Taiwanese actress Shu Qi and her husband, director Stephen Fung, captured everyone’s attention at the Taiwan premiere of Girl on November 4. The couple, who have been together for nearly three decades, appeared inseparable throughout the event — smiling, posing side by side, and sharing affectionate moments that had fans cheering in delight.
Fung, who directed Girl, showed his pride and support for his wife by wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the film’s title. Prior to the premiere, he even recorded a heartwarming video message alongside their two beloved cats, wishing Shu Qi success for the film’s release.
The adorable gesture quickly made rounds on social media, with fans praising the couple’s loving bond. Their relationship — often described as one built on respect, humor, and quiet understanding — once again became the center of attention.
The topic “Shu Qi and Stephen Fung Are the Perfect Couple” trended widely on Weibo, garnering hundreds of thousands of comments and likes. Fans couldn’t stop gushing over the couple’s long-lasting affection and genuine connection.
“They support and protect each other silently — that’s real love.”
“Their passion has turned into understanding and harmony. No performative affection, just warmth in everyday moments.”
“After 28 years, they’ve shown that the greatest love is letting each other live freely and comfortably.”
Such messages reflect how Shu Qi and Stephen Fung have become a symbol of enduring love in the entertainment industry — one rooted in companionship rather than spectacle.
Earlier this year, Shu Qi won Best Director at the Busan International Film Festival for Girl. During her acceptance speech, she lovingly thanked her husband:
“Thank you, Stephen, for marrying a woman who’s rarely at home.”
To which Fung playfully replied later,
“I guess I should start cleaning up — we’re going to have too many trophies coming home soon!”
The couple’s witty and affectionate banter drew laughter and admiration from fans across Asia, further solidifying their reputation as one of the industry’s most beloved duos.
At the same event, Shu Qi candidly shared a personal story about her strained relationship with her father and how her husband helped her see things differently.
“I once behaved poorly toward my dad, and Stephen scolded me. He said, ‘No matter what, he’s still your father.’”
The actress went on to explain how Fung’s optimism and maturity have influenced her outlook:
“He’s someone who always moves forward. He told me, ‘You’re a generous person — be thankful to your parents. Without them, you wouldn’t be who you are today.’”
Her honesty touched many fans, who praised the couple not only for their love story but also for their emotional depth and mutual growth.
After nearly 28 years together, Shu Qi and Stephen Fung continue to embody what many fans call “real, grown-up love.” Their relationship — built on humor, humility, and shared passion for film — remains a bright spot in the ever-changing world of showbiz.
As Girl begins its theatrical run in Taiwan, the couple’s warmth and authenticity have only deepened their reputation as one of Asia’s most admired pairs — proving that true love doesn’t fade under the spotlight; it simply grows stronger.
