Andy Lau’s childhood life is destined to become a superstar in the future
September 27, 1961, was a very ordinary day. People will not deliberately recall what significance that day brought to history. However, it was on such an ordinary day that Andy Lau was born in a rural area with the place name "Dabu" far away from the bustling city. His first loud cry when he came into the world brought a bit of surprise to this farmer's family, which already had three girls. It could be seen from their happy faces that the continuation of the incense was exactly what they expected. Even if there is no preference for boys over girls, it is natural for them to have three girls and want to have a boy. Looking at the swaddled baby's big, sparkling eyes and unusually high nose, the elders gave him the auspicious name Liu Furong, and later changed his name to Andy Lau. Farmers do not have lofty and extravagant expectations. They only think that when they grow up, they can bring some happiness and honor to this ordinary family, nothing more. What is unimaginable is that this smart and cute little boy will bring huge impact and influence to this family, Hong Kong, Macao, mainland China and Asia again and again as he develops brilliantly in the future. This is something to talk about later.
Andy Lau once introduced his childhood like this: I was born in a rural area called Dabu, far away from the city. My grandfather has been engaged in farming for many generations, and his family is quite prosperous. Before the age of six, I often chased birds in the mountains and wild fields of Tai Po and caught pheasants in the wilds. During this period of my childhood, I lived a happy and carefree life.
However, this memorable new year's life took a turn prematurely because of his father's wish to make a fortune.
Most of Andy Lau's ancestors were engaged in farming, but his father didn't want to be like this forever... So his father took the first step to challenge his own destiny, with His wife and children moved to the foot of Diamond Mountain in Kowloon. It can be seen that Andy Lau's father is a courageous and responsible man who does not bow to reality and dares to venture into the world! Facts have proved that it was his courage and courage at that time that made Andy Lau a king. Created opportunities. I think Andy Lau has to thank his father for this.
I don’t know if it’s because Diamond Hill has good feng shui or because Andy Lau’s father really has business potential. After coming to Diamond Hill, he started running groceries. As expected, the business of the shop and the ice room was booming. As a result, the family was naturally short of manpower, and the children became the adults' helpers. At that time, the Liu family had six children. Although Andy was the fourth, he was the eldest among the boys. Although he was at the age where he loved to have fun, the sensible Andy couldn't bear to see his father working too hard and became his father's biggest helper!
Since he was in the catering industry, the conditions at that time were difficult! It was quite simple, and it was impossible to install running water in the store. You had to go to the well to fetch water and pull it back. So this kind of hard work naturally fell to Andy Lau, a little "man".
Andy Lau once. This is how I described those difficult days...I think I have been very busy since I was a child. When I was about seven years old, I started to work at 4 o'clock in the morning. We were selling porridge and fried noodles. I eat breakfast before going to work. There is no water in the store, so we have to get up at 4 o'clock to get water. We also have a grocery store at home, and I can't start doing my homework until 10 o'clock after school. Finished in half an hour, went to bed before 1 or 2 o'clock, and slept for 4 hours. It can be seen that Andy Lau has indeed been a busy person since he was a child, and it is also very hard. It is under the experience of this environment that Andy has developed a hard-working attitude. With his hard-working spirit, he later became a model worker in the entertainment industry, a representative of the hard-working spirit! In fact, many people like Andy Lau not only because of his good songs and good-looking movies, but also because of his endless fighting spirit. , this positive energy infection inspires most of us!
There is a job in the store that interests him so much that it has become a daily expectation. This job has a great impact on his future career. It has profoundly affected his entire life. This job that interests him the most is delivering food to the stars at the Kin Shing Studio.
There is a Kin Shing Studio not far from the Liu Family Ice Room at the foot of Diamond Mountain. Popular and not-so-popular artists often come and go there. Therefore, the Liu Family Ice Room has naturally become a leisure place for actors and staff. They eat here and talk about fashionable topics inside and outside the industry, which makes Andy Lau feel more novel. . Unfortunately, most of the people who frequent the Liu Family Ice Room are young actors.
I don’t know whether it’s because I can’t save my dignity or because I’m worried about losing my status, but it’s rare to see popular celebrities in the ice room. Of course, celebrities also need to eat and drink, and their way of eating is to order takeout.
Deep down in Andy Lau’s heart, he really wants to deliver takeaways to celebrities! Because delivering takeaways to celebrities allows him to see the stars up close and see with his own eyes what the dream world on TV is like. How was it photographed? He once described it this way: Every time he goes to the set, it is like entering the Grand View Garden. He is curious and fresh and always wants to take a stroll. "When they put on costumes, they are people from another world, but when they take off costumes, they are people from another world.
"I remember one time, my father asked me to send a pair of mahjong to him. I was sent to the studio by Zhang Ying, but when I saw Mr. Zhang and his party of four sitting in front of the mahjong table and talking loudly, their expressions and dialogue were exactly the same as those in the TV series. I stopped at that time, for fear that there were cameras nearby, and I thought that what was happening in front of me was Each scene is a play, and I, I am the worker responsible for delivering the props.
It can be seen from these narrations of Andy Lau! The little boy who stood on tiptoe hoping for the opportunity to deliver food to the set, although he did not realize it at the time, these experiences of delivering food will be his future. The foundation of his career, but the interesting scenes on the set are already "moistening things silently", and every bit of them is seeping into his heart. From then on, he gradually began to have dreams, visions, and a feeling of wanting to spread his wings and fly. It was this "feeling" that allowed him to enter the entertainment industry many years later. This should be regarded as his indissoluble bond with the literary and artistic career.
In Andy Lau's memory, their family was Those days in Diamond Mountain were tense, busy and warm. The scene of the whole family working together to start a business left an indelible mark on his heart. This kind of training forged his will and laid the foundation for his diligence. His persistent perseverance also deepened his simple thoughts and feelings for ordinary people.
