[Watch China, October 18, 2023](Watch China reporter Li Huaiju’s comprehensive report) Hong Kong actor Chow Yun-fat won the “Asian Filmmaker Award” at the Busan International Film Festival in South Korea on the 4th of this month. Recently, he visited a civilian restaurant in Hong Kong. After the video was uploaded to the mainland social platform by netizens, some people left a message expressing shock: “How can a star of this level in the mainland have 10 bodyguards around him?” Unexpectedly, Fa Ge was wearing ordinary sportswear, only with A friend was traveling with him, and as an actor, he had to “set up a table” (share a table) with other diners in the restaurant!

Chow Yun-fat, 68, recently won the “Asian Filmmaker Award” at the Busan International Film Festival in South Korea. It is rumored that Fa Ge intends to donate 5.6 billion (approximately US$718 million) of his net worth. In an interview with the media, he talked about his wife Chen Huilian’s decision, saying with a smile, “It’s not me who wants to donate, it’s my wife’s decision. I don’t want to donate either. It’s all my hard-earned money.”
Chow Yun-fat and Chen Huilin have been married for 37 years and can be called a model couple in the film industry. He said that his wife was his agent, and he had to receive several thousand Hong Kong dollars of pocket money from her every month.
He believes that life is actually very simple, and two bowls of rice a day are enough. I will have nothing in the next life, and I will be empty-handed when I leave. Money is an external possession, so take it to anyone who needs it!
Fa Ge is not only open-minded in his ideas, but also lives a low-key life that is close to the people. On the 16th, a netizen posted a short video saying, “I ran into Chow Yun-fat on the streets of Sham Shui Po. He is so enthusiastic.”
In the film, Chow Yun-fat appears in a classic black shirt and black pants hiking outfit. It seems that he is going to eat after morning exercise, and there is a boyfriend who is accompanying him. After Fa Ge and his friends entered the restaurant, some diners greeted him. The other people in the restaurant looked very normal and did not show the excitement and excitement of seeing the big star at all.
At that time, the waiter sister was clearing the table. Chow Yun-fat and his friends sat down in a corner and “set up the table” with two other diners who were dining. Chow Yun-fat didn’t seem to mind at all and didn’t show any dissatisfaction.
After the video was uploaded to mainland social platforms, many mainland netizens marveled at it: First of all, as an actor, Chow Yun-fat didn’t mind visiting a street shop and eating with ordinary citizens whose social status was far lower than him. Secondly, the diners and waiters in the store behaved very calmly. No one screamed, watched, or asked for autographs or photos.
Some mainland netizens left a message saying, “A star of this level in the Mainland must have 10 bodyguards around him”, and he must be dressed in famous brands from head to toe, showing airs and pomp; if he sees reporters or citizens taking random photos on the street, he must be surrounded by The bodyguards will definitely come out to stop him. I didn’t expect Chow Yun-fat to be so approachable. Some people commented in praise, “Live in a state where you look down on fame and fortune and treat yourself as an ordinary passerby. Most celebrities really can’t do this.”
Some mainland netizens said, “I also met (Fa Ge) once on the subway. He was really easy-going. I said hello and didn’t take a photo with him…”
People living in Hong Kong all know that Chow Yun-fat, the movie king, has no star pretensions at all. He likes sports and often hikes and runs. Like ordinary people, he takes the subway, patronizes street shops, and goes to the wet market (vegetable market) to buy food. If a citizen asks for a photo, he will not refuse them and will even take the initiative to take a selfie with his mobile phone.

The incident also attracted attention in the Hong Kong discussion forum. Many Hong Kong netizens said that they often see celebrities in restaurants, but they would not harass them because celebrities are also human beings and they need private space. It would be very rude if you treat them as human beings and rush over to check in like crazy. If you really want to take a group photo, be sure to get the other person’s permission.
Moreover, a restaurant is a place for business. If many people line up around a celebrity to take photos, it will not only disturb the celebrity, but also affect the restaurant’s business, so keeping quiet is in the best interest of all parties. “I bumped into Fa Ge and didn’t even want to disturb him.”
Another Hong Kong netizen said, “I used to go to Amway to eat ‘sliced pork belly’. When I saw Ekin Cheng and his wife, they also set up a table to eat. They said hello and ate separately. There was no fuss.”
Some netizens also compare Chow Yun-fat with the American Chilo Reeves (Keanu Reeves). Both of them have the aura of a superstar, but they do not have the airs of a superstar. They are humble, friendly and helpful. Perhaps because both of them have given up the trap of fame and fortune, they can live so calmly, carefree and freely.
