Retired Hong Kong actor Lo Hoi Pang has opened up about his family and the realities of living alone in his later years.

The 84-year-old recently shared a touching reunion with his nephew, television and radio host Jun Yu, who travelled from mainland China to Hong Kong to spend time with him.

During their gathering, Jun Yu showed Lo a childhood photo of him with his two brothers, bringing back memories of a time when his family was still complete.

The sight of the old photograph left the former actor emotional as he reflected on the loved ones he has lost over the years.

"My eldest sister-in-law and eldest brother are both gone. My younger brother is gone too.

"When I return home, there's no one there anymore. All my immediate family members are gone," he said.

Lo added that there were once five people in his family, including himself.

"Now, I'm the only one left… In the end, the one left behind is Ah Pang," he said.

For the record, Lo has faced health struggles in recent years.

The G Storm star previously revealed that he had lost sight in his right eye due to long-term diabetes complications, which led to glaucoma. He said the condition was irreversible.

Despite his health issues, Lo remains positive and continues to meet friends occasionally.

Reports also said he stopped filming as he struggled to see his mobile phone and scripts clearly.

Lo attended TVB's training classes in 1973 and graduated a year later with stars like Chow Yun Fat and the late Ng Man Tat.

He's best known for his performance in the 2011 movie Life Without Principle, for which he won a Hong Kong Film Award for Best Supporting Actor.
