Andy Lau finally revealed himself in Malaysia! For several days, close to 100 medias had been trying to get hold of Andy, he used all sorts of method not get himself photographed at Carol Zhu Liqian’s father funeral, they finally appeared together when they went to pray respect to his “father-in-law” at the cemetery on the first seven (Chinese funeral custom of mourning the seventh day after death).
Andy thought he managed to fool the media that he had left Malaysia but the media never gave up as they finally confirmed his Zhu’s family son-in-law identity, Andy is doing all he could for Carol.
Having being criticize in recent days for not giving a title to Carol, Andy whom managed to shield himself away from the media’s camera with umbrellas at the funeral, but he did not get to pay respect to Carol’s father on that day, but he finally appeared as one of the Zhu family member, accompanied by Zhu’s siblings, they went to Fujian Pacific Hill cemetery for the first seven praying.
Andy, Carol, Carol’s sister and husband together with other family members initially wanted to reach rather deserted Fujian Pacific Hill cemetery early in the morning, but they lost their way thus they managed to reach the cemetery between 9-10am, the others being Carol’s siblings and three bodyguards, there was no relatives nor children, thus this clearly show that Andy’s position in the Zhu family is a family member, he wore a white T-shirt and jeans, he looked depressed, he was smart to keep a distance away from Carol but still keep eye contact to communicate. From Andy’s depressed look, it’s believed that he had a good relationship with his “father-in-law”.
When Andy discovered that reporters are around, he purposely hide behind people or turn his back to the reporters, when it was his turn to offer the incense, he did not choose to hide and he stand in front of the grave, this considered as an explanation to everybody in front of Carol’s father grave, he had done all he could. However a tall bodyguard walked toward the reporter swiftly to stop them from taking any more photographs. The reporter then discover that this bodyguard is the “Andy Lau” being photographed and mistaken as Andy on the day of the funeral, the real McCoy finally appeared yesterday.
The praying ceremony was completed after 10 minutes, Andy, Carol, Carol’s sister and husband then board a black nanny car which window was tinted thus unable to find out what’s happening inside. The car drove soon after.
It is understand that Andy did attend the funeral last Saturday but did not go to the cemetery or stayed on the bus thus yesterday was his first appearance. Carol had been kept under wrapped by Andy for 24 years, by praying as a family member, he finally gave his “father-in-law” and the Zhu family an explanation. With regards to whether Andy made any promise in front of the grave, according to Malaysia custom of marrying Carol within 100 days to give her an official title, everybody is anticipating for a happy ending.
Meanwhile, Andy whom leave a message to express to his fans: “I’m fine!” on AWC forum, it resulted in a traffic jam to the website as nobody could log into the website as there is always the error message of server busy, it could be fans trying to contact Andy thus resulting in the jam. Meanwhile, staff of Taiwan’s Focus Film expressed: “Andy would have the same towards all friends’ death. With regards to allegations and guesses, or what the media is writing, we will not comment.”

That Andy, made all of us wait on the funeral day and never even come out to greet fans. After funeral pretend to have left his house because no cars was parked at his few million malaysian dollars lovenest. People with “Curly hair hooked nose” – an old chinese saying – cannot be trusted. Also invited orphans(children) – last saturday to the funeral – maybe they hope to have their own children soon by doing charity to orphans. Maybe Andy unable to have kids.

I don’t want a war of words here! Hope you understand!

Please be considerate that no matter you like it or not Andy is still a super star. I believe that he had done all the best he could for Carol’s father regardless he is the father-in-law or not. If Andy would have to appear at Carol’s house for the funeral, all attention will be on Andy’s. It will reflect that the old man who passed away without attention. I think it is the best way that Andy’s had choosen not to appear so that others can concentrate on the funeral and pay their last respect to the old man. Hope you guys can understand your idol rather than to stick at your own mentality. The family menbers should be well educate to have a super star as a family menbers. THere must have things to sacrifice.

Happy to see that. I was quite angry last one week because I think it is not respecting father in law and also Carol by being so “confidential”. I believe most of Andy’s fans can accept Carol and we are most happy if Andy annouce his relationship. I support him. Please do it, annouce and get married……yahoo….

i agreed with what YSL as mentioned. My thought would be Andy had done his best to pay the last respect to Mr Chu and protect Carol and her family members as well. If he is a ‘bad son-in-law’ and ‘bad lover/husband’, he could just let Carol to come back and attend her father’s funeral by her own to avoid any risk of getting his photos to be snapped by the reporters. I believe he was so low profile during Mr Chu’s funeral would be the best way as the funeral is the private occasion for Chu’s family.

Gloria Joy – No matter what, it is a funeral that Andy attended. Not a concert. Everyone at home is grieving. Do you expect him to come out and greet the fans? You should not have gone to Carol’s house, waited and then expect him to greet all of you. And when he did not, you said bad things about him. Please, if you are his fans, you ought to be more considerate.

I am happy for him too. But Artist and superstarr’s life is not that easy. Just let him make his own decision and stop guessing nor rushing/pushing him. He is old enough to make his own decision. At anyhow, it is his own love life as long as Carol is understanding enough. Cheers…..

To Samantha,
Why shouldnt I go there, its my area. When I say “greet” the fans it is not like what you are thinking of like in a “concert” type of greeting. You are not there to witness/hear what happened to the guests as well. I AM ENTITLED TO EXPRESS MY OWN OPINION. I am a considerate fan and didnt say bad things about Andy. You are obviously over-sensitive!
August 27th, 2009 at 5:56 am
Samantha you are abolutely right.
Gloria Joy I think you are really selfish. Did you expect him to come out and greet the fans as if it would be a concert?
Good heavens it was a funeral!
I’m really shocked about your pointless complaints.
August 27th, 2009 at 5:56 am
absolutely LOL
August 27th, 2009 at 8:55 am
Ok! Everybody has the right to express their own opinion, Gloria Joy is just doing so and she does not meant any harm.
Let’s stop here and wish all the best to Andy and Carol! *cheers*:P
