Famous action actor Mang Hoi passed away from esophageal cancer on the 9th at age 65. Yesterday his family held a wake at the Tai Wai Po Fook Memorial Hall. After the funeral this morning, the remains would be transported to the Fu Shan crematorium for cremation. The service was Buddhist and the hall decorations were simple and clean. Mang Hoi's friends including Eric Tsang Chi Wai, Chin Kar Lok, Chin Siu Ho, Ken Low Wai Kwong, Au Shui Wai, Mat Yeung Ming, and Ching Tung came to pay their respect. Sammo Hung Kam Bo, Jacke Chan, Yuen Biao, Ken Low Wai Kwong, Chiu Wing Hung, Andrew Lau Wai Keung, Chun Chau Chinese Opera School and the Hong Kong Stuntman Association all sent floral arrangements. The pallbearers would be Chin Yuet Sun, Stephen Tung Wai Wai, Daniel Lee Yan Kong, Ken Low Wai Kwong, Chin Kar Lok, Chan Chi Leung, Ching Tung, Mat Yeung Ming.

Chin Kar Lok said that he knew Mang Hoi for over 40 years. He truly watched him grow up. "The most unforgettable was following a group of elder colleagues like Lam Ching Ying, Yuen Biao, Yuen Wah and others, leading me so I wouldn't go down the wrong path. When I transitioned from stuntman to actor, thanks to Mang Hoi's help whenever he has a job he would save me a spot. When he was making a movie in Taiwan he asked me to play the lead." Chin Kar Lok remembered the most when Bruce Lee's son Brandon Lee Kwok Ho starred in the film THE LEGACY OF RAGE, Mang Hoi asked him to take part as well. Although he never had the chance to meet Bruce Lee, he was very honored to have worked with Bruce Lee's son. Kar Lok also said that after learning about Mang Hoi's cancer, the brothers who went through life and death with him often visited him, talked about their past production experience. Mang Hoi also became spirited, always confident that he would be able to recover and keep making action films that he liked.

In addition, Mang Hoi's niece Mang Hei Lui revealed that her aunt's tears have yet to stop. Her cousin has been very independent. She herself missed him too, and gave special thanks to Tsang Chi Wai and Chin Kar Lok for their help. As soon as they knew about Uncle's issue, they immediately put up the money and effort to find doctors and experts to help. While at the hospital they often visited with other brothers. She deeply believed that Mang Hoi in the final stage of life was happy, a group of good friends kept him company and reduced his pain.
