Hong Kong actress Maggie Cheung, who has kept a low profile in recent years – her last on-screen appearance was in 2013 – has officially joined Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu (Red Note).

In her debut video on Aug 8, the 60-year-old is seen strolling outdoors while sharing why she decided to go online, though her explanation remained intriguingly vague.

“A lot of things don’t need an answer. Timing is very personal. When you feel it is the right time, then it is the right time,” she said, as quoted by 8days.

Sharp-eyed viewers also noticed her outfit. 

Known for her luxury shopping habits, Cheung surprised fans by wearing a T-shirt from an affordable brand. 

In later videos, she showcased her trademark style by mixing simple basics with luxury accessories.

Cheung quickly amassed an impressive following – reportedly 800,000 within days – but some netizens left unkind remarks. 

“Wow! She looks old. Did she let herself go?” read one scathing comment.

Unfazed, Cheung responded with warmth. 

“Welcome to my garden. Thank you for your love and support. On the very first day, I have already met so many friends. I personally edited the video for my debut post. 

“Your comments have made me so happy, encouraging me to keep sharing all kinds of things from my garden with you,” she shared.

In The Mood For Love actress added that her followers can expect content that is “new,” “fun,” “sentimental,” “very light,” “meaningful” and “interesting” – just a few of the 25 adjectives she used.
