18.For the first time in Hong Kong's history,an entertainer has been written into middle school textbooks.He is considered one of the best actors in Hong Kong.Yes,he is Chow Yun-fat.
The example of his long hard struggle for success has been used in a chapter in a Hong Kong middle school textbook.Using his experience,students can learn to make the most of their time and to grab every opportunity to succeed.
On hearing about this,Chow said happily,"I really hope that my experiences can make young people understand that one should not be afraid of difficulties and setbacks,for they are the only way to success."

Chow broke into the film industry in the late 1970s.He was one of the hardest working actors and starred in a number of popular TV dramas and films including"Shanghai Bund"(《上海灘》) and"A Better Tomorrow".Since 1985,he has won many awards including Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards and Hong Kong Film Awards.
In 1995,he went to Hollywood.Although he was already over 40,he had to learn English.He even put chopsticks in his mouth to practise pronouncing certain sounds.His film,"Crouching Tiger,Hidden Dragon",began to gain him more fame and recognition around the world.In 1998,the mayor of Chicago set aside January 12as"Chow Yun-fat Day".
