Andy Lau was in Beijing yesterday to attend the press conference of 2006 Hepatitis B Prevention and Educational Promotion Ambassador activity, as Andy was diagnosed to be a Hepatitis B virus carrier some 20 years ago, thus he was appointed as the ambassador for 2 years. Other than shooting a commerical and music video with Lam Ka Tung, he also compose a song 'Xin Gan Bao Bei' as the theme song hoping to spread the message of Hepatitis B prevention. Andy revealed that when he was writing 'Xin Gan Bao Bei', he initially thought of naming it 'Gan Jiao Ji' (literally translated as liver is anxious) but forgo the idea as it would sound too serious. Andy expressed that he was delighted that Mainland China is promoting Hepatitis B prevention, he will do his best and work hard with everyone. After Andy touched down at Beijing yesterday, the organiser arranged him to Beijing Friendship Hospital to visit 2 Hepatitis B patients, he was told that one of them was diagnosed with liver cancer, although battling against illness, both of them are still optimistic. Andy gave them his latest album as present. Andy revealed that Hepatitis B is not dangerous as 1 among 10 people will be a carrier. When asked if he went to check, he expressed that some 20 years ago, he was screened to be a Hepatitis B carrier in a blood examination report, when the doctor told him in a relax manner: "Don't be afraid, nothing to worry about for a young man like you, just keep your body fit will do." From then onwards, Andy will have a medical checkup every 3 months, with him working in showbiz where night and day were reversed, insufficient sleep will result in Hepatitis B, thus increasing the chances of getting liver cancer. When asked if he would reduce kissing and intimate scences to prevent spreading the virus? He says: "It won't be spread through kissing, however I have few kissing scenes in recent years, because many actresses reject kissing scenes because of their image or get criticised, the movie would also be classified as 2A or 2B." In addition, with regards to a tabloid in Mainland China alleged that he was being gunned down, Andy express that he already knew about this report early this year, the publisher does not have any commercial license thus he would not pursuit the matter, he says: "I don't wish this to be used as a joke again."

Oh my god, he definitely doesn't deserve this. Hope he will be alright and will make it through this.
Hep B carrier isn't too bad really. I was born with it. For those of you that don't have it, make sure you get the Immunization. I think it's 2 shots, but worth it.
some people are weak and dizzy all the time but that is rare. Most of the time it doesn't have any effect so people can live normal lives. Avoid alcohol. the virus damges your liver and can result in liver cancer and can be spread through blood , semen just like aids. Get the prevention shot and you're immune for life.
well it isnt that bad...if he has hepatitis b and he still doing all this... im sure he'll be alrite....but he should slow down the work...and take less projects since he is getting older and the body warns out quicker....health is important too......so after alll Andy Lau is Human -lol Nirvania Please give credits and source for your news.
is this even for reals.. or is Andy just gettin' old... the guy's practically see-thru now... and the hair... ;
it says hes been diagnosed with it for 20 years so its been a while, my cousin got it when he was in college because he was sharing food with another person that had it, its not a deadly disease but still pretty bad
Very difficult to pass Hep B by sharing food. The virus can't survive. He probably got it from some hooker but is afraid to say so.
ahhaha... Andy and his secrets... who knows... I saw that one lil interview he had with that dude in a restaurant... he was like trying to steer away from his relationship questions... but yea... i think it's about time dude retires from the whole HK pop scene...
good question... i researched around -lol various websites say he's born in 1961....making him 45 years old this year.... -shock amazing.....
wowww never knew he had hep.B. took those two shots long time ago..totally hate needles ><. i think andy shoud slow down on all his work. i mean, he aint getting any younger, working like that could make matters worse.
