Patrick Tse Dies at 89; Cecilia Cheung Arranges Grandson's Return for Final Farewell

Veteran Hong Kong actor Patrick Tse, widely known as "Brother Si," has died at the age of 89 after a battle with pneumonia. His passing was reported on July 20th, with funeral and cremation services held on July 16th, following his wishes for a simple ceremony.

Upon learning of Tse's deteriorating health, his former daughter-in-law, actress Cecilia Cheung, immediately arranged for their eldest grandson, Lucas, to fly back from Australia. Lucas was reportedly by his grandfather's side to bid him farewell, fulfilling Tse's final wish to be surrounded by his beloved grandson.

“

I really like his whole family, especially, as I always say, I love my daughter-in-law dearly. At the very least, she gave birth to two grandsons for us, and no amount of material wealth can compare to two grandsons.

Despite their divorce, Tse maintained a warm relationship with Cheung, often praising her as a mother. He once stated, "I really like his whole family, especially, as I always say, I love my daughter-in-law dearly. At the very least, she gave birth to two grandsons for us, and no amount of material wealth can compare to two grandsons."

Reports suggest Tse intended to leave 90% of his estate to his two grandsons, Lucas and Quintus, with Cheung managing the assets. The remaining 10% was reportedly designated for his children, Nicholas Tse and Jennifer Tse. While these inheritance details remain unconfirmed, they underscore Tse's deep affection for his grandchildren. Tse also expressed regret, feeling he had let down Cheung and the boys.

I feel I have let them all down.
