For the first time in Hong Kong’s history an entertainer(藝人)has been written into middle school text books.He is considered one of the best actors in Hong Kong.Yes, he is Chow Yun-fat.

  The example of his long hard struggle for success has been used in a chapter in a Hong Kong middle school textbook.Using his experience, students can learn to make the most of their time and to grab(抓住)every opportunity(機(jī)會(huì))to succeed.

  On hearing about this, Chow said happily,“I really hope that my experiences can make young people understand that one should not be afraid of difficulties and setbacks(挫折),for they are the only way to success.”

  Indeed, Chow has traveled a long and difficult path to reach his success.In 1955, he was born into a poor family in Hong Kong.When he was 17, he had to leave school.He worked in a number of jobs-as a postman, camera salesman and taxi driver.These experiences paved the way for him to play all kinds of roles late in life.

  Chow broke into the film industry in the late 1970s.He was one of the hardest working actors and starred in a number of popular TV dramas and files including Shanghai Bund(《上海灘》)and A Better Tomorrow.Since 1985, he has won many Awards including Taiwan’s Golden Horse Awards and Hong Kong File Awards(香港金像獎(jiǎng)).

  In 1995, he went to Hollywood.Although he was already in his 40s.He had to learn English.He even put chopsticks in his mouth to practice pronouncing certain sounds

  His film, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, began to gain him more fame and recognition around the world.In 1998, the mayor of Chicago set aside January 12 as“Chow Yun-fat Day”.

The former was writing wonderful works at the ripe age of fifty, while the latter was  19   trying new ways of painting when he was ninety!
