Jinyang. com reporter Fu Yi

Affected by Typhoon Ai Yunni on the 4th this year, heavy rain fell all over Guangdong Province. On the afternoon of the 8th, the reporter learned from the Guangdong Provincial Fire Corps that as of 7: 00 on the 8th, six red rainstorm warning signals were hoisted in Guangdong, including Foshan, Zhuhai, Zhongshan, Zhaoqing, Yunfu and Yangjiang. From 0: 00 on June 6th to 11: 00 on the 8th, the province’s fire forces received 172 flood fighting and rescue reports, and dispatched 845 fire engines, 19 assault boats (boats) and 1,218 firefighters, evacuating and rescuing 1,504 trapped people, with no casualties.

Yunfu: The chicken farm exit was flooded by the river, and 38 people were trapped.

On the evening of the 7th, due to continuous rainfall, the river surged, and the only small bridge communicating with the outside world in a chicken farm in Liuzu Town, Xinxing County, Yunfu City was flooded by the river, causing 38 people to be trapped in the chicken farm.

Yunfu Xinxing Fire Department received an order from the police at 19: 50, and immediately dispatched 2 fire engines and 13 officers and men to the scene at 20: 12, and quickly launched rescue and disposal. At that time, the river was nearly 50 meters wide and the water was rushing. Seven fire officers and soldiers ventured into the trapped chicken farm in two batches. In the face of the rising river, fire officers and soldiers finally decided to rescue each other one by one. At one o’clock in the morning of June 8, after more than four hours of efforts by emerging fire officers and soldiers, all the trapped people were safely rescued.

Shaoguan: The bus flooded, trapping 23 students.

At 7: 45 on the 8th,  Ruyuan Fire Department received an order from the Fire Department 119 Command Center that a bus in Ruyuan County was turned off due to too deep water on the road, and 23 students (no college entrance examination candidates) were trapped.

After receiving the alarm, Ruyuan Fire immediately dispatched a fire truck and seven combatants to the scene for disposal. Arriving at the scene at 7: 48, the fire commander, after understanding the surrounding situation, asked the fire driver to drive the multifunctional city main battle fire truck to a suitable position, and then towed the bus to a safe area, successfully rescuing all the trapped passengers.

Zhaoqing: The road leading to the test center was flooded, and the fire truck rubber boat came to take the test.

At 6: 50 on the 8th, the fire department of Zhaoqing City received an alarm that the road leading to the examination room of No.2 Middle School in Gaoyao District was flooded, which affected more than 200 invigilators and candidates to enter the examination room. Gao Yao responded quickly to the fire, immediately launched emergency rescue measures, dispatched more than 40 fire officers and soldiers, and mobilized 5 fire engines and 3 rubber boats to rescue. Fire officers and soldiers picked up the trapped teachers and students along the street leading to the test sites and quickly sent them to the examination room. None of the candidates missed the test, and the college entrance examination papers were safely sent to the examination room.

Zhuhai: The construction site became an island and more than 200 workers were trapped.

At 7: 32 on the 8th, the fire department of Zhuhai received an alarm from the masses: more than 200 people were trapped at the Nanwan Garden site of Coral Sea in Sanzao Age, Jinwan District. Sanzao Firefighters quickly dispatched 3 fire engines and 15 commanders to the scene for disposal. After arriving at the site, I saw a piece of Wang Yang at the site, and the flood depth was waist-deep, completely isolating the construction site from the residential area, forming an isolated island. After on-site investigation, the fire commander quickly set up two search and rescue teams to transport the trapped people to the safe area in batches. After more than five hours of rescue, 21 batches of more than 200 trapped people were successfully transported to a safe area, and no one was injured.

As of press time, fire officers and soldiers all over the province are still struggling in the front line of rescue.

Chinese restaurants and tea restaurants in Britain and overseas Chinese food are the right thing to do.

The taste of Chinese restaurants in Britain has changed from the traditional Cantonese flavor to the Hong Kong flavor. Especially in China City, the center of London, there are hundreds of very good Chinese restaurants, all of which can basically cook authentic Cantonese food, as well as dazzling hot "Cantonese dim sum", and Cantonese-style porridge with different flavors is also available. Overseas Chinese food seems to have the right style.

Afternoon Tea, Tea Restaurant and Hong Kong Pavilion

Author: Zhou Songfang

After Chinese arrived in England, he was not used to the food itself, but also to the time and way of eating. Chinese gets up early and goes to bed early, and has three meals a day, but Britain gets up early and goes to bed late, and it is divided into four or five meals. Students are no exception, and international students can only do as the Romans do. Some international students wrote down the meal schedule at that time:

As a rule, I get up at about 7: 30, and have breakfast after 8: 00. The food is milk cereal, ham and eggs, bread jam, cheese and tea. The earliest class time starts at 9: 00, and it is customary for British people to have lunch around 1: 00 pm, so the latest class time in the morning is from 12: 00 to 1: 00. In the afternoon, classes are held from 2: 00 to 5: 00, and about 5: 00 is Teatime for English people. English tea is eaten regularly (from 4: 00 to 5: 00, it is called High Tea), and it must be accompanied by bread jam, milk oil, cake cheese and fruit. We regard it as a meal, or at least it should be called refreshment. In the past, this kind of habit was only used by middle-class families, but it has been popular in the general society in recent decades. Although the food materials are different, few people don’t eat tea. Self-study time for students after tea. Dinner is served at about 9 o’clock, and the food is usually simpler than lunch, probably a cold dish, bread and cream, cheese and fruit and a few biscuits. After dinner, you can talk freely, or read soft words, or listen to the radio and phonograph. The usual bedtime is around eleven o’clock.

From this point of view, English dinner is like our midnight snack, and afternoon tea is like our dinner, and it is also as important as us. There is a saying that can show this degree of attention: "English people are used to having tea at five o’clock in the afternoon as usual." A pot of black tea, two pieces of bread, a plate of snacks and a plate of lettuce. Sometimes add an egg or a small fish. " In Chinese’s view, it’s not grand, but in Britain, "it’s better to be a housewife, and guests must watch a movie or eat China rice as a reward". Invite you to have afternoon tea. You should invite her to a movie or even a China meal, just like inviting someone to a western meal on the beach in the early days. That’s simply too much! Mr. Zhu Ziqing also said:

Europeans eat three meals a day, and the weight is quite different. Like Germany, there is only coffee and bread in the morning and cold food in the evening, only lunch is heavier. In France, coffee, moon cake, lunch and dinner seem to be average in weight. Britain pays equal attention to breakfast and dinner, and its lunch is lighter. Britain pays attention to breakfast, just like Chengdu in China. There are porridge, ham and eggs, bread, tea, and sometimes salted fish and fruit. Lunch is simple, you can just eat a piece of toast and a cup of coffee; Some small restaurants sell lunch boxes, such as cold fish and meat, but no dinner boxes.

However, no matter how much attention is paid to rich afternoon tea, it is afternoon tea after all, and it can’t be compared with dinner or dinner. Therefore, Zhu Ziqing probably regarded China’s "little man" as a "gentleman" in Britain, and thought that they often treated people with cheap and simple afternoon tea instead of expensive dinners: British people drink tea once a day at about 4: 30 pm, with toast and butter. When you invite a tea party, there are naturally other things, such as ham with bread, raw pea seedlings with bread, tea steamed bread and so on. They attach great importance to afternoon tea, which is almost indispensable. You can take this opportunity to treat people, which is much simpler and cheaper than inviting dinner. He also said: English people prefer tea to coffee, contrary to French people; They can’t make coffee well either. Most of the tea we drink now is Indian tea; Although China tea is sold in the tea and rice shop, there are few customers. It certainly has something to do with not allowing the profits to spill over, but it is not conducive to the publicity of China tea (for example, it is not clean when fried), and the main reason is that the tea taste is too weak. Indian tea is thick and bitter, and milk and sugar are just right; China black tea is not strong enough, but it smells good. It is strange that the tea sold in the tea and rice shop is so light in color, smell and fragrance that it is inexplicable how that kind of tea can be shipped out. Actually, that’s right. Tea restaurants focus on rice, tea is not important, what is the taste? Just like drinking tea in Guangdong, it is important to eat, and the taste of tea is not counted; Also like the popular tea restaurant, who knows that it is not from tea restaurants?

Tea restaurants are everywhere in Britain, and they are relatively cheap, so when Zhu Ziqing visited Britain in May and June 1932, he had a lot of experience and many observation records:

There are three cheap tea restaurants: Lyons, Express Milk Room and ABC Bakery. Each family has opened many stores, all over the city and outside; ABC is less and more expensive, and Laaynes is the most. The fried veal, veal liver and braised duck pieces in the express dairy are also delicious; They burn duck pieces with charcoal fire, so it has a China flavor. ABC fried beef liver can also be eaten, but it’s almost impossible to get old in a hurry; The dim sum is well baked, and several of them are comparable to the French bakery in Beiping. There doesn’t seem to be anything outstanding in Laaynes; But there are two "corner shops" in his house, both at the corner of downtown, but there are delicious foods there. The corner shop has two large rooms, one is upper and lower, and the other is three floors and three large rooms, which can accommodate about 1,500 people. There is a band playing in the evening. As soon as I entered, I saw it was dark and full of people. The corridor was narrow enough, but the weather was quite wide (a British student ridiculed it as "the palace of the poor", which might be good); There, I often find and stand for a long time before waiting for an empty seat. All the stores in these three stores use waitresses, but only two corner stores use some waiters-waiters are more expensive. The waiters and waitresses all wore black uniforms, and the women even wore white hats to entertain the guests in layers. Only in corner shops do you have to tip (although the door is marked "no tip"), and there is no need to tip in these three shops elsewhere. I have been to a corner shop, and the roast chicken is still delicious; But a chicken leg is one yuan and fifty cents in China, and it is more expensive to eat chicken wings. Tea restaurants sometimes have dominoes, etc. for guests’ entertainment, but they rarely ask the waiter for fun; Where there are many guests,There are always people waiting for seats, so there is no need to prepare them. In addition, there is an oyster shop, which specializes in oysters and is not cheap; A landlady told me that it was "unsanitary", but there were no fewer people to eat. Eating oysters is not suitable in summer, so the British say that oysters are out of order if the name of the month is not "R" (May, June, July and August).

Through observation, Zhu Ziqing believes that tea restaurants are the true colors and can represent British cooking: "Old city restaurants and tea restaurants are the local flavors. Tea restaurant and frying shop are actually nicknames for small restaurants. The’ rice’ in the tea restaurant originally refers to lunch, but the things sold are not simple, and dinner is full; In addition to frying beef ribs and mutton ribs, the frying shop also sells other things. " There is a kind of sweet sesame cake (Muffin) and Crumpet in the tea and rice shop, which makes Zhu Ziqing never forget:

Sweet sesame seed cake is like our fire, but it has no stuffing, soft and slightly sweet, as if it were made with rice flour. There are many small nests on the cake surface, which are like beehives, relatively thin and like rice noodles. Both of them are about from France; But the sweet biscuits came early, at least 200 years ago. Chefs mostly live in Drury Lane, the place where the famous theater is located. I used to sell it with a plate on my head and a bell in my hand. At that time, people loved to eat, bought them, spread more butter on them, and baked them on the fireplace in the living room or dining room, so that the oil could be soaked in them and bitten off in one bite, or they would get stuck in the quarrel on both sides. This kind of leisure life is very interesting. However, the later Woer cakes were easier to soak in oil, more fragrant, not too thick, too soft, chewy and stylish; People like it gradually, so they buy less sweet biscuits. A lady was sad when she saw this situation, so she wrote to The Times to express her grievances for the sweet biscuits. The Times specially made a small editorial to persuade people to eat sweet biscuits to preserve the ancient style. However, I would rather keep the bad things that the lady said about Woer’s cakes. About that commentator also likes to eat Woer’s cakes.

This kind of English tea restaurant is quite similar to the tea restaurant that rose in Hong Kong later. I wonder if there is any origin between the two, and if so, what kind of origin? Although there are no more materials to explain at present, it is quite intriguing; The influence of Hong Kong diet on Britain increased day by day.

Due to the blockade of the newly established People’s Republic of China (PRC) by the western world, the number of overseas Chinese dropped sharply after 1950s, and it didn’t pick up until 1980s after China’s opening-up and reform. Therefore, the development of overseas Chinese restaurants over the past 30 years has formed a relatively unique form. In 1936, there were more than 8,000 overseas Chinese in Britain, and by 1955, there were only more than 4,000 overseas Chinese, a decrease of half. However, with the influence of the ultra-left trend in the mainland in the 1960s, Hong Kong immigrants joined in one after another, rising to 43,000 in 1971, more than 100,000 in 1981 after the reform and opening up, and reaching 150,000 in the mid-1990s. The same is true of Germany. In the 1930s, there were only over 800 people, and by 1991, there were over 50,000 people. Among them, at the end of December 1986, the Federal Statistical Office of West Germany announced that there were 7730 people from Hong Kong and Southeast Asia who went to Germany to run restaurants.

With the increasing number of overseas Chinese, the number of Chinese restaurants has increased even faster, because the early overseas Chinese had a low starting point and it was difficult to accumulate the original capital for opening restaurants, which was much easier to open than the later immigrants, especially those from Hong Kong. Take Britain as an example. In 1940, there were about 30 Chinese restaurants in Britain, but after the 1950s, 150 Chinese restaurants were opened every year. By the end of 1960s, there were 3,000 Chinese restaurants in Britain. According to its basic composition, the overseas Chinese who were the first to invest in the British Chinese food industry after the war can be divided into the following three categories: the first category is the staff of the former national government in Britain. After Britain recognized People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1950, they made a living and mostly invested in the Chinese food industry; The second category is Chinese immigrants from the former British colonies; The third category is immigrants from Hong Kong, especially the New Territories, who are the most successful. According to a survey, from June 1963 to April 1964, of the 150-200 Chinese restaurants in London, only four were run by overseas Chinese in Singapore and Malaysia, and the rest were run by Hong Kong people. As most of the practitioners come from Hong Kong, Cantonese cuisine is the main dish. In his book "American Overseas Chinese Restaurant Industry" published in 1970, Dr. Chen Benchang said that there were 100,000 overseas Chinese and about 6,000 Chinese restaurants in Britain at that time, and particularly emphasized that "90% of the owners and employees were visitors from the New Territories of Hong Kong in recent years".

Since then, the taste of Chinese restaurants in Britain has changed from the traditional Cantonese flavor to the Hong Kong flavor. Even in the provinces and ports, "food in Hong Kong" has gradually surpassed "food in Guangzhou". Thanks to the contribution of Hong Kong people, China restaurants in Britain finally got rid of the suspicion of chop suey and surpassed American chop suey. When a scholar went to Harvard University in the United States to attend a short course one year, the school took good care of them and arranged for them to eat in a Chinese restaurant called Dashenglou. For twenty days in a row, there were only a few dishes, and there was no change. Almost all the dishes were sweet and creamy, and there were still many fried foods. There was absolutely no hot soup. Everyone had a large glass of cold ice water, which really hurt people and ate them every day. Relatively speaking, Chinese food in London is very delicious, especially in China City, the center of London, where there are hundreds of very good Chinese restaurants, all of which can basically cook authentic Cantonese food, dazzling hot "Cantonese dim sum" and Cantonese-style porridge with different flavors. Because of the development of the catering industry and the status of Hong Kong practitioners, a restaurant owner named Deng Zhuting from the New Territories of Hong Kong was also honored as the president of the Chinatown Chamber of Commerce in London and the overseas consultant of the China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, and was invited to attend the National Day ceremony in Beijing many times. Overseas Chinese food seems to have the right style.

In addition, in the process of independence, a large number of Chinese immigrants from British colonies in Southeast Asia, such as Singapore, brought with them the flavor of Southeast Asia, adding to the charm of London Chinatown. Although the number of overseas Chinese in London Chinatown decreased from 1,000 to 200 in 1946, it did not prevent it from becoming a block where tourists concentrated again, because small restaurants with cheap and delicious Southeast Asian flavor "chicken with Chili sauce and China food, can attract customers the most".

brief Introduction of the content

Since the Opium War, the western powers have knocked on the door of China with their guns. Since then, the trend of western learning spreading to the east has prevailed. From science and technology to ideology and culture, China has played a learner everywhere, and even admired others. In the history of communication between China and foreign countries for nearly a hundred years, only one item, "Chinese cuisine", spread from the east to all parts of the world with the pace of Chinese’s learning from the west, and staged a unique drama with oriental flavor flowing from east to west.

This book traces its roots and combs the unique course of the spread and development of Chinese cuisine in the western world since modern times. The anecdotes from the popularity of Li Hongzhang chop suey in the United States to the Flower House in Paris, from the unique flavor of the Mariner’s Pavilion in London to the historical change of "Eating in Saigon" in Vietnam, lead readers to relive the "Journey to the West" of Chinese cuisine, led by Cantonese cuisine.

This book is a history of food traveling to the west, which reflects all aspects of life history, social history and political history. It is full of interest and historical significance.

Yu Chengdong: It’s not easy to bring the new M7 back to life.

On October 7th, the reporter of Nanduwan Caishe learned from Huawei that the new M7 designed jointly by Huawei and Celestial Automobile was set to exceed 50,000 units on the 25th day of listing, and 7,000 units were set to hit a new high on October 6th. Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, CEO of BG and chairman of BU, a smart car solution, said in a circle of friends: "Since the release of the new M7 on September 12th, the first sale has exceeded 50,000 units. Yesterday, 3500 sets, today, 7000 sets, these two days, more than 10,000 sets, creating a miracle. Congratulations to the smart car selection team and step up high-quality mass delivery. "

On September 12th, AITO’s new M7 series was officially launched, positioning itself as a luxury intelligent driving medium and large SUV with great wisdom, large space and super safety. At the press conference, Yu Chengdong introduced that he has invested 500 million yuan in the new M7 series of AITO, using solid materials and the best technology, bringing users the ultimate experience that is more advanced than far ahead.

According to reports, the new M7 in Wenjie is equipped with HUAWEI ADS 2.0 high-order intelligent driving system, which is the first to realize high-speed and urban high-order intelligent driving without relying on high-precision maps. It is expected that in December this year, the urban intelligent driving pilot assistance (urban NCA) will realize the intelligent driving experience that can be opened all over the country.

As a 250,000-class luxury medium and large SUV, the new M7 fully considers the needs of family travel, and the effective space in the big five-seat car reaches 3338 mm. At the same time, the six-seat layout is more flexible, and the overall space of the front, middle and rear three rows reaches 2605mm, which makes the six-seat and four-seat modes also have spacious interior space.

At the launch conference of the new M7, Yu Chengdong held a delivery ceremony for the small customers during the Chengdu Auto Show. The new M7 was delivered immediately after the launch, which greatly shortened the waiting period for users to place orders and improved the car purchase and car use experience of consumers. As the new M7 set a new high, Yu Chengdong also sighed with emotion: "It’s not easy to come back to life. Thanks to the hard work of the soldiers of Zhixuan Car, Car BU and related departments, thank them and congratulate them. "

In July this year, at the 14th China Automotive Blue Book Forum, Yu Chengdong once said that automobiles are Huawei’s only loss-making business. In 2022 alone, the R&D investment will reach 1.5 billion yuan, especially in the research and development of autonomous driving, accounting for 70% to 80%, and the number of R&D personnel is as high as 7,000, which is definitely a burning business.

According to Huawei’s business performance in the first half of 2023, the revenue of smart car solutions business is 1 billion yuan, which only accounts for a small part of Huawei’s business map.

It is worth noting that Huawei continues to develop its automotive business. On September 25th, Huawei held a new product launch conference in Shenzhen. The first car of Huawei’s smart car selection business, Zhijie S7, was also officially unveiled and will be officially released in November this year. Yu Chengdong said: "Intelligent S7 will surpass Model S in all specifications". The M9 is scheduled to be officially released in December, and Yu Chengdong said it will be "the best SUV within 10 million".

On April 1st this year, at the China Electric Vehicle committee of 100 Forum (2023), Yu Chengdong also said that Celes was the first partner of Huawei’s smart car selection model, but it was no longer the only one. Next, there are a number of cooperative car companies under Huawei’s intelligent selection mode, including BAIC, Chery and Jianghuai.

Is the second generation of entertainment still a star? Investigation on the current situation of celebrity children

 



Rich girls also break into the entertainment circle



It’s too early to be famous!


  3 Huang Zhiqing


  "Princess" selected by Stickmen "Prince"


  Identity: Huang Rihua Daughter Age: 19 years old


  Star potential: ★★★★☆.


  Taiwan Province’s super-popular idol group Stickmen held a concert in Hongkong earlier, which attracted thousands of girls to join in, while Stickmen member "Prince" held a beautiful female fan’s hand for a week and hugged deeply during her solo show. This lucky "princess" who was favored by "Prince" was Felix Wong Yat Wa and his wife Liang Jiehua’s baby daughter Huang Zhiqing.


  Felix Wong Yat Wa always dotes on her daughter and takes her everywhere in idolize. TWINS took her daughter to chase TWINS when she first debuted, and chased S.H.E when she grew up. Now that her daughter is 19 years old and slim, the 24-year-old father still drove her to Stickmen. "I sent my daughter to the concert that day. When I entered the venue, someone asked if I would mind letting my daughter go on stage. My daughter has been chasing Stickmen for two years and likes them very much." Felix Wong Yat Wa was generous when she talked about her daughter’s attention. When the reporter praised Huang Zhiqing’s outstanding appearance and qualified to enter the entertainment circle, Felix Wong Yat Wa did not reject it. "She should finish reading the book first. In fact, my daughter likes acting very much, but she plays a stage play instead of a TV series. I have been to see her performance and she played well. "


  4 Miao Tong


  Little "school flower" has no intention of choosing Hong Kong sister.


  Identity: Michael Miu Daughter Age: 18 years old.


  Star potential: ★★★★★


  Michael Miu and Qi Meizhen were a couple of golden couple when they were young. Their daughters inherited their parents’ excellent genes, and they became the "beauty queen" of the school at a young age, which was very popular with male students.


  In order to raise a pair of precious children, Michael Miu and Qi Meizhen did not hesitate to give up their acting career in their early years. Under the careful guidance of their parents, Miao Tong, now 18, and Miao Jun, now 15, are obedient, and Miao Tong, who looks very much like Qi Meizhen’s daughter, is very popular with male students. A reporter from Hong Kong followed suit and found that Miao Tong, as the "school flower", often had a male classmate with small eyes to escort him around.


  At the registration stage of "Hong Kong Sister" this year, it was once reported that Miao Tong would run for Hong Kong Sister. When Qi Meizhen attended a public event, she said that her daughter was not interested in the entertainment circle. "I am so angry with my daughter. After reading the report, she asked me what is’ the front belly of the bus’? Later, I learned that she meant’ a lot of prospects’, and my daughter is now preparing to go to college. I was scared all day when I heard that I chose Hong Kong sister. My daughter would better go to school and not be photographed by paparazzi. "


  Children’s group


  1 Chen Kangdi


  A "hipster" who became a designer before her mother


  Identity: Eason Chan Daughter Age: 4 years old.


  Star potential: ★★★★★


  Chen Kangdi, who has long hair, has become a "hipster girl" under the creation of Xu Haoying, a "hipster mom" who has always studied fashion clothes. She has a beautiful appearance and knows how to draw and dance ballet. She is both a writer and a dancer, and her father is a "big brother" in Hong Kong’s music scene. Xiaokangdi is naturally favored by advertisers. It is said that the value of advertisements in Chen Kangdi is as high as HK$ 2.5 million. Eason Chan said that if his daughter is interested in advertising, he will not object, but he still thinks it is too hard to be an artist. He hopes her daughter can study hard and lead an ordinary life.


  Chen Kangdi, who is only 4 years old, participated in the "I want to be a designer" taught by He Zhien himself earlier. Many children’s hair in the class was stained with paint, but Xiaokangdi was very calm and had a good idea of color matching. He painted the paper skirt and decorated it with small shells, which was praised by He Zhien for its creativity. At a fashion show specially designed for children, Xiaokangdi put on a skirt designed by herself to walk the catwalk.


  2 Xie Zhenxuan


  More suitable for entertainment than grandpa and dad.


  Identity: Nicholas Tse son Age: 2 years old.


  Star potential: ★★★★★★★


  Because both parents are big stars, Xie Zhenxuan’s gestures have been widely reported since his birth, and his clothes have become a trend indicator, such as Nike sneakers and Bathing Ape hats. Nicholas Tse once blew himself up that his son was worth 10 million Hong Kong dollars, which was higher than himself: "I might scare you to death if I told him. Someone once offered him eight figures to advertise, but I didn’t want him to walk back to his parents’ road." An advertiser confirmed that Nicholas Tse’s statement was true: "There are often manufacturers who want to find Lucas to advertise through us, and there are indeed large brands that bid more than HK$ 10 million. Unfortunately, they were all rejected by Nicholas Tse. He said that he should at least wait until his son is sensible. " To this end, Cecilia Cheung and Nicholas Tse also had a big fight.


  The advertisement was not made, but it didn’t affect Lucas’ exposure at all. His mother often took him everywhere to play, while his grandmother took him everywhere to drink tea and shop. Lu-cas had already trained very professionally, and he was never afraid to see reporters’ "long guns and short guns", but he would cry if the camera didn’t shoot him. Cecilia Cheung once said that Lucas has the talent to be a star, and he will be more popular than grandpa and dad. Grandma praised him for his musical talent, which was better than his father Nicholas Tse.

  Little princess who loves to walk the catwalk.


  Identity: Yam Tat-wah Daughter Age: 4 years old.


  Star potential: ★★★★★★★


  Yam Tat-wah and Sophia Kao’s daughter, Ren Qingjia, are really beautiful. Some time ago, their family of three went to Guangzhou to "chase" Jay Chou, and Xiao Qingjia, sitting in the VIP seat, attracted many people’s attention.


  Ren Qingjia is deeply loved by her parents, and she is a model of Yam Tat-wah who loves photography. Since childhood, her father recorded her growth with a camera, and she was used to showing herself in front of the camera, and even picked up the camera to take pictures herself. Yam Tat-wah was full of praise for her daughter’s "photography", saying that her composition was very special and her idea was very good.


  With a supermodel mother as an example, Ren Qingjia, who loves beauty, began to walk the catwalk at the age of 3. One day, at the age of 3, she went to the street with her mother and grandmother. Originally, she always wanted her mother to hold her, but suddenly she asked to walk in the fields, and then she swaggered up as a model on the road to give full play to her acting talent. In fact, not only the catwalk on the road, but also many fashion shows have invited Xiao Qingjia to make a guest appearance, but all of them have been blocked by their eager parents. "It’s best not to, don’t, don’t even sing. If the daughter goes to film, there will be fewer opportunities to meet. Besides, filming is too hard, and there are day shifts and night shifts. Girls should not stay up all night. I just want my daughter to be healthy. I don’t even let them visit my own filming. It doesn’t matter if you call me autocratic. " Yam Tat-wah said this in an interview.


  ● Reporter’s viewpoint


  Be an ordinary person.

  I’m glad to see that the children whose parents are stars are slim and graceful now, and I’m glad that none of them have dreams of becoming stars again. They inherited their parents’ excellent genes, so they are either hot and beautiful, or they have some extraordinary talents in music and acting, but they only regard this as a kind of interest and hobby. Instead of living in the public eye like their parents, they should be happy and ordinary people.


  In the past, we always liked to use the word "family", including a family of performers, singers and movies. Indeed, there are many big stars in the entertainment circle now. Their parents are stars themselves, such as Nicholas Tse, Fang Zuming and Ceng Baoyi. My father’s shadow may have brought convenience to them when they made their debut, but their ultimate success depends on their own efforts. In fact, what more second-generation celebrities see is not the glamour of the entertainment circle, but the pain that their parents have been followed by paparazzi and the despair that life has no privacy. In today’s era of individuality and freedom, this may be more unbearable than having no money. As a result, the children of these stars are far away from Hong Kong to study abroad, living a rich life of ordinary people and enjoying the freedom that their parents have always hoped for. Parents who are stars also agree with their children’s choice, because they have suffered too much in the entertainment circle and shed too many tears that others can’t see.


  In this era of fast food, entertainment stars are definitely fast-moving consumer goods. What we want to see are some new faces and voices that can cheer us up. As for who she and her parents are, we don’t care.
