Taiwanese businessman Qiu Shi-kai announced that he
will be marrying Taiwanese top-model Lin Chi-ling after June this
year. At the same time, he said that Lin has truly fallen for him
and they have been in an innocent childhood relationship for over
ten years.
Qiu revealed in a talk show in China, "The Qiu and Lin families
have been friends for generations. Both our parents have known one
another for decades and I knew Chi-ling since we were in our teens.
The Qiu and Lin elders are supportive of our relationship,
especially Lin's mother. On many occasions, she praised me for
being a refined, honest and studious child."
35-year-old Qiu said he has always been the man behind Lin; at
any moment, he will do everything to protect her public image. He
added that Lin will always discuss with him the assignments and
roles she received. For each other's careers, they chose to
maintain low profile in their relationship, and date discreetly to
hide from the eyes of the media.
As for the fan's opposition to their relationship, Qiu said, "I
believe there are some misunderstandings there. The fans do not
understand our relationship. Lin and I are deeply in love with each
other; she is not with me for my money. In fact after "Red Cliff
2", she is collecting as much as RMB$3.8million (about S$760,000)
for her endorsement deals. What matters most to us is that we are
in a stable relationship."
Besides their marriage plan for the second half of the year, Qiu
also revealed that they are planning to have a baby in 2010. The
low-profile businessman said he will choose to invest his money in
the movie industry to show support for Lin's career, instead of
buying an exceptionally expensive wedding ring or a mansion. Lin
may also be signing on to his company on a high note soon.
The Qiu family business is famous for their sanitary equipment,
especially flush toilets, with assets amounting over
NT$3,500million (about S$170million).
