HK star Cecilia Yiu returns to acting after 30 years, open to working with ex, Aaron Kwok

Hong Kong actress Cecilia Yiu Ching Ching is set to make her show-business comeback after a 30-year absence.

The 57-year-old recently said she had signed with newly established talent agency New World Entertainment, marking her return to the entertainment industry.

Speaking to the Hong Kong media, Yiu said she is excited to be back after such a long absence, adding that she now sees herself as a newcomer starting from scratch.

The former TVB star revealed that she had long considered returning to the spotlight but lacked the confidence to do so after being away from the industry for so many years.

It was only after getting encouragement from her godbrother, who is the founder of New World Entertainment, and her manager that she decided to make her comeback.

She said her return will extend beyond acting, with plans to venture into live streaming and singing. She said she has already recorded four new songs and will soon begin filming the music videos.

Yiu also addressed her past relationship with Hong Kong superstar Aaron Kwok, 60, whom she reportedly dated for five years.

When asked whether she would be open to meeting or working with him again, she said she has no objections, pointing out that their relationship ended many years ago, and added that she is willing to collaborate with him professionally if the opportunity arises.

Yiu joined the entertainment industry while still in high school, appearing in numerous television commercials. She later took part in TVB’s Miss Television pageant in 1986 before signing with the Hong Kong broadcaster.

Her television dramas and film roles include The Master Strategist (1988), Ode To Gallantry (1989), When Things Get Tough (1990) and On The Edge (1991).

She announced her retirement from show business in 1995. THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK
