Adia Chan has made a comeback, and has returned to TVB to film a new drama recently. A few days ago, the 45-year-old actress appeared on a Chinese variety programme and disclosed her depression battle 10 years ago.

“In my most difficult year in 2015, I almost lost confidence in life. I lost almost everything overnight. I was penniless, and can barely afford to pay for my meals and put a roof over my head. I couldn’t imagine that my life would turn out this way,” said Adia.

“I had depression 10 years ago, and could only spend my days seeing doctor and taking medications. In that same year, my father passed away, and this was a big blow to me. I once thought of ending my life. Adia Chan almost disappeared from this world in 2006.”

Adia had a very rough life in her younger days. In her second year in showbiz, she thought of retiring from the industry, but her mother strongly objected to it. This caused their relationship to be estranged, and Adia could only depend on her manager.

In 2005, Adia was fired by her manager, and she was left with only one pile of clothes. Her entire savings was cheated, and she had to sleep on the streets.

At the show, Adia sang Jacky Cheung’s song, Love is eternal <愛是永恆> as she wants to embrace her new life.

“After 10 years, I want this song to commemorate my earlier life. I want to have the courage to embrace my new life!”
