Joey Wong’s Quiet Return to the Spotlight
Former screen goddess Joey Wong might have stayed out of the limelight for nearly twenty years, yet every step she takes still sparks chatter—both praise and critique—online.
From Taiwanese Star to Hong Kong Icon
At 55, the Taiwanese actress first shined in Hong Kong after her role in Tsui Hark’s 1987 hit A Chinese Ghost Story. The film catapulted her to superstardom, as audiences fell in love with her gentle demeanor and otherworldly looks.
A New Life Beyond Showbiz
After hanging up her acting boots in 2004, Joey settled into Vancouver, Canada. It’s widely believed she still calls that city home.
Netizens Keep the Spotlight On Her
- Every public appearance is a hot topic.
- Many once critiqued her “puffy” face, suggesting she might have had plastic surgery—an accusation she publicly denied.
- Recently, a photo of her casually dressed and bare-faced, savoring hotpot in Canada, reignited online debate, as reported by Chinese media on April 19.
Although she’s stepped back from the industry crowd, Joey’s legacy and style continue to stir conversations, proving that a star’s shine never truly dims.
Internet Squabble Over Joey Sparks a Stir
When a few sharp‑tongued netizens began throwing shade at Joey, it didn’t take long for the drama to grow into a full‑blown war of words. They slammed her for “looking old,” “ugly,” and claim she’s “just like a normal person.”
The Backlash
- “Old” – Because time waits for no one, apparently.
- “Ugly” – Apparently, beauty standards are still the enemy.
- “Just like a normal person” – A quirky call for elation or a dig? A real page‑turner.
Denny Tsao Steps in
The backlash hit the nerves of Denny Tsao, 63, a former “80s pop idol” who’s seen the spotlight but not the hate. Denny—loud and proud—took to Facebook to set the record straight:
“She has already retired for so many years and has nothing to do with the showbiz industry. She’s just living her life. Why do people have to call her old, fat and ugly? What do you all want?”
Why Denny Brushed up the Defenders
Even though Joey is no longer in the limelight, Denny couldn’t stand the negative chatter. He reminded everyone that life isn’t a judge’s trial and that the weaponized words from a few keyboard warriors can do a lot of damage.
The Moral?
In a world where everyone can write in a corner, there’s always a chance to step up and say, “Who’s the real villain?” And so, Denny’s message: support, love, and positivity are the real showbiz.

What the Tributes Really Mean
People are telling us to keep Joey’s memory close by, saying “once a goddess, always a goddess.” That’s a reminder that once someone shines so brightly, they never fade away.
Denny’s Gentle Words
Denny continued:
- “Just let her live her life in peace. Can she not be disturbed?”
- “At her age, she doesn’t need anyone treating her like this.”
- “She left us a beautiful memory—doesn’t that make everything else feel small?”
- “We should wish her the very best and move on.”
Why These Sentiments Matter
When we remember the good times, we honor what really mattered: the joy, the laughter, and the influence she carried. Let her rest, celebrate her life, and cherish every single moment you shared with her.
