In mid-April, some netizens in China shared photos of the iconic Lam Thanh Ha. The images quickly became a hot topic on social media.
In the photo, actress Lam Thanh Ha, known for her short hair and youthful appearance, is seen walking on the street. Despite the poor quality of the image, it cannot obscure the elegant features and slender figure of the actress, who is now 19 years old.
Netizens have praised Lam Thanh Ha’s elegant appearance. Many comments highlighted that her beauty is not just superficial but also exudes a unique charm.
“She radiates an alluring glow,” “Her natural beauty is captivating,” “Lam Thanh Ha is a goddess,” “She’s definitely the beauty icon of our time,” “Her elegance is undeniable,” are just some of the comments made about the images.
According to HK01, the photos originated from her role in the martial arts film Song Ngoại, based on a novel by Quỳnh Dao. The film depicts a love story between a high school girl eager to experience romance with her teacher.
Fans of Lam Thanh Ha may not know that she was born on November 3, 1954, in Gia Nghĩa, Taiwan, China. In 1972, she was discovered while shopping in Taipei and a year later, she landed a leading role in Song Ngoại. This work marked a significant milestone in her career in the film industry. However, at the time, the film faced criticism and was not screened in Taiwan.
In the early years of her career, Lam Thanh Ha frequently appeared in Quỳnh Dao’s romantic films and gained immense popularity in Taiwan. Two peak periods in her film career include her work in romantic films of the 1970s and Hong Kong martial arts films of the 1990s.
In 1983, Lam Thanh Ha moved to Hong Kong. She left a remarkable mark with popular works like Tiểu ngạo giang hồ chi Đông Phương Bất Bại (1991), Tân Long Môn khách sạn (1992), Lộc đỉnh ký (1992), and Bạch phát ma nữ truyền kỳ (1993).
Lam Thanh Ha is regarded as a talented actress in the Chinese entertainment industry, known not only for her acting skills but also for her striking beauty. The media in China and other Asian countries has frequently praised her beauty, referring to her as “the most beautiful person in Hong Kong” and “a timeless beauty.” According to many fans, regardless of her role, Lam Thanh Ha always captivates her audience.
However, Lam Thanh Ha’s fame has often been clouded by her personal life, sometimes being associated with “romantic scandals.”
In her later years, Lam Thanh Ha had a long-term relationship with actor Tân Hán, which lasted 19 years, even while he was still in a happy marriage until their divorce. She was also briefly married to Tân Tướng Lâm in the 1980s, but this union also ended in divorce.
By 1994, she had found happiness with Hình Lý Nguyên, who ranked 500th on the list of the world’s richest, possessing a fortune of over 30 million Hong Kong dollars. The couple has two daughters together.
In early 2019, Lam Thanh Ha announced her separation from her husband, reportedly receiving a divorce settlement of 2 million Hong Kong dollars (nearly 6,000 USD). However, she has since declined to comment.
Currently, at the age of 69, Lam Thanh Ha is no longer active in films. She seems to have withdrawn from showbiz, only occasionally appearing at industry events. According to Yahoo, in recent years, she has transitioned into writing and has pursued studies in classical literature and economics.
Lam Thanh Ha frequently updates her current life on her personal Weibo page. Her most recent post was on April 14, featuring a photo with her younger sister, Dương Tử Quỳnh, at an event.
“I met Dương Tử Quỳnh at the party. We hugged each other warmly, and in our hearts, we clearly felt the paths we had taken. Even though we are over 60, the moments we shared during our youth still resonate deeply with us. Every year, spring comes. For the two of us, this spring feels particularly vibrant. We both strive to learn and improve ourselves,” she wrote.
Earlier this month, Lam Thanh Ha proudly announced that Hong Kong University awarded her a scholarship for her achievements in the field of social sciences.
