Patrick Tse, the legendary figure of Hong Kong cinema and winner of the Hong Kong Film Award, passed away today (20th) at the age of 89. The news has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry. According to Hong Kong media outlet 'Sing Tao Headlines,' Nicholas Tse, who was holding a concert tour in China, immediately canceled all ongoing work and flew back to Hong Kong to be with his family and arrange his father's funeral.

Earlier, Nicholas Tse issued a statement on his personal Instagram, using a black background with white text to solemnly confirm the passing of his father. In the post, he wrote, 'It is with great sadness that I announce my father, Patrick Tse, has left us.' The message conveyed deep sorrow and profound respect for his father.

Nicholas emotionally recalled how his father dedicated his entire life to the film and entertainment industry, always striving to bring laughter and joy to audiences. He mentioned that although he witnessed his father going through difficult and troubled times during his childhood, whenever his father stepped in front of the camera, he always maintained a perfect demeanor and unwavering professionalism.

Nicholas also shared a key life philosophy that his father often repeated. He quoted his father saying, 'He always said: the show must go on — the performance must continue.' This reflects Patrick Tse's immense passion for the stage and his resilient spirit.

Facing his father's sudden passing, Nicholas earnestly appealed to fans and the public who cherished 'Fourth Brother' not to grieve excessively or shed tears. He expressed that his father was always a carefree and elegant man, and if he saw people crying for him, 'he would think that's not elegant enough.' Nicholas urged everyone to simply remember Patrick Tse as the eternally charming figure with a radiant smile — that, to his father, would be more than enough.
