourished, so he specially invited many health experts to give his wife dietary guidance. He also kept a small book to keep records. During the pregnancy, Liu Tianwang would put his ear on Zhu Liqian's belly every day, talk to the little one, and sing to her. Zhu Liqian was a little jealous when she saw this, saying that if the child was born in the future, her family status would not be guaranteed.

On May 9, 2012, their daughter was born, named Liu Xianghui, known as "Little Dragon Girl". She inherited the advantages of her parents. She has pretty features and fair skin. She is a little girl that everyone loves. Andy Lau is old enough to have a son and a daughter, so naturally he treats her like a treasure and can't put it down. Andy Lau told his wife that he was the luckiest man in the world. He got everything in the first half of his life, and God gave him a child in the second half of his life. He was satisfied.

Seeing his daughter's cute big eyes looking at him, her long eyelashes flickering, and her babbling "baby talk" in her mouth, this man who was used to big scenes melted. , instantly became a "daughter slave". He told his assistant to put down all the activities he could do. All he wanted to do was to quietly stay by his daughter's side and watch her grow up healthily and happily.

In order to protect his wife and daughter from the annoying paparazzi harassment, Andy Lau spent 200 million to buy a villa with a quiet environment. There are 14 air purifiers placed in the villa and they are turned on 24 hours a day.

For more than a month, Andy Lau, who has always been non-stop, was pressed by his daughter to press the pause button and stayed at home to watch over the mother and daughter. He transformed into Chef Liu and learned to cook various postpartum meals. Since his wife was a vegetarian, he changed his ways to cook delicious vegetarian dishes, such as Donglin Shangyu, Garden Vegetable Fried Rice, and Mushroom Noodles. Full of color, flavor and rich nutrition. Because his craftsmanship was so good, Andy Lau himself ate deliciously and gradually fell in love with vegetarian food.

Most first-time parents are cautious, not to mention Andy Lau, who has had children for a long time. When it comes to parenting, he is completely blank slate after he has passed the age of "knowing destiny" and needs to learn it all over again. Andy Lau bought a large number of parenting books to supplement his parenting knowledge. When encountering problems, he would also seek advice from friends with children around him.

As the King of Hong Kong, Andy Lau can be said to have a huge fortune and cannot find any nanny or confinement nanny, but he prefers to do it himself, because this daughter is the treasure in his palm and he would not trust anyone else.

His daughter wanted to breastfeed in the middle of the night. Not to mention crying, but just a slight movement, Andy Lau suddenly stood up, picked up the bottle beside the bed at lightning speed and stuffed it into his daughter's mouth. inside, for fear that my daughter would be hungry for a second longer. During the day, he would play soft music next to his daughter's bed, and he would also hum songs to make her laugh. He doesn't feel it's hard at all to pay for his daughter, because as long as he can see his daughter's healing smile, a warm current will flow from the bottom of Andy's heart, which is sweeter than eating honey.

Three months have passed, and Zhu Liqian persuaded Andy Lau to resume work. Although Andy Lau is reluctant to give up, he must also be responsible to the fans who love him and start filming new movies.

Before departure, Andy Lau spent a lot of money to equip his mother and daughter with four bodyguards and three nannies to take care of the family's safety, food and daily living, and then he left with peace of mind. Just to hire bodyguards and nannies costs NT$1.8 million per month, which is equivalent to RMB 410,000 per month. Andy Lau, who has always been known for his frugality, is willing to spend a lot of money for his daughter, even breaking the "personality" that he has been operating for many years. This heavy fatherly love is really touching.

In Andy Lau's later work, as long as the crew was not filming all night, Andy Lau would go home to visit his daughter no matter how late it was. Liu Xianghui is Andy Lau's mental nitrogen pump. No matter how tired he is from filming, as long as he sees his daughter's smile, this man will immediately become energetic and burst out with unlimited energy. Liu's friends all jokingly call Andy Lau a typical "kangaroo dad" who can't wait to carry his daughter with him in his pocket.

In Andy Lau's past films, he often played villainous roles and made dirty remarks. But since he had his daughter, Andy Lau is not very willing to take on the role of a villain. The reason is that he doesn't want to curse. When he thinks of his lovely daughter, he can't open his mouth to curse. When filming the drama "My Grandpa," directed by Sammo Hung, Andy Lau, as the "bad dad" in the drama, had an insulting line that just didn't feel right no matter how he said it. Director Sammo Hung asked him, how could you say such a simple sentence in such a bad way? Andy Lau smiled bitterly and said: "There is 'bad girl' (a term used to curse women in Hong Kong) in the line, and I can't say it out loud."

Andy Lau loves his daughter so much that he not only carries her daughter's photos and mobile phone with him, My photo albums and screensavers are also filled with my daughter. People's happiness needs to be shared, and the King of Heaven is no exception. At a fan meeting in 2014, Andy Lau passed on his mobile phone screen saver to fans for appreciation. Fans praised Liu Xianghui for having a tall nose and big eyes, just like Andy Lau, and she will definitely be a beautiful woman in the future. Andy Lau was so beautiful in his heart that he was more happy to praise himself than others and sang a song on the spot to give back to the fans.

In September 2015, Liu Xianghui turned 3 years old and entered kindergarten to start collective life. Andy Lau had mixed feelings. While lamenting how time flies, he was also worried that his daughter would not be able to adapt to kindergarten life. For this reason, he specially requested 10 days of leave from the company, got up early every day to prepare nutritious meals for his daughter, and personally picked her up and dropped her off. After his daughter comes home, he will read picture books and play with her. Chow Yun-fat went to Andy Lau's house as a guest, and when he saw Liu's daughter being a slave, he joked: "Now she has become your burden. I think you have no intention of filming anymore." Andy Lau said proudly: "What a sweet burden."< /p>

Andy Lau dotes on his daughter, but he does not just dote on her. He had the capital to make Liu Xianghui a rich lady with clothes on her hands and food on her hands, but she still took the trouble to teach her daughter to put on her own clothes, put on her shoes, and tidy her room. Andy Lau believes that girls should be more self-reliant and should not develop the bad habit of relying on others for everything. Only when they live an independent life can their personality be independent and they can truly pursue what they want.

Under Andy Lau's words and deeds, Liu Xianghui developed good conduct and has extremely high overall quality. She can speak fluent Cantonese and Mandarin at a young age, has a certain foundation in painting, calligraphy, and music, and has won many awards in relevant competitions. Liu Xianghui is still a child who dresses simply and never compares with other children on famous brands. She doesn't stand out at all in a crowd. This is also related to Andy Lau's tutor who never shows off his wealth in a high-profile way.

Since having a daughter, people around Andy Lau have felt that the once fearless Liu has become cautious. He, who had never used a stunt double in filming in the past, began to be afraid. The birth of his daughter seemed to activate a certain nerve in Andy Lau that had been buried in dust.

In 2017, Andy Lau was injured after falling from a horse while filming in Thailand. For a 56-year-old man, this fall really cost him half his life. In the hospital, when Andy Lau heard the doctor saying that he might be paralyzed in the future, fear and despair engulfed him like a huge wave. Andy Lau is not worried about himself, but worried that after he collapses, his beloved wife and daughter will have no support. Fortunately, there was no danger in the end. After more than 2 months of rehabilitation training in the hospital, Andy Lau stood up again.

When "A Date with Lu Yu" interviewed Andy Lau, Lu Yu asked him about his injuries when he fell from a horse. Andy Lau said: "After my daughter was born, I began to worry about things that I had never worried about before. I was afraid of car accidents when driving, and I was afraid of air crashes when flying. I would be particularly nervous even when I was hanging out at concerts in the past. My daughter is me My baby is also my weakness. I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of not being able to see my daughter." It is hard to imagine this "Desperate Saburo" who suffered numerous injuries, because his daughter finally transformed into a mortal.

At Andy Lau's 56th birthday party, he generously shared the stage with his wife and daughter, thanking his fans for their understanding and support over the years and for never leaving him. The scene also showed footage of Andy Lau falling from a horse in Thailand and receiving rehabilitation physiotherapy in the hospital. People screamed when they saw their idol falling from a horse, and they burst into warm applause and laughter when they saw the warm interaction between their family of three in the ward. Happy laughter.

In the picture, Andy Lau is undergoing rehabilitation training with the help of Zhu Liqian. Liu Xianghui is also giving her father a leg massage. The family is talking and laughing. The picture is warm, sweet and touching. At this time, Andy Lau does not belong to hundreds of millions of fans, but only to the family he loves deeply and uses all his strength to defend and protect.

Andy Lau is a superstar, but he never has the airs of a superstar. No matter what the event is, he will always stand in the C position, not because he thinks he has the biggest wrist, but because he wants everyone in the frame to be on camera. He understands that photographers will always take pictures with him as the center. If he stands crookedly, the person on the other side will be in the picture. In Andy Lau's heart, only by respecting others can you gain respect from others.

The same is true in life. Andy Lau never wraps himself up tightly. He will always take the trouble to meet the reasonable demands of his fans. Whenever the country is in trouble, he will always lend a helping hand, including money and effort.

In Andy Lau's heart, he is just an ordinary person, an ordinary father. He and Zhu Liqian would attend his daughter's parent-teacher meetings and every parent-child sports meeting on time. Andy Lau encouraged his daughter to have the courage to fight, dare to compete, and try her best to win. Even if she fails, she will not leave any regrets. When his daughter is running on the runway in sportswear, Andy Lau will be in the audience waving flags and cheering for her. In Andy Lau's eyes, the runway under his daughter's feet is the path of her life. Watching his daughter grow up day by day, the corners of the old father's eyes become moist.

Lu Yu asked Andy Lau, if someone created a movie for you, what kind of ending would you want? Andy Lau was silent for a while and said with a hint of bitterness: "Maybe... on the day of my daughter's wedding." In every father's heart, his daughter is his lifelong concern. On the day of his daughter's wedding, when he safely hands her daughter's hand to another In the hands of a man, the father's mission comes to an end, but this day is also the most "painful" day for the father who marries his daughter.

Andy Lau is 61 years old this year. The focus of his future life will definitely return to his daughter and family. Liu Xianghui is already 10 years old and it is time to enter the fourth grade of elementary school. Many people will envy her, envy that she has a father who is a high-quality national idol, envy that her father loves her like this and accompanies her to grow up. It is undeniable that a girl is lucky. What she has when she is born is more than what most people can get in a lifetime. However, growing up in the spotlight, she is destined to lose the privacy and freedom of an ordinary girl, and she may not be a normal girl. What a blessing.

The autumn wind is ruthless, blowing fallen leaves all over the ground; the flowing water is ruthless, like ripples in winter.

Time is ruthless and idols will eventually grow old, but the spirit inherited by high-quality idols is deeply ingrained in the hearts of every fan. Andy Lau taught people to always be in awe, work seriously, be low-key, care about everyone around you, and leave the strongest love to your family. After all, only home is the harbor of life.
