Ex-TVB star Lee Lung Kei, 74, embraces 38YO fiancee upon her release from prison
Hong Kong actor Lee Lung Kei is overjoyed by the release of his 38-year-old fiancee Chris Wong from prison on Monday (July 7).
Wong, a Chinese national whose real name is Wang Qingxia, was sentenced to jail by the Shatin Magistrates' Court in June 2024 after pleading guilty to five charges related to overstaying in Hong Kong and forging university certificates to obtain entry permit.
She was deported upon her release and entered mainland China via the Shenzhen Bay Immigration Control Point.
According to Hong Kong media, Lee, 74, arrived at the immigration hall at 2pm with a bouquet of pink roses in hand.
After an hour of waiting, Wong finally appeared, prompting Lee to joyfully call out 'Wife!' before rushing to embrace her.
When approached by reporters, Wong stayed silent and hid behind Lee.
However, the former TVB star was all smiles as he shared: 'I'm very happy. I've been waiting for a long time. I'll see what she would like to eat and take her out for a meal. I'll make sure she looks beautiful.'
Lee, best known for his role as the Jade Emperor in the 1996 drama Journey To The West and its 1998 sequel, had consistently shown support for Wong, even after her arrest.
Throughout her time behind bars, the actor wrote her letters every one to two weeks to keep her spirits up.
In a previous interview, Lee shared his hopes of marrying Wong and leading a quiet, simple life together after her release – away from the gossip that has followed their romance since they went public in 2020.
He reportedly purchased a gold bracelet earlier this year in preparation for their wedding, which is expected to take place sometime this month.

Barcelona star Yamal probed over dwarf entertainers at birthday
BARCELONA star Lamine Yamal is under investigation following complaints about the hiring of dwarf entertainers at his 18th birthday celebration. Spain's Ministry of Social Rights confirmed the probe after a complaint from the Association for People with Achondroplasia and Other Skeletal Dysplasias with Dwarfism (ADEE). The private event took place in Olivella, 50 kilometres west of Barcelona, attended by teammates and music stars like Bizarrap and Bad Gyal. ADEE condemned the hiring as reinforcing stereotypes and discrimination against people with disabilities. A performer anonymously told Catalan radio station RAC1 that they were treated respectfully and enjoyed their work. 'No one disrespected us, we were allowed to work in peace,' they said. The entertainer criticised ADEE for not offering alternative employment opportunities while restricting their work. Dominican rapper Chimbala, who performed at the party, shared a video with Yamal on Instagram, praising the footballer. Yamal, a Ballon d'Or contender, has yet to comment on the controversy. – AFP
