    Gigi Lai Chi's popularity has increased enormously due to "War and Beauty." Her salary has increased from $5,000 (HKD) to $45,000 per TV episode recently.
    Gigi is currently 34 years old, but she has been in the entertainment industry for 20 years already.

    In this interview, Gigi spoke about her childhood, the hardships that her family endured as well as the last 20 years of her life as an actress.

    Gigi's grandfather, Lai Man Wai, was considered one of the founding fathers of Hong Kong cinema. Her grandmother, Lam Chaw Chaw, was one of the of the first generation of movie stars. And Gigi's aunt is actress Lai Suen.

    With this kind of background, you would expect Gigi to have grown up in luxury. But Gigi said that on the surface, her background appeared to be glamourous. In reality, she grew up under very poor circumstances and her life has been like a movie.
