Elusive former TVB actress Kate Tsui spotted at art museum in Paris
Former Hong Kong actress Kate Tsui left the entertainment industry in late 2019, describing it as a very 'passive environment'. Photos: Kate Tsui/Instagram, China Press Former Hong Kong actress Kate Tsui has been maintaining a low profile since stepping away from the entertainment industry in late 2019. At the time, the 45-year-old sold her car and property before pursuing her studies in Europe. With singer-actor Raymond Lam's recent seven-night concert run at the Hong Kong Coliseum, many netizens hoped for a reunion, fondly recalling Tsui's guest appearance alongside him 15 years ago. However, she remained out of the spotlight. Lam, 45, even referred to her as a 'missing person, adding: 'I don't know her whereabouts. We haven't kept in touch.' Although actress Jessica Hsuan is still in contact with Tsui, she has respected her friend's wish for privacy and declined to reveal any details about her current life. Recently, however, a netizen revealed that they had spotted the elusive former TVB star at an art museum in Paris, casually attired in a white dress and sneakers. Many noted that she appears to be enjoying the simplicity of a normal life, while others expressed their well wishes despite still missing seeing her on screen. 'She must really love the life of an ordinary person if she's willing to give up her star status,' said one netizen. 'Seeing her so happy, I feel happy too,' another added. For the record, Tsui made the decision to retire from the entertainment industry at the height of her career, describing it as a very 'passive environment'. She signed a contract with TVB after being crowned Miss Hong Kong in 2004 and went on to star in dramas like The Brink of Law (2007), Steps (2007), Moonlight Resonance (2008) and more. On the movie front, Tsui is known for her performances in Eye In The Sky (2007), 14 Blades (2010), Turning Point 2 (2011) and more.
