TVB Actor Dominic Ho Pays Heartfelt Tribute to His Wife: “She Left Peacefully, Without Pain”

On November 29, while entertainment gossip dominated weekend hot searches, a quiet black-and-white notice gently appeared in a corner of social media. TVB actor Dominic Ho (Hai Junjie) used just a few simple words to share a devastating truth: “She left peacefully and without pain. In her final moments, her closest loved ones were by her side.” His wife, professional makeup artist Moka Tze (Mo Jiazi), passed away due to acute liver failure at 3:30 p.m. on November 27, 2025. She was only 39 years old.

Just weeks before this heartbreaking moment, Dominic had been fighting a desperate battle alongside her. In late October, Moka was diagnosed with acute liver failure. She spent 20 difficult days holding on at Hong Kong’s Queen Mary Hospital. As her condition rapidly worsened, the final hope rested on a liver transplant in Guangzhou’s First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University—but a staggering HKD 1.5 million in medical costs formed a harsh barrier between life and death.

In early November, Dominic released a video choking back tears as he pleaded for help. For an actor known on-screen for portraying strong, stoic characters, this raw vulnerability was shattering. Yet humanity responded with warmth—Louis Koo, Aaron Kwok, Eric Tsang and other industry friends stepped forward, while countless strangers donated generously. In just 36 hours, donations poured in like a river of compassion, miraculously reaching the required amount.

But reality proved harsher than any drama. The financial hurdle was overcome—but two greater obstacles remained unsolved: a compatible donor liver never appeared in time, and Moka’s health indicators never rose to a level where the surgery could safely be performed. In the face of unyielding medical data, every effort and every hope felt tragically powerless.

When fundraising began, Dominic promised full transparency, including publicly disclosing medical expenses and returning unused donations. His integrity during a period of crisis revealed a sincere and responsible side of the couple—often hidden behind the public perception of celebrity life. Now, these commitments—like the hopeful plan to “return to Hong Kong to recover after the procedure”—will remain forever unfinished.

Their shared journey began in 2012, when a chance encounter led to a new chapter in both their lives. After five years of love, they married in 2017. Known in the industry as a meticulous and humble makeup artist, Moka was respected for her professionalism. And in earlier interviews, Dominic spoke of her as “the best home for my heart”—words that carry even deeper poignancy now.

To colleagues, she was a trusted collaborator. To her husband, she was an irreplaceable pillar of strength. Yet in the prime of her life, acute liver failure carried her away with heartbreaking swiftness. Messages of condolence flooded social platforms—some mourned a woman who fought tirelessly for life, others worried for a grieving husband left behind, and many simply reflected on life’s fragility, whispering wishes that “there is no pain in heaven.”

This 36-hour relay of compassion showed how kindness from strangers can transform into a powerful force of love, and how in moments stripped of fame and glamour, what remains is genuine human connection. Even though the ending could not be changed, the honesty, courage, and love shown in this journey may be the greatest tribute to Moka’s memory—because though people must part, love never truly leaves.
