Nicholas Tse once said frankly: Falling in love with Faye Wong is the greatest honor.

  


  In March 2000, Nicholas Tse’s name was again linked to Queen Faye Wong.


  On the evening of March 12, Faye Wong and Nicholas Tse were drinking and chatting in a bar in Happy Valley, Hong Kong, when they were photographed by paparazzi using long-lens cameras. The next day, the photo appeared in Hong Kong newspapers. Despite the distance from the subject, the photographer could still see clearly that Faye Wong and Nicholas Tse were facing each other, leaning forward, looking like a kiss scene in a movie.


  That night, Faye Wong and Nicholas Tse went on a date at the Green Spot bar in Happy Valley, and when the alcohol was high, the two began guessing and showed intimacy as if no one was around, the report said. These intimate actions included the two sharing a beer, Tse often stroked Faye Wong’s hair, and most fiercely, when guessing, the winner was given the right to kiss each other on the cheek.


  The report further said that in fact, Faye Wong and Nicholas Tse "dating" did not start from this day. As early as before, someone in the circle had already leaked to the media, saying that the two had been together for a month and a half. The informant made it very clear that Faye Wong and Nicholas Tse were dating, and the real intermediary was Anita Mui. Because the informant did not provide more words, the media could only determine the matter based on some phenomena.


  In the Hong Kong entertainment industry, Anita Mui is known as Mei Gu, which not only indicates that she is older than the later newcomers, but also shows that her status in the Hong Kong music scene belongs to the elders. This is true. Anita Mui has a good relationship with Nicholas Tse’s father, Xie Xian, and is also a good friend with Nicholas Tse’s mother, Deborah, and has a very special friendship with Nicholas Tse’s boss, Yang Shoucheng of the Emperor Group. On the other hand, Faye Wong can be said to be Anita Mui’s successor, who replaced Anita Mui’s position in the Hong Kong music scene, and the two are teachers, so the relationship is naturally very deep. Media analysts say that every time Anita Mui attends a dinner party with some friends, she always forgets to bring along Faye Wong and Nicholas Tse, creating countless opportunities for them.


  The day after the news came out, on March 14, Nicholas Tse attended a press conference, and the matter naturally became the most central topic. A reporter asked Nicholas Tse if it was true that the media reported him kissing Faye Wong. Nicholas Tse immediately denied it. He said: "I have never kissed Afi, I will not kiss for guessing boxing, and if you lose, you will be fined for drinking alcohol or flicking your forehead. Don’t make me look like I am very promiscuous." In an interview, Nicholas Tse was very protective of Faye Wong. He said: "You can be my ghost character, but Afi will not do that. I didn’t drink a lot at the time, and I know what I did. Don’t scribble."


  On the same day, Faye Wong, accompanied by her manager, Chen Jiaying, went to Japan to receive a music award. Uncharacteristically, she showed up at the airport early, looking refreshed and very happy. Despite their early departure, the reporter blocked them at the airport. She did not answer the news at all. The agent with her, Chen Jiaying, just smiled calmly at the reporter’s question and said "I won’t talk about it".


  Only later did the media make it clear that it was not just Faye Wong and Nicholas Tse who attended the party that night, but also Anita Mui, Carina Lau, Luo Wen and others. In an interview, Luo Wen said that he was one of the attendees of the night, and he knew very well that Faye Wong and Nicholas Tse could not be a couple. "How is it possible? A large group of people play together, and no one thinks they are a couple. When playing the game, whoever loses has to kiss in person, even her assistant. I think this report is unfair and untrue." That said, it seemed to confirm the fact that Tse and Faye Wong had "met in person". But Carina Lau, the party’s convener, said the opposite, saying that there was no game of guessing and punishing kisses at all that night, and it was normal for everyone to hug each other. She did not think there was anything wrong with Afi and Tse. Qiu Likuan, another agent of Faye Wong, rejected the media’s claim that Faye Wong and Anita Mui were very close. She said with humor that Faye Wong and Anita Mui had no special friendship, and that meeting Anita Mui at the bar was just a coincidence, just like meeting Nicholas Tse was a coincidence. In fact, every time Faye Wong was invited out to play, it was Carina Lau, not Anita Mui. She said that if drinking a glass of wine is about falling in love, it is better to simply say that Faye Wong and Carina Lau are dating.


  The most interesting reaction to this rumor was Faye Wong’s best girlfriend, Na Ying. Faced with a reporter’s question, Na Ying said with certainty: "No, just kidding!"


  Nicholas Tse, one of the protagonists of this scandal, was only 20 years old, while Faye Wong was 31 years old, and the age gap between the two was 11 years.


  Speaking of which, there is indeed some fate between Faye Wong and Nicholas Tse. This is not only because they have known each other when Nicholas Tse was a 14-year-old child, nor because Faye Wong was already Nicholas Tse’s idol long before that. It is also because both of them were extremely lonely when they were growing up, and both of them began to be independent at a young age, choosing their own lives very assertively. In addition, both of them are Dai Sicong’s students, and they are both gifted in music.


  Faye Wong is an emotional and persistent woman, her friend and agent, Chen Jiaying, said. She is the kind of woman who lives and dies for love.


  Indeed, for the sake of love, Faye Wong can be desperate, just as she sang in her song, she is willing to be exiled for love. As long as there is love, she would rather give up everything she has obtained and be a little woman who can get out of the hall and get into the kitchen.
