In the star-studded entertainment circle, Hong Kong star group occupies an irreplaceable position with its unique charm and far-reaching influence. Their names, like their works, are deeply engraved in the hearts of the audience. Recently, however, some well-known Hong Kong stars have chosen to change their stage names.
1. Chen Xiaochun → Chen Taiquan
The name Chen Xiaochun, for many people, carries an unforgettable memory of youth, and his wonderful performance in the "Gu Qianzai" series is impressive. In 2021, in order to pursue higher artistic attainments and broaden the path of acting, Chen Xiaochun did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to invite Chen Liankui, a famous Hong Kong master of surnames, to change his name to Chen Taiquan. However, interestingly, despite the change of his name, people still used to call him Chen Xiaochun, and some netizens even humorously pointed out that the new name was similar to the homonym of a drug "Gangtai suppository". Even Chen Xiaochun himself felt quite helpless about it.
two。 Lin Fu → Lin Feng
Lin Feng, a versatile and well-loved Hong Kong actor and singer, decided to simplify his name to Lin Feng. The move is intended to make names easier to remember and hopefully lead to career breakthroughs. After the name change, Lin Feng is still active in the front line of the entertainment circle, constantly launching new works and continuing to show his talented charm.
3. Luo Zhongqian → Luo Ziyi
Luo Zhongqian won the love of many fans with his excellent acting skills and sunny image, and later changed his name to Luo Ziyi. It is reported that the reason for his name change is to make the name closer to personal character and follow numerology principles, although the Cantonese pronunciation of the new name is a little awkward, but he still chose to stick to this new identity representing self-transformation.
4. Yang Yi → Yang Xiyao
Yang Yi and Luo Zhongqian are a rare loving couple in the circle. They met and fell in love on the TV series "On Call 36 hours" and tied the knot in 2016.

5. Li Shiyun → Li Shikun
Li Shiyun was loved by the audience for her sweet appearance and solid acting skills, but she decided to return to her original name in 2015. It turned out that Li Shikun was named by her grandmother, and although her parents had renamed it to Li Shiyun, which sounded more elegant, out of nostalgia for her late grandmother, she finally chose to return to her real name to feel the kindness and warmth. Li Shikun was widely praised for her superb performance in "the Queen of the News" and was nominated for Best Actress of the year in TVB at the "thousands of Star Awards 2023".
6. Liang Liewei → Liang Jinghui
Liang Liewei worked hard for 15 years at TVB, often playing a supporting role, but gained great popularity through Zhang Murong's role in the series "the Apostle Walker" in 2014. However, to people's surprise, he suddenly announced that his name would be changed to Liang Jinghui in 2022.
