Viewers have noticed that while promoting products, she often appears tired and lacking energy. They are not interested in watching her livestreams due to her lack of appeal and somewhat superficial attitude. Some even commented that Zhao is deliberately “begging for old glory,” selling her old smiles and fame to make money.
In addition, some people also pointed out that the products Zhao is selling are quite cheap, ranging from 1 to 9 CNY (3,000 to 30,000 VND). These are considered low-quality items, and the actress’s actions could negatively impact her reputation.
Many were disappointed by the artist’s desperate sales tactics.
During the livestream, there was a moment when Zhao’s hand trembled as she opened a product. Many believed that she had health issues and was in a very poor state. Numerous fans expressed their concern for Zhao, feeling that the actress needed rest and peace in her old age instead of working until midnight.
It was revealed that Zhao’s persistent money-making efforts at such an advanced age are due to financial difficulties. Her businessman husband, Huang Jinshan, has not had a stable income for a long time. He has been accompanying his wife to events, almost like a bodyguard.
Zhao has become the main breadwinner for her family due to financial struggles.
Additionally, Zhao’s three children have not achieved anything significant or notable like their mother. Her son, Huang Kaijie, also became an actor but failed to gain recognition. As a result, the family’s financial burden rests heavily on Zhao’s shoulders.
Zhao’s team is reluctant to have her attend minor events to preserve her image as a goddess or fairy. However, her family believes that any amount of money is still money. Thus, at the age of 71, the actress continues to livestream to earn a meager income of 30,000 VND.
Zhao is determined to work hard and earn an income despite her advanced age.
Occasionally, Zhao travels to different places to perform in musical shows. She still has many supporters and fans who admire her for maintaining a slim, elegant, and graceful figure even in her 70s.
On social media, Zhao frequently shares joyful and positive images, exuding a vibrant and fulfilling life. She is praised for her youthful spirit and happiness. Little did anyone know that Zhao is currently facing such financial struggles.
A Two-Time Married Goddess, Plagued by Betrayal Accusations for Over 30 Years
Born in 1953, Zhao was once known as the goddess, fairy, and beauty icon of Hong Kong (China) in the 70s and 80s. She left her mark on numerous famous works such as The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Snow Mountain Flying Fox, Jing Hua Yan Yun, New Fairy Musketeer, and more.
Zhao, in her youth, was the ideal woman for many successful men.
At 71, her beauty still captivates audiences.
In the 1985 TV series Guanyin, Zhao played the leading role of Guanyin Bodhisattva. The show was a huge hit and won the Gold Award at the New York International Film Festival in 1986. After this series, Zhao’s portrayal of Guanyin became the standard for a pure and beautiful Bodhisattva on screen.
Especially, Zhao’s most beloved character was Feng Qingqing in the movie Shanghai Beach. This project was a collaboration with two veteran actors, Zhou Runfa and Lu Liangwei. Even now, no one can surpass Zhao’s portrayal of Feng Qingqing.
In the past, Zhao was beautiful, talented, and the ideal woman for many. Numerous businessmen and influential individuals pursued her, hoping to win her smile and affection. Zhao received countless confessions from entrepreneurs and high-society men.
Zhao’s marriages were plagued by accusations of betrayal.
One would expect a beautiful woman like Zhao to have a fulfilling marital life with an ideal partner. However, the truth is that her journey has been challenging and fraught with accusations for over 30 years.
In 1975, Zhao married Dr. Huang Hanwei, with whom she had two sons. Unfortunately, the marriage was unhappy due to constant arguments and disagreements. Eventually, Zhao divorced in 1982 despite her husband’s and children’s pleas.
Zhao’s first marriage ended due to exhaustion and unhappiness.
Recalling her first marriage, Zhao shared: “Our personalities differed greatly. I realized that no matter how successful my career was, it was useless if I wasn’t happy. I felt like a lost soul, and my heart was tired.”
In reality, in 1981, Zhao starred in the film Hua Mulan with Huang Jinshan. Rumors spread that the two were involved in a “film-to-real-life” romance. However, both leads denied the allegations, and at the time, Zhao was still married.
Zhao’s first marriage ended, and she remarried three years later.
Later, when it was revealed that Zhao was indeed in a relationship with Huang and remarried three years after her divorce, many believed that she had cheated on her first husband. These negative reports significantly impacted her image at the time.
Afterward, Zhao gave birth to a son and gradually withdrew from the entertainment industry. She received numerous invitations to return with high paychecks. However, the actress declined, as her life was already comfortable and financially stable.
Zhao’s marriage to Huang was once the envy of many.
Zhao shared her perspective: “I determine what’s important to me at different stages. For example, when my children were young, taking care of them was my top priority. When my family needed me, I chose to stop acting to spend time with my husband and children.”
“Children grow up fast, and if you miss this phase, you’ll never get it back. Accompanying them as they grow is a joy.”
There were reports that Zhao didn’t want to return to acting because Huang was doing well in business. The actor turned to real estate investment and entrepreneurship, achieving success. He even owned a large entertainment company.
Huang cherished and adored Zhao.
Zhao, by Huang’s side, resembled a noble lady, enhancing his image as a successful entrepreneur. Reflecting on those times, the screen goddess expressed her gratitude for having a loving and talented husband.
For over 30 years, Huang and Zhao have been inseparable. The actress once said about her husband: “Whenever I go somewhere, he always tries to arrange his work to accompany me. Once, he came with me to the mainland, but he had to fly back after receiving a client’s call.”
Despite portraying a happy marriage, Zhao’s family life was not without its challenges. In 2012, she faced a series of scandals. There were rumors of plastic surgery to retain her youth, as well as accusations of infidelity during her first marriage and domestic violence involving a martial arts star, Huang Yuanshan.
Later, journalists discovered a long scar on Zhao, believed to be from the alleged abuse. However, she remained silent in the face of these allegations.
