In a recent interview with Hong Kong Radio Station One's program Old Days Footprints, former Miss Hong Kong runner-up 朱慧敏 (Queenie) shared her heartfelt reflections on love, marriage, and personal growth, following the birth of her second child. At 43, she has embraced a fulfilling life with her husband, cardiologist 陳良貴, and their two children, expressing gratitude for the journey that has shaped her into the person she is today.
朱慧敏, who recently welcomed a son and a daughter, described her life as a dream in the past few years. "When I was in my 20s, I never imagined that I would have two children in my 40s. These experiences were not planned; they were driven by fate," she remarked, reflecting on the unexpected turns her life has taken.
During the interview, she recounted the difficulties of her first relationship, which ended abruptly due to the intrusive nature of paparazzi. "My first boyfriend was a university classmate, and we reconnected in our 20s. At that time, I was already in the industry, and he was a foreigner. I was in love and would fly to see him whenever I had the chance," she said. However, their relationship faced immense pressure after they were photographed at the airport, leading to a public exposure that neither could handle. "I was very scared, worried that my company would be upset and it would affect my work and income," she added.
This strain ultimately resulted in their breakup, as her boyfriend struggled to cope with the media attention, even asking her to wear a hat to hide her face when they were out together. "The relationship gradually fell apart, and we ended up splitting up," she explained.
Despite these challenges, 朱慧敏 emphasized her resilience and dedication to love. She described herself as a "long-term and soft-hearted person" who rarely initiates breakups, usually finding herself on the receiving end instead. "I have a brave heart and have crossed every low point in my life," she stated, showcasing her determination to overcome adversity.
After her first relationship, she took two years to focus on self-improvement, delving into philosophy and Buddhism while participating in volunteer work to calm her mind and replan her life. This period of introspection paved the way for her to meet her husband, 陳良貴, who she described as a source of stability in her life.
When discussing her husband, 朱慧敏's face lit up with happiness. She revealed that 陳良貴 has limited dating experience, and she is his second girlfriend. "He had his first relationship at 30. When I asked him how he feels about me and the entertainment industry, he replied, 'I love you, and liking you is enough,'" she recounted, highlighting the deep connection they share.
朱慧敏 expressed her appreciation for her husband's understanding nature, especially when she shared her past with him. "He told me that everyone has a past, and the past you had has shaped who you are today. I love the person you are now and accept your past," she quoted him, reflecting the acceptance and maturity in their relationship.
Furthermore, she praised her mother-in-law for being open-minded and supportive. "My mother-in-law is very progressive and open. She even complimented my figure when she saw me in a three-point swimsuit for a shoot!" she said with a smile, illustrating the positive family dynamics that surround her.
After four years of marriage, 朱慧敏 maintains a youthful spirit, often referring to herself as having a "girlish heart." She actively supports her husband in his demanding medical career, admiring his high emotional intelligence and good temper. "He has a heavy responsibility, and I really admire and appreciate him. Before he performs any surgeries, I make sure to prepare soup, sweet soup, and fruits to support him," she shared, demonstrating her commitment to their partnership.
As her 44th birthday approaches on April 22, 2025, 朱慧敏 reflects on her journey with a sense of wonder. "The past few years have felt like a dream. I never expected to be a mother of two at this age, but I embrace it all as part of my destiny," she concluded, embodying a spirit of gratitude and resilience that resonates with many.
