The passing of one of Hong Kong (China) film and television legends Ta Hien recently has caused topics related to his career, life and family to be of public interest.
According to sources in the industry, Ta Hien's will also attracted attention when there was information that he left 90% of his inheritance to 2 grandchildren, Lucas and Quintus - children of Nicholas Tse and his ex-wife Cecilia Cheung; the inheritance will be managed by Cecilia Cheung on her behalf.
This information quickly caused public uproar. However, what moved many people more was the remorse that Ta Hien had repeatedly mentioned during her lifetime, which was the divorce of Ta Dinh Phong's son.
The life of Ta Hien - Ta Dinh Phong father and son seems to be a repetition of fate. Both entered the entertainment industry when they were young and both soon went through broken marriages.
Ta Hien is known as the most elegant actor in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Besides his successful career, he has gone through many relationships, including a broken marriage with former Miss Hong Kong (China) Dich Ba Lap.
His son - singer and actor Ta Dinh Phong - married actress Truong Ba Chi in 2006, and divorced in 2011. Truong Ba Chi takes care of the couple's two sons.
In an interview, Ta Hien's eyes were red and he choked up and said: "Dinh Phong will eventually follow my path. Is it possible that heaven is somewhat unfair to me?
He admitted: "I myself have also been divorced, so every time I think about this, I shed tears," and said that this is the biggest concern in his life.
What makes Ta Hien heartbroken is not because his son has followed in his footsteps, but because he understands too well how arduous and painful that path is. In his heart, there is only helplessness and regret.
At the age of 87, when asked again about the divorce of Nicholas Tse and Cecilia Cheung, Nicholas Tse was still red-eyed and choked up many times. In his voice was unconcealed sorrow and regret.
In front of the camera, every time reporters mentioned this, he could not hide his sad eyes and said he had many sleepless nights because of it.
Ta Hien's attitude towards his ex-daughter-in-law Truong Ba Chi also surprised many people. He repeatedly praised her as understanding, obedient and once said: "I love my daughter-in-law very much".
He affirmed that he had no problems with his ex-daughter-in-law. Ta Hien also expressed sympathy when Truong Ba Chi raised her 2 sons alone, and thanked her for educating her 2 grandchildren very well so that they would be obedient and study well.
In his later years, Ta Hien seemed to have given his own answer through a will. He once said that no matter how much wealth he had, it was not as precious as his two grandchildren.
The will is not only a love and message for the two children, but also considered a recognition of Truong Ba Chi's sacrifices and efforts over the years.
When Ta Hien became seriously ill, there was information that Truong Ba Chi quickly arranged for her eldest son Lucas, who was studying abroad in Australia, to return to Hong Kong (China) from mid-July, to be with his grandfather in his last days.
