Sammi Cheng (鄭秀文) finally addressed her husband, Andy Hui’s (許志安), cheating scandal (安心偷食) with TVB actress, Jacqueline Wong (黃心穎) in an Instagram post she posted today. Everyone has been waiting for Sammi Cheng to respond to the comments as all the other parties had already addressed the media in some format. In Sammi Cheng’s post, she chose to forgive Andy Hui and expresses she won’t give up on each other. Many celebrities left encouraging comments in support of Sammi Cheng.

Here is the entire post:

“This incident is one of the most important lessons of our marriage. During this time, we experienced emotional ups and downs together. We also deeply talked about this incident for a very long time. This is a lesson between us both and also a lesson we must learn on the path of our marriage in the future. We went very deep and far into our marriage. Aside from giving each other happiness and warmth in our marriage, along the way there were also mistakes and forgiveness from each other. We always say who doesn’t have a past? But this is actually the case.

The most important thing out of this incident is to further experience the true meaning of marriage. Happiness isn’t smooth sailing, in between, there will be trials for us to experience the ups and downs together. In order for our relationship as husband and wife to grow and move forward, we need to go deeper into each other’s inner feelings and heart. We will strongly face each other’s weaknesses. Don’t give up on ourselves, don’t give up on each other. Correct each other’s mistakes, remind each other. During the history of our marriage, I truly believe experience and lessons will definitely help us get back on track and make life even better.

During this time, when we were trying to overcome the hardest obstacle, we held hands and prayed. This was a huge help for us. Today, the burden on my shoulders feel a lot lighter. I only hope everything will quickly settle down and return to normalcy. Lastly, I sincerely ask all members of the media to not wait around and interview my elderly parents, who have trouble with mobility. I don’t have anything more to express. From today onwards, I will only look forward. With the testimony of time, I will continue going forward step by step.”

Female artiste always show their glamorous side during an event and artiste who is full of confidence does not mind showing their natural side to the public. 47 years old Michelle Reis (李嘉欣) shared her selfie on 18 October and left a message: "I feel uncomfortable without taking selfies in this happy afternoon!" It is obvious that she has wrinkles but her smile remain full of confidence and the netizens remark that their goddess is getting old with the wrinkles. Some continue to praise she remains beautiful and young.

As for 45 years old Sammi Cheng (鄭秀文), she always does not not wear make-up and loves to show weird expressions when exercising. She manages to walk out from depression and continue with her happy life. 42 years old Charmaine Sheh (佘詩曼) likes to show her natural beauty and although she is currently single, but she is considered a rose despite over 40 years old.

Sammi Cheng (鄭秀文) went to the hospital to visit Andy Lau (劉德華) in the afternoon on 02 February and left after an hour. Upon leaving, she was wearing a mask and carrying a small paper bag. When asked about Andy's condition, Sammi said: "Okay! He is good!" Asking if Andy sat up to talk to her, Sammi did not reply directly but say he was good. When asked if she gave red packets to Andy's daughter, Sammi responded yes and boarded the car immediately.

Andy Hui and Sammi Cheng's relationship has persisted for many years. Last year, there were rumours that the two had secretly gotten married in Bali. Although they've been asked many times by the media, they still did not admit it. Recently, Sammi's father held a calligraphy exhibition, and Andy gifted a flower basket with the identity of "son-in-law" and even addressed it to Sammi's father as "Father-in-Law"; seemingly making their marriage public. The night before, Andy attended Yahoo Awards Ceremony and admitted that he already follows Sammy to call her father, "Daddy". As for their "marriage" rumours, he only expressed that "Only the two of them need to know, as long as they are happy", finally admitting for the first time that he has married Sammi.

Won't celebrate first year marriage anniversary

When Andy was asked about the flower basket gifted to "Father-in-Law", he laughed: "Didn't think you guys would ask. I didn't see it. Holding a calligraphy exhibition is a big thing, but because I was busy, I asked Sammi to help me prepare flowers. I didn't know what was written on it. That's pretty good." (You usually call him father-in-law?) I call him Daddy like the others." Asked if they are already married? He tacitly admitted and replied: "Okay la, as long as we both know and we're happy, (marriage) is just a word (phrase)." How will you celebrate your one year marriage anniversary? Andy replied: "No special celebration. (Celebrating at the HK Coliseum?) I just helped them organize the tickets, very tough work!"

Hold banquet to make parents happy

Earlier, Andy had taken out 40,000,000 HKD to buy property, is it Sammi that gave him good luck? Andy said: "If I play soccer then I will have good luck." (T/N: Play on words with the word foot, as "腳頭好" means having good luck in Chinese) As for Sammi praising him for being good at chores, Andy expressed: "I didn't plan on talking about this before, seems very unmanly in front of my friends, but I still have to do it." Still have to hold a banquet? He laughed: "I was talking about cleaning! (Hold a banquet to make the elderlies happy?) Okay!" Speaking of the "big four" awards ceremonies, Andy said that if he doesn't have any jobs, he will attend for sure. Right now, he's confirmed to attend the Metro and Commercial Radio (Chik Chak) awards. If he goes to the TVB Awards Ceremony, will he get the "Most Popular Male Singer" award? He laughed: "Again? Nah."

Sammi Cheng finished filming scenes in England for "Triumph in the Skies" movie, and immediately returned to Hong Kong to attend a watch event. Sammi has been the endorsor for this brand for a consecutive 4 years. She expressed that this endorsement has brought advantages for her family too. Asked if Andy has also gotten advantages? She laughed: "I can lend him the watches. I am very against couple watches, too cheesy. If the watch is suitable for both of us, then we can share it. I collect watches because there is sentimental value."

Asked if Andy has gifted her watches? She sweetly smiled and nodded, but to sentiment what occassion remains a secret. Asked if she will leave her collection for the next generation? She immediately said: "I won't have a next generation, stops right here. Luckily, my mom already has 4 grandchildren, so I don't have anyh pressure to have kids. One of my elder sisters also likes freedom, like me. There are too many constraints with having a baby, more suitable not to have kids."

Won't add any more shows for December concert, unless for charity

Regarding her concert tickets getting resold for very high prices (due to the high demand), will she add any more shows to her current planned 12 shows? Sammi expressed she also knows that the most expensive $680 HKD ticket is being sold for 4 times to price, she worries that the people who buy the tickets will also have 4 times the expectations, feeling a bit of pressure. She stated that unless it's for charity, then she will consider adding more shows. Speaking of Roy Chow's domestic abuse scandal, Sammi expressed although they are both Christians, they aren't very familiar with each other, nor is it convenient for her to talk about other people's family matters. She believes that religious believers will also meet with tragedies and trials and commit wrongs. She gives them her blessings and hopes they can overcome this smoothly.

It has been rumored that Andy Hui and Sammi Cheng are getting married. Yesterday it was reported again that both sides of the family are rushing the couple to marry and Andy has decided to take a 3 month break from September to November to focus on the secret marriage. Reporters contacted the managers to confirm, and they expressed there has not been any news of marriage. Sammi and Andy both still have jobs lined up from September to November and everything is in normal operation.

The other night, Joey Yung, Andy Hui and C AllStar collaborated in the Music is Live Concert. Andy and Joey, who was dressed in a transparent outfit dueted No Results (沒結果). Andy was extremely into the performance, not only did he wrap his arm around Joey's waist, but also laid on her chest, making everyone in the audience let out 'wah' sounds. During Joey's solo, she expressed she believes music will be very meaningful when old, middle-aged and young singers gather together. She teased Andy is the old one, she's the middle-aged one and C AllStar is the young ones. Recalling her first collaboration in a series with Andy, Joey said she loves men with single eyelids and at the time, she couldn't look at Andy for more than 3 seconds because she was afraid she would get 'electrified' by Tony Leung-like eye expressions. Now that she's a big girl, she is no longer afraid.

Near the end of the concert, Andy played and sang several of his songs like Mud 爛泥 and Only You Cannot Be Replaced 唯獨你是不可取替. He expressed he fell for the piano after this concert and especially went for 7 piano lessons. Following his mini speech, he invited Joey out with her guitar and the two performed Flower Thousand Trees 花千樹 together. Joey shouted "I'm really scared" and claimed their performance is basically like the navy verse the sailors. Since Andy said he has no problem playing the piano, she could only say the same thing, that she has no problem playing the guitar.

After the show, Joey laughed and said she was too into the performance and couldn't feel the position of where Andy was laying on her chest at all. She believes he was floating over her breast bone area. Andy expressed it was only a superficial touch and he didn't come into contact with other areas of the body. He laughed and said he was so into the performance, when he did the sleeping pose while laying on Joey, his eyes were closed and didn't look down. When asked if Andy fears girlfriend Sammi Cheng may get upset that he's laying on Joey's chest? Andy denied, and stressed the performance could easily get too over, so its a challenge to just do it superficially but still have the feeling. He also stressed the performance is just necessary for his work, so he does not need to tell his girlfriend. If his girlfriend has intimate actions with other people, he will not have a problem either.

Yesterday Sammi Cheng attended an event for fashion label Aquascutum as their spokesperson. When speaking of Sammi hurried over to Andy Hui's concert right after she got back to HK from Macau, she laughed and admitted: "I wasn't rushing, just working normally." She expressed she only enjoyed a third of the concert. Was Andy upset she only watched for a short time? She embarrassingly begged for mercy: "Help me! Don't talk about him. (Today your outfit for this fashion label event was chosen for you by Andy?) Not related to him, I choose my own clothing. We are always talking about Andy, so boring."

When speaking of Andy mentioning if Sammi or Dicky Cheung fell in the water together, he'll only rescue Sammi and not Dicky? Sammi laughed: "It's just from his heart, I don't want to talk about it anymore because this is never ending. Dicky Cheung made a huge scene this time! I hope everyone will give us some space. We hope to be together like a regular couple as much as possible. Aside from work, we still have our own private space." Dicky called her 'Mrs. On'? She said: "I cannot hear, not responding."

It was rumored the Mainland PRC Censorship issued a "limit order" on Hong Kong artists to participate in Mainland programs to avoid stealing jobs from local artists. Sammi expressed: "I am not worried, there will naturally be a door that opens. I also don't know the issue."

Cantopop singers Andy Hui and Sammi Cheng reconciled this March, after a seven-year separation, much to the delight of their fans.

The pair later went on an early honeymoon in Tokyo in June.

Recently, it was said that Andy and Sammi would be moving into a luxury apartment, which Andy had bought earlier this year.

According to the Hong Kong media, the 1,700-square feet (approximately 158 square metres) luxury apartment in Yukon Court is worth HKD$24.28 million (SGD$3.7 million) and renovation work for the unit had been completed.

It is believed that the couple is currently busy decorating their apartment, and hopes to move in during the Mid Autumn Festival in September.

Andy was previously staying in a 4,000-square feet (approximately 372 square metres) rented apartment at Kadoorie Hill. He was living with his father and his elder brother's family.

"After his father passed away, Andy wanted to move out. He wanted to spend more time alone with Sammi after they reconciled, so he bought a place at Yukon Court, West Hill. It is not even a five-minute drive away from Sammi's place, so it's easier when Sammi wants to visit him," an insider said.

However, there were speculations that Sammi is using her current residence as a front and is actually cohabiting with Andy secretly.

Whenever she noticed the media trailing her, she would return to her own place. Otherwise, she would accompany Andy at Yukon Court, taking the opportunity to spend more quality time together.

After 20 years of a on-off relationship, Sammi Cheng and Andy Hui finally admitted that they have gotten back together early this year. After being spotted dining together in aHong Kong restaurant, the couple finally admitted their reunion which spurred rumours of wedding bells on the horizon.

Following a rumour which previously claimed that the pair is getting hitched in August, the latest speculation is that a date has been set in October.

The pair was spotted at night on April 29 heading out for dinner with Sammi's family in a private home-restaurant after the Hong Kong actress-singer returned from a trip to Yunnan. Although she is feeling a little under the weather, Sammi was in a jovial mood and ate quite a bit,

Andy was seen bonding with his missus's parents across the table, and was treated like a son-in-law by Sammi's father.

After dinner, the couple headed out to another store for frozen yogurt. Even though they spotted reporters tailing them, the couple didn't seem to mind and even went for a joyride before heading back to Sammi's condo.

The couple then headed out again to meet Sammi's younger brother in a restaurant. The lovebirds painted a picture of bliss when they were seen holding hands and hugging each other throughout the night.

According to sources, it is believed that Andy met up with Sammi's family to discuss their impending wedding plans.

IFPI Hong Kong Top Sales Music Awards Presentation 2010 was held last night at the HK Convention and Exhibition Centre. As Universal Music, Warners Music, Sony Music, EMI and BMA (Big 5) withdrew from IFPI HK, first line singers Eason Chan and Hacken Lee's numbers were not taken into account. As a result, more than half of the awards were swept by East Asia and EEG singers. Sammi Cheng took home 6 awards and was the big winner of the night, she won: Top Ten Best Sales Releases (Cantonese), Top Ten Best Sales Releases (Mandarin), Best Sales Releases Local Live Recording, Top Ten Best Sales Local Artistes, Best Sales Local Female Vocalist of the Year and Best Sales Cantonese Release.

Behind Sammi with 4 awards was Raymond Lam, he won Top Ten Best Sales Releases (Cantonse), Best Sales Releases Local Live Recordings, Top Ten Best Sales Local Male Vocalist and Best Sales Local Male Vocalist of the Year.

Last night the two big winners took pictures together backstage, Sammi was jumping with joy as she quickly uploaded her photo with Raymond on Weibo. She joked and said it's "Fung and Mi", and greatly praised Raymond's good singing. She said: "When I was waiting to go out on stage, he was performing, I listened carefully, his live performance level is certainty good."

Sammi frankly said the happiest thing about winning the award is being able to thank her religious beliefs. She said: "When I first did this album Faith, it was all because of my religion, God is actually the person who won this award, but he won't come down to get it, so I will take it on his behalf."

Being the Best Selling Local Male Vocalist, Raymond expressed that he is just as happy as Sammi. He recalls 10 years ago when he was still working as a host for TVB8, he interviewed Sammi before. Since the exposure of his intimate photos with ex-girlfriend Mavis Pan, the gossips comes in one after another. When speaking of Moses Chan suggesting that he comes forward to clarify the whole situation again, Raymond said: "Thanks for the concern. To me, it is all the past, I don't want people that worry about me to worry more. I will focus on work."

Joey Yung won two awards Top Ten Best Sales Releases (Cantonese) and Top Ten Best Sales Local Artistes. Twins also won two awards, while Charlene Choi won Top Ten Best Sales Releases (Mandarin) as a solo artist. When Twins were on stage, Gillian Chung gave Ah Sa a kiss, seriously a good friend.

Last night, the even organizers did not make arrangements for the behind-the-scenes music professionals to accept awards on stage, they were just notified to pick up their awards in the reception area. This led to a 'bomb' explosion with dissatisfied behind-the-scenes people. When Joey learned about this issue, she supported the behind-the-scenes: "That is not enough respect, it's like taking a key. I greatly respect the behind-the-scenes people, they are life savers. How they were treated this time is hard to avoid unhappiness, but I hope they don't mind. It's just like a game!" Asked if she had been neglected before? Joey said: "I don't remember, I am very lucky, my brain can only remember 1 or 2 neglecting words. I just treat it as encouragement. In fact, the world is round, don't focus too much on how people views you."

Sammi Cheng is currently in Yunnan shooting for Johnnie To's new film with ex-rumored boyfriend Louis Koo. Yesterday Andy announced that he got back together with Sammi.

According to Sammi's close friend, reveals that [he/she] totally didn't know they were back together: "Sammi had always kept her love life a secret. She never told us friends, just that recently she's been said as Andy and Michelle's third person. She was very unhappy, taking in such a big accusation! In fact, after she broke up with Andy, they rarely keep in touch. It was only when Sammi made her comeback, the two were in the same company and had more contact." It was said Andy is using Sammi for promotions, the close friend said: "It's hard not to get criticized by people, but what's important is that Sammi is happy, her group of friends wishes her the best."

Currently in Yunnan, Sammi posted a new message on Weibo, expressing her support for Andy. The full message is as follows:

What Andy voiced out today, is our consensus. "Reconcile" is a word in the public's heart that is too anticipated. What fairytale, what perfect endings, I'm honestly afraid of this pressure. I'm not trying to make some so-called world shocking love, I just want to engage in a normal and practical love life. I admit that Andy and I have started a relationship again. What is the outcome? I cannot say. We broke up several years ago, we have to give each other suitable changes. We honestly need need 'to get along' and 'space'. Establishing the 'space' that we need is completely nonexistent in the world because video cameras and cameras suddenly intrudes into our peaceful moment, but what's strange is that my heart feels calm because I have always carried a 'let nature take its course' attitude. But not even a day has passed yet and we're already bombarded with questions about when we're getting married? When are we having kids? Yo! In the last 10 years we bumped into one another a few times, in the current phase, I honestly cannot confirm anything. Honestly, Andy was in a difficult position in this relationship, people are accustomed to measure his career success with me and him, but I can confirm that the first time he and I got together, both of us had nothing. As I said, couples had never been competitive or in a competition. Two people together, personality, thoughts, actions, and values are in 'agreement', are 'complementary' and 'communication', that is the main point.

In this situation, we are starting from fresh. I frankly hope that this relationship can blossom. Today I speak out, what I hope the most is for the media to give us 'space', let us live through a true normal love life.

Not concealing anything from you, that day at Taiping Museum, I was able to feel a type of happiness belonging to love all over again. This feeling, has been a long time. It's about time the 'straw mushroom' above my head fade away. On another note, 'pork spleen' is not for me to eat! That day what I got rid of was 'salted ox tongue'!"

Andy Hui and ex-lover Sammi Cheng's love sparks is reborn. A few days ago, the two went out to eat in Jordan. Two hours later, the two left the location chatting and laughing nonstop, the couple appeared very sweet together. After a pleasant night, the next day when Sammi went back to work she got back all her energy from the love, and wrote on Weibo: "A good feeling."

That afternoon, when Sammi accompanied Andy out for afternoon tea, [Apple Daily] reporters spotted them and asked Sammi if she got back together with Andy? She was in an extremely good mood and smiled the whole time, but she did not respond.

Regarding if Sammi and Andy got back together? Sammi's manager expressed: "In fact, I didn't know they had a meal together. In the standpoint of her record label, we do not have anything to say." Both Andy and Sammi said they won't respond through their record labels.

The first of two show Gigi Leung HK G Night Concert 2011 was held in HK Coliseum the night before (the 27th). Gigi invited Sammi Cheng as her guest performer. Sammi didn't forget to take Gigi's past love relationships out to joke with. She joked: "I saw her turn from an idol singer into a singer-songwriter, going from HK to Taiwan to Mainland, eating Chinese Yee Mein (Ekin Cheng) to having French snail (Sly). Next year will she go have Japanese ramen? You are good, can you teach me?" Gigi teased back: "You aren't bad either, eating here and there, still on the same one!" Getting teased back, Sammi laughed: "I've been eating straw mushroom lately...I deserve it. You leave, go down and change your clothes!" Sammi joked that she's an unpaid guest, she had to get her hair done and buy new clothes, spending over HK$10,000 out of the blue. However, she expressed of course she exaggerated it, then she performed Wrong Stop.

Also, Gigi talked about her past and future view on love, and dedicated the song March Fireworks to ex-lover Ekin Cheng. She said: "This song is for that past one." Audience then shouted out, Gigi said: "What? There's not that many." She also said that she's troubled because everyone thinks she's very strong, but compared herself to the African giraffe. She said giraffes are very tall, but they are in fact timid. She has also been misunderstood by people in the same way, should be included with giraffes to protect animals. Mentioning the future, Gigi said: "Women are waiting for one person, that person is like the manager, have security, on call 24 hours, can appear at anytime, doesn't charge for administrative costs and provides the expenses. If he's a handsome secure, then it would be flourishing, we are all waiting for this handsome secure." She performed the song Waiting For Someone dedicated to that future person.

Gigi witnesses a fan's proposal to partner

On the 28th, Gigi held the last show of her concert and invited Richie Ren as her guest performer. Gigi's boyfriend Matthew along with several other good friends attended to support her. Gigi made arrangements for a fan to proposal to their other half live on the spot. This fan has followed Gigi for over 10 years, and Gigi was able to witness the moment of his proposal, she was so touched she teared up.

Sammi Cheng and rumored boyfriend Louis Koo are collaborating again. The two will be starring in Director Johnnie To's new romantic film. The day before, Media Asia Film Company's boss Peter Lam, Chairman John Chong and actors Michael Wong and Wilfred Lau attended the opening blessing ceremony. The group then went to a place 4000 meters above sea level and certainly has a sense of danger.

Sammi expressed that she's already mentally prepared to start more rumors with Louis: "There will definitely be these types of rumors, I'm already mentally prepared. Spread the rumors!" It was said that this film hindered her and Andy Hui's reconcile, Sammi said: "This is all just reports, it is their own business." Asked if she will talk to Andy about it? She said: "Nope, nothing to say!"

In the film, Sammi plays a truck driver from Hong Kong residing in Mainland, and accidentally encounters superstar Louis Koo by chance. In the past, Sammi had an asthma attack when she was filming up in Mt. Emei, this time going 4000 meters above sea level, she said: "I am not too worried, leave it to God! I heard that doing more exercises makes it more difficult to handle high mountains. I usually do a lot of exercises, so I am more worried about this." She expressed that in the recent years, she has been controlling her asthma well, and has better health compared to when she was younger. Earlier Johnnie To teased that Louis is a 'weakling', worrying him. When Sammi heard this, she laughed out loud: "I feel that he really is weak, I will protect him!"

Johnnie teased that Louis had weak health, Louis refuted: "He's just joking, I am more worried about him!" Asked if he'll be Sammi's local envoy? Louis felt that all the staff gives the best care, wouldn't be good if there were any accidents. When speaking of his rumors with Sammi, Louis said: "I don't care about any rumor, what's important is good acting, professional work, those are my responsibilities." It has been 7 years since they collaborated, Louis hopes that this time there will be even better results. Louis drew from his experience from the last trip to Mt. Emei, this time he will be fully prepared carrying oxygen essential materials.

AFTER a two-year break from showbiz, Hong Kong actress-singer Sammi Cheng has re-invented herself and is as popular as ever.

The diva has been regularly writing columns and doing illustrations for Hong Kong newspapers.

Early this year, the 38-year-old also released her memoirs, Worth It, which made Hong Kong's bestsellers' lists.

She said: "Columns are channels for me to vent my feelings. I've enjoyed writing since childhood because I think words exude indescribable power."

But Cheng admitted she is slow in putting her thoughts to words.

She said: "Writing columns usually requires much deep thought and I often give editors grief as I don't submit my drafts until the last minute."

Cheng said she does illustrations when words cannot describe her feelings.

She said: "When I'm depressed, drawing is very good therapy."

As if being a top Cantopop queen and best-selling author aren't enough, Cheng may release a cookbook soon.

She said: "I try to marry my work with my beliefs. I also have strange ideas. I may release a cookbook, but I am no chef.

"But I think people may be encouraged to try cooking if they read about my attempts to cook simple dishes. I hope to realise my dream next year."

But Cheng's culinary skills are almost non-existent - the paparazzi have caught her eating instant noodles for dinner.

She said: "I don't even have a clue as to how to turn on my stove. So if I were to release a cookbook, I must make an effort to learn cooking to encourage others in the same situation."

After all those years of keeping a low profile, Cheng's outlook on life has changed dramatically.

Now, the born-again Christian does not worry about success or failure, choosing instead to enjoy the process of doing things.

Cheng said: "I used to believe in fate. I used to think that good and bad luck would dominate a person's life. But after embracing Christianity again, my philosophy has changed. Now, I leave everything to God's will."

Her career has peaked with good results when it comes to record sales and box-office takings.

Her comeback Show Mi Tour has also been rewarding. But the same can't be said of her love life.

After all, Cheng hasn't had a serious relationship since she and Hong Kong actor-singer Andy Hui broke up in 2004 after a 13-year relationship.

She said: "Of course, I look forward to meeting the right person. But I'll leave it to God."

So what is Cheng's attitude towards love, family and marriage?

She said: "All three are important to me. Marriage is too important to a girl. If a marriage is unhappy, the unhappy spouse bears the burden alone.

"So I'm not bothered no matter what stories the media spins about my romances. As long as I listen to myself, that's what matters."

Kinship over romance

Cheng added that she values kinship more than romance.

In Worth It, Cheng wrote about the unwavering care her family showered on her while she battled depression, saying that their support helped her to recover.

She said that in the past, she did not know how to control her emotions. This made her bad-tempered and, thus, unpopular with the Hong Kong media.

Cheng said: "I've matured a lot after recovering from depression. I communicate better with my family now because I've mellowed a lot."

She now prefers to spend her free time with her parents than be out painting the town red.

She said: "I had moved out on my own some time ago, so I cherish the times when I can see my parents."

With Andy Hui’s sudden announcement last week that he broke up with his girlfriend Michelle over 1 month ago, his relationship with former girlfriend Sammi Cheng is back in the spotlight. Even though Andy has not said anything further in the last few days since the announcement (on 7/31), that has not prevented rumors from spreading about a possible reunion between the two – the rumors have even gone so far as to say that Andy has already proposed to Sammi.

After 4 days of silence, Sammi finally ‘responded’ to the rumors – yesterday, she uploaded a 1300 word written statement to her Weibo in which she clarifies her relationship with Andy, states her position, and dispels the rumors regarding a possible reunion. In the statement, she writes that to change her relationship with Andy from friends back to lovers will be impossible and that since they broke up years ago, they never reunited at any point.

With regard to public opinion that Sammi has or will reunite with Andy, she writes: “Since the breakup, we never got back together [reunited] again – not at any point.” She admits that in the first few years after the breakup, she had thought about getting back together with Andy, but it never happened. She also says that both of them are very committed to being friends only – the romantic love that they used to have has turned into friendship; they are each other’s guardian angel. In the years since the breakup, both she and Andy have changed a lot – since it involves her future happiness, she cannot take it lightly and get back together with him just because of memories from 20 years ago. She also states that there are some relationships that she does not want to and cannot afford to disturb – she also emphasized that Andy did NOT propose to her.

In her statement, Sammi also mentions Andy’s girlfriend Michelle – she says that she has only met Michelle once before at Andy’s home. As for Michelle and Andy’s romance constantly being under the shadow of his previous relationship with her, Sammi says that she feels Michelle’s pain, however unfortunately it is something that she cannot control.

Sammi also writes that the ‘reunion’ rumors have been stressful for her and she hopes that everyone can let go and give her, Andy, and Michelle some space. At the end of her statement, Sammi emphasizes that she has not given up on love and will continue to pray to God to not have her wait too long for a new romance.

Yesterday, Sammi Cheng accepted an interview with Commercial Radio to promote her new Mandarin album. Regarding the issue of Fiona Sit being secretly photographed in her house and how upset she was, Sammi said that she can certainly empathize with Fiona, as she herself was secretly photographed in the past as well. She indicated that it is a shame how the government does not care about the privacy of artists in the entertainment circle: “Since the time that I was secretly photographed in my own home, I’ve been like a ‘bird startled by an arrow’….when I buy a house, I don’t consider whether it has a nice view or not anymore because it doesn’t matter – the shades are always closed anyway and the lights are always on. My electricity bill is a lot more expensive as well!” With regard to Fiona only wearing her underwear at home, Sammi indicated that it is no big deal, as the home is supposed to be the place where one feels the most comfortable and relaxed – in fact, she herself once forgot to close the shades when she was changing and was lucky that no one saw her. In a show of support for Fiona, Sammi said: “She shouldn’t feel overly upset or guilty because she did not do anything wrong – the magazine and its editors are the ones at fault. Of course, as a woman, there will be some embarrassment over this kind of thing – I was like that too back when it happened to me.”

Sammi also pointed out that if the person being secretly photographed were a high-ranking government official or other political figure, the government would surely create a law against it. She laments that artists are always neglected when it comes to privacy, yet they are expected to always ‘be proper’ and not do anything wrong: “I understand that as an artist, certain things ‘come with the territory’ whether we like it or not and that people will naturally be curious about our lives. If we’re being photographed while working or during work hours, then fine – but in the privacy of our own homes and during our own personal times? Absolutely not! Since the government doesn’t implement any laws with regard to this, there is a ‘grey area’ where people think that secretly taking photos of someone is not invasion of privacy and is not a crime. All we can do as artists is close all the windows and shades in our homes.”

A recent tabloid magazine claimed that Sammi Cheng Sau Man and Andy Hui Chi On have re-united and intend to get married at the end of the year. In a radio program yesterday, Sammi denied the rumors. Sammi said seriously, “I will not laugh. If I laugh, the public will think I am in a sweet mood. I will say in a serious tone that we have not re-united. I am not certain about the future. I am not God; I do not know what will happen. But at this stage, we are not back together!”

Since Sammi and Andy often travel together overseas due to their [concert engagements], did this result in strengthening their feelings for each other? Sammi noted that all Hong Kong residents knew that she had a good friendship with Andy, a friendship which Sammi treasured.

Did Sammi and Andy’s re-unification rumors hurt Andy’s girlfriend? Sammi said, “I do not know. You should ask Andy directly about matters concerning his girlfriend. As friends, we will not discuss such issues. Since the tabloid falsified news that Andy and I intend to get married, I had to publicly clarify the matter.”

For a long time, fans have wished that Sammi and Andy dated each other again. Some fans even attacked Andy’s girlfriend. Sammi frankly said that the fans’ behavior was common. After two artists dated and then broke up, fans will wish they mended their relationship. However, this was the fans’ wishful thinking only. Sammi also had her own wishes. Sammi said she wanted to avoid overly complex relationships. “I will only engage in a one-on-one relationship. I am 38-years-old. If there is someone suitable, I will not oppose the relationship. But I will not choose to enter an overly complicated relationship. I hope you understand.”

The tabloid also reported that Andy asked his girlfriend for his car and house keys back. Sammi said she did not know about the situation. Since Sammi is friends with Andy, she will choose to believe him since they were both victims of the tabloid report.

Sammi Cheng was promoting for her Mandarin album and especially flew to Taiwan for 4 days. The local media were curious of her latest news of getting back together with Andy Hui. It was rumored that she'll be a guest at Andy's concert in July, but Sammi denied. She said that she and Andy are really just good friends, she's already 38 years old and cannot be so impulsive when it comes to love. If she has a partner, she will cherish him. As for Andy, at this point in time, she does not see him as a lover. However it's hard to say what will happen in the future, no definite answer. Asked if it's because Andy has a girlfriend, so its not convenient for her to talk about their relationship, Sammi laughed: "It's complicated!"

This time in Taiwan, Sammi held a song listening event to promote for her gospel album. All earnings for this album will be donated to the Red Cross and World Vision. She hopes that God's love can be reached out to more people.

Sammi Cheng and Gillian Chung have nothing related, however Sammi's current assistant Clara was once Gillian's assistant. Clara is nicknamed "Auntie" in the industry. It appears that Clara is very loyal towards Sammi, but Gillian is still her number one priority.
