Yao Zhengjing announces entertainment comeback at age 57
Yao Zhengjing, often identified as the first love of singer and actor Aaron Kwok, has announced her return to the entertainment industry at age 57 after a 30-year hiatus. In recent interviews, she addressed long-standing rumors regarding her past relationship and her subsequent career choices.
Yao clarified that her breakup with Kwok was not due to infidelity or one party leaving the other, but rather a result of growing apart as Kwok’s career became increasingly busy following his success in Taiwan. She denied rumors that she turned to adult films due to the breakup, stating it was simply a trend at the time. Regarding her current feelings toward Kwok, she stated she holds “no love or hate” and views him as a professional performer.
Discussing her comeback, Yao expressed a desire to pursue singing, live streaming, and short dramas for personal fulfillment rather than purely financial gain. She also shared an experience of facing perceived snobbery from a senior industry figure during a recent dinner, noting the perceived shift toward a more materialistic environment in the modern entertainment industry.
