Wu Yaohan: Second only to Zhou Jingchi, humiliated by two daughters who dealt illegal d.rugs, died of illness

As a famous name in the Hong Kong showbiz world, Wu Yaohan's late afternoon life was not satisfactory when he continuously had health problems. In addition, the arrest of his 2 daughters for drug trafficking also devastated him.

Once second only to Zhou Jingchi

Wu Yaohan, born in 1939, is a famous comedian of Chinese-language showbiz.

According to On, if Zhou Jingchi is the pioneer of comedy, Wu Yaohan is a one-sided, impregnable person with a comedy-horror-action style. If Tinh Gia is honored as the "king of comedy", Wu Yaohan is also named a "master comedian" in the film industry.

In Hong Kong showbiz, he is only inferior to Zhou Jingchi, according to HK01.

The actor was born in an upper-class family. His father was one of the founders of Kowloon Bus and Kowloon Funeral Home. Therefore, Wu Yaohan soon had access to advanced education, at the age of 15 was sent by his family to study abroad in England.

According to the star, he was originally arranged by his father to major in Dentistry. However, after only one year of studying, Wu Yaohan surreptitiously transferred to study Acting at the British Academy of Drama. After graduating, he joined the BBC.

In 1970, after 15 years in England, Wu returned to Hong Kong and pursued acting. His debut leading role in the film Prussian Pants impressed audiences with his natural poke of jokes from the radio to the figure.

After that, he collaborated with Hong Kim Bao and Lam Chanh Anh and created many classics on Hong Kong screen. Wu Yao Han is famous for the films Five Phuc Xing, Gang Thi 3, The School of the King, Huang Fei Hong: The Western Domain of Heroes, Demon Heaven Do Long Ky - Demon Sect Patriarch ...

In particular, the charm of the role of Zi Qi Hou in the comedy series Five Phuc Tinh when cooperating with Hong Kim Bao has made an unforgettable impression in the hearts of the audience.

Although most of them are only assigned supporting roles, but with a face that "looks like laughing", plus an innate sense of humor, Wu Yaohan has not once been overshadowed when acting in doubles with big names.

In his 40-year career, Wu has starred in more than 100 films. He was twice nominated for Best Actor at the Golden Statue and was once one of Hong Kong's highest-paid actors.

According to On, during the heyday of his career from 1979 to 1990, he bought 11 villas with film remuneration. In Hong Kong showbiz, Wu Yaohan is also the first artist to own a million-dollar Rolls Royce.

Not only was he a good actor, he was also a man of business acumen. Since 1980, the veteran star has been investing in real estate and renting for profit. As a result, he owns a huge fortune of up to HKD 3.5 billion.

However, Wu Yaohan was quite secretive, with little boast. The media called him the "underground giant" of the entertainment industry. In his later years, he lived with his wife and children in the remote fishing village of Nam Wai, Sai Kung (Hong Kong).

D.eath from illness, children shame

Wu Yaohan went through two marriages. He first married at the age of 21, but broke down after only 6 months. In 1965, he remarried a British woman named Susan and had four children: three girls and a son. In particular, the only son, Ngo Gia Long, succeeded his father to become an actor.

Before the incident, Wu Yaohan was known as a successful, wealthy actor and a fulfilling and peaceful family life with his wife and children.

In recent years, the star of the film star has deteriorated. He retired from acting in 2015 due to ill health. He suffered from kidney failure and had to undergo dialysis four times a month. According to HK01, his kidney function was only 10%. Despite his advanced age and weakness, Wu Yaohan has no intention of retiring.

On On, he once said he would act until his last breath. In 2020, the actor accepted a cameo role in singer Luong Chieu Phong's MV. "Every year playing such a small role is also a consolation for me," Wu said.

According to HK01, despite his illness, Wu Yaohan never asked for the help of his four children, making himself their burden. Sadly, it is you who are the "debt" of the veteran star.

Wu Yaohan once shared that he left his children free to develop, think and not interfere in their own lives. His four children, however, disappointed him, even suffered humiliation.

Wu Gia Long - the only son of Wu Yaohan, with good looks - followed his father into the entertainment world as a model and actress. However, he only had a lackluster career, without any representative works.

He once stated that he would not accept his father's help, would earn m.oney to support himself and marry on his own terms. However, despite turning 50, Ngo Gia Long is still an unknown name in the entertainment industry and is not married.

In 2021, his two daughters fell into legal action for drug trafficking. Accordingly, Hong Kong customs arrested passengers who brought concealed banned substances into the model package upon entry.

Following the leads, police found 13 medicinal plants, planting equipment and a quantity of banned substances worth HKD one million (about $120,000) in the house in Nam Wai - Sai Kung area. A U60 woman arrested on the spot was identified as Wu Yaohan's eldest daughter.

The media captured footage of the star couple rushing to the scene. Witnessing her eldest daughter wearing a paper box, avoiding the camera lens as she was escorted by the police, Wu Yaohan could only bow helplessly.

Before he could accept the fact that his eldest daughter was part of a drug trafficking ring, three days later, he continued to suffer the s.hock of his youngest daughter being arrested for similar behavior.

Specifically, the police raided Wu Yaohan's own house to search and arrest criminals. Throughout the process, he sat crouched in the corner of the door watching law enforcement work with his daughter.

"Wu Yaohan is destined to suffer for you," HK01 commented.

2 years after his daughter's d.eath, he also died of a violent illness.
