Ada Choi Says She Is Living Her Best Life in China

Hongkong actress Ada Choi, 48, has forged a new path for herself since moving to Shanghai a year ago with her husband Chinese action star Max Zhang and their three kids, Zoe, 11, Chloe, eight, and two-year-old Le Er.

While the much-loved former TVB star used to act her way through different kinds of roles in the past, she hardly appears in drama serials these days.

Instead, she's found a new way of enjoying praise and adulation — this time, by simply being herself.

The actress has been very busy taking part in variety shows in China, where she has shined for her candour and bubbly personality.

“I'm pretty grateful that a lot of people like the real me, which is why they like having me on variety shows. This is a great platform where I can just be who I am,” she said.

Ada on Girls Go Home

The latest variety show she's been on is Song Yi Bai Wei Nu Hai Hui Jia (or 'Girls Go Home'), where she opened up about how she didn't know anything about life in China when she first got there.

In the end Chinese actress Sun Li came through for her, providing Ada with tips on how to get chicken and vegetables delivered to her home, or where to find a piano teacher for her kids.

Now Ada's gotten used to a life where everything can be ordered online and sent to her doorstep, and she can get around easily with car-booking apps.

Everything is convenient and affordable. 'It doesn't get better than this!' she said.

A mother's job is never done

Ada sure deserves to have a life that's as easy as can be — being a mum of three is no walk in the park.

She also shared on the show that her three-year-old son wakes her up at 4am, and after soothing him she has to get up around 5am to make breakfast and do her older daughters' hair. "I pretty much haven't gotten a full nights' sleep in 10 years," she's said.
