Kilalang Aktor, Nanatiling Simple Ang Pamumuhay Sa Kabila Ng Pagiging Tanyag At Bilyonaryo!

Si Chow Yun-Fat ay isang aktor na nakilala dahil sa kaniyang mga famous role na ginampanan sa mga pelikula katulad ng ‘A Better Tomorrow’, ‘The K1ller’, ‘Hard Boiled’, ‘Crouching Tiger’, at marami pang iba.

Habang ang kaniyang mga kasamahan ay nabubuhay ng magarbong buhay na puno ng karangyaan, ang lalaking ito ay nagawang surpresahin ang buong mundo.

Si Chow ay ipinanganak sa isang maliit na isla sa Lamma, Hong Kong. Isang napakahirap na pamilya ng magsasaka ang pinagmulan ni Chow. Sila ay nagkaroon ng isang simple at pangkaraniwang pagkabata. Mula sa murang edad ay kinailangan na ni Chow na bumangon sa pagsikat ng araw at papakainin ang mga hayop. Matapos nito, pupunta naman siya sa palengke upang tulungan ang kaniyang ina na makapagbenta ng mga pie. Pagkatapos ay saka siya magmamadaling pumasok sa paaralan. Sa halip na makipaglaro sa mga kaibigan o kaklase pagkatapos ng klase, kailangan ni Chow na magmadaling umuwi para magtrabaho.

Noong 1968, lumipat ang pamilyang Chow sa syudad ng Hong Kong para makahanap ng mas maayos na pamumuhay. Dahil dito, kailangan ng pamilya niya ng maraming pera upang manirahan sa lungsod. Nairaraos naman ng pamilyang Chow ang kanilang pang-araw-araw ngunit kadalasan ay hindi pa din sapat ang pera nila. Dahil kapos sa pera, kinakailangan ni Chow na mag-drop out sa eskwela.

Sa loob ng isang taon, nagawa niyang subukan ang iba’t ibang uri ng trabaho katulad ng pagiging delivery boy, salesman, karpintero, at kargador. Gayunpaman, sinabi niya sa kaniyang sarili na hindi siya susuko kaagad dahil para sa kaniya ay may mas maganda pang darating.

Ayon kay Chow, may isang araw na naghahanap siya ng trabaho sa isang job advertisement at nahanap niya ang TVB Channel’s casting call. Noong una ay nag-aalangan pa siya dahil baka isipin ng iba na nababaliw na siya dahil sino nga ba naman ang mag-aakala na ang isang katulad niya na kakaunti lang ang alam sa telebisyon ay magiging isang sikat na aktor. Ayon pa sa kaniya, may mga oras na nakakatanggap siya ng mga pangdo-down sa ibang tao at sinabi na maghanap siya ng totoong trabaho dahil wala naman siyang karanasan sa pag-arte.

Sa kabila nito, mas pinili ni Chow na magpatuloy sa audition. Sa napakagandang pagkakataon, siya ay napili ng casting director sa higit na isangdaang tao na nag-audition. Syempre, hindi naging maayos ang lahat para sa kaniya noong una ngunit sa kaniyang sipag at tiyaga, nagawa niyang makamit ang mga bagay na mayroon siya ngayon.

Sinabi din ni Chow na isa sa mga dahilan ng kaniyang katanyagan ay dahil kay John Woo na isang direktor at aktor din na maraming inambag sa Asian cinematography.

Sa husay sa pag-arte, nakatanggap ng maraming award si Chow tulad ng pagiging 3rd time best actor sa Hongkong Films Award. Di nagtagal ay nakamit din ni Chow ang pagiging isang bilyonaryo. Gayunpaman, nanatili si Chow sa pagkakaroon ng simpleng pamumuhay at pagiging mapagkumbaba.

Ngayon si Chow ay 65-years-old na at walang alinlangan na siya ay naging tanyag na din sa Hollywood. Ngunit hindi niya pinag nilayan na tumira dito. Ang aktor ay nakatira pa din sa isang Hong Kong apartment kasama ang kaniyang asawa. Bumibisita lamang siya sa California para mag-shoot ng mga pelikula o para sa mga negosyo.

Sa kabila ng katanyagan at pagiging kilala sa buong mundo, bumibili pa din siya ng pagkain mula sa mga nagtitinda sa kalye at gumagamit ng pampublikong transportasyon tulad ng Subway. Sa katunayan nga niyan ay madalas siyang mapansin ng mga naglalakad sa kalye ng walang bodyguard kaya may mga ordinaryong tao na kumukuha ng mga larawan kasama siya.

Ayon pa kay Chow, hindi din niya maalala kung kailan siya huling bumili ng damit para sa kaniyang sarili. Para sa kaniya, ang pinakamahirap na parte ng buhay ay manatili sa isang positive mindset na kung saan ay hindi mo kailangan kumita ng pera.

Hindi maipagkakaila na si Chow ay isa sa mga kilala at tinitingalang representative Asian actor sa Hollywood. Siya ay binansagan bilang Emperor of Asian Box Office sa Hong Kong. Sinusuportahan ng asawa ni Chow ang kaniyang lifestyle nang hindi hinihingi ang mamahaling bagay sa loob ng mahigit 20 taon tulad ng paggamit ni Chow ng pampublikong transportasyon.

Tulad ng marami sa atin, ginagawa din nila ang pamimili sa supermarket. Lingid sa kaalaman ng lahat, si Chow ay isang ordinaryong tao na tumutulong sa isang matanda na tumatawid sa kalye. Kahit na isang araw ay kumakain siya sa parehong mesa ang mga tanyag na kilalang tao sa Hollywood, kinabukasan ay kukuha siya ng regular flight pabalik sa China. Sa halip na sumakay sa pribadong jet, ang pakikipagkamay niya kay Brad Pitt, at pakikipag-kaibigan kay Jackie Chan, kasabay ng pagsakay niya sa Subway kasama ang mga ordinaryong tao na pagpunta o galing sa trabaho ay isa lamang patunay na si Chow ay isang humble na tao.

Parehong gusto ni Chow at ng kaniyang asawa ang mga outdoor activities. Sa katunayan ay madalas silang mamasyal sa mga parke at dumalaw sa iba’t ibang mga pampublikong lugar.

May nagsasabi na mas pinipili umano ni Chow na manatiling hindi mapagkilala kapag siya ay tumutulong. Ayon sa isang balita, may mga tao na nagsasabi na minsan ng naglipat ng pera sa kanilang mga account. Ngunit nanatili itong anonymous. Katulad din ng nangyari sa isang pamilya na ang bahay ay nasunog at ibinahagi ang kanilang karanasan sa national TV. Ilang sandali lamang ay nagkaroon ng halagang $100,000 ang kanilang bank account. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa din nila alam kung sino ang nagpadala nito ngunit marami ang nagsasabi na si Chow ang gumawa nito.

Walang pakialam si Chow sa pera niya dahil nais lamang niya na mamuhay tulad ng isang ordinaryong tao. Si Chow ay tinatrato ang bawat isa na may pantay na respeto, maging ito man ay isang katulong sa tindahan o isang waitress sa isang cafe, hindi niya itinataas ang kaniyang sarili sa iba.

Ayon kay Chow, hindi pera ang pangunahing bagay para mapasaya ang mga tao. Dahil wala silang anak ng kaniyang asawa, nagpasya ang Hollywood star na ibigay ang lahat ng kaniyang pera sa charity pagkatapos ng kaniyang k4matayan. Mapupunta ang pera sa mga ampunan at ospital pati na din sa mga mahihirap.
