Hong Huifang & Her Kids Wrote Super Sweet Tributes To Zheng Geping After His Ascension To All-Time Favourite Artiste Status

Huifang started the ball rolling with a very touching post that illustrated Geping's rise from the bottom.

“From the day we got married to after we had kids, you’ve always worked your hardest so that the family never had to worry [about not having enough]," she wrote. "You were once at a loss at what to do in your career, but you weren’t discouraged, nor did you give up. You were always filled with positivity and often said, ‘There are no absolutes in life, and there’s nothing that’s out of reach’.”

She also talked about the happiness they felt when Geping first cracked the Top 10.

“In order to improve yourself, you humbly sought advice from industry veterans, worked hard and took things one step at a time. Heaven didn’t ignore your hard work and you won your first Best Actor trophy in 2007, which was so exciting! When you were 45, you got your first Top 10 Most Popular Male Artiste Award, and that was incredible. At the time, we wondered if it was possible for you to get all 10 trophies at your age."

Huifang then ended her post by reliving, in words, her husband's moment of glory.

"You spent 12 years burying yourself in work, silently working hard towards your goal while always spreading positivity. No words can describe how I felt when I saw you stand on stage receiving your final award on Apr 18, 2021. You turned the impossible into reality. Thank you for bringing glory to our family, instilling confidence and giving hope to so many people. My darling husband is the best.”

ZGP's kid Tay Ying, 25, and Calvert Tay, 21, also shared their thoughts on their dad's career milestone.

“34 years of literal blood, sweat and tears (…) I don’t think many people know how much of a hard worker and fighter you are, and how much you have sacrificed to get to where you are," wrote Tay Ying.

On his IG, Calvert said: “You have always supported us in all the things we do and never rejected any of our opinions. You truly deserve only the best and I could not ask for a better father than you. For all those who don’t know, my father works day and night, giving his all and never complains, all while showering his family with love without fail.”
