The Drama King Chung King Fai (King Sir) passed away in his sleep yesterday at the age of 89. He has devoted more than half a century to show business, dedicated his life to drama, dabbled in stage dramas, television and film, served as the management of the television station, and promoted drama education. From being the trailblazing founder of the TVB artist training class to the founding director of the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts, he had countless students and was the benefactor of many on and off camera. They included Chow Yun Fat, who originally was not able to enter the artist training class. Chung King Fai caught his potential and decided to accept him. Angelina Lo Yuen Yen was a student of the 2nd TVB Training Class student and a student of Chung King Fai. Originally she planned to visit her mentor with other classmates, but she did not expect to receive the news of King Sir's passing and hence regretted not being able to see him for the last time. Louisa Lee Sze Kee has worked with Chung King Fai on television and stage drama, praised her colleague as a "true drama master". Meeting him was the greatest gain in her performing art career.

In 2016 King Sir was diagnosed with colorectal cancer, his health started to deteriorate so he rarely appeared in public. His nephew Chung Chi Kuen announced the news of his passing. "It is with great sorrow that I hereby announce to everyone that my uncle Chung King Fai passed away peacefully in his sleep at home this morning. Uncle dedicated his life to drama, with students everywhere. We deeply understand everyone's respect and love for him. Thank you everyone for your concern and company for him. Currently we as his family is working on handling Uncle's funeral, of which once the details are confirmed we would make an announcement to everyone!"

Chung King Fai was a Chinese Thai, his family originated from Taishan, Guangdong. Never married, he was only linked in rumors with So Hang Shuen. He started participating in school dramas since his second year in secondary school. In 1958 he went to the U.S. to study drama, after graduating from Yale University drama school with master of art degree he returned to Hong Kong and once taught at the Baptist University. In 1967 he started working at TVB, during which he suggested starting an artist training class and cultivated a large group of film and television talent including Chow Yun Fat and Ringo Lam Lan Tung. Reportedly back then when Chow Yun Fat registered for the artist training class he was not accepted, but Chung King Fai had a sharp eye. "I felt Chow Yun Fat had a good look and potential, so I gave him a chance." He was even the Academy of Performing Arts drama school's founding director. In his 17 year term he was connected to Gardner Tse Kwan Ho, Louisa So Yuk Wah, Poon Chan Leung, Alice Lau Nga Lai, Power Chan Kwok Pong, Wong Cho Nam and other students and had a lifetime full of students.

In addition to his efforts in education, Chung King Fai's solo performance was just as well known. He directed and participated in classic dramas like WEST SIDE STORY and THE DEATH OF A SALESMAN, even in the film GOD OF GAMBLERS 3: THE EARLY STAGE played Ko Chun's master. With an extreme eerie and mysterious smile, he perfectly interpreted the so-called "smile that could send chills to your spine" and became the villain classic in Hong Kong film history. He also narrated the ATV classis program STORIES FROM AFAR, with his unique and magnetic voice that remained collective memories today. Chung King Fai always faced life and death openly. "I am not afraid of getting old. I feel when a person keeps getting old, he is able to keep growing, keep learning. A leaf is also waiting for the time for it to fall in order to be able to release its most brilliant color. Life truly is very beautiful, so I would use my limited time to do the most I can."

Once the news of Chung King Fai's passing spread, the entire entertainment circle was rocked. One of his disciples Tse Kwan Ho was rehearsing his new drama THE MAGIC HOUR at the Academy of Performing Arts. He said, "1986 was my first year at (the Academy of) Performing Arts, which was when I performed King Sir's CRYANO DE BERGERAC on the same stage. It was also the first performing art piece that I followed him in. Now getting the bad news in this old place, I am full of emotions and pain. Without King Sir, there would be no Academy of Performing Arts, and no Hong Kong show business pattern of today." He felt deeply grateful that his mentor passed away peacefully in his sleep and thought that it was the best ending, may he rest in peace. He also promised to handle his mentor's funeral later. So Yuk Wah also expressed her great sorrow. "When I learned that you left us, I couldn't speak for a long time. It was like falling into a time tunnel, with all the footage of the past appearing in front of me one by one. Your story has always encouraged me, inspired me -- to be uniformly focused, keep working hard, inject passion and strictly follow the rules, these professional spirits have always been a part of my performing art life." Ben Yuen Fu Wah lamented, "He was a teacher I really respect and love, and he made many contributions to the drama scene. I was fortune to be an actor in several of his plays. He would complete the work with ease and full of effort. In a play we played different characters in different versions, he gave me a lot of advices and a lot of encouragement. I have learned a lot from him."

Lo Yuen Yen yesterday in a telephone interview with the TVB Entertainment News tearfully bid farewell o her mentor, revealing that originally she and her classmates were to visit Chung King Fai in the afternoon. "I admire King Sir the most, when I was in the training class he taught us very well. He taught us acting all the way to today. We respect him very much and felt that he really was very talented. He was already studying at Yale University in the 1960s, a master of drama with a doctorate degree and countless awards. I missed the chance to see him. Originally I was thinking about visiting him, but I didn't expect to receive this news. He and I have worked together on the TVB series WELCOME TO THE HOUSE and several more. After I heard the news I was numb."

Christine Ng Wing Mei also collaborated with Chung King Fai on WELCOME TO THE HOUSE and the TVB drama THE STEW OF LIFE respectively, playing her father-in-law and father. "WELCOME TO THE HOUSE has more than 200 episodes, and I have the opportunity to get along with King Sir for a long time. He was a great senior, gentle and cultured. I am deeply honored to have the opportunity to work with and learn from this elder on my show business journey. I am very saddened to learn of his passing. The entertainment industry lost a respectable predecessor, may he have a safe journey."

Lee Sze Kee and Chung King Fai performed in THE STEW OF LIFE and the stage play ON GOLDEN POND. Lee Sze Kee said that her co-star was the teacher she respected all her life. Chung King Fai focused on and was serious about the work, patiently taught the next-generation actors. She described him as a "true drama master", "the greatest gain in my acting career is to be able to meet such a good teacher, I will always miss and admire him." Lawrence Cheng Tan Shui said, "He was my Baptist communication department teacher. We played father and son in the drama WELCOME TO THE HOUSE. We were with each other day and night for over a year and it was a very rare destiny. In my heart he was a wise man. I would remember his kindness for the rest of my life." Liza Wang Ming Chuen said, "He made great contributions to and had great influence on the Hong Kong drama scene. Back then he and I performed the play OUR TOWN, later we also had many contact opportunities at TVB. With old age, really nothing could be done (about passing), fortunately he passed peacefully in his sleep."

Former TVB producer Amy Wong Sum Wai revealed her deep connection with Chung King Fai. When she graduated from secondary school she registered for the TVB Training Class with classmates just for fun, and the examiner was Chung King Fai. She asked him a very silly question and left an impression with Chung King Fai. As she continued her studies she joined RTV on a summer job. There was an internal recruitment, Chung King Fai was a senior executive and interviewed her again. Many people applied for 4 spots, and she finally received the assistant director opportunity. Wong Sum Wai even got choked up as she said, "King Sir saw my enthusiasm for performing arts and gave the opportunity. King Sir was once my boss, he was highly respected in this industry and well educated; but as an actor, he didn't put on air, wouldn't exceed the position of the actor, very respectful of the director and would communicate with each other. He was very kind, he wouldn't mind the size of the role, everyone was very happy during production."

Wong Sum Wai invited Chung King Fai to be the dramas she produced, MY FAMILY and THE STEW OF LIFE. She remembered that when he made MY FAMILY he was already up there in age. The series had a three levels village house, during the shoot he had to go up and down many times. "King Sir never said that he was tired. Everyone around him noticed that repeatedly going up and down on the stairs was very hard on him." When she found out yesterday that Chung King Fai passed away, she missed him and was saddened.

Wayne Lai Yiu Cheung and Chung King Fai collaborated on TVB dramas COME HOME LOVE: DINNER AT 8 and THE CONFIDANT. Chung King Fai played his master in THE CONFIDANT, "King Sir's teaching on and off screen has benefited me a lot."

Roger Kwok Chun On worked with him on COME ON, COUSIN and was rather sentimental. "King Sir to me was a treasure of the performing arts scene. Whether on or off camera he was full of knowledge, he was even very attractive with behind the scene narration. I was fortunate to have contact with him in COUSIN, during the process I thought he was a very courteous, very elegant gentleman. He was a teacher. If you ask, he would explain it to you." His co- star on dramas WILL POWER and THE DANCE OF PASSION Moses Chan Ho said, "King Sir's teaching and helping hand to the younger generation would always deeply influenced every one of us actors."

Chung King Fai's last drama was TVB's FINDING HER VOICE that premiered in 2019. Playing his granddaughter in the show, Jacqueline Wong Sum Wing responded, "From when I was little and listened to his warm voice in STORIES FROM AFAR, to growing up and working with him, playing my grandfather, I felt extremely wonderful and honored. He brought us all the warm memories. May King Sir leave the pain behind and be happy, have a safe journey." Co-star Owen Cheung Chung Long said, "King Sir back then made this series after recovering from major illness. He was very energetic and very professional. Even when he felt unwell, he still insisted on performing all of his scenes. He was always on time, truly an exceptionally good great elder."

Chung King Fai was never married and had no children, and had even less gossip. On Stephen Chan Chi Wan's 2009 TVB program BE MY GUEST he interviewed Chung King Fai and mentioned that in 1977 he was linked to So Hang Shuen in rumors, which Chung King Fai smiled and denied as he praised So Hang Shuen as a character actor. Chan Chi Wan said yesterday that he has already forgotten about asking Chung King Fai about dating So Hang Shuen, because the topic of the interview was Chung King Fai talking about drama. He also said that he has seen many of his stage dramas. He revealed that after BE MY GUEST he once recorded a radio interview with Chung King Fai, which was never released. He was considering scheduling a broadcast, so that everyone could relive the reasons why Chung King Fai was intoxicated in drama.

Nancy Sit Ka Yin attended the event yesterday and mentioned that her relationship with Chung King Fai was as early as the RTV era when he was a high-level executive. When she and Michael Lai Siu Tin presided over "KA YIN AND SIU TIN", Chung King Fai also gave advice. "King Sir contributed a lot in the show business, was a very respected elder. He had a part in founding the Academy of Performing Arts. Many graduates of the school are now also teaching in my music center. He not only taught acting, but also taught everyone the attitude and the principles of life they should have. He was a great teacher. Back then we worked together on THE THREAT OF LOVE II, in which we played a variety of roles, sometimes during filming even I confused the characters. Fortunately I had King Sir's reminds and everyone had fun working together." Sit Ka Yin said that although she was saddened about Chung King Fai's passing and would miss him, passing away peacefully in his sleep was a kind of blessing.

Wong Cho Nam and Power Chan Kwok Bong stated that their mentor Chung King Fai had far reaching influence on them. Wong Cho Nam posted on social network, "King Sir was well respected all his life, with students galore. I was fortunate enough to enroll several years before King Sir left his job (the Academy of Performing Arts) and able to attend his classes. The artistic principles he firmly held that have been useful for a lifetime have been more than I could count. Later when I entered show business, I had the opportunity to invite King Sir to participate in the drama COUSIN and FUK LUK SAU. In order to support students he never turned anything down, performing every aspect of life, both drama and comedy as students admired from the sidelines. The drama education that King Sir established changed each and every student's life tracks. May you on the stage in Heaven continued to perform the roles you liked and continue to chase your dreams!"

Cantonese opera star Law Yim Hing (Sister Hing), director Jack Ng Wai Lun, martial art superstars Yuen Biao and Lau Kar Wing two nights ago attended the opening ceremony of the "Hong Kong Film Archive Stories Treasure Hunting for 25 Years" would be held from June 3rd to March 29th next year at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, with nearly 1,000 museum-based film and cultural treasures collected, restored and preserved. Guest performers were singer Feanna Wong Shuk Man. Making a rare appearance, Sister Hing was happy to see old friends; Yuen Biao and Lau Kar Wing revisited their "life risking history"; a group of filmmakers also appeared to show their support. The scene is very lively.

The opening ceremony was unveiled with Wong Shuk Man's song "We Almost Flew". She joked before singing that she was also 25 just like the film archive. After a speech from the Cultural and Leisure Services Director Manda Chan Wing Man, the event emcee invited Yuen Biao, Lau Kar Wing and Ng Wai Lun to share their different experiences of film on stage. After the opening ceremony the guests moved to the "Hong Kong Film Archive Stories Treasure Hunting for 25 Years" exhibition, Sister Hing and Yuen Biao both took photos in front of their respective works.

Known as the "Prince of Beauty", Sister Hing revealed that she was almost 101 and said that she rarely went out normally due to a leg injury. After receiving many invitations from friends she agreed to attend this event. "I saw so many friends, meeting up is pretty happy." She said that this visit to the exhibition hall has brought up a lot of memories, as she remembered many lively and funny scenes when filming with Leung Sing Bo in the 1960s and 1970s. Sister Hing said, "Although I have rarely gone out, my grandnephews, disciples and their disciples also occasionally would check up on me and help with buying clothes." Sister Hing also shared her daily life, "I watch TV, have afternoon tea, and play mahjong with my friends, but I often miss out. The most important thing is to be able to have fun with friends." Speaking of former co-star Wu Fung's upcoming concerts, Law Yim Hing said that she would be interested in attending. "I know Wu Fung will perform and am considering going to support him. Normally I am already resting by 6 or 7 PM, I sleep very early, so I can go to an afternoon show."

Lau Kar Wing and Yuen Biao represented two generations of martial art action actors. They remembered the past Hong Kong production action films were quite crazy, requiring jumps from several floors high to the ground. Shown in the exhibition hall was footage from their film KNOCKABOUT (JAP GA SIU JI), which made them remember the good times in the past. They praised that when making action films at that time they took a lot of risks, and yet was a very brilliant era for them. They were very happy that these wonderful fragments were preserved and exhibited in the exhibition, so that more people can enjoy them. Yuen Biao said, "I have participated in a lot of thrilling action scenes, (Sammo) Hung Kam Bo would be the action director, Jackie Chan and I were the stuntmen. If someone had to jump from the 2nd floor, if he couldn't I would and if I couldn't he would. A lot of experience was learned at that time." The most exciting thing was that late night show spectators who would applaud. "Actually I might not necessarily be able to see myself on the screen at that time, but I was excited just knowing that I did this stunt." Yuen Biao has known Master Lau Kar Wing since he was a stuntman. Master Lau humbly said, "I know how to fight, but Yuen Biao fights even sharper. If the stunt is a little dangerous, he would still worry and not let me do it."

Speaking of working with Terrance Lau Chun Him in the film COLD WAR 1994 (HONG JING 1994), he praised him as humble and they got along harmonious. As for Lau Chun Him's martial art performance in another film TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN (GAU LUNG SING JAI JI WAI SING), he said, "His performance method is decent, but in terms of action it is lacking something. He still isn't an action actor yet. He is more of an acting school, adding a little of his own action in the future he would be more complete."

"Hong Kong Film Archive Stories: Treasure Hunting for 25 Years" would be held at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum June 3rd to March 29th next year. The exhibition will showcase nearly 1 000 items of treasures of Hong Kong film culture that the HKFA has acquired, restored and preserved over the years, among which more than 100 items are making their debut, to demonstrate the enduring charm of Hong Kong cinema. The artefacts will also serve to look back on the HKFA's efforts in carrying forward Hong Kong's cinematic heritage over the past quarter century.

The exhibition features several photo spots, including an interactive installation, "Galaxy Station", for visitors to take photos with images of movie stars from different eras when they were 25 years of age. Visitors can also take pictures at a poster wall, where classic film posters are mixed with neon light signs of film titles. The exhibition also showcases video messages from filmmakers of different generations congratulating the HKFA for its 25th anniversary. In collaboration with the Hong Kong Public Libraries, the HKFA has curated the "The Bookstore" zone, featuring a selection of the HKFA's previous publications, allowing readers to savor the rich essence of Hong Kong cinema.

Yu Heung Ying secretly joined the production at the end of last month, and partnered with Yuen Wing Yee to start the new film YUK MONG GEI SUN (DESIRE PARASITE). Following the location shooting in Sai Wan earlier, two day ago the team switched to Tai Hang to start work.

Louis Koo Tin Lok (Goo Jai) yesterday at the "Hong Kong Comic Con 2026" finale activities wore a black robe and held a lightsaber like "Palpatine" in the "STAR WARS". With more than 100 role-players he appeared on the same stage, the scene was shocking and brought the three-day event to a perfect end.

When Goo Jai appeared he immediately caused a stir. He even kept wielding the lightsaber and waving. He personally ushered everyone to position for the group photo. As the event ambassador he said that during the three-day event the pavilion was full of a very pure, very strong positive energy and joy. He said that the event was only the beginning, and will continue to create a high-standard animation and comic book stage that belongs to Hong Kong and is facing the international community in the future. He thanked all the teams, collaborators and the audience, and announced the successful conclusion of the first event. "This story is just the beginning, see you next year!"

Goo Jai said in an interview that he has decided to cosplay for his appearance on the spot the night before, but he did not expect that the lightsaber in his hand would suddenly run out of power. He admitted that he had many things to deal with over the past three days, but was glad to see that everyone spontaneously Cosplaying and parading in the venue. The live response was passionate, and he felt very happy. He joked, "My look of course is considered Cosplay, did you think this was pajamas? However the sword is suddenly out of power." He hoped to have the opportunity to cosplay his favorite Darth Vader in the future. Why did he change his plan? Because he had to be interviewed, he could not be sweating all over. He also said that when the audience saw someone dressed like Darth Vader, it might be him. Speaking of the Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism, Rosanna Law Shuk Pui was also very happy to be present, Goo Jai said that he hoped to learn from the experience and do better next year, to be able to hold it in a larger venue, and for the atmosphere to be more like a party. As for the confusion at Korean star Byeon Woo-Seok's meeting, Goo Jai said that he knew and has already arranged for refund. He also said that the staff has already resolved the matter as soon as possible. Some online thought that too little of his collection was on display, he joked, "Why don't I display myself next year? (Did it hurt when others touch your collection?) I would ask them, maybe Spider-Man would respond."

Goo Jai's One Cool Group organized "Hong Kong Comic Con 2026" closed yesterday. In the afternoon he and "BACK TO THE FUTURE"'s mad scientist Christopher Lloyd attended a forum, the topic of which was time travel as they shared the challenges of shooting BACK TO THE PAST (CHUM CHUN GEI) and BACK TO THE FUTURE, and the reasons that the characters remain popular for so many years. Host Erica Chui Wing Kwan asked Koo Tin Lok about how he played a modern person in ancient tmes. Koo Tin Lok said that he did not understand the question and hoped that she would ask again. Chui Wing Kwan froze and said that she was only following the script, then she changed the way she asked and said as a modern person, how would he interpret someone from the ancient times. Then Koo Tin Lok finally understood, but perhaps Chui Wing Kwan was frightened and appeared to be slight nervous after. She also turned "Mr. Koo" into "Boss", but overall her performance was decent.

A Cosplay contest also took place after the forum, as 6 contestants dressed up as characters from the two films. A child dressed up as Hong Siu Lung, but when he appeared he ignored Koo Tin Lok and gave Christopher Lloyd a high five instead. Koo Tin Lok laughed as he called to the child, "I am over here!" The contestant who cosplayed Sin Yau (Joyce Tang Lai Ming's role) said to Koo Tin Lok, "You told me you would give me the rainbow, I believed you for 20 years. Where's the rainbow?" Koo Tin Lok replied, "If I pay any attention to you I'd be crazy!" The contestant pouted and Koo Tin Lok joked, "If a financing company is collecting debts, you would be the top choice." During the group photo, Koo Tin Lok picked up the "mini Hong Siu Lung" and touched his hair.

In addition Korean star Byeon Woo-soek left Hong Kong the day before and many fans were on hand to see him off. A fan tossed a letter to the idol past the bodyguards and almost hit him in the head. Although he was surprised, he remained cool and smiled; even waved to fans from time to time.

Known as the "Thousand Faced Tathagata" of the Beijing opera and Cantonese opera, Master Lau Shun passed away on the 29th at age 87. The news of his death was confirmed by his junior colleague Law Kar Ying through social media. Law Kar Ying was sorry for the death of his brother Lau Shun and was also full of nostalgia. He made a long post to pay tribute to this respected Peking Opera master and an important person who has contributed a lot to the development of Cantonese opera.

Law Kar Ying shared a photo with Lau Shun, and revealed in the eulogy how they met. Law Kar Ying posted, "Today at 6PM, my senior colleague Mr. Lau Shun passed away. Born on the Year of the Rabbit, he was 87 this year. In 1980, when his opera troupe came to perform in Hong Kong Ma Yuqi introduced me to him. In 1982 he and his wife Guo Jinhua settled in Hong Kong. Since then Yau Sing Po, Lee Kei Fung, Lee Bo Ying and I trained with him. 20 or 30 people including my students, Siu Ying and Ngai Hin also trained with him. He was very skilled, his method of teaching was very authentic. I learned a lot and was even able to become a director. Many Cantonese opera stars like Chan Ho Kau, Lee Lung, Lung Koon Tin, Wan Fei Yin, Chan Ka Ming also studied with him, all of whom improved a lot. His contribution to Cantonese Opera was enormous. When his master Li Wanchun came to Hong Kong, he recommended me, Brother Po, Brother Kei to become Li Wanchun's disciples, thus we called him elder brother instead. He directed Liza Wang Ming Chuen's MU GUIYING, the river crossing fight scene was very cheerful. For the operas I constantly performed, he grasped the art, plot, movement for us and raised the entire opera's style, from which I also learned a lot. The artistic achievement transformation of the latter half of my life was all due to Mr. Liu's effort. He also once taught at the Academy of Performing Arts, Hung Mui, Cheng Wing Mui, Sung Hung Bo, Wong Hei Wing all have learned from him. Yet Performing Arts personnel matter became complicated and he left his post. In the past decade his health has not been well and gradually showed signs of aging. He still wholeheartedly instructed Hong Wah, Chan Ka Ming, Kim Lun, Kim Ying, Ng Kwok Wah and others. With his passing, another Beijing Opera master of the older generation is gone. The Hong Kong Cantonese Opera scene has benefitted heavily and would always remember him. Mr. Lau, I am very saddened. I am still thinking about having tea and dining with you. Unfortunately, Heaven didn't give me the opportunity to. May you have a safe journey."
