  • Taiwanese actor Fu Tzu-chun died at age 46 from acute leukemia.
  • He was known for his tough on-screen persona but was a devoted husband privately.
  • His unfulfilled wish was to hold a wedding banquet for his wife after eight years of marriage.

Taiwanese actor Fu Tzu-chun, known for his leading roles on MinTV, has died at the age of 46 following complications from acute leukemia. He passed away after emergency treatment at Tamsui Mackay Hospital. Fu Tzu-chun often portrayed a strong, tough character on screen. However, in his private life, he was a devoted husband. He married his non-celebrity partner, Ms. Li, in 2018 after seven years of dating. Despite their stable and sweet relationship, the couple, who shared a pragmatic nature and strong chemistry, had not held a formal wedding banquet. This unfulfilled wish became a poignant regret for Fu. He had once humorously remarked at a friend's wedding last year, "If a woman wants a wedding banquet and you can't even do that, you're really not a man." This statement, made in a lighthearted moment, reflected a deep-seated apology and affection for his wife, whom he had always intended to give a grand celebration. Fu and his wife had recently enjoyed a holiday in Okinawa and Bali before his condition took a sudden turn. The actor experienced a sudden decline in health after returning to Taiwan, leading to his untimely death. His family is currently handling the arrangements amidst their profound grief.

If a woman wants a wedding banquet and you can't even do that, you're really not a man.
