Late actor Patrick Tse’s ashes have been placed at Hong Kong’s Po Fook Hill columbarium, which also houses the ashes of late celebrities such as actress-host Lydia Sum, singer-actor Leslie Cheung and singer Roman Tam.
Tse, popularly known as Sei Gor or Fourth Brother, died at the age of 89 on July 16.
Hong Kong’s TVB Entertainment News reported on Aug 10 that Tse’s memorial tablet is inscribed with his real name Tse Ka Yuk, his years of birth and death, and his ancestral home in Panyu in China’s Guangdong province.
The portrait on the niche shows Tse with a smile while wearing his signature sunglasses.
Tse had two children – singer-actor Nicholas, 45, and model-actress Jennifer, 43, – with his second wife, Hong Kong actress Deborah Lee, 74, whom he divorced in 1995. He was previously married to Taiwanese actress Chen Chen, 78, for three years before their divorce in 1977.
Tse’s family honoured his wishes for a low-key funeral and held a private ceremony before his cremation. His death was announced by his family after he was cremated on July 20. – The Straits Times/ANN
