[Reporter Yang Xinhan/Reporting from Taipei] Hong Kong king "Wa Tsai" Andy Lau announced the start of singing! Today it was officially announced that "Manulife Insurance Presents About Life Andy Lau Tour Concert - Hong Kong Station" will be held on December 18, 2026, and will run all the way to January 10, 2027, spanning Christmas and New Year's Eve, with 20 performances at the Hong Kong Coliseum in Hung Hom.
Andy shared the concept of the tour, "I hope that through About The concept of life conveys the feeling of every second we are together to every audience. I have also considered whether to use today's feeling, but I am worried that everyone will think it is an old concert concept. In fact, we have been thinking about this idea for a long time, and finally decided to adopt a more life-like interpretation. In my life, it includes many elements such as movies, music, personal life, family and you (fans), which are enough to enrich the theme of "life". Therefore, we hope to use this as the core to present a different meaning."
In the poster, Andy is happily holding a paper airplane and preparing to take off. It turns out that he has been making origami airplanes since he was a child. He said: "In the past days, paper airplanes often appeared on certain occasions or in performances. A seemingly ordinary piece of paper can turn into an airplane after being folded in half a few times; when you shoot it into the air with force, it may spin a few times and then fly to unknown distances. When I was a child, I might just I thought it was fun, but as I grew up, I gradually developed an indescribable emotion towards the paper airplane. As I grew older, the paper airplane seemed to carry an indescribable feeling. Because it is extremely light, a breeze can often change its flight direction, but at the same time, it seems to carry a personal dream and fly far away. "

Andy admits that he is not very good at saying disgusting words, so he sometimes uses paper airplanes to write down what he wants to say, and then lets it fly to unknown places. He also places his dreams in paper airplanes and will work hard to shoot them to unexpected distances. Although it may encounter wind from all directions, and he may not know where it will land in the end, he always feels that the paper plane will definitely reach the place he expects, and hopes that everyone can have a paper plane of their own, carrying their own dreams and love.
The words "About Life" in the poster are also unique. They are made up of personal items that have been with Andy for many years, including pants, socks, scarves, etc. He said: "At first we were thinking hard about how to spell the name, but this time we chose a pattern with a more homely feel. During the conception process, the team made many suggestions, and finally the photographer suddenly had a sudden idea: Can we spell the name with the clothes I actually wore? So, we photographed the clothes I was wearing one by one. Clothes, pants, T-shirts, and even clothes I wore in previous commercials and concerts, as well as different styles of socks, ties, and scarves. These items have been with me for many years. Fans can "treasure hunt" in the posters to find traces of items that have appeared in their lives."
As for whether fans will have a chance to own these commemorative items? Andy said with a smile, "In fact, we have held charity auctions in the past, selling some old or commemorative items, and the proceeds were used to raise funds for charity funds. Recently when I was sorting out the warehouse, I found a lot of clothes from different periods. After this concert, if time permits, I will select some of the clothes and release them again to give fans a chance to collect them."
In order to shoot this series of posters, Andy came well prepared. He said, "I was definitely a little nervous. The night before the shooting, I specifically told myself not to eat too salty food. I also went for a facial two days ago, hoping to make my condition better, but I was also worried that the treatment would stimulate skin acne. On the day of the shooting, we started to be on call at about 9 o'clock. I got up at 7 o'clock, drank a cup of very strong black coffee to refresh myself, then went to the bathroom to tidy up, arrived at the scene at 9 o'clock to put on makeup, and the shooting officially started around 10 to 11 o'clock. The overall process was smooth and the atmosphere was good."
He even revealed, "I can handle any situation. As long as the photographer moves quickly, I'll be fine. But if it takes too long and I make repeated adjustments, my temper may get worse. I'm very grateful to everyone for the good cooperation this time."
Andy Lau's tour concerts will be held from December 18 to 21, 23 to 26, and 28 to 31; January 2 to 5, 7 to 10, 2027.
