Joey Wong Keeps Her Star‑Shine Alive in Vancouver’s Dharma Meetup
Despite being “retired” for almost twenty years, this Hong Kong cinema icon still pulls an undeniable stage presence whenever she steps into the spotlight.
Spotlight at a Local Dharma Event
- 55‑year‑old Joey Wong was captured on stage during a Buddhist conference in Vancouver, the city where she now calls home.
- On Xiaohongshu, the clip was posted with the caption “caught a wild Joey Wong”, sparking curiosity and amusement.
- She rocked a navy blue tee, a beige face mask, and long gray pants—very “every‑day” but with a touch of style.
- With her silky hair flowing freely, she seemed down‑to‑earth while gracefully swaying to the music.
- Wong clutched a lotus lantern, humming along as if the temples had never bailed on her.
Attendees reported that the former star was approachable, chatting with others, and even helping tidy up after the ceremony—a true “good karma” moment.
The Post‑Retirement Lifestyle
Back in 2004, Joey poured out of the film world and settled in Canada, dedicating herself to Buddhist practice at the Lingyan Mountain Temple. Since then:
- She visits the temple regularly, meditating with the community.
- She hooks her hands into organizing and attending varied Buddhist gatherings.
Media Scrutiny & Online Trolls
Not all internet chatter has been sugar‑coated. In April, a clip of her eating hotpot in Canada fueled online heckling, with critics calling her “old,” “ugly,” and even “just a regular person.”
Enter Denny Tsao, the Taiwanese showbiz personality, who stepped in to defend our beloved “goddess.” “She’s retired and living her life,” Denny wrote on Facebook, urging fans to show respect and reminding everyone that Joey’s life is a personal one—not a fodder for ridicule.
Account Confusion & Legal Notes
Earlier, a fake Instagram account in her name posted misleading Olympic medal counts for China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Joey clarified that the handle was counterfeit and mentioned the possibility of taking legal action against the culprit. She addressed this juncture quietly, assured her fans, and kept following her Buddhist journey.
Quick Takeaways
- Joey Wong’s stage charisma never really faded—she’s still the queen of power‑moves, even at a meditation circle.
- She’s firmly rooted in a peaceful life devoted to Buddhism and community.
- Online comments can be harsh, but her defenders (and fans) are ready to stick up for her.
- Always double‑check social media accounts—fake handles can create a lot of confusion.
So next time you see a veteran icon hanging out in Vancouver, look for a purple lantern, a friendly smile, and a rhythmic hum—enjoy the vibe, and remember that the “goddess” is still living her best, bliss‑filled life, one lotus step at a time.
