The sex photo scandal has temporarily come to an end like a soap opera. The scandal has unveiled the dark history of Hong Kong's entertainment industry, involving not only Edison Chen, but also Andy Lau, Jet Li, Stephen Chow, Anita Mui, Eric Tsang, Carina Lau, and Mike Mo, among others.
Even though the main characters have left the stage, the conclusion of this incident is far from being determined by Edison Chen's withdrawal. Speculations about the background of the incident are numerous, especially concerning the power struggles and secrets behind Hong Kong's entertainment industry. It is well known that gangster forces have always been rampant in Hong Kong's entertainment circle, with unclear and even inseparable relationships between them. It is speculated that the initial leak of the photos might have been an accident, but they were then used by relevant forces for their own purposes, leading to a complete loss of control. Although the masterminds behind the scenes have not yet revealed themselves and the truth may never be fully disclosed, the folk江湖 (jianghu - underworld/chaotic world) has once again sparked rumors and speculations about the forces within Hong Kong's entertainment industry, even revealing and narrating the "history of Hong Kong's entertainment jianghu" from the beginning until now.
