Hanwei Writes

 

Chen Hanwei writes

Hanwei's good character shines through a series of heart-warming essays he wrote in the Malaysian Chinese newspaper "Sin Chew Jit Poh" from 1996 to 1997. 

They were sent in by  his fan from Malaysia, Teng Xi. Initially the photocopies of these essays were put up at  this website, but the originals are here now and this page has also been revamped.

(Some of the pages take some time to load. To save time you can open a few links at the same time.)

Excepts of Essays

Read on Here...

   "What should be the content of my column be?

Is it to express my dissatisfaction with people and matters, or to tell readers my innermost secrets? Share my joy, sorrows and worries: Or relate how I deal with things and my attitude? My perception of some world matters?

   Perhaps I can write about the dark secrets of the entertainment world, maybe it is possible and perhaps I can..." 

 

Cause for Joy and Celebration

   "Those who watch me grow up in my 8 years of acting career, are not only my family members, close friends, television audience, but also a group of good fans who support me continuously!"

 

My Fans

   "When you hear about it, the entertainment circle seems frightening. Actually when you are in this line for a long time, you will know that ups and downs are a reality in the entertainment circle. This is the [[Rules of the Game]]..."

 

Some People

   "This kind of behavior is due to one being young and hence childish. But, in this society, there are still many "adults" with this kind of mentality! This is especially evident  in this highly competitive work environment."

 

I Tell You Hor, I Don't Want To Friend You

   "Why do I call my father <<Old Dad Ah Dan>>?

   The moment I am born, he is not just my father; he has been my Primary school teacher, my chauffeur to and from school; my cook for my daily breakfast. He even washed and polished my school shoes...Now that I am already working, he still run chores for  me : help wash my car, fill the car petrol, wash clothes, buy daily necessities and still help me make breakfast..."

 

Old Dad "Ah Dan"

   "My parents belong to the more COOL kind of couple who does not express their feelings readily. But as their son, I know that both of them play an important role in each other's heart. They both care a lot for and value each other. That is why their marriage can last to today's 36th anniversary. It can be seen they give in a lot to each other."

 

November the 23rd

   "Love can be lethal. When you have it, there is heart-felt joy yet also heartache. Without it there is happiness and also sadness. In this world there is no one who does not need love. Searching amidst the mass of people, it is likely to meet one or two, perhaps even more loved ones. Yet he or she may not be your life-long partner."

 

Love

   "In one's life it is not always possible to be able to make all things go back to the original completely.

     This is especially so when it comes to telling lies"

    

Returning Back is "Darkness"

  "Li Jin Mei - I only acted with her in one show <<The Magnate>>!

   Many people didn't have a very good impression of her. Actually she is very popular in TCS and gets along very well with people. Why? It's because she is  not afraid of  failure; she works hard; she is keen to learn; she is very sincere. These are what those outside the circle cannot see.

  So please give her more chance. She really works very hard!"

 

What I see in my Co-actresses

   "I've worked in the social university for nearly 9 years, and met countless types of people. Still I prefer the kind of feeling I get when I am together with a few of my old classmates from my Secondary school days."

 

Six Little Tigers

  "I have a wish that is: I wish that every year I can spend Christmas in a country that snows. Even if it doesn't snow it'll be good to be in Paris or London too. The best is to spend a happy and meaningful [[ WHITE X-MAS]] with my loved one! This wish has always been in my heart every year. I really wish it will come true!"

 

White Christmas

   "In the last year, I went through all life's ups and downs. Perhaps it is because of going through the rough and tumble of the entertainment circle, I don't know why I have become more and more quiet. It didn't occur to me much at first but these days friends around have been saying this, and even those friends from Hong Kong who see me once in a few years observe this...."

 

' 97 New Year Wish

  "As I said, when you are thin, some people talk about you being skinny. When you are fat, some complain about you being fat. Just like being an artiste, some like your acting skills, but there will be some who don't like your way of interpretation. I feel that it is most important that you yourself  feel comfortable and natural and not [[go overboard]]. That is the best because it is impossible to please everyone."

 

Slimming Down?

   "That is why, we should not say [[don't want]], [[don't dare]], [[not possible]], [[cannot]], [[it will not happen to me]], [[die also cannot]] too early....Because time can slowly change many things, some change without us even knowing!"

 

I come from 1997

   "When you have decided on some thing, considered  about what kind of life you want, then don't give up. Try all means to achieve it. Don't doubt your own strength. Believe you can do it!

   Finding yourself and being yourself is very sensible and important!"
