33-year-old Hong Kong actress Crystal Pang (Pang Cheung Ling) has been in the industry for 9 years. Now that her contract with TVB has expired, she has announced her departure from showbiz to become a full-time taxi driver. Crystal revealed that after deducting costs, her daily income still exceeds 2,000 HKD (about 1,042 MYR), and her quality of life has noticeably improved.
Recently, Crystal has given up her actress status and decided to become a full-time taxi driver. Regarding this decision, she said it was not a momentary impulse, candidly admitting that she had spent a lot of time chasing her dreams but has now reached an age where she needs to consider real life. Therefore, she decided to leave the entertainment industry for a more stable income.
As for the possibility of returning to acting in the future, Crystal hasn’t ruled it out entirely, only saying that her main goal right now is to make money. She chose to be a driver because she genuinely enjoys driving. She revealed that her daily earnings from driving a taxi, even after deducting gasoline, car rental, and other expenses, still surpass 2,000 HKD. Compared to her previous life as an actress, when she could only afford two meals a day at most, she can now even buy extra clothes to reward herself, and her financial situation has improved a lot.
