On August 20th, footage surfaced of the 49-year-old actor and singer, Leslie Chung (钟汉良), enjoying a private dinner, accompanied by a woman who is rumored to be his secret wife, Hsieh I-hua (谢易桦).
During the gathering, Leslie appeared in high spirits, lounging back in his chair, engaged in lively conversation with friends. His demeanor belied his age, as he exuded none of the stereotypical signs often associated with middle-aged men.
After the dinner concluded, Leslie was seen leaving alongside a woman with long flowing hair, dressed in a white top that complemented her slender figure. Her confident stride and stylish attire suggested a strong sense of fashion and poise. Coincidentally, Leslie was also wearing a white shirt, and the pair departed together in a car headed for their hotel.
It's worth noting that the woman's face was captured on camera. While Leslie has maintained his youthful appearance, the woman, presumably Hsieh I-hua, seemed more age-appropriate, which isn't surprising given that she was born in 1980 and is now 44 years old. This is a natural state for someone her age.
Hong Kong media had previously alleged that Leslie had been secretly married for many years to Hsieh I-hua, a Taiwanese fashion designer, and that they have a daughter together. Despite Leslie's denials, paparazzi have persistently followed him, eventually capturing images of both entering the same room at the same hotel. These photographs appear to confirm their relationship. Leslie, however, seems intent on shielding his family from public scrutiny, refusing to acknowledge their existence publicly.
Hsieh I-hua, herself, is no ordinary individual. At 18, she was accepted into an acting program but chose a different path due to her father's disapproval of her pursuing a career in entertainment. Instead, she turned to fashion design, furthering her studies in New York and establishing her own clothing brand, marking her as a successful businesswoman.
The news sparked a flurry of reactions online. Some netizens praised Leslie, saying, “He's truly a good man, protecting his family from intrusion for so many years after marriage.” Others commented, “Though Hsieh I-hua may not have standout beauty, her appearance suggests a supportive and charismatic personality.” It appears that the public holds a positive view of this secretive couple.
