我先想讲一下我自己的故事。1961年，我在一个农村出生，那里叫大埔，香港（的）一个非常非常久的一个地方。我真的小时候，我发觉我是很有钱的，我家里有孔雀，我家里有超过两百只的猪，有我数不尽的鸽子，然后我们还有很多地。
后来有一天，我爸爸在我六岁的那年，他带我从农村到了城市，他希望我们可以接触一下外面的世界。结果我爷爷他不开心，他就觉得我爸爸不是一个很乖的小孩，结果家里分家产的时候，我爸爸没有。从那个时候开始，我就住在一个地方，在城市里面有一个叫钻石山的地方。钻石山那个地方，是有很多很多很贫穷的人住在那里，那个地方都是木房子。为什么它叫钻石山，是因为所有人住在那里，都希望自己住的地方，比较高档一点，所以就改了钻石山这个名字。我爸爸是消防员。
但是你知道吗？因为木房子，我们每一天都面临火灾的（可能），我们每一天都要记得我们的身份证放哪里，如果有火灾的时候，我们要尽快进去拿了身份证就逃。结果真的有一天，我那年大概十一岁，我家里真的因为火灾，我们要离开了。我们离开了我们住的地方，然后等了很久，等了大概有一年的时间，dad 就跟我们住在一个临时搭的房子，是政府给我们的。然后等了大概一年，我们可以换来有一个石头的房子，我们住在那里。我们每一天每一天，为自己的生活，做了很多很多不一样的事情。
一直到1980年，一年之后，我表现得非常好，结果I signed up for Hong Kong’s TVB.
今天，你们觉得刘德华成功吗？
刘德华被所有媒体神化为勤奋、努力和不可坏事的人，但其实I am a ordinary person, I will also be nervous. Today, I want to share with you the real me.
1981 year, when I first entered the entertainment industry as a trainee, I was already in a relationship with someone for three years. As a man, I believe it's my responsibility to take care of her. So I worked very hard at my training program, doing many things beyond just morning till night practice. Suddenly one day, I received a call from my girlfriend who hadn't seen me for four months saying "Can you come out?" and then eight hours later she told me that we should break up before she left without giving me time to explain myself. Standing alone on the top of Mount Victoria looking over beautiful Hong Kong but unable to enjoy it made me cry uncontrollably as tears rolled down my back while sitting in the last row of an empty bus.
My first love failed and this failure led me to focus even more on my work which resulted in my first success as leading actor.
But success is not always one way; remember that there are different types of success and failure too! In 1985 after completing The Return of the Condor Hero film series where i starred alongside actors like Jackie Chan and Andy Lau who were already successful in films by then i wanted more opportunities outside television so asked tvb if i could do one drama per year but they refused .
i chose what suited me best eventually leaving tvb & encountering movies such as 'Lawyer Lawyer' & 'Wong Tin Bar'. People said "you're making a mistake" - yet following your own path leads you through life experiences like these successes & failures until finally meeting people who say "it was all worth it". Success isn't only about achievements or fame; it's about how much love we have shared with others along our journey because ultimately Love makes everything possible!
And so here today sharing this story with young friends across various fields: If any among them ever need encouragement or support feel free to reach out - but remember: take good care yourself for better future ahead! Thank you.
