Christine Kuo is Looking for a Marriage Partner
Recovering from hypothyroidism, Christine Kuo (苟芸慧) has resumed work after taking a few months off. Yesterday, she attended a special Lunar New Year function for children. When a young fan sent her his blessings, hoping that she will soon find her other half, Christine blushed and quickly said, “You should introduce me to someone!”
Christine clarified, “Things like this can’t be dealt with in a hurry! I do hope that my next one will be a marriage partner. A girl has to have a home. I’ll work hard!”
Asked if Christine had any potential boyfriends caring for her when she was sick, Christine shook her head and said she did not even want to leave her house. “I couldn’t even give myself a chance, let alone other people.” Expressing that she only wants to meet new people when she is in her most beautiful state, she added that she recently purchased peach blossoms – a symbol for love – and displayed them inside her home, hoping that the flowers will bring her good luck. “Looking at the flowers also makes me happier!”
With Lunar New Year drawing nearer, Christine hopes to spend the holidays with her parents, whom she wants to bring from Canada to live with her in Hong Kong. She also joked that she is looking forward to retiring. “Maybe it’s because I was sick, so my mentality has changed. I really know what I want to do now.”
Christine then added, “When I was sick I was really depressed, and that affects people. Now, I really want to bring more happiness to everyone. I must stay healthy.”

I guss her illness caused her ( . )( . ) to be bigger?
it’s hypothyroidism
Its her fat. Overweight girls have bigger boobies.
There are more tasteful ways to phrase that question. But in general, female “abundance” is based on fat content. As she is chubbier than the average Hong Kong girl, she is more curvy as well.
well, she’s 30… might as well start now.
She looks to have lost some weight. Hope she recovers fast. Health is indeed very important.
Glad that shehas recovered from her illness and looks not only healthier but also happier.
Would she accept an ordinary guy who’s not wealthy?
silly question…of course not lol..
With a beauty like her, I guess she got no lack of suitors.
I sort of doubt it but there are some actresses that have married ordinary guys that are not wealthy but it is bit rare.
Typical example is: Sonija Kwok.
Ada Choi is also one of them.
Ada Choi is happily married to a man who I feel is quite successful. Sonija Kwok, I am not so sure.
Agree. I think Ada Choi is luckier and her husband is a good man and is getting more recognized in the entertainment industries.
True but they are both from the circle. I have yet to seen an actress that married someone who is not wealthy and that is not from the circle. There are 2 main categories that I see of actresses marrying. One is someone wealthy/well off or 2 someone who is not wealthy but is from the circle. That is just something that I noticed.
Skye Chan married some scientist.
@lise – Yea but Skye Chan has been with her husband, then bf for like 10 yrs, before she entered the business. He has a PhD so I’d say quite successful and def intelligent.
I do wonder which actresses have married ‘ordinary’ guys…
Wow, shallow much? It really bothers me how asian perception of “beauty” is skewed based on weight.
I’m sure it’s been mentioned before, but you can be curvy without being unhealthy.
This article seems to implly that since she was “heavy” from her condition, she didn’t want to leave her house. I’m not discounting her condition. What I am saying is that the media’s constant portrayal of her as some sort of heavy set abomination has I’m sure had a toll on her emotionally.
Judging on some of the comments here “Wow she looks great” is it because she’s lost weight or she genuinely is happy. I mean there’s fake confidence (you lose weight but your happiness is not based on your overall health but based on your appearence). How we feel on the outside reflects how we feel on the inside. Don’t get me started on that before people start on me.
I’m just saying that this is another classic “I was overweight hideous that I didn’t want anyone to pursue me”.
I can’t remember that actress but the one that says she’s never had a boyfriend because she’s overweight. If she was in another part of the world that respected and revered full figure women, that would not have been the case.
I wonder how people feel towards Yang Gui Fei then??
Now? Yang Guifei will be termed fat. Even back then she must have been one big sized lady but that was the popular look then. Skinny slim women back then were probably almost always from poor families. Chubbiness and a bit of flesh was the in thing. I went to Xian and every statue of ladies in Han period were depicted as double chinned and big sized.
@Funn Lim – Do you mean Tang dynasty? Yang Guifei is from the Tang dynasty, although Xian is the capital during the Western Han and Tang dynasties.
“I can’t remember that actress but the one that says she’s never had a boyfriend because she’s overweight. If she was in another part of the world that respected and revered full figure women, that would not have been the case.”
I believe you are talking about May Chan. The sad fact is in any part of any world full figured women are called fat. Men prefer slim women. But admittedly May Chan is obese, not full figured. If she wants to lose weight I will say go for it. Healthier is always better. But realistically speaking, I have never been anywhere in any world where fat women are not emotionally abused in some ways. I read articles about big sized women and invariably the comments will say they’re fat because they’re lazy or doesn’t exercise. Like being fat is the biggest sin ever. More so in HK where if you’re female and your weight is triple digit, you’re fat. All of them aims to be double digit or size -10.
With all due respect, a traditional Nepali family I know described their hometown as a place where fat women are preferred. I know most of the world prefers women to be slim nowadays–myself included; but there are a few pockets of cultures that still prefer full-figured women.
There are still some men who want more plump women, but of course that is in the minority.
I have noticed that Asians perception of fat is different than in the US. I used to have a friend who was no where near fat but is considered a bit fat in Asian countries. I guess in Asia you need to be stick thin or something. I am bit worried that people will say I am fat when I go there in the future although in the west I am considered small and skinny.
Simple ….. just compare Christine Kuo’s figure with any of the top actresses’ in TVB and we should know the result!
Iris, few is the keyword. It seems nowadays it is not ok to mock gay people or muslims but fat people are ok to be mocked.
She has lost weight and she looks great, in part because she’s slimmer but mostly because she seems very happy with herself. I do believe she is wearing some body tightener whatever inside but who cares. I never thought she was fat in the first place. Just chubby at her worst, voluptous at other times.
Yes, and people tend to forget that they look much bigger on screen than real life.
I’m sick of her. So fragile and yet in the entertainment business. Ya, hurry and get marry and disappear too.
Christine would marry to a Fortress-salesman. Hahaha.
Oh Christine kuo has been for a while but
She haven’t changed that much when I saw the
Pic of her^_^
Has been for a while I mean
Oh yeah I agree as well but Christine kuo
Used to be so fat……but now she lost her
Weight and become much more better then
Before………
……….it seens that she is so happy to herself
When she says it on the article
“肥婆香似唔似22歲”
——————————————————————
I found the above Topic on TVB’s “Coffee Cat Mama” forum. If Eliza Sam is considered as “肥婆香” in Hong Kong, we should know how Hongkongers call Christine Kuo.
Here is the link if you wish to read more.

Wow, you’re really like a dog with a bone when it comes to Christine.
I was just giving other examples to show how people in Hong Kong think of a typical figure of a TVB actress. I did not say anything bad about your beloved Christine. Did I offend your goddess?!
As a matter of fact, I feel sorry for Eliza Sam who is not “肥婆 at all and is called as “肥婆” by Hongkongers.
“I did not say anything bad about your beloved Christine. Did I offend your goddess?!”
What a typical response. You’re being very petty and childish. I have never been a fan of Christine’s – it’s just you who has been relentless in your put-downs. Time and time again.
I am not either a fan or a hater of Christine Kuo. Whenever I submit any comments about her, even honest and unbiased, people tend to attack me. If you are not a fan of her, why can’t you just ignore it? Everyone is entitled to give his/her own opinions about any artiste.
I noticed that a lot of people on this website dislike Aimee Chan, Fala Chen, and even Charmaine Sheh. Did I attack them? These are my good artistes, but I wouldn’t call myself their diehard fans.
I guess NO ONE is allowed to say anything “unpleasant” about this goddess Christine Kuo. If Christine was not over-weighed, why did TVB ask her to take a break from filming TVB drama series? Why did the advertisers have to cancel her promotions and endorsements?
If she wants to be a successful TVB actress, she has to follow the trends and requirements in Hong Kong? Whoever supports her here will not help her achieve her success!!!
Some people tend to criticise artists for their acting skills (or lack thereof). There are also others who are more extreme and get very personal – or downright ridiculous. At least some of them know what jerks they’re being.
You, on the other hand, put yourself on a pedestal and claim yourself to be fair, so it’s no wonder some people might come down harsh on you when you contradict yourself. I don’t know if you’re just completely oblivious to the things you say and aren’t aware of how nasty it can be… Sometimes you’re pretty straightforward about it, sometimes you get too personal, but there are also many occasions on which you make sly, indirect remarks…
You also seem to have the tendency to pick and choose what you like to hear, and ignore the rest… You mention Aimee. Most people have digs at her, because of her acting or her promotion to leading actress. However, I’ve seen you defending her and complaining how people are still hung up on the Moses/Bernice thing. Those complaints have been few and far between in recent years and many of her detractors have pointed out it’s the ACTING they have a problem with. But you seem to want to believe otherwise.
If you are not biased, why can’t you ignore other people’s comments on Christine Kuo? I did not criticize her until you challenged me. As a matter of fact, I just don’t agree that she is not over-weighed as per Hong Kong standards.
You can defend an artiste submitting your personal opinions, but you should not make personal comments attacking another reader’s comments. That is what I call “personal”.
What is wrong with me saying that if an actress wants to be successful in TVB, she has to follow the standards required by TVB and Hongkongers?
Perhaps you think highly of Christine Kuo because of her face, figure, personality and acting. It is absolutely fine with me. Everyone is entitled to have his/her personal preferences as long as you don’t criticize other people’s posts!!!
Thanks!
What I believe is my choice. It is none of your business.
skinnymocha
Be mature. Everyone here is unique and he/she thinks differently that you do. If you want to show up here as a nice person, just behave and ignore the posts that you don’t agree or dislike.
“you’re really like a dog with a bone when it comes to Christine” …………. that is what I call a personal attack and insult to me.
I am sure you would feel same if I call you a dog, my dear.
I’m not averse to criticising artists either, regardless of whether I like them or not. There’d be conflicting opinions, of course, but I’m always game for some (healthy) debate.
But I’ve been on Jaynestars for years and it’s not the first time you’ve been criticising Christine. When you do it time and time again, anyone can see an obvious pattern.
The problem is your unwillingness to admit to your faults. It has nothing to do with whether I’m a fan of Christine or not – which, btw, I have made my stance clear on that matter. You seem to refuse to believe whatever’s unfavourable to you.
“Dog with a bone” = someone who’s persistent. I didn’t literally call you a dog in a derogatory way.
But you decided to stoop to the level of taunting people with you, “Did I offend your goddess?”
@skinnymocha
1) It was you who initiated the attack, not me. If you didn’t say “you are really like a dog with a bone”, I would not be that furious.
2) I don’t care if you have been on Jaynestars for years as long as you behave like a decent reader. I respect all decent readers if they submit decent and polite posts.
3) “The problem is your unwillingness to admit to your faults”
————————————-
What faults did I make ……… not being rude and mean to attack other readers’ posts (like what you did)?
I am always polite in my posts whether I agree or disagree with other people’s posts. Perhaps you would call them as “my faults”. Super funny!!!
“you’re really like a dog with a bone”
Key word here is “like”, which makes it an analogy. You were not called a dog.
I surely understand the real meaning, but I still don’t like people saying that I’m really like a dog. Perhaps you don’t mind, but I do.
“Dog with a bone” is considered an attack?
And you telling me to “behave” sounds downright patronising. I’ve talked to you in the past before. I’ve pointed out some of your problems and the personal attacks you’ve made on artists before (even though you chose to ignore it). Yet I’ve also been civil and answered any random questions you’ve had before, without the need to insult you.
If you think decent and polite posts are the way to go, then why don’t you extend the same courtesy to artists then?
And I’m certainly not the first and only one to comment on your “flaws” either. Perhaps you really do refuse to see the mistakes people point out to you.
I’ve pointed out what I meant with the expression I used. I did not intend it in any other way. If you choose to zone in on a single word then that’s your problem. Should people also be offended when they’re described as being loyal like a dog?
Artists are public figures, and they cannot avoid getting favouritisms or anti-favouritisms.
However, you are only a reader here. Don’t you think you have to respect other fellow readers on this website? Everyone has a right to criticize or praise an artiste as long as she does it in a polite way. However, you don’t have the right to call me “you’re really like a dog with a bone”. You may want to be “as loyal as a dog”, but not me. A dog is an animal, and I am not. I am a human being, one of the readers here who have equal rights as you do.
Moreover, you don’t have the right to make me believe that I have faults in making my comments unless I attacked you the way you did to me.
Jayne’s website is a place for people to submit comments about artistes, acting, dram series, entertainment business, etc.; it is not a forum for you to criticize other readers’ faults (flaws). Did I ever criticize you in the first place?
Would you like people saying “you’re like a pig for being so stupid”, or “you’re like a monkey because you are super skinny”, or “you’re like a fox for being sly and cunning”, or “you’re like an elephant because you are huge”?
Not all artists are “public figures” and embrace the celebrity culture. Even if they did, they’re still humans like you and I. Don’t they deserve some level of respect? I know I run my mouth off at times as well, but why do we act like we have the right to criticise them?
And like I said, how you interpret that line I used is your problem. (Heck, some people even love animals as much as humans! :)) I’ve already put forth my explanation, but you’re the one who refuses to accept it. If you want to play victim and insist it was an attack, then go ahead. You’re hardly any better yourself, when you respond with sarcastic and taunting comments, continually belittling people.
“Everyone has a right to criticize or praise an artiste as long as she does it in a polite way.”
But you don’t. One stickler for me is when you suggested Tavia deserved to be dumped – because Him was too good for her.
“Would you like people saying “you’re like a pig for being so stupid”, or “you’re like a monkey because you are super skinny”, or “you’re like a fox for being sly and cunning”, or “you’re like an elephant because you are huge”?”
You do realise those are just opinions? Whereas “dog with a bone” is an idiom.
In that case, you’re also like a dog with a bone because you keep biting back!!! Just an idiom ….. no offense!
You’re hardly any better yourself, when you respond with sarcastic and taunting comments, continually belittling people ……. I learned this from you!
Isn’t it amusing how the same few people are always being “picked on”? Why do 133456643452 people have a problem with you? Is it US? Or is it YOU? Haha, you are old enough to comprehend, but probably too old to change.
@Nicole:
I know you are super happy seeing me being attacked. You will be the next one, I guess.
Anyway, I don’t want to initiate a fight with you. I know your personality as well. Well, we have all kinds of readers here, you, me and others.
Sandcherry: All kinds of people here, but not much as pretentious as you. And perhaps hire someone else to write your insults.
@Nicole
“You will be the next one, I guess.” ……… I meant “you will be the next one attacking me” … now with an ally.
You are right ……… Some people are too old to change while some people are too young and immature to realize their own problems as well.
Hey, I am not upset any more because I know there are all different kinds of people here and we just cannot expect to meet all the good and polite ones.
I just have to learn to ignore those rude and stupid ones.
Now Christine Kuo must be so happy that she has generated so many more posts on her article. She is the real big winner.
Oh wow, now saying that we are using our “numbers” to gang up on you? Why, should I remind you of the numerous times I pointed out your problems without an ally? I was just very amused.
Why does everyone have a problem with sel_fi_wu? Same reason. But since she can’t see her problems, neither can you. so I’ll just watching with mirth while you continue making a fool of yourself. Who will be next to blow up? haha
I won’t. As a matter of fact, I think it was a waste of my time to talk to those unpleasant people.
To be honest, we all have problems if we attack other people or even defend ourselves. I guess we have to learn to ignore those posts or skip the articles that we don’t like, or learn to be generous and forgive those rude intruders. Bye!
Really? I wonder how the “idiots” in HK, who gave Eliza Sam the “肥婆” label, would label May Chan. Or, maybe these “immature idiots” just like to pick on foreigners only?
Christine Kuo has health/thyroid issues, which lead to lack of weight control. Didn’t these “immature idiots” have parents to teach them to have compassion for others?
It is understandable if a person has illness (such as thyroid problems) that causes her to be overweighed. My point is if an actress wants to be a successful and popular actress in TVB, overweight is not acceptable unless she wants to act May Chan’s comedic roles.
However, I am sure that Christine Kuo will get better in shape once she is on medication.
“My point is if an actress wants to be a successful and popular actress in TVB, overweight is not acceptable unless she wants to act May Chan’s comedic roles.”
But, May Chan is not doing comedic roles only. Her role in Coffee Cat Mama is not a comedic one.
Okay. You are right. I only watched the first episode of “Coffee Cat Mama” and didn’t see May Chan yet. However, I don’t think May Chan will be cast for fadan’s role in TVB.
“I don’t think May Chan will be cast for fadan’s role in TVB.”
So far, has Christine Kuo been cast in any fadan roles? I don’t recall her name coming up in the list of fadans.
I know you would say that. I believe that Christine Kuo’s ultimate goal is to get fadan’s role, and not May Chan’s.
Hopefully, her goal for now is good health.
Do you think it’s easy to be fadan? 🙂
Take it easy, sandcherry. Don’t worry so much.
don’t think any man would go near christine kou, esp after her involvement with aaron kwok
Hope she’ll find her partner will be Prince Charming. Former MCI needs to stay healthy & take care of herself.
