HK Screen Icons Richard Ng & Michael Chan, Both Plagued By Health Problems, Make Rare Appearance On IG

Richard, who saw his popularity skyrocket with the Lucky Stars series in the ‘80, was diagnosed with renal failure three years ago.

With his kidneys functioning at only 10 per cent, he has to go for peritoneal dialysis four times a day. He previously underwent surgery as he was suffering from cardiovascular embolism, which causes blocked arteries.

He also suffers from severe hearing loss and can only pick up 30 per cent of the sounds around him.

Despite these health woes, and his family troubles, he remains in good spirits.

Michael was one of the top martial arts stars in the '70s, and in the later part of his career, would go on to act in many triad movies like Young And Dangerous 3 and Once Upon a Time in Triad Society. Interestingly, the former police officer was kicked out of the Hongkong police force because of his links to the notorious 14K Triad.

He bowed out of the spotlight in 2019 after being diagnosed with lung cancer, but is now in remission after undergoing treatment.

Although he intended to make his comeback last year, he suffered a stroke which caused mobility issues on one side of his body.

Michael started hiking and exercising to build his stamina back, and is said to be back in the pink of health.
