Suspected staging

In 2000, after Tony Leung won the Best Actor award at Cannes for his work In the Mood for Love, he held a celebration party in Hong Kong. The party gathered famous stars of Hong Kong showbiz at that time such as Stephen Chow, Gong Li, Brigitte Lin, Wong Kar-wai...

Tony Leung's Cannes Golden Cup celebration event also became the day Nicholas Tse and Faye Wong went public with their relationship. They left the party holding hands under the media's siege.

The next day, Chinese entertainment newspapers were filled with images of Faye Wong (30 years old) walking in front, holding Nicholas Tse (19 years old)'s hand and following behind. This was considered a classic moment of public love, and also the most famous sister-brother love in the entertainment industry of the billion-people country.

23 years later, Nicholas Tse and Faye Wong once again recreated the intimate moment that caused a stir in public opinion. According to paparazzi present at Beijing airport on March 11, they were surprised by Faye Wong's presence.

Nicholas Tse and the Hong Kong Queen ignored the crowd's gazes and held hands affectionately. The difference was that this time, Nicholas Tse was the one who took the initiative to hold hands and take care of Faye Wong. Afterwards, the image of the couple on the plane was also revealed by the audience. Both were sitting in economy class.

According to Sina , the intimate photo of two top Hong Kong artists has received hundreds of thousands of views and comments. However, the public's reaction is mixed. Some people support and praise them, but there are still a large number of viewers who do not accept their love story.

On social media, many viewers questioned Nicholas Tse and Faye Wong's economy class flight. With their influence, huge fortunes, and usually reserved personalities, they should have been in business class. The unusual appearance of the two artists at the airport was suspected to have been arranged by someone involved.

Not to mention, after the photo was posted, a series of articles praising Nicholas Tse's loyalty to a woman named Faye Wong appeared frequently on social media.

This made the public suspect that the couple staged their love affair to gain attention.

The reason why Phong - Phi's love affair was criticized

According to Sina, Nicholas Tse and Faye Wong dated since 1999. After 4 years of breaking up and getting back together several times, the two broke up. Nicholas Tse once announced that he would marry Faye Wong at the age of 25. But the result was that when the actor turned 25, Faye Wong was the wife of Li Yapeng and had a daughter, Li Yan. In 2006, Nicholas Tse married the beauty Cecilia Cheung and gave birth to 2 sons.

In 2011, Nicholas Tse divorced Cecilia Cheung. Two years later, Faye Wong also broke up with Li Yapeng. After two failed marriages, Nicholas Tse and Faye Wong secretly got back together in 2014.

The rekindling of old love between two top showbiz stars has created a wave of discussion among Chinese public opinion. Compared to their brilliant artistic achievements, their love story is not supported by many audiences, even disliked.

Over the years, Nicholas Tse has been criticized for taking advantage of their feelings, seeing Cecilia Cheung as a replacement. Faye Wong is considered selfish, abandoning Li Yapeng because his business was failing. Both have also been mocked as representing the type of parents who neglect their children to pursue love. They leave their children to be cared for by their ex-husbands or wives.

According to QQ , the broken marriage of Nicholas Tse or Faye Wong is unfortunate. After the emotional turmoil, their choice to get back together is not wrong when both are no longer bound by any relationship. However, praising the decades-long love story of Faye Wong and Faye Wong is considered unfair and can hurt their former spouses and their children.

"Some people say that true love, no matter how far it goes, will come back together. This point of view is not wrong. But it would be bitter when standing from the perspective of Truong Ba Chi or Ly Ap Bang. If Phong - Phi is said to be true love, then what is the relationship with their ex-wife or husband? The important thing is the stepchildren of Ta Dinh Phong or Vuong Phi, what will they think when their parents' marriage is always associated with the four words 'wrong choice'", QQ commented.

Therefore, many people think that the couple should keep their love secret as they have always done to avoid public gossip.
