A few months ago, Chinese actor Gordon Liu was spotted looking very frail and haggard in public. The 65-year-old, who is known for his many classic martial arts flicks as well as his roles in both Kill Bill films, was left partially paralysed and wheelchair-bound after suffering a stroke and a head injury 10 years ago.
To make things worse, his ex-wife and children started to pressure him for money while his former assistant refused to return HK$1.8mil (S$309,000) worth of his assets. Fortunately, his friend, Hongkong actress Amy Fan, managed to help recover his belongings and has continued to take care of him ever since.
