79-year-old Adam Cheng breaks silence on recent condition, reassures fans and explains reason for staying out of the public eye

(Hong Kong, 24th) Veteran actor Adam Cheng, affectionately known as “Chow Koon,” has kept a low profile in recent years after stepping away from the spotlight. Having not made public appearances for quite some time, some netizens speculated whether his absence was linked to the tragic loss of his daughter a few years ago.

On his lunar birthday today (24th), Cheng broke his silence to update fans on his current life and reassure them of his well-being.

A message signed “Brother Chow” was recently posted on a Weibo account named “Chow Koon Art Museum Fresh Network,” widely believed to have been written by Cheng himself.

In the post, he shared: “Thank you all for your blessings and concern. Since retiring, I have slowed down my pace of life, staying active with exercise and spending time on things I enjoy. I’ve never been fond of social engagements, so you don’t see me often—there’s no need to worry. Over the past six months, there have been many unfortunate events in both the world and Hong Kong. I wish everyone happiness, good health, and peace in the world.”

His remarks are believed to reference recent incidents such as the Tai Po Hong Fuk Estate fire, as well as ongoing global concerns surrounding the situation in Iran.
