Yesterday Benny Chan held a birthday party for his baby daughter, who is now been born for 100 days. The celebration was held at the hotel in Hong Kong Disney Land. Benny is currently filming in Mainland, but has some time to celebrate with his daughter and wife. Benny's wife Lisa dressed like a Mickey Mouse and cut the cake with their daughter. Benny's good friends from the industry like Bobby Au Yeung and Evergreen Mak attended the celebration.

Earlier Benny Chan was involved in the sexual harassment of Rose Chan in Hengdian. He later took his wife out to hold a press conference for a public apology to Rose, he tearfully bowed several times hoping for her forgiveness. The apology didn't reduce Rose's mentor Master Sin's anger at all. Yesterday, Benny published a written public apology on the newspapers and expressed his willingness to donate to the 'End Child Sexual Abuse Foundation'. Finally, Rose forgives him.

Yesterday Master Sin Kwok Lam held a press conference. He expressed earlier after Benny made his public apology, he had been trying to contact him (Master Sin) through several different friends and expressed many different views. It was only until someone mentioned that Benny published a "Public Apology Statement" on several newspapers in both Hong Kong and Mainland to bring Rose's justice back. Benny demonstrated his sincerity and is also going to donate to the 'End Child Sexual Abuse Foundation'. He promised he won't make the same mistake again. Master Sin, Rose, her mother and manager felt the donation to 'End Child Sexual Abuse Foundation' was very meaningful because Benny was disrespectful to females and the foundation provides direct protection to weak females. Master Sin felt that both Benny and Joe did a good deed by donating to the foundation, turning the bad deeds into good one. He also sees Benny's sincerity, that this incident has left a deep impression on him, he is warning himself and has the determination to change.

Master Sin said: "Who hasn't made a mistake before? I have made mistakes before and made an apology in Foshan. Although Benny didn't handle the incident well earlier, this time he had the spirit and courage and great sincerity. According to the public apology published in Mainland, he had to personally go there and have a lawyer present as his witness. So, I decided to give him another chance."

Initially Rose was going to report the case to the Public Security in Mainland yesterday. Because the case had to be transferred to the Public Security, action must be taken 30 days after the incident. Since Rose may have to go to court several times in Mainland, it may mentally impact her greatly. Since there is an alternative solution to this case, it should be taken no further. Now that everything is settled, everyone can get back to work and live their normal lives as usual. Master Sin also expressed he never gave a 'deadline' to Benny and it was just purely a coincidence. He said: "I hope Benny will put his family and work as a his priorities and be a good artist."

Benny Chan, who was previously involved in Rose Chan 'drunk sexual harassment' case, accompanied his wife (Lisa) to the St. Paul's Hospital in Causeway Bay yesterday morning in preparation for the C-section of their baby girl. Before Lisa went into labor, Benny pushed her into the hospital in a wheelchair. Benny appeared quite comfortable pushing his wife, he said: "All packed up! (Going into labor early?) Initially the due date was mid-December, but my baby girl's umbilical cord is wrapped around her neck, so the doctor said its better to get her out early than later. Today is also my wife's birthday, so we chose today. The two Queens will celebrate their birthday together, very special!" Benny's father and mother in-law also accompanied them.

Approximately 1pm, Benny accompanied his wife into the delivery room. Though the labor process wasn't allowed to be captured on video, but Benny personally witnessed his wife under the knife and the blood gushing out. He said he was so frightened, he started shaking.

Until 3:20pm, Benny held a press conference and announced that both mother and daughter are safe, the baby girl is 6.6 pounds and is constantly moving her arms and legs. Benny expressed his daughter's Chinese name is Chan Nga Yu, which was chosen by the elders. Her name means she is knowledgeable and knows her manners. Benny and Lisa will be responsible for the English name, but they do not have any ideas yet. Benny was asked who his daughter resembles more? He said: "When she was just born, she looked like me, but after tidying up, she looks like my wife. I think my wife is just amazing, when I saw her going through the C-section, the blood gushing out and the smell of the laser surgery, I was really frightened, but my wife was so calm. When I saw my daughter come into this world, I cried too." He continued: "That day, I cried too at the press conference, but I want to clarify that my legs weren't feeling weak. Then later the media said I was faking it! (It was rumored you paid Rose Chan HK$1 million to settle the issue?) Today is a very special day, I will talk about it after today ends! (What will you give your wife as a reward?) I will closely be by her side, I'll think about it later!"

After the Rose Chan 'sexual harassment' incident, Benny's image was severely damaged, asked if the incident has affected any of his jobs? He said: "I know have to feed another person in the family, I will need to work harder, but I don't feel like work has been affected! (Did you call your friends and family about the good news?) I called Evergreen Mak and Lam Chi Chung! After the press conference I will call Joe Ma and Timmy Hung. (Your not upset at Joe?) Why would I be? He's my friend!" He reveals he will be going back to Mainland to visit family during his wife's postpartum month.

Rose Chan’s (陳嘉桓) alleged sexual harassment by Benny Chan (陳浩民), while witnessed by Joe Ma (馬德鐘), took place on November 20th at 2 AM in Hengdian, China. When the photos were reviewed by Oriental Sunday’s editorial department, it was quite shocking! Oriental Sunday contacted Rose Chan’s manager to find out Rose’s relationship with Benny and Joe. Rose’s martial arts sifu, Sin Kwok Lam (冼國林), was extremely angry over the incident.

Oriental Sunday sought out Rose for an interview. As the publication deadline had passed for last week’s issue at that point, the interview was printed in the current issue of the magazine instead. Since the incident had occurred within 24 hours, Rose’s reaction may be in its truest form and less inhibited than after her filing of the police report in Hong Kong several days later. Regarding her “humiliation” with the two “wolves” Benny Chan and Joe Ma, Rose expressed outright hatred!

OS= Oriental Sunday ; RC= Rose Chan

OS: What exactly occurred at the barbeque restaurant?

RC: I was eating dinner with a group of Hong Kong artists. Since we were all from Hong Kong and there were veterans present, I thought it would be a good idea to talk to each other and meet up. After they drank too much alcohol, the behavior as depicted in the photos occurred. I did not know what to do; I thought whether I should stay or leave.

OS: Did you talk to other people about the incident?

RC: I spoke with my family about the incident; they advised me to be more careful going forward and that I should decline dinner invitations with people I did not know well.

OS: Did you feel as if you were sexually harassed?

RC: I do not know how to answer you…. I was the most unhappy that such incidents really do occur.

OS: They touched you from behind and your thighs? Joe Ma also leaned on your shoulder!

RC: …I am very scared right now!

OS: Why are you so scared?

RC: I kept resisting them throughout the incident. Their actions became more severe and crossed the boundary. I was very unhappy at that moment, but I did not know what to do. Right before we left, I pushed him (Benny Chan) against the wall and asked what he was doing?!


OS: Throughout the incident, did they say anything sexually suggestive to you? You were whispering to Joe Ma and appeared to be quite intimate with him. Why did you not stop him?

RC: They asked whether I was drunk. I was drinking Coke at the time, so there was no possibility of getting drunk. I felt that they were testing me throughout [the evening]. I kept saying no; I could not accept it. When I went to work today and saw Timmy Hung (洪天明), I told him I do not want to eat dinner [with Benny Chan and Joe Ma] as I did not want to be in contact with them again.

OS: Before Timmy Hung got drunk, did Benny Chan and Joe Ma touch and kiss you?

RC: Timmy helped me in resisting [them].

OS: After Timmy got drunk, they [Benny and Joe] were more aggressive and crossed the boundary?

RC: Mmmm… (sigh) I felt things were not okay at that point. I thought we should quickly leave when Timmy woke up. Afterward, their behavior became increasingly improper (sigh). Throughout the incident, I resisted. I felt that this should not be happening; I was very scared! He kept on touching me from behind. I said that I was only here to eat and not to play with you! Perhaps they thought I was a little girl and easy to bully (sigh).

OS: Since you know Wing Chun martial arts, did you consider defending yourself?

RC: I was afraid that I would be unable to hit them offensively and that they would double their efforts on me.

OS: What do you consider to be the most offensive move they committed towards you?

RC: Forcefully kissing and forcefully holding me! (They didn’t kiss your lips?) No, I dodged it. This was the first time I was without my manager and colleagues by my side. Next time I work overseas, I will find a colleague I know well to stay by my side and decrease networking functions.

Oriental Sunday Followed Hong Kong Stars for 3 Nights

Numerous Hong Kong celebrities were currently filming in Hengdian, China. On November 16, 2011, a reporter and photographer from Oriental Sunday flew to Hengdian [to visit the filming crews], arriving on the sets of The Founding of the Yuan Empire <建元風雲>and Laughter Shaking Mo Lam <笑功震武林>. During Oriental Sunday staff’s visit, Timmy Hung assembled numerous Hong Kong stars from various filming projects for dinner. From November 17th to 19th for three nights, the stars “partied”!

November 17th 8:30 PM (Szechuan Dinner) – The dinner’s organizer, Timmy Hung, reserved a VIP room on the second floor of the restaurant. Throughout the evening, Timmy was spotted going up and down the stairs to receive the artists attending the dinner. At 9:30 PM, Rose Chan arrived and Timmy went downstairs to receive her. After the dinner, the group boarded into different cars to go to a karaoke establishment. Despite attending the dinner, Alex Fong (方中信), did not follow the group to the karaoke and apparently went back to his hotel.

November 20th 1:00 AM – (Werewolves Appear) After the female artists were settled, the men went to a barbeque restaurant. The brave Rose Chan ventured with the group.

Yesterday at 4pm, Benny Chan held a press conference accompanied by his 10 month pregnant wife (Lisa) and his manager. Dressed in a black suit and tie, Benny had a desolated expression, while he helped his wife to her seat and showed how good of a husband he is. Soon after, his manager made the opening speech, Benny held onto his wife's hand as he started his confession: "Regarding the unpleasant event that happened to Ms. Rose Chan last week in Hengdian, here I would like to say with all my heart...(big sigh) sorry." Following his apology, Benny did a 90 degree bow.

Then Bowie sat back down and continued: "I admit that day I did drink too much, my actions crossed the line and were inappropriate. Here, I admit that I was really wrong. (becomes emotional and tears forming) I really didn't mean to! (sighs) I didn't mean to hurt Rose. I know the incident, this time, has cause her embarrassment and unhappiness, here I apologize to her loving family and friends. Because of my unintentional mistake, I drank too much and caused so much trouble to her, making people that love her worry and unhappy, here I want to say sorry to them."

Benny stressed he felt regretful after the incident and did not forget to apologize to his wife, family, friends and fans. When he mentioned his family, Benny's tears came running down as he emotionally shouted: "I was really wrong!" At this moment, his wife Lisa, who was initially calm, she started tearing up as well and handed a tissue to her husband. She also patted his back to comfort him.

After sobbing for about 30 seconds, Benny puts away his emotions and continues: "I really regret it, I am an adult and still so playful. I don't know what I can do to compensate for my wrongdoings. The most fortunate is that I got my wife's forgiveness and trust. She gave me the chance to change and start fresh again, (sobs) so I can become a responsible father and husband that is willing to change. From here on, I promise everyone that I will put great effort into quitting drinking. I will go see the doctor and if the doctor feels its necessary for me to go through treatments to quit drinking, I am more than willing to accept. I really want to cut off all relations with alcohol."

Benny said he has already learned a lesson and will reflect on his actions. He apologizes to Rose Chan once again: "I sincerely apologize to Rose Chan again. Please forgive me." Following his apology, Benny stood up once again and bowed. Then he continued: "Finally, I want to apologize to two seniors, one is Rose's mother and Master Sin (Rose' mentor/manager), this incident has really got them heartbroken and upset. I am truly the one to blame, here I send them my deepest apologies, sorry." Benny stood up and bowed for the third time.

When Benny sat back down, Lisa continued the statement, she spoke in Mandarin and pleaded for her husband: "This time, Benny really did acknowledged his mistake, I hope friends present today can give him a second chance because he indeed apologized and promised me (the two looks at each other) to really put in effort to quit drinking. For our baby and I, Benny will work hard on his jobs. I hope everyone will forgive him and I hope Little Rose Chan can forgive Benny. Thank you."

The press conference ended with Lisa's statement. Wonder if Benny was just too emotional, but when he was getting up to leave, his legs were shaky and he just couldn't stop crying. His emotions were out of control, he sobs and shouts: "I am sorry to her!" Benny had to get support from his wife, and even his manager, who was supporting Lisa, switched sides and went to support Benny instead.

When leaving, reporters asked if Rose had any drinks at the time and did she resist? Can he give up his attractions for female charms? Does he feel Joe Ma lacks a sense of brotherhood? Benny just whimpered: "I'm not commenting anymore, sorry!"

Rose Chan (陳嘉桓) was unfortunately sexually harassed by Benny Chan (陳浩民) and Joe Ma (馬德鐘) while in Hengdian, China several days ago. Sunday Magazine’s publication of the photos chronicling the harassment incident ignited angry reactions among Hong Kong celebrities, with Nick Cheung (張家輝) and Simon Yam (任達華) blasting the men’s unscrupulous behavior. Nick Cheung even cursed angrily, “If someone violated my daughter in this manner, I will [expletive] kill him!”

Nick Cheung noted, “My wife, Esther Kwan (關詠荷), and I are artists and also the parents of our daughter. If the harassment did in fact occur, I support the police to step in to handle the situation. If you consider the situation from Rose’s family’s perspective, they must be very hurt.” (If someone violated your daughter in such a manner, what will you do?) “I will [expletive] kill him! Even if you are drunk, you have to be responsible for your behavior!”

Condemned for Lewd Behavior
Nick professed that he did not know Rose Chan, Joe Ma, or Benny Chan well, but felt that Rose was only a young girl. Since she was working in China alone, veteran actors should take care of her. The reporter pointed out that life in Hengdian was dull and there was not much entertainment; thus, actors were easily prompted to “commit wrongdoings.” Nick strongly disagreed, “I also filmed in Hengdian in the past. As to whether you commit wrongdoings or not depend on the person. Please remember to tell everyone that the entertainment industry is not like this!”

Upon learning of Rose being sexually harassed, Simon Yam said, “They acted in such a horrendous manner? If this were true, they need to reflect upon their actions! Drinking can lead to problems! The Monkey King (Benny Chan’s) powers cannot match Wing Chun martial arts. Why don’t you ask Dennis To (杜宇航) to take a few sips and have a few rounds with him!” Simon urged Benny Chan and Joe Ma to issue public apologies to Rose Chan.

After seeing the harassment photos, Eric Tsang (曾志偉) angrily blasted, “That should not have happened! That’s too much! Let me go back and use my Wing Chun powers to knock those guys down!” (You will teach them a lesson?) “When I go to Hengdian next month, I will be sure to do so! Benny Chan often plays wildy, but Joe Ma is not like that! Perhaps he drank some fake wine? Last month, there was a chauffer who drank some fake white wine and he turned violent.”

Eric often got into trouble after drinking too much. Due to his experience, Eric said, “The worst thing is that you do not recall what happened even after you have gained mental clarity. Perhaps now they are immensely regretting their actions.” (But when you are drunk, you do not commit such lewd actions?) “That’s because my health is in a poor condition!”
Bosco Wong (黃宗澤) commented that it was inevitable that artists had to go drinking for networking purposes. He will be careful in avoiding getting drunk. “If I wish to drink, I will stay home to do so. If there are any problems, this will not impact other people.”

When asked to comment on Rose’s harassment incident, Myolie Wu (胡杏兒) indicated that she was unclear about the situation and did not wish to interject. Myolie indicated that she has only encountered gentlemen since entering the industry. Asked whether she was taken advantage of while drunk, Myolie replied, “No!” (How would you react if it happened to you?) “I do not know, but I hope it does not happen to any woman!”

Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣) hoped that Rose’s emotions will return to normal soon. “I have filmed in mainland, China too and there were celebratory banquets. Each time, I have to work early in the morning, thus I did not stay too long at the dinners. Although my alcohol tolerance is not high, no one forced me to drink with them.”

Supporters of Benny Chan and Joe Ma

Benny Chan’s good friend, Evergreen Mak (麥長青), trusted that Benny possessed a good character. “I do not understand why the photos were taken at such a close distance! There were so many people present. If the harassment had indeed occurred, someone should have stopped it.” (Will you urge Benny Chan to drink less?) “He has been drinking less. Last time I saw him, he did not even drink.”

Aimee Chan (陳茵媺) supported that Joe Ma was a gentleman. “Since entering the industry, I have been very lucky. The senior actors have taken good care of me. Joe Ma is a good ‘si hing’ [senior brother]. The actors at TVB are very gentleman and take care of junior artists.” (If Moses Chan (陳豪) acted in such a manner, what would you do?) “Ha ha! It depends on whom he kisses!”

Earlier Rose Chan encountered a "Devil Claw Wolf Kisses" incident in Hengdian. She and Timmy Hung, Benny Chan and Joe Ma were having late night BBQ, initially it was just a normal supper, but later Rose turned into the Dim Sum for "hungry wolves" (referring to Benny/Joe)!

At the scene, it was seen Rose was having supper with the group. The three men were drunk, Timmy passed out, while the other two tried to force kiss Rose several times. To stop Rose from screaming, Benny used force covering Rose' mouth with his hand. This frightened Rose so much she didn't know what to do! As for the other 'male lead', Joe Ma, who was sitting right next to her didn't stop Benny, but went to give her more hugs and kisses. Their behavior indeed went over the line.

As the situation was serious, Rose's management and boss (Sin Kwok Lam) was furious after seeing the photos from the magazine report. Initially, Rose was scheduled to be back in Hong Kong early next month, however, after this incident, her boss instantly changed her schedule and had her fly back last night. This afternoon, Sin will be holding a press conference, according to sources, they will also visit the police department vowing to win Rose's justice back.

After the wild incident, Benny admitted to his wrongdoings on Weibo yesterday afternoon, but he described himself to have 'good hospitality': "I am wrong, just blame that I have too good hospitality, I really treat my friends from the heart. We were all shooting in Hengdian, and a group of friends went out together for dinner, but the form of expression was too exaggerated that led my friend to feel uncomfortable. I caused worries to my family and friends. I am most thankful for the trust my wife has for me. In the future, I will be more careful and be wise when meeting people."

However, after the 'force kissing' photos came out, the incident started heating up. Five hours later, Benny writes on Weibo again. This time, he changes his words and apologized. Benny stressed he didn't have any inappropriate feelings for Rose: "Today I saw the report, and because of my playfulness, I brought too much trouble to everyone. I frightened Rose and cause angered to Master Sin (Sin Kwok Lam). To this, I am officially announcing my apology to the related parties of this incident. I also hope Rose's work won't be affected because of this incident. I just have a brother-sister relationship with you, nothing more. I hope Master Sin understands this and I apologize once again."

Subsequently, Joe Ma also changed his response after the photos leaked. He explained: "That day I was drunk, but I was still aware of my surroundings. I saw Rose wasn't happy, so I just wanted to show my concern and comfort her. I absolutely did not do anything inappropriate to her." When asked of Benny's condition at the time? Joe drew a line with him: "I'm not sure of the other matters!" Although Joe is currently troubled by the incident, yesterday Joe still attended the 911 CARRERA car expo in Guangzhou with famous model Ana R.

Rose Chan celebrated her 19th birthday in Hengdian earlier with the cast of new film 笑功震武林 including Timmy Hung, Joe Ma, Alex Fong (Chung Sun), Michelle Ye and Benny Chan. Since many of the cast where HK artists, it is rare to meet a large group of 'friends' in a foreign place and so the group decided to have dinner together. It was also another staff member's birthday, so after the dinner, Rose, Timmy, Benny, Joe and the other staff went to sing karaoke to celebrate. During the time, someone tried to convince Rose to drink, but she explained: "I'm underage, so I just want to drink juice" to turn the person down.

After karaoke, the group went out for supper at a BBQ place. At the BBQ, there was only Timmy, Benny and Joe remaining, and they were already drunk. Timmy was so drunk, he fell asleep at the table. Benny and Joe were so drunk they got out of hand. It was said Joe first went to hug and kiss Rose, then Benny gave Rose a kiss on the cheek and lips. Rose was so frightened her "soul flew away". First she had to use her hand to block off Joe and then use the other hand to cover her face from Benny, she shouted: "I'm still young, don't play!" One of the staff saw this and quickly pulled the two men away. Later, Joe and Benny apologized to Rose.

Regarding Rose's unpleasant event in Mainland, her mentor and manager (Sin Kwok Lam) expressed the details of situation is limited, but he is already very angered. Sin feels some people are even worse than a beast, bully young girls! He said with anger: "Wait until I find out the details of the story. If it is serious, I will definitely not be lenient, must take legal action and call the police. We are currently seeking legal advice from a lawyer."

However Sin, who is known to be fair, also scolded Rose for being incompetent of protecting herself: "The entertainment circle should have mutual trust. Being intoxicated (drunk) is just an excuse. She (Rose) is really not subtle enough, didn't know how to protect herself. I already scolded her for a whole hour. Such stupidity, these people treating young girls like that, of course it is not good. They are not assisting the younger generation at all, but instead take such inappropriate actions, I look down on these type of people."

Reporters contacted Rose to ask about her unpleasant event. Asked if the drunk Joe and Benny went too far, hugging and kissing her? Ros expressed: "This did in fact happen, I did push them away, perhaps they were drunk and there are some misunderstanding." Rose admitted Joe and Benny did apologize to her: "They said sorry to me. I just hope such unpleasant events won't ever happen again. When we go out to eat, it is usually a large group of people, I know how to protect myself, but it still turned out to be like this. In the future, I really have to avoid coming into contacted with people who are drunk! (After this incident, will you be upset and unhappy?) Of course I am unhappy, didn't think it would be like this. I hope this will not happen again."

Benny claims he was sober, no hugs/kisses, fears wife might miscarriage
Currently in Mainland, Benny was asked yesterday about the hugging and kissing incident with Rose? Benny appeared shocked: "What did I do? (Rose admitted you apologized to her after the incident?) Why did I have to say sorry to her! Last night we did go for supper, the boss and assistant were there too. What could I do in public? (Did you hug and kiss her?) No! Why would I? At most was whisper in her ear or put my arm on her shoulder. If even that kind of contact, she feels uncomfortable, then I can call her and say sorry! Because I did not have any motive to do something disrespectful at all. (Were you drunk?) I drank a little, but I was sober. I even drove the motorcycle back home! (Does your wife know?) No, I'm really worried how you all will write about this because my wife will be going into labor soon, don't want to frightened her so much that she'll miscarriage!"

Timmy was also present that night, reporters contacted him yesterday and he admitted he was there too, but he was drunk and didn't know what was going on. Timmy said: "I dazed off in the middle, Benny joked and asked Rose if she wanted to eat sheep testes, but Rose it was disgusting and was really scared. Benny then put the sheep testes near her and wanted her to eat it, so that's why there was a misconception that he kissed her! (Did you see the hugging?) It is just giving her support! As far as I know, Benny is a very playful person."

Joe Ma expressed over the phone: "I was just telling Rose a secret since I wanted to play a trick on Benny. (Did you hug and kiss her?) No, just got close to her. (What secret were you telling her?) Trick him into eating the sheep testes."

Hong Kong actor Benny Chan shot to fame, after portraying the Monkey God in TVB drama Journey to the West II.

Earlier in July, the actor tied the knot with Lisa Jiang, his girlfriend of two years. The couple had denied allegations that they had a shotgun wedding.

Two days ago, Lisa uploaded pictures of Benny carrying a newborn baby on her microblog, with the caption: "Benny's smile is even more beautiful than the blossoming flowers. This is such a warm and happy scene."

A few days earlier the model had written, "Beginning November, I'll be counting down. I am pleasantly surprised and looked forward [to it]. As time creeps closer, I become more excited. I'm really looking forward to my 'gift' from the heavens this year."

Netizens began to speculate that Benny and Lisa did have a shotgun wedding, and that the actor had become a father.

Responding to the rumours, Benny's friend revealed that the child that Benny carried in his arms belonged to the actor's friend.

However, Lisa is definitely pregnant, but her due date is in December.

Benny's friend added that Lisa became pregnant in February.

However, the couple was forced to wed in July because Benny was worried that the paparazzi would find out if they registered for marriage in Hong Kong and that his contract -- which had a clause that "forbids him to marry" -- had yet to expire.

Last month, Benny Chan suddenly announced he married Mainland model Lisa Jiang. Recently he accepted an interview in Mainland and spoke about his wife and past rumors.

Benny and Charmaine Sheh were once rumored for a very long time. He said before in an interview: "There was one time I had a relationship that I thought could get into the stage of marriage, but unexpectedly it could not finish." Asked if he was referring to Charmaine? Benny smiled and said he will just let everyone guess. He and Charmaine still keep in touch, and she knew long before that he was dating Lisa. Benny said: "I told her I wanted to get married. She said good! I said when I have children in the future, she's going to be their god-mother. She laughed and said ok! We are not awkward and like a family now."

Benny boasted that he's very fortunate to find an understanding wife. She would accompany him on the set, cook for him and even help wash his buddies' clothes. She's laid back, and they had a close relationship, so there's no reason not to marry her. The two met while shooting Legend of the Crazy Monk, and was introduced by a friend. They both had the impression of "Wah, big celebrity, a playboy!' and "Sexy Model, is she only satisfied by a colorful life?" After deepen their understanding for one another, Benny discovered that Lisa is down to earth, while he is also very much like a commoner. They were very compatiable. The public felt he's a playboy, but Benny expressed his marriage proves that he does have commitments and is a responsible man.

After 41 year old Benny Chan ended the 6 year underground relationship with Charmaine Sheh, in the recent years he developed in Mainland and got to know the barely 25 year old Hunan Model Lisa (Jiang Li Sha). Benny and Lisa dated for two years before deciding for marriage. A Netizen said Benny and Lisa went to Changsha to register for their marriage. His manager Charles and parents of both sides witnessed the marriage. The low-profile Benny did things with extreme caution, he didn't register for marriage at a big hall like other people, but instead at a office building.

Eventually his marriage was exposed, yesterday Benny took the initiative and uploaded a wedding photo on Weibo. He wrote: "Thank you all for your blessings, I have already happily entered the next stage of life." It was said Lisa won third place in a Hunan Model contest and is now works as a designer. On her blog, we discovered many of her sexy photos, besides her bikini photos taken in Maldives, there are several other hot and revealing advertisement photos. On her website, it said she was Cecilia Cheung's 'chest substitute' before.

On July 7th, Lisa uploaded a photo of a Chanel necklace on Weibo. She wrote: "July 7th is the Chinese White Valentine's Day, and is our memorial day. Thanks to time for witnessing this, just like the South seas pearls matched with diamonds, forever pure, elegant and perfect." Lisa reveals she and her lover arrived in a dining hall in France to eat, she said: "Happiness reaches up to the sky! Love U Thank you for everything." Wonder if Benny gave her a romantic proposal? Lisa accepted a phone interview and said: "Thank you for the blessings." and then hung up.

Ex-lover Charmaine Sheh congratulated Benny over the phone: "He told us all on Weibo, I sent a SMS and congratulated him too. I don't know Lisa, but I am happy for them."

Benny's other ex-lover Michelle Ye attended the press conference to her new series in Beijing and was asked about Benny's good news. When Benny being the groom was mentioned, Michelle's face turned black and said: "I didn't know about it, congrats to him. He was my first on screen partner when I entered the industry, then we collaborated in three series." At the time, Michelle may have felt she appeared bitter, so she tried to smooth things over by telling the male lead Hawick Lau standing besides her: "When you get married, must tell me." Other good friends including Tavia Yeung and Evergreen Mak congratulated Benny on Weibo as well.

As for Benny's manager Charles, he expressed not long after they returned from the wedding in Changsha, it was already rumored the two were engaged. Charles said: "They dated for about 2 years, they share so much in common, so they decided to get married." However, Benny's job line up is until next year, so he probably won't hold a wedding banquet, just have a meal with family. Asked if the bride is pregnant that the two married so quickly? He denied: "No, he just happened to have 1-2 weeks off, I haven't heard he wanted to have kids."

Earlier Benny Chan was photographed with a long-haired, big eyes young lady walking on the streets. Yesterday a reader investigated Benny's new love interest. The young lady is named Lisa and is a designer, her website has a lot of sexy photos, including bikinis and evening dress. She also has a body figure that sticks out.

Benny's manager accepted a telephone interview and denied that the two are dating: "They met once in Hong Kong. Benny took her to have a meal with Evergreen Mak and some other good friends. My impression is that she's a good and polite girl. If she dresses sexily, that is all based on opinions."
