Andy Lau’s family and Children tremendously impacted his life and profession. Lau’s upbringing in Tai Po, British Hong Kong, was affected by his poor family background. Lau Lai’s father worked hard to provide for the family, establishing in Lau a strong work ethic and a feeling of responsibility from an early age. Lau’s father noticed and supported his son’s artistic interests. He encouraged Lau to seek a career in acting and music, which prompted him to enroll in TVB acting school.
This decisive decision signaled the start of Lau’s great career in the entertainment business. Despite his celebrity and prosperity, Lau has always had a strong love for his family, especially his father. He often credits his grounded attitude and ability to bear industry challenges to the ideals and direction instilled in him by his father.
