When it comes to the entertainment circle in Hong Kong in the 1990s, we can't avoid those unforgettable actresses in the circle.

Joey Wong, with snow-like skin and eyebrows and eyes that can express feelings; Young and lovely Loretta Lee, laughing and stirring the heartstrings; Athena Chu, the most beautiful Xia Zixian with a gentle smile; And Chingmy Yau, the sexy goddess in red with playing cards.

Among many glamorous, sexy, or smart actresses, Chow Yun Fat stood out in the Hong Kong entertainment circle at that time with her pure and charming temperament.

When I was young, Kathy Zhou was as charming as the name suggests, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes. Once known as the dream lover of all men in Hong Kong.

In addition to being sought after and loved by the audience, Zhou Kaixian's acting career and emotional life have always been a focus of public attention. It can be said that the ups and downs are quite bumpy.

Kathy Zhou was born in a wealthy family. Because her parents were busy with work and didn't have time to take care of her, she was very independent and had the courage to fight hard since she was a child.

1985, Kathy Zhou school is at home on holiday, and dad wants to polish her "boyish" spirit. Secretly signed her up for the Miss Hong Kong Competition.

At first, her father didn't intend to do this, but unexpectedly changed Kathy Zhou's life. Since then, she has stepped into the entertainment circle.

Because Kathy Zhou's "savage" character does not meet the noble temperament required by Miss Hong Kong, she lost the election before entering the final. Then enter the first phase of the wireless artist training class.

Soon, Kathy Chow got a chance to perform in Yang Jiajiang. It was not until she started to work that she realized that although there were infinite scenery in front of the actors, there were more hardships behind them.

In order to adapt to the high-intensity work rhythm of TVB, she often stays up for three or four days, which is really unbearable. She asked the director for leave to go home and take a bath to refresh herself. After taking a shower, she dare not close her eyes as soon as she is free, for fear of sleeping to death. She can only force herself to recite her lines with her eyes open.

Even if we can call it a day, it will be two or three in the morning. I'm exhausted after a day's work. I can only sleep in the toilet of the studio, with three chairs in a row.

Kathy CHAU once said with a smile in an interview: Hong Kong actresses in the 1990s all had dark circles under their eyes because everyone had to stay up late at work.

Pay and gain are equal, and Kathy Zhou soon ushered in the first climax of her career.

1986 Kathy Zhou participated in the TV series "Rogue Tycoon", which successfully detonated the Hong Kong and mainland markets at that time. This TV series created a positive and vivid image of the Hong Kong police, and then Hong Kong gangster films entered the mainland market.

Kathy CHAU was young and smart in the play, and his performance crushed the protagonist Carina Lau, leaving a deep impression on the audience and becoming one of the young Hua Dan strongly advocated by TVB at that time.

While the iron is hot, you need to be hard. She has performed many works with high ratings and good reputation, such as I can't tolerate my feelings, I have no regrets in this life, and the roaring arrow and the roaring sand.

Film appointments and advertisements continue, and wherever she goes, she is the focus of media follow-up. From 1990 to 1993, she was rated as "the most popular actress in Hong Kong" for three consecutive years. At that time, the limelight was the same and the scenery was infinite.

All this did not make Kathy Zhou complacent and complacent.

She knows that TVB has cooperated with Deric Wan, Liming and other first-line stars in recent years, but TVB's image setting is also very fixed, and it is inseparable from the drama "Good Girl", and her heart is gradually surging because she doesn't want to be defined.

She thought it was time to start her own business again, so after the contract with TVB expired, she chose to leave.

To Kathy Zhou's surprise, after leaving TVB, her career suddenly fell to the bottom. For nearly two years, she hasn't received any job.

At the most embarrassing time, even the rent can't be paid normally.

Although life has its ups and downs, it is normal to have ups and downs. But this sudden dilemma still made Kathy difficult to digest on Monday. She often hides in the house and cries alone, feeling at a loss about the future.

Kathy Zhou didn't give up because of this. She knows that the trough is not terrible. The terrible thing is that when you are at the bottom, you lose the heart to rebound.

She plucked up her courage and shuttled between Hongkong and Taiwan Province Province, hoping to find a way out.

During the trip, she caught the attention of director Tsui Hark, saying that Tsui Hark can bring out the best in women. Kathy Zhou is very excited. She thinks the opportunity has come.

Unexpectedly, on the way back to Hong Kong, she suffered a car accident, which caused her to be unable to speak normally for more than a year, and she recovered after taking Chinese medicine for more than a year. The cooperation with director Tsui Hark naturally went away.

A car accident not only restored Kathy Zhou to her original shape, but also made the situation worse. During her recovery, Kathy Zhou continued to be patient and waited for her own opportunity.

God will not be unkind to those who work hard. Yang Peipei, a gold medal producer in Taiwan Province Province, noticed Kathy Zhou.

Yang Peipei was called a critical eye by the media. In this critical eye, he stepped out of Anita Yuen, Richie Jen, Ruby Lin and other stars. When she first met Cathy Chow, she knew that Cathy Chow was a "good girl". Unfortunately, Cathy Chow's "biting" was more attractive.

The two hit it off and co-produced several TV series. Ma Jingtao's classic "Eternal Dragon Slayer" has attracted the most attention from the audience.

Kathy Zhou is only the second female in the play and a villain, but this "bad woman" is handled properly by her and her acting skills are remarkable. Before blackening, she was pure and lovely, beautiful and refined; After blackening, it is charming and attractive, and the gas field is fully open.

Her appearance is so beautiful that even if she is the devil in the play, the audience can not only hate her, but also have more sympathy and love for her.

Jin Yong, who has always been aloof, was very satisfied with Zhou Zhiruo played by Kathy Zhou, and even expressed his love for her without reservation.

Jin Yong lamented: If I had known that Zhou Zhiruo would be played by her, I should have arranged for Zhou Zhiruo and Zhang Wuji to be together when I wrote this book.

Jin Yong even took out his autographed novels in exchange for her photo album. The recognition of this "Zhou Zhiruo" is evident.

Kathy Zhou's career reached its peak again, and her position in the entertainment circle was established. After so many years, Kathy Chow is still the most beautiful "Zhou Zhiruo" in the eyes of the audience.

In her career, Kathy Zhou dared to fight and dare to rush, and she also let go of her feelings.

1985, shooting "Island Storm" by wireless boot. Lv Liangwei met Kathy Chow for the first time on the set. He was attracted by his big eyes and delicate facial features. He stared at it for a long time before coming to his senses. Lv Liangwei found herself falling in love at first sight.

At that time, Lv Liangwei was already an "old man" in the circle, studying acting.

Kathy CHAU, on the other hand, is a newcomer and will inevitably misunderstand the director's meaning when shooting. Lv Liangwei was "scheming" at the right time, giving her some advice to help her broaden her mind and get into the role as soon as possible, and they soon became friends.

At the end of the filming of "Crysis", Lv Liangwei was worried that she would never have a chance to express her feelings again, so she specially arranged many friends' parties.

Friends deliberately heckled and asked them what their relationship was. Lv Liangwei pretended to be serious and said, "Boyfriend and girlfriend!"

Kathy Zhou was startled. He grabbed Lv Liangwei by the corner and said, "When did I become your girlfriend?" Lv Liangwei replied seriously: Not now, but soon.

She suddenly blushed and was at a loss, and her two hearts slowly leaned together in a joke.

At that time, Kathy Zhou was just a little girl who had just made her debut. Lv Liangwei debuted for many years and appeared in many works.

Li Ding, played on the beach, is deeply rooted in people's hearts. To the outside world, they don't match, thinking that she is consuming Lv Liangwei.

Kathy Zhou was born brave. She was not bothered by public opinion, but generously admitted her love affair with Lv Liangwei. After falling in love for four years, the two married secretly in Las Vegas, USA.

It is said that love is based on imagination and marriage is based on the endurance of reality.

The two-year relationship broke up quickly after entering the marriage, and finally did not escape from life.

Lv Liangwei's father is ill and needs someone to take care of him. At that time, Kathy Zhou was only 23 years old. She has been spoiled since childhood and can't take care of others. Besides, at that time, her career was on the rise and she had no time to take care of her family, which made Lv Liangwei, a traditional man, very disappointed.

Two people began to quarrel constantly, and after a long time, they got tired of this life. After a calm discussion, I decided to break up.

After breaking up, Kathy Zhou did not show her dissatisfaction with Lv Liangwei in front of the media, but generously praised the other party: "He is very nice, like a big brother". It can be seen that she treats feelings, dares to love, knows how to stop losses in time, and never delays.

After leaving, she met Wu, a wealthy businessman.

Under Wu's persistent pursuit, the two fell in love. My career is in full swing, and I have an enviable relationship. Everything looks so beautiful.

It seems that God is jealous of Kathy Chow's success and has played an unfriendly joke on her.

Kathy Zhou found that she began to appear erythema. At first, she didn't care. Later, there were more and more erythema. She went to the hospital for examination and was diagnosed with lupus erythematosus. At that time, she was filming "Crossing the Ocean" in the crew and had to stop working for treatment.

After discovering that she was ill in Kathy, her lover Wu also became cold to her. She never pestered love, and their relationship ended.

At that time, Kathy Zhou lost her health, career, and finally love. These situations have hit her hard, so she can only choose to hide, treat and cure quietly.

In the next few years, she retired due to illness, and the media rarely caught her news again.

Now we can still see Kathy Zhou in some film and television works. However, the frequency of receiving plays dropped significantly. Kathy Zhou admits that the job is not entirely suitable for her.

In her spare time, she will stay at home in Beijing to take care of flowers and plants. She has three golden retriever, and her yard is full of vegetables and flower beds.

On 20 18, Kathy Zhou, who is out on business occasionally, was invited to play the teacher of extinction in the new version of "Eternal Dragon Slayer", and netizens teased that "time is a knife to kill pigs, and once Zhou Zhiruo became a teacher of extinction".

She smiled and responded: I am 54 years old, so I can't be old. Only when it is revealed in the conversation that it has been washed away can it be peaceful and indifferent.

When I was a child, Kathy Chow was like the hot summer sun. The weather is hot and nice. I dare to fight and love, and I don't waste my time.

Now she is no longer young, more like the warm wind in spring, gentle and quiet, not to entangle herself, but also learned to be indifferent.

After more than 30 years of stumbling, Kathy Zhou found a suitable attitude towards life, stopped clinging to love and learned to pay attention to her inner feelings.

Isn't this a kind of life wisdom gained after experiencing prosperity and vicissitudes?
