Recently, Charmaine Li (李思欣) falls down from the escalator at Causeway Bay train station and her right knee is injured as a result. She wears flat heels and her knee is covered with bandage to attend an event today: "I am walking very slowly and gently today. (Worry about scar?) I need to restrict my diet such as avoiding seafood, beef and egg. I am going out for barbecue with my friend later and eating sausages only."

Charmaine confesses that her previous injuries are on her right leg as well and asking if her husband, Ricky Fan (范振鋒) helps her to bathe, she says: "Nope but he takes very good care of me. We will be working in Shanghai together and removing the bandage upon returning to Hong Kong."

Charmaine Li (李思欣) had an accident once taking public transport last month and fortunately, she was in fine condition. On Instagram, she shared photo of her leg's injury and disclosed she was injured during filming: "Filming forest scene and I lost my balance as did not see a hole. My right leg is swollen and painful now!" It is believed that her husband, Ricky Fan (范振鋒) definitely feels heart pain for his wife.

In just a blink of an eye, Charmaine Li has already been working at TVB for 9 years. Since her debut series Sunshine Heartbeat, she has been in many series over the years, but Charmaine frankly expressed her contract with TVB is ending in May and has not discuss a renewal yet. She said there are many other options outside of TVB available to her. When asked of the chances of her renewing the contract? She said without hesitation that other TV stations have met with her as well, but nothing is confirmed yet. She expressed the most important to her is not money, but the opportunities. "This year I will be trying many new things, and now I'm thinking whether I should renew the TVB contract or develop outside. Later, I will be hosting a new radio show that is a lot like All Things Girl. Also, I am taking singing lessons in hope to plan for my future." It turns out, Charmaine has her own online business where she sells diamonds.

In the past, Charmaine focused on her acting in TV series, but after being with TVB for so many years, she usually shoots ancient or pre-modern series. She expressed she doesn't want to be branded to one type of role. She hopes to try out different types of roles, such as a doctor, lawyer or other professionals. She said: "I've been acting so long and now have higher expectation on myself. I hope for new challenges on a higher level and more opportunities. Money is not my most important thing, it is the screen time and opportunity that is more important."

Charmaine is currently taking singing lessons, asked if she has high ambitions in this area? She said: "To me, singing is very deep. My husband (Ricky Fan)had Dai Sze Chung as his singing teacher many years ago and had good success. I hope I'll have achievements as soon as possible too, but can't rush it. Have to take it slowly and practice more."

Charmaine Li and DJ Ricky Fan held their wedding banquet at the J.W. Marriott Hotel in Hong Kong. The bridemaids and groomsmen included Linda Chung, Janet Chow, Vivien Yeo, DJ Bob and Eddie Ng. The newly wedded couple followed reporters' instructions and did a kiss at an angle, but appeared quite embarrassed.

The bride, Charmaine Li was dressed in a sexy wedding dress pushing up her chest area. She said: "Earlier when we were married in Guam, it was very romantic. Today it is our first friend gathering, very happy and lively. (Rushing to have a Dragon baby?) I'm ready! But, I want to enjoy a two-person world first and later I will have to get back into filming series. After I complete the jobs I'm working on now, we will be going on our honeymoon late March to Europe."

Ricky sighed heavily that it was a disaster for him when he was picking up his bride. He said: "They were playing me so much, I started sweating. I had to use my toe to pick up mahjong pieces in the ice and the groomsmen had to carry me. I had to kiss 8 photos of my wife while doing a hand stand. (In a hurry to have babies?) I'm in a hurry every day to be a better person. My wife is still young, we will rush to have a Dragon baby 12 years later."

Linda Chung will marry at age 30
It's Linda's first time being a bridesmaid, she expressed she's desperate to marry too. She said: "I've known Charmaine for 6 years. I witnessed the couple from the time they started dating up until now when they are married. (When is it your turn to admit your relationship?) It is normal to have friend gatherings, and when taking pictures, of course would have arms around shoulders. (You'll admit when you get marry?) No. I really want to find a good and responsible man that I can spend the rest of my life and marry at age 30. I still have 3 more years, can't force it! (Is your love life going smoothly?) I am living a happy life now. (Philip Ng hasn't proposed to you?) Let's stick to the newly wedded couple, I hope they can have a Dragon baby."

Charmaine Li and Ricky Fan will be getting married on January 15, 2012. The two have already taken their wedding photos, but Ricky hasn't officially proposed yet. The other day, he and a group of good friends including Bobby Au-Yeung and Timmy Hung teamed up and gave Charmaine a surprising proposal. Ricky suddenly got on his knees for the proposal and surprised Charmaine so much she teared up emotionally.

For their wedding, Benny Chan, Vivien Yeo, Janet Chow and Toby Leung will serve as either the groomsmen and bridesmaids. Since Ricky hadn't officially proposed to Charmaine yet, he and his friends decided to come up with a surprise proposal. That day, Bobby was eating and deliberately told Charmaine to play a guessing game. Charmaine lost the game and had to drink, but Ricky quickly interrupted: "There's so much, don't drink!" Bobby pretended to be upset and walked away and then turned to Ricky to say: "She lost and didn't drink, such bad character." Ricky said: "No need, Charmaine and I leaving." Charmaine was clueless and didn't know what to do, then Yuen Biu, who rarely knows what's going on, came in and prepared to be the 'middleman'. To avoid the act to get out of hand, Ricky took out a 1 carat diamond ring and flowers, got on his knees and proposed to Charmaine. Future bride Janet Chow was very emotional and teared up as well!

Later, Charmaine said over the phone, at the time she was stiff. Aside from feeling emotional and tearing up, she also praised how attentive Ricky was. He first told her parents to be at the scene and prepared a whole act. She said: "Never thought I'll see such a scene, really 'surprising'! No wonder people told me to put on makeup before I went and asked me if there was a video camera. (Were you pleased?) Very pleased. (The ring is a whole carat!) He even said if he earns enough money, it won't be a problem if he gives me a bigger diamond each year." Yesterday on Weibo Charmaine emotionally thanked Ricky and his group of friends for giving her such a surprising wedding proposal. She also thanked Ricky for giving her favorite champagne roses.

It hasn't even been a year since Metro Radio DJ Ricky Fan and TVB artist Charmaine Li have been dating, but they have already decided to get marry on January 15, 2012. A few days ago, Ricky personally admitted to the good news over a phone interview. When asked if its because of a baby that they are getting married? He laughed: "No, marriage is between two people, not related to a third party or baby." He laughed and said he had not formally proposed to Charmaine yet, but will do a formal one soon. Initially Benny Chan agreed to be his best man 10 years ago, but now that Benny is already married, he will just have to find another candidate.

Rushed to become the Rabbit (2012 Zodiac Year) Bride, Charmaine Li laughed over the phone interview: "Yes, didn't think we'll announce that quickly because the plans really are preliminary. We just started planning the banquet. (How are you feeling?) Of course I'm happy."

Steven Ma and Charmaine Li attended a public event as ambassadors. As his nose allergies is acting up again, he has to bravely risk getting off-key to perform a song. He said: "On my 26th birthday I won the lottery, the third prize which was over a 1 million. Too bad there were 110 people who also won, so I only got 30 something thousand. The winning ticket was given to me by my assistant as a birthday gift. So I had to split half of it with [him/her] (How did you spend it?) Treat friends to a meal. (It was reported that you told Pierre to get lost [from industry]?) Pierre already called me and told me he never said that. He felt that this really angered me and he's sorry. He only said there was a senior who's words were hurtful to him. I have to explain too, to prove my innocence. I am a man that will not say 'get lost', also it was only last year that I started worked with Pierre, we never collaborated before then. The incident will be pass to my lawyer to handle."

Charmaine Li once participated in Junior Police Call, she expressed that before she learned Kung Fu at HK Central Police Station. Asked if her Kung Fu skills are useful in costume dramas? She said: "The costume dramas I'm in, it is not required for me to fight. This time the costume drama I am working on is The King Among Phoenix with Jessica Hsuan. (It was rumored that Jessica is hard to get along with?) We had a great time working together, Jessica is a very good person, very nice!"
