On the 16th (local time), foreign media outlet China Times reported that Chui Siu-keung died of esophageal cancer earlier this month. They added that his wife passed away from a heart attack due to exhaustion and grief while arranging his funeral. She was 43 years old. It has been confirmed that their children are currently handling the funeral and related matters.
Chui had been divorced twice before. After settling in Beijing, he met his wife, who was 30 years younger, and they married in 2005, starting a new chapter in life. He leaves behind two sons and two daughters.
Many are expressing condolences and continuing to pay tribute to the family, who have suddenly lost both parents. One of the daughters expressed her gratitude during an interview for the concern shown towards the bereaved family and shared that everyone is taking time to properly hold the funeral.
Starting his career in 1970, Chui appeared in a variety of works. His notable film includes Bastard Swordsman.
Meanwhile, esophageal cancer mainly occurs in men in their 60s. It is known to be closely related to alcohol and tobacco use. Treatment methods generally include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
To prevent esophageal cancer, it is important to limit alcohol intake, quit smoking, and maintain a balanced diet. Avoiding charred foods and nitrate-rich processed meats such as ham and sausages is also recommended.
