On April 4, Wan Kwok-hung shared a video from a family gathering in Macau, in which Wan Kuok-koi made an appearance—effectively addressing recent rumors about his situation.

The footage shows a private family meal followed by a visit to ancestral graves, indicating that the trip was primarily for personal purposes.

Now 71 years old, Wan’s current lifestyle appears notably different from his earlier years. A recent birthday celebration for his mother was described as modest, contrasting with the large-scale gatherings he was once associated with.

Historically, Wan Kuok-koi was a prominent figure in Macau, often portrayed in the media with strong and controversial labels. He was known for his high-profile actions, including investing in a film based on his own life, Casino, which drew significant attention.

In 1999, he was sentenced in connection with criminal cases and was later released in 2012. Since then, his public presence has shifted toward business activities and occasional cultural or charitable involvement.

Recent appearances suggest a more subdued and stable phase of life. Over time, his past identity has gradually receded from public focus, replaced by a quieter and more restrained lifestyle.
