Retired Star Chun Wong Lives with Lover Who is 30 Years His Junior
Veteran host Chun Wong (秦煌) officially ended his 44-years long career with TVB after experiencing health issues due to his weight. Now suffering from back pains that require him to be in a wheelchair, the 75-years reveals that he is estranged from his family for many years and lives in Shenzhen with his lover.
Living with a Lover
Chun Wong reveals that he moved to Shenzhen 21 years ago but he didn’t file a divorce at that time for the sake of his children. Chun Wong later met his lover and couldn’t help but compliment her. Chun Wong shares that he thinks mainland women have different personalities compared to Hong Kong women as mainland women do not ask if they have money or assets at the first opportunity.
Chun Wong continues that he was in his 50’s and his lover was in her 20s when they first met. Due to the age gap, Chun Wong had asked his lover to leave but she wouldn’t.
After mentioning that he gave money to his lover to buy a house in her hometown in Hunan, Chun Wong also blurts out his friend’s Lee Lung Kei’s (李龍基) relationship secret: When Lee Lung Kei bought a 1,300 square-foot property in Futian for 800,000 Chinese yuan, Chun Wong went to visit. Chun Wong knew Lee Lung Kei’s girlfriend was also much younger but he later found out that the girlfriend is not the same person as his current fiancé!
Reasons for Being Estranged
Sharing details of his estranged family, Chun Wong admits that his relationship with his three sons and one daughter have been good and bad. As his children now have their own family, Wong Chun will not rely on them even if his finances are barely enough.
When asked about the reason that he is estranged from his family, Chung Wong admits that he made mistakes in his communication and thought that he could entrust his late wife and former DJ Mo Peiwen (莫佩雯)to take care of the family. When his children were young, Chun Wong thought that it was enough to use material objects to satisfy them and he didn’t care too much about their lives.
The veteran host also admits that he and his late-wife didn’t really know each other when they got married and they only finally understood each other after they separated. He realizes that his late-wife had many grievances with him during her lifetime.

This was really depressing to read.
I…just can’t. What do 50 years old men have in common with 20 something year olds? It’s obviously a transactional relationship, but mainland women are much better at hiding it. Not saying some women don’t have a preference for much older men, like Grace Chan, but unless economically everyone is on similar playing field, the chances of this being real love is slim.
I am at the cynical point in my life where I don’t think real love matters as long as everyone is satisfied with the relationship. Yes, I hope for real life, but lifetime love is rare because compatibility changes over time and different stages of life. But for him to be estranged from his children is quite sad.
I also made the mistake of searching up his friend because I couldn’t remember him. Well, as long as everyone is happy, I will put away my dropped jaw.
His views sound outdated, which isn’t surprising, but again, it shatters a childhood bubble for me. Not knowing is much better.
Don’t know if his children did have a “regular” family life or if he was spending his time with his girlfriend and only occasionally cosplaying a father role when his children were growing up. Blatant selfishness and rubbish if it was the latter to normalize everything under the excuse of “for the sake of the children”.
Someone shared once with me what she saw before her retirement working with very wealthy men. She commented that the behaviour and mindset of these Mainland young females in pleasing the wealthy seniors even in public, openly “idolizing” them, openly feeding them was an eye opener and something that local girls would never be able to meet the standards.
I have heard personally a few mothers of young girls in China who tell their daughter the importance of pleasing men and look for men with money. Teaching them money is more important in life… I was
seriously surprised when I heard it.
I was there on holiday…
Can you elaborate on the time you heard it. Was it casually said as a joke or the mother sounded serious? That sounds outrageous to tell your children to depend on other people, what level headed parent would tell their children that.
It was not joking…it was a serious lesson…The few mothers are from Countryside… They are farmers. I was there on farm trip. Over heard it on different days from different mothers. I was told it is normal by my tour guide. I guess those mothers must feel that is the only way out for their daughters.
City and Country living are different…their mindsets are different too.
