Since suffering a stroke and entering a nursing home, martial arts star, Gordon Liu’s (劉家輝) wife and children from his second marriage allegedly have been eyeing his assets. In an interview yesterday, Gordon stated that he did not wish to see his two children, hinting at a family filled with tension and strife. Since Gordon’s children, Kris and Sonia, were turned away at the nursing home on three occasions while trying to see their father, they claimed that Gordon has been manipulated into severing his family ties. Kris and Sonia felt that their father was easily influenced since his mind was unclear after suffering from a stroke. As the Liu family’s scandal continued to escalate, Gordon accepted an interview with the Hong Kong media yesterday. The 57-year-old wished to prove with his actions that his mind was clear, stating that it was his personal wish to not see his own children. Gordon hoped that his assets will be properly protected by the law. Gordon’s Children Pressured Him to Transfer Assets In an interview with Next Magazine, Gordon acknowledged that his children, Kris and Sonia, were after his assets. Despite his stroke, Gordon still had to pay money to take care of his children. Asked whether he wished that his son, who was in his twenties, would take care of him instead, Gordon nodded his head and said, “Yes!” An insider revealed, “While Gordon was still living in the Prince district this March, his wife and two children asked him to transfer his assets to them on a daily basis. There is still a chance that Gordon will recover and he wished to reserve some money for living costs. Why was it necessary to split his assets so quickly?” The insider hinted that Gordon’s health condition was neglected. “For several weeks, his family did not take him to the hospital for followup visits. What is their motive? Gordon wanted to see the doctor because he wished to recover. Although he is paralyzed, his mind is clear. Realizing that his family is pressuring him, he continued to buy time, until someone can help him! Finally, Gordon’s elder sister from the United States and his friends helped him escape!” Gordon’s second wife, who is currently in Thailand, indicated earlier that she wished to transfer him there so she can take care of him. Gordon stated that he did not wish to go to Thailand, while refraining to comment further on the state of their relationship. Severing Ties With Two Children Although severing ties with his wife and children from his second marriage, Gordon has remained in touch with his other family relatives and friends. Gordon’s friends from the entertainment industry, Eric Tsang (曾志偉) and Bryan Leung (梁家仁), have visited Gordon at the nursing home and are currently trying to help him with his medical bills. Gordon Liu is currently undergoing physical therapy for partial paralysis of the right side of his body since last year’s stroke. Creds: Ming Pao
