Recently, a report emerged alleging that some fans of Gordon were selling T-shirts with his picture printed on them to raise funds for his nursing home expenses, raising concerns about his financial situation.

Amy has since come forward to clarify that it is all just a misunderstanding. She explained that while there is indeed a group of fans who sells the items, their earnings are used to buy snacks for Gordon as a simple gesture of goodwill.

The group also shared about their project on their Facebook page, saying that they hope to one day “generate a steady income for Gordon” through sales of the T-shirt.

When asked if Gordon's having any difficulties paying his hospitalisation fees, Amy said that there was no problem at all. “Don’t worry, I have been taking care of him for eight years. He is undergoing a very stable rehabilitation period now," she said.

In fact, Gordon is apparently recovering so well, he is now a lot more energetic and has even gained a bit of weight, which can be seen in the selfie that was sent to Apple Daily (see below). Definitely a welcomed far cry from how he looked in that earlier shot.

Amy also revealed that Gordon was conferred a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Copenhagen Asian Film Festival for his contribution to the performing arts. The organisers had wanted to travel to Hongkong to personally present the trophy to him but couldn’t do so ‘cos of the COVID-19 pandemic, so they sent it to Amy and asked her to pass it to him instead.

However, she could only share the good news with Gordon through a video call as the virus situation in Hongkong has made her unable to visit him in person.

“He smiled and shook his head, wondering why they would give him an award, but he is actually very happy,” Amy said. “I would also like to add that the nursing home staff have been very kind to him and chat with him every day to relieve his boredom, but as long as he has his TV, he is very happy.”
