Veteran actor Wong Chak-fung and his wife, Cally Chan Lai-lai, hosted a star-studded 100-day banquet for their second daughter, Huang Hei-kiu (dubbed “Little Noble Consort”), in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, last evening (November 23). The celebratory event drew approximately 40 tables of family and close friends, including a remarkable attendance by numerous figures from the entertainment industry, undersizing the infant’s entry into the public eye.
Martial Arts Brotherhood Celebrated Newborn Milestone
The grand dinner was a rare convergence of industry heavyweights, notably featuring veteran star Hu Fung (also known as Uncle Fung), actor Raymond Wong Ho-yin, Deng Siu-tsun, Snow Suen, and Scarlet Wong. The occasion marked a joyous milestone for the couple, who welcomed their second child while already raising an older daughter.
Hu Fung, known for his decades-long career, humorously commented on the bustling nature of the night, suggesting his social calendar was busier than his filming schedule. He explained he had three simultaneous engagements, requiring him to depart shortly after offering his congratulations and a quick glimpse of the newborn.
When asked if he would consider becoming the baby’s godfather, the cinema legend dismissed the suggestion with a laugh. “That’s preposterous!” Hu Fung stated. “If I were to take on that role, she would technically become my great-granddaughter’s generation. My direct descendants are far older than her, so that idea is simply not in the cards.”
Actors Share Training Updates and Family Life
Among the well-wishers was actor Raymond Wong Ho-yin, who arrived before commencing his work schedule to congratulate his longtime martial arts senior and fellow student under Sifu Sin Ho-ying. Wong Ho-yin affectionately referred to the father as “formidable.”
The actor shared a brief, sweaty encounter with the newborn. “It has been a long time since I held a baby,” he admitted, noting that a single hug had worked up a sweat. This physical exertion led to a reflective moment regarding his own family plans.
Wong Ho-yin firmly ruled out expanding his family further to try for a daughter. “Let’s not get into that kind of thing. It would literally take my life,” he quipped, referencing the demands of parenthood at an older age. While his wife would enjoy having a daughter to dress up, he expressed contentment with his two sons, adding that they understood he would not consider another child. “They know I won’t; I am too old to handle it now.”
In addition to family matters, Wong Ho-yin provided an update on his preparations for a demanding fundraising hiking challenge. He revealed he has received significant backing and training support from international superstar Chow Yun-fat.
“Brother Fat expressed a desire to accompany me across the finish line, but due to scheduling, it wasn’t possible,” Wong Ho-yin shared. Instead, Chow Yun-fat arranged a special training session for him and his teammates, walking (and sometimes running) the exact route as a practice run. Following the arduous practice hike, the acting legend treated them to lunch and offered financial support through his running club’s foundation, underscoring the strong camaraderie within the Hong Kong entertainment community.
The successful celebration emphasized the close ties and supportive relationships that define Hong Kong’s entertainment industry, showcasing both professional commitment and deeply personal celebrations of family milestones. The event was a testament to the enduring careers and continued relevance of the seasoned stars involved.
