When I think of what happened to Zou Shiming, I think of someone: Ekin Cheng. I don’t know if kids today still recognize him.

Ekin Cheng is a well-known “lazy slacker” in the entertainment industry—once he earns money, he just wants to play. He doesn’t want to film anymore; if he has no money, then he films again.
He has zero sense of career drive—that’s for sure.
Back then, his girlfriend, Karena Lam, was a famous overachiever who really “goes all in” at work. She complained that he played games every day and wouldn’t improve.
In the end, Ekin Cheng changed girlfriends. That’s probably for the best—now someone keeps him company, and they play every day.
