Those in Taiwan who want a piece of Alien Huang’s wardrobe while helping to contribute to a good cause at the same time will be able to do so this weekend.
The late star’s family will be holding a charity sale on October 3 to sell his clothes, shoes, accessories, and other belongings, and all proceeds will be donated to a special fund for the Taipei Veterans General Hospital’s polycystic kidney disease research group.
Alien’s younger sister Huang Ting Ting made the announcement on her Instagram page yesterday (Sep 28) with all the necessary details. Since items are limited, only 10 people will be allowed into the venue for 10 minutes at a time, and each person can only purchase one item. Customers are also required to bring their own shopping bags and, of course, wear masks and undergo disinfection ‘cos we are still living in a pandemic.
If anyone’s wondering why a kidney disease research group was selected to benefit from the sale, it turns out that Alien discovered he had a family history of kidney disease during a health checkup eight years ago.
Some doctors have even pointed out that his sudden death could be due to a fatal combination of congenital polycystic kidney disease, elastic fibre abnormalities, and high blood pressure, which led to the aortic dissection — the tearing of the main artery that carries blood away from the heart — that killed him.
