The 2024 Hong Kong Marathon started with a gun, and the scale of this event returned to 74,000 people.
Chow Yun-fat, who challenged 10 kilometers in Hong Kong and Malaysia last year, returned to the familiar track and finally finished the race in 2 hours, 26 minutes and 08 seconds, refreshing his personal best in half-horse.
With a black vest, black sweatpants and sunglasses, the 68-year-old Chow Yun-fat stood on the track of the Hong Kong Marathon in his familiar outfit in the running circle.
Running a marathon at the age of nearly 70 does prove his advantage among his peers, but Chow Yun-fat is not satisfied with his results, saying that he is four minutes slower than expected, and that he will continue to run, hoping to run until he is 90 and become Forrest Gump of Hong Kong!
The reason why Chow Yun-fat was able to achieve such excellent results is inseparable from his good habit of keeping fit for many years.
He is so fond of mountain climbing that he even jokingly said in an interview that he wanted to be a fitness instructor when he retired.
Judging from the appearance of Chow Yun-fat, thick hair has added a lot of youthful vitality to him.
However, compared with the tall stature of his youth, now he is much thinner, people can not help but sigh the passage of time.
Although Chow Yun-fat's perseverance is admirable, the years have also left traces on him. After the race, his walking posture staggered and seemed to be powerless. People around him had to give him a hand.
From the picture taken at the scene, Chow Yun-fat's figure is almost out of phase, and wearing a tight tracksuit highlights his slimness.
There is almost no muscle on the exposed arm, which can be said to be "skinny".
There are obvious protruding "bumps" on the raised arms, which are densely covered with half of the arms.
As for the reason why Chow Yun-fat lost weight rapidly in his later years, at first many netizens speculated that it was the result of his years of outdoor running and excessive exercise.
However, it has come to be known that this may be related to diabetes.
In October last year, Chow Yun-fat publicly revealed in an interview that he was diagnosed with diabetes in his later years.
Weight loss is a common symptom of diabetes.
In order to control blood sugar, the body slows down metabolism and consumes body fat and muscles.
Chow Yun-fat himself suffers from diabetes, coupled with his regular exercise, so weight loss is understandable.
The important thing is that there is nothing wrong with his physical condition, which is the key.
Not long ago, Chow Yun-fat took part in an activity with his wife.
During the event, he looked very young in a loose white suit, and the loose design of the suit did not highlight his overly emaciated figure, coupled with his own thick hair and tall stature. It was as if he had returned to the energetic and charming "Fage Brother" when he was young.
Chow Yun-fat's acting career is like a rich and colorful epic, the characters are deeply embedded in the hearts of the audience.
From Xu Wenqiang in "Shanghai Bund" to the God of gamblers in the "God of gamblers" series, from Brother Ma in "Hero" to the wonderful interpretation in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", every role is his important footprint on the road of movie emperor.
His performance is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has affected the aesthetics of several generations. with the passage of time, whether he can continue to write legends and become an immortal legend in the film world is undoubtedly a focus of attention.
In a world full of complexity in the entertainment industry, Chow Yun-fat's physical condition has also aroused widespread public concern.
In the face of the merciless reality of the years, we can't help but ask: is health the most precious asset of every artist?
What kind of hardship and sacrifice are hidden behind their persistence and dedication? This is a topic worth discussing in depth.
Before, it was once rumored on the Internet that Chow Yun-fat had passed away, which made people laugh or cry.
However, Chow Yun-fat himself did not feel overly worried or angry about this, but dealt with the misunderstanding in a humorous and humorous way.
This optimistic attitude not only helps to ease the tension, but also enables him to maintain good physical fitness at the age of nearly 70.
In an interview, Chow Yun-fat shared his unique views on life and death and fame and fortune.
He revealed that although he often takes part in running activities, he sometimes worries about a sudden death in the course of running. however, he does not regard this worry as a threat to his life, but as an acceptable fact of life.
Chow Yun-fat also showed an indifferent attitude towards fame and wealth.
Some media reported that he and his wife Chen Huilian planned to donate all their property naked.
In an interview last year, Chow Yun-fat responded to the rumor.
He revealed that these donations were not made by him on his own initiative, but by the generosity of his wife Chen Huilian.
He joked that he worked hard to make money and did not want to donate money.
But after careful consideration, he thought that there was nothing in life, and no wealth could be taken away when he died.
Therefore, he thinks it makes more sense to leave property to those in need. Chow Yun-fat has always taken an indifferent attitude towards fame and wealth, and he has already made it clear that money is not the only source of happiness.
He believes that people should not only live for the pursuit of famous brands and money, but should enjoy more luck in life.
Having a home-cooked meal or exploring a new delicacy together can bring simple happiness.
With regard to the huge wealth of Chow Yun-fat and Chen Huilian, there is various speculation that their wealth is said to be as high as HK $5.6 billion, but they do not have a son or daughter.
This is not a voluntary "dink" family, but because Chen Huilian was pregnant when she was young, but the fetus failed to survive.
In order to protect his wife's body, Chow Yun-fat decided not to have children. This may also be one of the reasons why they decided to donate naked.
In any case, their kindness is admirable.
Naked donation shows their selflessness and kindness. They realize the true meaning of life and give back to society with actions.
In short, Chow Yun-fat's words and deeds inspire us to think that the value of life lies not only in fame and wealth, but in inner peace and love for others.
We should cherish life, not only for our own happiness, but also for the pleasure of helping others.
So, what do you think is the meaning of life?
