Hawick Lau's Life Story - Part I

On October 13, 1974, Hawick Lau was born in Hong Kong. His ancestral home is Weihai, and his father Liu Dan is a well-known artist who later played the well-known "Classic Hong Qi Gong". In addition, Hawick Lau has a younger sister, Liu Cuiling, a family of four who enjoy themselves together.

When he was a teenager, Hawick Lau moved to Canada with his family. Of course, this will cost a lot of money, but his father Liu Dan decided to move the whole family in consideration of the growth and development of his children. Because of the filming, Liu Dan often flew between Hong Kong and Canada. As a result, only his mother, sister and Liu Hawick were the only people in the family together, so he knew what a man's responsibilities were since he was a child. 

He is also very adaptable, and quickly developed fluent English. Recalling that time when he was a child, Hawick Lau told reporters that although the family's financial conditions were good, he would always find something to do. He said: "The earliest one was to clean the swimming pool for the neighbors during the summer vacation with home appliances, and earn a few dollars. Later, I started to find some jobs to exercise myself.

One thing is interesting, because he likes to draw and calculate since he was a child. When Lau was in college, he chose the Department of Architecture at Ryerson University in Canada, and his father, Dan Liu, also studied civil engineering before. Although on the surface, from the architecture department to the performing arts circle, Hawick Lau wants to cross-border a lot. However, after joining the acting career, Hawick Lau faces the primary problem of how to build his acting career step by step from scratch.


In 1993, Hawick Lau, who likes to sing, participated in the Canadian Chinese Singing Competition and won the championship in one fell swoop. Because the singing competition is related to TVB, in 1994, Hawick Lau entered the TVB artist training class to study. Hawick Lau said: “Just like my sister doesn’t like the life in the entertainment industry, she chooses to be a stewardess and is supported by my family. When I gave up building and embarked on Dad’s acting road, my family did not want me to work as hard as my dad, but they still fully supported me.

He started from running a dragon, and successively cooperated with artists such as Huang Qiusheng, Nicholas Tse, Luo Jialiang, etc., played Li Tianan in the classic TVB drama "True Love", and played Luo Jialiang's younger brother in the classic TVB series... During this period, Hawick Lau was also released in Hong Kong and Taiwan own record. 


In 2005, Hawick Lau, who had already had a good momentum of development, left TVB to seek development in the Mainland. To outsiders, this is incomprehensible, but Hawick Lau has his own thoughts: "The environment in Hong Kong is familiar to me, but I am unfamiliar with the mainland. I think a man has to be more cruel to himself and break into the world opportunity.

Through his years of hard work, Hawick Lau has cooperated with Ren Quan, Pan Hong and others, and played important roles in dramas such as "Wechat Business", "Phoenix Wears Peony", "Shun Niang", "Mother's Wife", "Single Mother". In 2012, Hawick Lau entered the ranks of first-line artists.


In 2008, when the financial tsunami struck, the three or four TV series that Hawick Lau participated in were all signed, but the investors suddenly withdrew their funds. Without a fixed income and not knowing when the filming will be available, Hawick Lau felt an unprecedented pressure. At this time, a friend introduced him to the business department of his company as a stock trader. After careful consideration, Hawick Lau decided to give it a try.

He studied architecture in college. After graduation, he worked as an actor for many years. He has never dealt with finance. The days when he first became a trader really lived like a year, but he was smart and easy to learn. He quickly figured out the way. Hawick Lau recalled: "When I first went, I saw those stock traders staring at the computer, staring at a bunch of constantly changing numbers on the screen. I was very curious. A number changes, but in real life some people may make tens of millions and some lose tens of millions. I first look at how other traders work, and understand what each number represents and what it means Rules, what skills, and then I started to do it on my own.


In this process, Hawick Lau has also learned a lot of knowledge and has a good income. It is just that the constantly changing but boring numbers on the screen cannot satisfy his sense of accomplishment. Soon, he had filming again, so he couldn't wait to return to the show business circle. In 2012, he also served for the first time as the producer of "A Midsummer Evening Sunny".

Hawick Lau has been filming appointments over the years, and has accumulated a lot of popularity. He has a group of hardcore fans who call themselves "Wafer", and the pay has always risen steadily. Many TV series starring Hawick Lau have achieved high ratings and soaring value. Coupled with his handsome appearance and confident and calm temperament, he has been favored by advertisers such as fashion and watches, and they have asked him to be an image.


Hawick Lau in life is a sports fan. He liked to play baseball and football when he was young. However, due to work reasons, what he did most was running and cycling. In him, there is a charm of calmness and passion.
