Shu Qi Breaks Up with Stephen Fung?
Shu Qi (舒淇) and Stephen Fung (馮德倫) have broken up… once again?
The romantic rumors of Shu Qi and Stephen Fung have been going on for years, ever since the pair worked together in 1998’s Bishonen <美少年之戀>. The love rumors came at a peak in July of last year, after the longtime friends were photographed catching the same morning flight to Tokyo – alone. However, Shu Qi later claimed that her mother and two friends were also with her on the Japan trip.
In August 2012, it was speculated that Shu Qi and Stephen had broken up after Shu Qi posted a foreboding message on her Weibo, writing, “Years later, I have finally discovered that it is not because the little bird could not fly across [the sea], but because no one is waiting for it on the other side.”
At the time, it was rumored that Shu Qi felt disheartened when Stephen failed to come to her defense as she was getting attacked by negative rumors. Another rumor indicated that Stephen’s mother disproved his relationship with Shu Qi due to her soft core porn past, thus forcing Stephen to cut ties with Shu Qi.
Shu Qi later denied the break-up allegations, but did not comment on whether or not she was dating Stephen. As for Stephen, the actor-director chose not to comment.
In November 2012, noise rang again for Shu Qi and Stephen as their ambiguous relationship was once again brought back to the table. The pair was caught openly flirting online, sparking rumors that they have gotten back together. These rumors stayed for the next few months until last week on April 22, when Shu Qi allegedly hinted at another breakup with Stephen through an ambiguous online post.
Some of the quotes in the long Facebook post include, “When a woman meets a good man, there is no need for her to be mature. When a woman grows stronger and more mature, it means that she hasn’t met a good man!” and “Don’t believe in your memories. The one in your memory may not be thinking about you.” The feminine post ended with a self-assuring message: “I don’t need nods of approval. I am living so those who hate me will continue to be uncomfortable with my existence.”
Before she made the Facebook post, Shu Qi and Stephen were already speculated to have broken up when Stephen failed to show up at Shu Qi’s birthday party earlier, who turned 37 years old on April 16. Another rumor indicated that Stephen has been giving Shu Qi the cold shoulder when she publicly denounced Stephen’s Tai Chi Zero <太極1從零開始> script as “messy.” A third rumor alleged that Stephen was annoyed at Shu Qi’s “ambiguous responses” to the press in regards to questions about their romance, and some say he feared Shu Qi would reconcile with her ex-boyfriend Leon Lai (黎明), who recently separated with his wife of four years, Gaile Lok (樂基兒).
These are, of course, all merely rumors. Sharp-eyed netizens noticed that Shu Qi’s long Facebook post seemed to have been a reblog of a long post on Weibo. Some believed that the reason for the post was to encourage Shu Qi’s female friends, and not necessarily an encouragement for herself.

It’s just soft-core, man, it’s not like anything is put into anything.
Yea, that’s what happened with Leon Lai’s father right? Gees, so sad. I wish more people would understand she probably had her circumstances debuting that way.
hhh, I don’t feel we should compromise ourselves to be kind to her and Yeep Yuk Heng by excusing their choice to do porn – whatever – the point is – whether they find true love is their business and frankly, Shu Qi looks like she needs that – she didn’t sell herself as a celebrity hooker.
She’s pretty upset about it herself. Shu Qi’s tried her entire career to make everybody forget the Cat. III stuff she did to get her foot into the business.
Two words: sex symbol.
She did what she had to do, and no-one’s really lambasting her for it, especially us guys. She was the hottest thing 15~20 years ago when she first debuted. People were asking “eh, you know who Shu Qi is? She’s hot as hell, yo”. The most desired woman in HK, and object of lust, nothing wrong with it.
Just like Anthony Wong doing those Cat. III villain roles because he’s Eurasian, no-one’s calling him disgusting or anything for it. He has to do it to get his name out there while feeding his family. If you ask me, Shu Qi’s biggest detractor is Shu Qi herself.
Well yea there’s no need to compromise ourselves to be kind because it was her choice, but if we would try to crawl under her skin and understand why she did what she did, maybe the stigma would not have stuck with her for so long because her choice didn’t really hurt anybody, not like she drove by shooting or something.
I personally don’t care. She’s still sexy and still hot.
Aya Hirano, a Japanese singer and voice actress for many famous anime had sex with her entire band (except for the bassist, oh man, bassists have it tough). Now that’s dirty.
Lol!
it’s going to affect their bloodline forever because we have your mother/grandmother on VCD.
Ooh ya I didn’t about that part. Now that’s tricky. Good thing she has made some money over the years, just in case, the kids / grand kids need therapy. It cost so much these days and yet the drugs don’t work.
*Oops, I mean I didn’t think. Told you the drugs don’t work, I can’t even think straight. Lol.
you know what would be nice? If Stephen Fung never spotted her social vulnerability i.e. easy to dump and exploited just as he did with Karen Mok, then he only faked dated her just like Gaile Lok fake married Lai Ming (and generously compensated for the besmirchment) so that Lai Ming could now marry Shu Qi because now his fans are too old/exhausted to care that their idea of a Prince Charming should not hesitate to marry someone with her past.
Over the years, Shu Qi’s personality and conduct has just been pitiful – her naive Taiwanese accent and seeming lack of mercenary intent despite having a very good career is disarming whereas Mok Mun Wai is probably very irritating.
It would make good fiction, if she gets her Pretty Woman/Cinderella moment and Lai Ming now looking less “fresh” marries her. I think society would accept that because of the travails on both sides thanks to Stephen Fung and Gaile Lok.
Or it could be that Lai Ming is still not going to want to be married to someone who has been seen by everyone else even though it looks to me like he tried to make his own private Shu Qi in Gaile Lok.
In any case, I hope and pray that Shu Qi’s nest egg makes her happy.
I’m hoping for the conspiracy.

In the words of Shu Qi, Now this script just sounds messy. 😛
all you need is Stephen Fung and Gaile Lok to do a good deed for Lai Ming and his future Mrs. – this will also be some kind of object lesson to society via the gossip columns – that being a sex kitten is not as deserving of social ostracization as being a Japanese rampager. She’s her own victim – so it would not be appropriate to stone her or socially ostracize her.
I mean Michelle Reis if she really did what she admits to doing is way way worse than Shu Qi but nobody pushes her around or denies her her pose of respectability. I would not like to be her child sitting across the conference table from one of his mother’s old clients however.
Oh my, what did Michelle Reis do? I can’t remember how I got to know about her, I think it was in a movie.
Michelle Reis is the Mean Girl mistress that the late Mrs. Lau hinted would call her up in the middle of the night and use foul language to create marital discord and therefore Mrs. Lau kept praising Rosamund Kwan for her breeding (and possibly diluting Joseph Lau’s ardor for Michelle Reis). I don’t know if this was just a soap opera created for the public. But Michelle Reis always gives the most amazingly brittle Cantonese mini interviews on youtube. She always sounds wary, despite her education like her Cantonese is not too good and she always sounds on edge and ready to insult less fortunate beauties which she often does.
I guess her good deed is that she married Julian Ho after Pansy Ho so she deflated any sense of specialness from being a hybrid in HK.
Then the worst thing she has done is to maliciously post the photo of the traffic cop who wrote a ticket for her speedster husband. She had to have known that would endanger the cop’s job. That is really horrid and she knows how hard it is to have a solid rice bowl in HK. She knew exactly what she was doing when she posted that last week and since her husband was furious at the cop, he has to bear responsibility for it so she has suddenly pulled him into the arena where HK people who resent those more fortunate are going to feel aggrieved and hold him as an accessory to that cop’s career changes.
Wow. Thanks for sharing, I never knew..Wow. I’m still shocked. Just a coupe of days ago I read about her wanting to raise her kid right.
Gees, poor cop. I hope he doesn’t lose his job. Now I feel sad for him.
Shu Qi hasn’t hurt anyone other than herself, right?
Shu Qi needs to look for someone outside HK. There’s a whole world (of men) outside of HK, why insist on their acceptance. Tell the judgmental HK public to screw off and call it a day.
