1st September 2026 – (Hong Kong) Hong Kong martial arts star Michael Chan Wai‑man, 82, shared a rare glimpse of domestic warmth as he celebrated his wife Ng Kwok‑ying’s birthday with a giant longevity peach bun and affectionate kisses, publicly thanking her for years of devoted care during his illnesses. The veteran, famed for tough‑guy roles, has in recent years contended with a stroke and diagnoses of lung and brain cancer, and underwent hip surgery in 2024; he now often uses a walking aid. In a short video posted to his social media, the couple sat closely together, broke pieces from the oversized peach bun and fed each other while friends offered blessings, before Chan wrote a simple message wishing his wife a happy birthday.
The scene followed Chan’s own 82nd birthday earlier this year, when he and Ng again appeared together. The pair, who have three children, formalised their union in 2020 after decades together, a decision Chan has said was made to give Ng an official status and ensure she is looked after. Their display of affection struck a chord with fans, who noted the contrast between Chan’s formidable on‑screen persona and his gratitude‑filled tenderness at home.
