Bosco Wong (黃宗澤) announced on his Weibo today that his father had passed away from lung cancer. His father was 72 years old. Mr. Wong’s death was quite sudden. Although he was diagnosed with lung cancer three years ago, he did recover at one point. However, Mr. Wong suffered a relapse a year ago and was hospitalized in the Union Hospital for a period of time. On Saturday morning, December 12, Mr. Wong was rushed to the Tung Wah Eastern Hospital when he said he wasn’t feeling well. Bosco returned to Hong Kong from Hangzhou the following day to attend the TVB Anniversary Awards, and also visited his hospitalized father. At the award ceremony’s press conference, Bosco received the award for Most Popular TVB Drama Actor in Mainland China, but the K9 Cop <警犬巴打> actor said he wasn’t in the mood to celebrate because of his father’s condition. Sunday, December 13 was also Bosco’s 35th birthday. The actor said his only birthday wish was to see both of his parents healthy. Bosco returned to Hangzhou early Monday morning to shoot the Chinese drama We Are the Best <最好的我們>, but things took another turn when news of his father’s passing struck him on Tuesday. On Tuesday morning, Bosco uploaded a black and white photo of him and his dad. He wrote, “Dad, I’m sorry. I am unfilial. I was unable to accompany you in your final journey. I am unfilial. I am always working and I didn’t spend more time with you. I am unfilial. I promised you that we would go on a trip together, but that never happened. Dad, I love you. I hope that you will stay happy and healthy in another world. You will always live in my heart. We will be father and son again in our next life!” According to a source, Bosco will stay in Hangzhou for ten more days before returning to Hong Kong for his father’s memorial arrangements. In a phone interview, Bosco’s mother said, “Bosco’s father passed away this morning! I visited him before dawn, and although he already couldn’t speak, he was not completely numb. Our biggest regret is that Bosco could not be there for him in his final moment. Bosco is his only son.” His mother expressed that Bosco and his father had maintained a close relationship through the years. Bosco spent a lot of money and time to look for the best treatment for his father. “But there are many things that we cannot control,” Bosco’s mother continued. “Although Bosco wasn’t with him when he passed, Bosco did get the chance to see him before he left Hong Kong. At the time, Bosco already knew his father was dying, so he was mentally prepared for this news.” Creds: ihktv
