Steven Ma Hiking in San Francisco
Steven Ma (馬浚偉) was suddenly admitted to the hospital after experiencing sudden dizziness and high blood pressure last week. He spent one night under hospital observation and care. Due to Steven’s ill health, he was advised to rest for the remainder of the week, but due to contract obligations, he was unable to cancel his San Francisco appearance.
A few days ago, the 42-year-old resumed to work and flew to San Francisco to hold a mini-concert for a local casino. To assure his fans that he is well, he shared some photos of himself hiking on the hills of San Francisco on his Weibo blog.
He wrote, “The morning of San Francisco. I woke up really early today. After eating breakfast and working out at the gym, I took a hike by myself. The sky is clear and the morning is crisp. There is greenery everywhere. It is joyful and relaxing indeed! Although the reasons for coming here is [work], I still feel relaxed beyond compare!”
After visiting the hospital last week, his doctor advised Steven to cut back on his caffeine. Steven had a habit of drinking five cups of black coffee per day. He added on his Weibo, “P.S. In the past two days, I only drank one cup of coffee per day! Don’t worry, the third master is true to his word. Health is most important! Thankful and thank the Lord!”

Why is this even translated? This is not news. Poor choice
srly, they’re better things to report than this.
like… raymond lam and his girl
Haha yes. Or angelababy and her bf
I support this. I understand the reason why translators may choose to translate things but there are better articles to translate than translating news that shouldnt be translated/used.
This is a good article to translate. It explains Steven is now back to good health, that he is taking good care of himself and we know where he is doing what.
Why not? What then must be translated? Only that he was in hospital? Fans will need a follow up.
I agree with Anonymous. Pointless article. And only you need a pointless article to followup.
You think it is pointless. His fans would appreciate good news of how their idol is doing. Pointless article is what name a celebrity gives to his son or a planned second pregnancy or rumoured girlfriends or how many trips a boyfriend with money buys his BB. I don’t see anything pointless with a positive article about an actor who recently went through a health scare.
Je suis d’accord avec Anonymous parce que cet article est assez inutile
I agree that this article is more meaningful than others, but there are a lot of meaningless articles on this website. I guess the acceptance is very individual ……… depending on whether or not you are a fan of the artiste.
@sandchery: truly well said.
the bigger question is who chooses which articles 2 translate . Obv. it is done so that the owner can gain $$$ for choosing articles that would be “worthy” to pay for its expense.
@Funn: Any1 can tell your biased. your not a fan of Aimee, Raymond, hence you blasted them. your a fan of SM. of corse u would think that this is “OMG. super important” news-.-
It’s more meaningful than the trips Raymond Lam and his gf made, or the car Angelababy got, or pointless rumours about Vanessa Yeung (which actually harms a budding relationship).
There are a lot of Steven’s fans who appreciates an update after news of his stroke.
If you feel this is meaningless then just do not read or comment. It is that simple.
I personally do not see anything wrong with this article. It just shows that he is back in good health now which means a lot to any fans or anyone that likes him.Therefore, I don’t see anything wrong with it. There are way more meaningless articles than this one, that’s for sure.
Indeed. Well said
I agree with HeTieShou. I don’t know why there are people who just like to complain. If they find this article not relevant to them, just skip and read the next one.
agree. could have updated on that article that reported his conditions
we should go hiking together steven <3
I’d faint before the hiking even begins
Moi aussi.
oui oui
Steven is so charming in SIAC!
Omg Steven is 42.
He’s so charming in that drama right now yes!! Love him onscreen
il est vieux.
Compare this pix to the one taken during the SIAC promo http://www.jaynestars.com/news/steven-ma-feared-he-had-a-stroke/ — such a big difference in appearance. How did he do it? lol! Steven just posted on weibo that his 2 concert went smoothly.
Thank the Lord? I never knew Steven’s religion. Is he Christian?
http://stevenma-fanblog.blogspot.ca/2012/12/steven-ma-on-sobem-christian-radio.html
selon le lien, il est un chrétien!
hes a christian.
Thanks! Don’t know why I always assumed he is a Buddhist! Really don’t know why.
because you assume things.
I think he mentioned that he was an atheist as in don’t hv any believe?..
sheila: Absolutely not true. Ada has had nothing to do with Steven’s conversion whatsoever. Steven ascribed his conversion to his sisters. Though Steven attended Catholic schools since young he did not subscribe to any particular religion. He ascribed his conversion to his sisters in seeing how their Christian faith guides them in their daily lives and help them through hardships, and in how they conduct themselves as true Christians. For e.g. how his sisters’ religious faith had helped them deal with their mother’s death with grace and acceptance unlike his own denial and subsequent breakdown; how his younger sister’s faith helps her deal with her own breast cancer detected in 2003 now in remission; how his nurse sister because of her faith in Christ risked her health even life to willingly stay back on duty in her hospital at the height of SARS. If interested, do read Steven’s testimony to Christ so that you can get the facts to his conversion – the same link posted in my other post below.
HK 2003 SARS epidemic..Steven pleaded with his nurse sister not to report to duty in her hospital because of his fear she would be infected with SARS virus too.
His sister replied: “My faith will support me.”
Steven’s voice became agitated, he said: “That’s not enough wo! Dr. Tse Yuen Yee was also a Christian but she was infected anyway. I’m not asking you for anything but at this moment would you at least let me as your younger brother be a bit selfish?”
2nd sister solemnly said to her younger brother: “Steven, if everybody thinks like you then every medical personnel would listen to his/her family member and leave the hospital. If one day you contacted SARS, or that father was infected with SARS, then who would take care of you both?”
At hearing his 2nd sister’s response Steven instantly got goose bumps; fighting back anxiety he said no more.
Steven said: She said to me: “This inner strength came from God, it made me reflect deeply on my faith, which is the spirit of self-sacrificing for others.” At that moment, I didn’t know how to change her mind because she had a valid justification.

In the linked video below, Steven talks about how his sisters’ strong Christian faith finally converted him to Christianity after a long soul searching journey from a cynical disbeliever to a converted believer.

Well, clamine. Yes, yes, yes! We already know right now that he converted to christianity because of his sister, not because of Ada Choi. You don’t need to comment so many times when nobody really asked anymore.
Yes, Steven is a Christian. Prior to his baptism when asked by media of his religious faith Steven also said he had none. Indeed, it has taken him many years of ceaseless questioning thru an open mind to finally overcome his initial skepticism and lingering doubts to finally accept Christ into his life. He attributed his sister’s deep Christian faith as the biggest influencing factor in his conversion. If interest in his conversion journey to Christianity goto the link to this cache of articles, videos and radio interviews.

the air in San Francisco > air in HK.
Not as stuffy and i heard that they have banned plastic water bottles!
actually change that to air in N. America > air in Asia in general terms.
Je suis d’accord avec vous!
agree
Thanks a lot for translating this article Addy!! 🙂
I am glad Steven is feeling better. Steven, you shouldn’t hike alone. If you call me, I would hike with you. 🙂
Steven is such a thoughtful guy because he updates his condition, so that his fans do not worry.
I never liked Steven Ma until I watched the “Ghost Writer”. I agree that Steven Ma is a very thoughtful person. He updated his TVB Blog with messages every day for many months after he left Hong Kong for Mainland China. I was quite impressed by his efforts. Not many TVB artistes, especially male, would update their Blogs unless their drama series are airing.
Steven Ma is a writer. He has published 3 books before (maybe more now). He also constantly wrote meaningful things on his blog. So, it’s not surprising that he update his blogs more than other TVB artists. 🙂
I did not know he is a writer, but I know he is interested in recipes and cooking.
Hey, he is like a modern Pu Song Ling then. I loved him in Ghost Writer too. It is great that he is great friends with Linda and Fala in real life too. No wonder they had great chemistry on screen as well.
🙂 The bad thing is that people are worrying about their idols but many times they forget about their family members and even themselves. I do not say all but I have seen many.

**************************************
“forget even themselves” reminds me of Steven’s impromptu self-empowering motivational speech to his visiting fan group.
Don’t know what other idols-visiting fans talked about but at this one particular mainland Steven fan group visit, a fan’s query on Steven’s social books prompted his speech below, and in Mandarin to boot. lol!
excerpted verbatim transcript.
Steven: Of course, one person’s effort is not strong enough, but whatever one can do, then do it. That goes for you all too. I hope our fanclub or the fans who like me would not look down on their own ability to influence. If you think you are insignificant, then you are truly insignificant. [..]if the world is less me then there is no another person like me on earth. It is the same for everybody. Don’t minimize your effort. All these individual efforts combined together can make an impact.
Incidentally, copies of Steven’s 6 published books are stocked in the HK public libraries, and “Why Suicide?” (mainland version)copies are also available in many mainland schools and public libraries.
I love reading his more meaningful and thoughtful posts, inspiring when I need a pick-me-up message.
weiboan：Loathe people who gossip behind other people’s back. If you’re so good why not say it upfront.
@Steven Ma: Since they always did it behind your back then let them remain forever behind you therefore more backward than you.
*************************************
Another Steven’s interaction with a young weibo fan.
Steven ma weibo entry: “Maybe the worldly affairs seem to have become increasingly chaotic, but good people, good deeds that moved the hearts are still aplenty in the world. When contending against falsehoods and malevolence don’t forget at the same time to appreciate the beauty of the right path and decency.”
//a young weibo fan: “Good people, they never live a peaceful life, but bad people are often better off than the good…heaven is so unfair.”
//Steven Ma: “Don’t ever think that! Walk the right path, live the right way; don’t doubt that. For once the heart starts to compare itself with the “bad and evil”, it’s easily steered onto the crooked road. Don’t confuse yourself, understand?”
Jayne: Wonder why my 2 posts are awaiting moderation?
Don’t know why this comment of mine is still awaiting moderation since yesterday, so reposting it again today.

Not relevant to the article, but he released a new song!
非戀之情 – 馬浚偉 x 陳法拉
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0KIBnRM-Nw&feature=em-upload_owner
Thanks. It is a good song. Both Steven and Fala sing very well. I enjoyed it.
Glad to know that Steven Ma and Fala Chen get along so well, especially Fala does not seem to have good work relationships with her co-artistes (as reported by Hong Kong tabloids). This proves that Fala can be a nice artiste working with her colleagues.
Steven and Fala don’t just get along. They are very close. Fala is like his god-sister. He’s also very close to Linda.
Kidd
You are absolutely right. Fala and Linda are Steven’s god-sisters. I remember he said that in some interviews.
Don’t forget about Tavia!
Linda, Fala, Tavia are all his godsisters, if I remember correctly! I really like them acting together! They have really good chemistry!
Tavia Yeung is more like Steven’s partner in drama series than his sisters.
me too i think they both are very good partners
when they film a tv show together
Yea, it I great that Steven, Fala and Linda are all so close in real life. You truly feel their chemistry in Ghost Writer. I really hope they all act together in another series again in the future.
Steven has mentions numerous times in many different interviews that he has 3 god sisters. Tavia fala and Linda.
He’s such a good brother to all of them and have close relationships with all three!
@sandcherry: Tavia Yeung is more like Steven’s partner in drama series than his sisters.
Steven said Tavia constantly ‘abused’ him when shooting a series together. Like he would be crouching on the floor, Tavia would sneak up behind him and push him from the back. And she went hahaha! Or that every time she flubbed her lines she would reflexively hit him — Steven sounding so wronged said “what’s that got to do with me?” “Every day she could find something to bug me.” “Because she knows I’m fond of (疼-sek)her.”
Tavia calls Steven “old ma/horse”, so in retaliation he calls her “old yeung/goat”.
An update on Fala-Steven sibling relationship.
Reporter: But did not ask you to sign as managed artist with his company?
Fala: He doesn’t need to sign me. Even without a contract, he still needs to take care of me, and help me with or without a contract. He is very fond of me. (sek ngo)
Reporter: “seon kai?” Formalize the honorary siblings tie? (上契?)
Fala: I don’t subscribe to this ..actually all these years our relationship is very good. He is truly my older brother, no doubt about it.

the duet song says it all. you dont need the interview to kno
Glad to see that he is recovering fast and is taking good care of himself. I also never knew that he was a Christian, probably because he is very low-key about it, which I appreciate. ^.^
I am shocked that some of you did not know that he was a Christian. I remember not too long ago that it was reported that he was going to make a Christian album and there was a big discussion about it on here. Steven is not really low key about being Christian but he is not as high profile about it like many other Christian artists are.
GREAT NEWS TO SEE THAT STEVEN MA IS OKAY
that he is already got well………………..
LOL.. I’m from San Francisco and I’m pretty sure I know where Steven hiked. shucks! coulda bumped into him!!!
must be another time
So glad to hear Steven is fit and well.
Good to hear he is recovered.
Now if he could get all his three god sisters in one series with him….
gud for him!
Seven years in jail in storm in a cocoon, I can’t believe it….
Smiley_cat: watch epi 27, it’s the absolute best yet.
“Seven years in jail in storm in a cocoon”
That’s the sentence but…
Steven looks so well and rested in the photo and I’m glad he just needed that rest and nothing else. The article is noteworthy as I’m sure many of his friends, fans and well wishes must have been pleasantly surprised to see it and know that he is all right and looks healthy and as a true Christian he doesn’t forget to thank God for that.
love this guys work ethnic! be safe!
Steven’s role as Poon Ka Yeung has renewed some people’s interest in him. For those interested to get an overall picture of Steven Ma as a person and his trials and tribulations, I did an encapsulation (based on “as I see it” pov) on him in the context of renowned Rudyard Kipling’s IF poem.
