Aaron Kwok Turns 55, Finally Gets To Celebrate Birthday With His Family

Yesterday (Oct 26), Aaron, who has COVID-19 to thank for this lull in his usually back-breaking work schedule, posted a photo with his wife Moka Fang and their two daughters, Chantelle, three, and Charlotte, one, along with an emotional note to his fans. “Every year on October 26, I receive blessings from my family, colleagues, friends and fans from all over the world. I always feel thankful and consider myself very blessed because of all the well-wishes,” he wrote.

“In the past, I would always be at work on my birthday, and I never celebrated with a big party. This year, I just finished filming my movie and could take a short break from work on my birthday,” Aaron shared. “I had a small celebration with my colleagues and my family because of safe distancing rules. It was a simple party. On this day, I also saw fans from all over the world upload videos of them singing the birthday song for me, having hotpot parties in my honour, and editing videos to congratulate me. It’s almost as if I was there with them receiving their blessings, and I was very touched.”

He continued, “As a performer, it’s a great blessing to have the support of my fans. I will work even harder on every project that I participate in as my way of conveying my gratitude (…) I’m also thankful to my family for bringing me happiness. I gain strength from my colleagues, energy from my fans, and love from my family (…) I was very happy on my birthday.”

Fans were most delighted to see a photo of Aaron's family together, as the star rarely posts photos of his two daughters. The pic, which showed the three women in his life giving him a kiss, quickly went viral online. One netizen wrote: “Nasty rumours about his wife aside, I really think that this family is doing exceptionally well, especially given the intense attention that they’ve had to deal with. Internet trolls should really leave them alone.”

Now wouldn't that be the best birthday gift?
