Even fellow actor Anthony Wong made the journey all the way to Taiwan just to celebrate with the happy couple. Famous faces
On June 7, To, 53, gave everyone a peek into the past, sharing an old photo from his wedding to Tin, 47. The picture showed him surrounded by some pretty famous faces, including Andy Lau, Wong Jing, and Shawn Yue, who were all reportedly his groomsmen.
They dated for a good six years before To and Tin said 'I do' in June of 2005.
'It's been two decades, and while some of us are still here, others have gone their separate ways. I truly wish everyone finds their happiness. For me, that means truly living in the now – letting go of what's happened and not stressing about what's next,' said To in a Facebook post. Still in touch with Anthony Wong
To shared a photo on his Instagram story with Anthony Wong, mentioning that out of all his groomsmen, the 63-year-old is the only one he's still in touch with after all this time.
The actor concluded the festivities by sharing a brief video of Tin speaking about how he had changed her life.
Meanwhile, over on Instagram, Tin opened up about how her own understanding of what 'tolerance' means has really evolved through the years.
The actress from Brother's Keeper (2012) opened up, admitting she once had a pretty strong negative reaction to the whole idea of 'tolerating' things in a marriage. She actually thought, 'If we were so head-over-heels in love to start with, why on earth would we suddenly need to just 'put up with' things once we're married?' Embracing one's imperfections
Tin revealed that her perspective has now changed, and she now sees tolerance as gently embracing one's imperfections rather than putting up with them. See also Jonathan Scott flirts with Zooey Dechanel on Instagram
'Can you believe it's been 20 years? Happy anniversary! I'm so grateful for your guidance and hope you'll continue to show me the way,' posted Tin together with a photo of To and their dog.
Chapman To, whose real name is Edward Ng Cheuk-cheung and who was born on June 8, 1972, is an actor with roots in both Hong Kong and Taiwan. You might recognise him from his memorable roles in movies like Infernal Affairs and Initial D. Interestingly, he officially became a Taiwanese citizen in 2022.
Beyond acting, To is also the founder of a multimedia platform called Chapman To's Late Show . He began his career in TV soap operas before transitioning to the big screen in 2000. He was also a radio personality for Commercial Radio 2 (CR2), hosting a morning show, but he lost that job in 2006.

China's Pop Mart, maker of the Labubu doll, says profit soars nearly 400% in first half

SHANGHAI: China's Pop Mart, which has taken the world by storm with its ugly-cute Labubu doll, reported a nearly 400 per cent first-half net profit on Tuesday (Aug 19) on high demand for the toys and a shift towards higher-margin overseas markets. Net profit of 396.5 per cent and a 204.4 per cent jump in revenues exceeded numbers flagged in an earnings preview last month, forecasting revenue growth of 200 per cent in the first half of 2025 and a recurring net profit increase of at least 350 per cent on the year. Shares in Pop Mart have risen more than 200 per cent year-to-date, making the Chinese toy company more valuable than traditional industry giants like Barbie-maker Mattel and Hello Kitty parent company Sanrio. Pop Mart often sells its collectable figurines in so-called "blind boxes" with buyers not knowing the exact design they will receive until they open the packaging. One of the major drivers of the toothy-grinned Labubu's success has been its popularity with celebrity fans, who include Lisa of K-pop group Blackpink, singer Rihanna and ex-football star David Beckham. Pop Mart is pledging to increase the supply of the dolls, which have sold out in stores around the world. Its CEO, Wang Ning, in an interview with Chinese state media last month, said sales of Labubu will surpass 10 million units per day from September this year. Pop Mart classifies Labubu under its The Monsters intellectual property (IP) characters. It said on Tuesday that The Monsters raked in 4.81 billion yuan (US$669.88 million) in the first half, accounting for 34.7 per cent of total revenue. Four other IPs earned over 1 billion yuan during the period, including Molly and Crybaby, it added. The company now has 571 stores - 40 of which it opened in the first half of this year - as well as 2,597 automated robot shops across 18 countries and regions, it added.
