Known as "Benz Hung", famous artist Hui Siu Hung was suddenly reported as critically ill and admitted to the ICU yesterday afternoon; his condition was unknown. Many friends after visiting the hospital kept their silence. As his goddaughter, Charmaine Sheh Sze Man hurried back to Hong Kong to visit after attending the event in Macau. She was even more tearful in the interview, while Raymond Lam Fung and Ron Ng Cheuk Hei hoped that he would make great strides.

Veteran actor Hui Siu Hung, who would celebrate his 77th birthday on the 4th of next month, has been in the industry for more than 50 years. He has participated in many classic works including THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY and THE FINAL COMBAT. Cheerful and positive, he has quite a connection with people in the business. Semi-retired on recent years, he has settled in Singapore with his family. While living a carefree life he often guest starred for the joy of acting. He even teamed up with his daughter Hui Wai Ching to shared everyday life videos. In the recent Mid Autumn Festival he even had dinner with Law Lok Lam and Chan Bo Yee to celebrate the holiday and at the time he was in decent shape. Last week, he teamed with his daughter to play video games. Yet yesterday afternoon the sudden news of his critical illness came, shocking the entire entertainment industry as many friends visited after catching wind of it.

Artists who have a personal relationship with Hui Siu Hung, including Raymond Lam Fung, Ron Ng Cheuk Hei, Bosco Wong Chung Chak, Bobby Auyeung Chun Wah, Roger Kwok Chun On, Priscilla Wong Chui Yu and her husband, Sharon Chan Man Chi, Benjamin Yuen Wai Ho, Mak Cheung Ching, etc., have appeared at the Sanatorium and Hospital since yesterday afternoon, attracting a large number of media coverage. Everyone was quiet about Hui Siu Hung's condition and looked solemn. Working with Hui Siu Hung on the dramas YOU'RE HIRED, LINE WALKER, THE HEIR TO THE THRONE, THEMIS, etc., Sheh Sze Man's relationship with him is like father and daughter and they are already godfather and goddaughter, but Ah Sheh had to appear in Macau yesterday to attend the event because she had already taken the job. During the interview she got teary eyed, tried to hold the tears back as she turned away to wipe them.

Ah Sheh said frankly, "Actually I have always known about it, because I am dealing with this matter. I went to visit him, and he is fighting hard. (What's wrong with him?) I will save this for his family to say. (When you worked on the drama THEMIS a month ago, what was his physical condition?) OK, he still had a lot of dialogue and he was able to memorize them all. (When did you know he was ill?) I will save this for his family to say. I was going to fly to Beijing, but now I decided to go back to Hong Kong and go to the hospital first." At nearly 7 p.m., Ah Sheh finally arrived at the hospital and rushed in without saying a word.

Raymond Lam Fung and Ron Ng Cheuk Hei left together after staying in the hospital for about half an hour. Lam Fung put his hands together to the reporter waiting outside the door and did not respond much, while Ng Cheuk Hei after boarding his vehicle gave two thumbs up and screamed, "God Bless". Fung So Bo revealed, "He is wearing an oxygen mask. (What did you tell him?) He heard me talking." When Emily Kwan Bo Wai appeared to visit the patient, she said, "I have known Hui Siu Hung for more than 30 years. The last time I saw him was more than a year ago, and I don't know his current physical condition; so I have to come to visit him."

When Joyce Tung Lai Ming attended the event yesterday afternoon, she said, "I was so nervous when I heard the news (Hui Siu Hung's critical illness) that I got goosebumps. I am very worried about him. He is a great senior with a playful personality and generosity, and he takes good care of his juniors. I don't know what's wrong with him, I usually see him very cheerful and healthy. I have never seen him drink, and he often exercises with her daughter." However, as early as June, Hui Siu Hung and his daughter returned to their ancestral home "Hui Land" in Guangzhou for photos. Some online noticed that he was panting when walking on the flat road, and they were very worried about his health.

"Benz Hung" Hui Siu Hung shocked the entertainment circle with the news of his critical illness. Hui Siu Hung was born into a prominent family that was known as the "first family in modern Guangzhou" in the mainland. His ancestor was the top of Guangzhou's Four Great Salt Merchants Hui Bai Ting.

The best known was his great aunt Hui Kwong Ping, the companion of modern Chinese writer Lu Xun. His childhood toys were all sachets, jade ruyi, etc., which showed that the family had a deep heritage.

Hui Siu Hung settled in Hong Kong with his family in 1958. In 1971 he applied for the TVB Artist Training Class and became a student of the first TVB's artist training class.

In the movie RUNNING OUT OF THE TIME (UM JIN), he played the law enforcement officer "Wong Kai Fat", in which he shouted to the bandits through a loudspeaker: "I am Wong Kai Fat, Chief Inspector of the Serious Crime Unit. You are already surrounded, you have three minutes to surrender!" This classic dialogue is still remembered by fans to this day, and Hui Siu Hung was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 19th Hong Kong Film Awards in 2000, becoming the only Hong Kong Film Awards nomination in his acting career.
