#SHOWBIZ: HK actor Chapman To celebrates 20th wedding anniversary with actress Kristal Tin
HONG KONG: Taiwanese actor based in Hong Kong Chapman To and former TVB star Kristal Tin recently celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary with a small gathering of close friends.
Among the guests was veteran actor Anthony Wong, who travelled specifically to Taiwan to join the couple for their milestone celebration.
On 7 June, To, 53, shared a throwback photo on social media from his 2005 wedding to Tin, 47.
The picture showed them surrounded by famous friends like Andy Lau, Wong Jing, and Shawn Yue.
The couple originally tied the knot in June 2005 after dating for six years.
"Today, 20 years later, some people remain while others have moved on. I wish everyone happiness. To me, happiness means letting go of the past, not worrying about the future, and simply embracing the present moment," To captioned his Facebook post.
The Hong Kong-born artiste also uploaded a photo with Anthony Wong to his Instagram Story, noting that the 63-year-old is the only groomsman he's still in touch with after two decades.
He rounded off the celebration by posting a short video of Tin speaking about how he had transformed her life.
Meanwhile, Tin took to Instagram to reflect on how her understanding of the word "tolerance" has changed over the years.
The Brother's Keeper (2012) star admitted she once viewed the term negatively, saying: "Why do I have to tolerate things after marriage? Didn't we love each other so much that we couldn't help but be together in the first place?"
However, Tin shared that her perspective has now shifted.
She no longer sees tolerance as putting up with flaws, but rather as peacefully accepting them.
"Happy 20th anniversary. Please continue to give me your guidance in the future," she wrote, alongside a photo of herself with To and their pet bulldog.

Zhang Yaodong expresses gratitude for support over being a stallholder in SG
Zhang Yaodong formally introduced his stall in his first-ever TikTok, after he was spotted manning the stall in early June. Photos: Zhang Yaodong/TikTok, Xiaohongshu More than a week after Zhang Yaodong was spotted manning a steamed food stall in the Tampines industrial area, the Singapore-based Malaysian actor took to TikTok on June 11 to express his gratitude to his friends and supporters. The 47-year-old filmed it within the vicinity of his stall, starting the video by briefly panning over the signboard to show its offerings. Tagging the location as a coffeeshop at Blk 9012 Tampines Street 93, the former Mediacorp artiste formally introduced his stall in his first-ever TikTok. He wrote in the caption: 'A new beginning. Thank you for being part of it. That day at the stall was a wake-up call. Your kindness gave me strength to reflect and figure out my next steps. The road ahead is mine to walk — and it's a path I've chosen for myself. I'll be sharing this journey with you.' In early June, a social media user posted the first sighting of Zhang standing in front of the cash register and appearing to be taking orders from customers. Amid the hustle and bustle, the user noted that he was polite and humble, and he was working that day because his employee had resigned. On March 18, a Facebook post by the Tampines Small and Medium Enterprises Association (TSMEA) indicated that Zhang's stall was newly opened during that period and serves traditonal steamed dishes like egg, meat, fish and prawns. Zhang said in his video: 'I know there were many friends, even loyal customers, who took pictures of me helping out here last week. I am very grateful for all the encouragement I've received on social media. 'I would like to take the opportunity to thank the people by my side who have been silently supporting me, as well as the friends who have come over after seeing the reports.' He also credited his long-time friend Catherine Chew for encouraging him to create a TikTok account. 'I'm touched by her sincerity, as well as her eagerness for the public to see another side of me. She has also introduced me to several bosses, who want to collaborate with me on TikTok in the future.' The bachelor's image took a hit in July 2024 when rumours surfaced about him fathering children out of wedlock with women of different nationalities. In November 2024, Zhang took to Instagram to commemorate his holiday to South Korea with his two daughters, confirming his fatherhood for the first time. In February, Mediacorp's talent management agency The Celebrity Agency stated it was no longer representing him and he has not participated in the filming of any new shows. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network

Japan's 400,000-follower ‘Insta-gran' dies aged 97
Kimiko Nishimoto, who died this week at the age of 97, told AFP in a 2018 interview that 'you can take photos no matter how old you get'. TOKYO: A Japanese great-grandmother with 400,000 Instagram followers who shot to fame for her goofy self-portraits after taking up photography aged 72 has died, her son said on Thursday. Kimiko Nishimoto, who died this week at the age of 97, told AFP in a 2018 interview that 'you can take photos no matter how old you get'. 'Wherever it is, in your house, outside, or in your bed, you can do it. That is the nice thing about a camera,' she said. Dubbed the 'selfie queen' by Japanese media, Nishimoto's posts showed her in various candid poses -- from riding a broom like Harry Potter to imitating an off-duty sumo wrestler on their fifth beer of the night. 'Our mother always created her work with a smile,' a post from her son Kazutami Nishimoto said on her Instagram account. 'We are deeply grateful to everyone who visited her photography exhibitions held across the country, to those who shared warm words of encouragement through Instagram... and to all who supported her warmly throughout her journey.' Nishimoto's son teaches photography classes, which his mother started taking in retirement. 'Though she began photography at the age of 72, she was blessed with countless encounters, which enriched this third chapter of her life tremendously,' he said. Nishimoto appeared on national television as her online following grew and was interviewed by major news outlets. But her more out-there visual scenarios were also the cause of some confusion over the years. One snap -- showing her wrapped in a garbage bag, as if she had been discarded -- drew criticism from people who didn't know she was involved in its set-up. 'It's not like ideas just suddenly pop into my head but wherever I go I think about what it would be fun to dress up as in that place,' she said in 2018.
