In the Chinese entertainment industry, there is a saying that always makes people wonder: There is a type of relationship called ‘Trieu Vy and Huynh Hieu Minh’.
Everyone knows that Huang Xiaoming has a crush on Zhao Wei. Even when his “goddess” got married and became a mother, Huang Xiaoming still had special feelings for his college friend.
From the first time they met when they entered university in 1996, 28 years later, both Huynh Hieu Minh and Trieu Vy have experienced ups and downs in their marriage and career. Are Huynh Hieu Minh’s feelings for Trieu Vy still the same?
“Trieu Vy is my first love”
Zhao Wei was born in 1976 in Anhui Province, China. Like many other parents, the “little swallow’s” parents’ greatest wish was for their daughter to become a kindergarten teacher and have a stable life. But Zhao Wei did not want to live according to pre-arranged plans.
In 1996, Zhao Wei entered the Acting Department of the Beijing Film Academy. There, she became classmates with Huang Xiaoming and Chen Kun, the famous trio nicknamed “The Three Swordsmen of the North”. At that time, Huang Xiaoming was one of the most handsome students, but he was the first to fall in love with Zhao Wei.
Huang Xiaoming fell in love with Zhao Wei at first sight. Zhao Wei has elegant willow-leaf eyebrows, big, expressive eyes, long black hair, and eyes that always exude vitality. Talking about his feelings when he first met Zhao Wei, Huang Xiaoming once confided: “Trieu Vy was the first girl in my class I saw when I entered film school. Was this fate? She was so beautiful, I thought she was a real-life fairy.”
Although he is introverted and shy when meeting strangers, Huang Xiaoming cannot hide his secret feelings. His loving and affectionate gaze towards his classmate Zhao Wei was quickly discovered by his friends. In the end, the whole Beijing School knew that Huang Xiaoming liked Zhao Wei.
Later, when he became famous, talking about his love for Trieu Vy since college, the actor The Condor Hero confess: “She is my first love. I just have a crush on her. In my eyes, she is like a fairy.”
Zhao Wei’s beauty in college made Huang Xiaoming infatuated.
It was exactly two years later that Huang Xiaoming finally mustered up the courage to confess his love to Zhao Wei. On Zhao Wei’s birthday, she invited her classmates to dinner at a small restaurant near the school. On normal days, Huang Xiaoming would get drunk after one drink, but that day he was unusually sober because he was looking for an opportunity to confess his love.
Finally, on the way to take Trieu Vy to the toilet, Huynh Hieu Minh dared to confess: “Trieu Vy, I like you, can you be my girlfriend?”. Trieu Vy was very surprised when she heard that, but pretended to be indifferent on the surface: “What nonsense are you talking about? I have a boyfriend.”
Despite being rejected by Trieu Vy, Huynh Hieu Minh still treated her well like before. Every time Trieu Vy was punished for writing an essay for being late, leaving early, skipping school,… Huynh Hieu Minh would copy the essay for the classmate he secretly loved. “As soon as she asked for help, I couldn’t control myself and immediately helped,” The actor born in 1977 shared.
In her final year of school, Zhao Wei had the opportunity to act in a movie. Princess Pearl and took a break from school for nearly a year and a half. During this time, Huang Xiaoming prepared two notebooks, one for himself and one for Zhao Wei. After class, while everyone else was chatting, he was still absorbed in taking notes. When Zhao Wei returned from filming, Huang Xiaoming gave her notebooks that were clearly arranged and detailed for each subject. Zhao Wei was so moved that she kept saying: “Oh, Comrade Tieu Hoang, why are you so good to me?”.
Huang Xiaoming confessed his love three times but was rejected by Zhao Wei all the time.
After the first failed confession, Huynh Hieu Minh was not discouraged and continued to express his feelings to the beautiful classmate twice more but was rejected both times.
Many years later, Zhao Wei told about Huang Xiaoming’s unrequited feelings for her: “Because I myself was hurt, I didn’t want to hurt anyone else. At that time, I didn’t have any feelings or thoughts about Huang Xiaoming, and I didn’t want to let others see any hope.” According to Trieu Vy, because she and Huynh Hieu Minh are never ambiguous in their love life, this friendship is very beautiful.
“When you need me, I will always be here”
Although he was rejected three times by Zhao Wei, Huang Xiaoming did not choose to leave her and still maintained a special friendship. In 2001, when the beauty of Hoan Chau Cach Cach was involved in a scandal of wearing a dress with a stylized image of the Japanese flag, netizens were outraged. A large campaign was launched to “ban” Zhao Wei, who was only in her early 20s at the time.
During that time, Trieu Vy locked herself in her room every day and did not want to talk to anyone. “I don’t know how to live. Every day is a nightmare,” 7X actress said.
Even though he knew that Zhao Wei was being criticized by the whole country, Huang Xiaoming still spent time by her side to comfort and encourage her. There were even nights when the two talked late, and Huang Xiaoming would sleep overnight on the sofa at Zhao Wei’s house: “I trust him 100%. When he is at my house, I sleep very peacefully.”
When Zhao Wei encountered her first scandal, Huang Xiaoming was the one who was there to comfort her.
Zhao Wei’s love life has gone through many ups and downs over the years, but Huang Xiaoming has always been by her side, witnessing her falling in love, breaking up, and falling in love again. Zhao Wei has been hurt a lot in love, but has yet to find the person she wants to entrust her life to. She once made a promise to Huang Xiaoming that if they were both still single by the age of 30, they would be together. At that time, Huang Xiaoming affirmed: “When you need me, I will always be here.”
Finally, Zhao Wei found a man she could trust for the rest of her life. In 2008, Zhao Wei and Huang You Long got married.
When his “first love” got married, Huynh Hieu Minh still accompanied her as a special friend. Actor Great Han Emperor has never been absent at any stage of Trieu Vy’s career and life. Every year, on Trieu Vy’s birthday, Huynh Hieu Minh always regularly sends congratulations.
In 2013, when Zhao Wei was preparing to make her debut film Send youth (So young) as a director but at risk of not having enough funding, Huynh Hieu Minh proactively “poured” capital, making the beauty surnamed Trieu feel very warm.
Despite his injured leg and having to use crutches, Huynh Hieu Minh still bought cake to go to the studio to celebrate his best friend’s birthday.
When Zhao Wei was a guest on the show Have an appointment with Lu Du To promote the movie, Huang Xiaoming ignored his injured leg and used crutches to go to the studio just to give her a birthday cake. During the conversation, Zhao Wei unconsciously touched Huang Xiaoming’s thigh. When the MC reminded him that his friend was still injured, Huang Xiaoming just smiled and said indulgently: “I’m used to it.”
When the show ended and he was about to leave the stage, Huang Xiaoming ignored his leg injury, threw away his crutches, hugged Zhao Wei around the waist and said sadly: “It turns out she’s still very skinny.”
