Everything About HK Veteran Actor Savio Tsang & His Death at Age 58

Hong Kong veteran actor Savio Tsang has passed away on Saturday (14 November).

He was 58 at the time.

Having been diagnosed with lung cancer earlier this year, his condition worsened and he was sent to Tseung Kwan O Hospital on 10 November. He fell to the disease four days later.

According to Lianhe Zaobao, the actor has also struggled with pulmonary immunity disorders since last October, and was purportedly taking medications.

Due to the illness and a bout of weight loss, Tsang was not seen in public eye since some 9 months ago in February.

Former Hong Kong actress Candy Man has since paid tribute to the late actor, writing a particularly heart-wrenching line on social media platform Facebook.

“The last time we met, didn’t we say we wanted to work together again?” she said.

Meanwhile, his god-sister Sasa, who is believed to have been taking care of him, has yet to respond to reports.

This was a notion confirmed by Hong Kong producer Mui Sui-ching, in an interview with Hong Kong media outlets prior to Savio’s death.

“I hope he’s fine. I’m not sure what’s going on. I’ve called his god-sister Sasa but she did not pick up my calls.”

Mui’s sister Cutie Mui was previously in a relationship with the late actor, but they called it quits due to the latter’s alleged infidelity. Despite that, the younger sister has stayed on good terms with Savio.

The older sister has since expressed her regret over Savio’s death.

“It’s such a pity,” said Cutie.

“Savio indeed occupied the most important chapter of my life. There is no denying that. I am also very grateful to have met him in my life. He is a person with a lot of love and a very professional actor. I hope his family and friends will get some relief and take care.”

A Man Of Many Works

The ex-TVB actor acted in his first production back in 1982, opposite co-star Candy Man.

He would go on to make appearances in a multitude of films, with his last one being Line Walker: Bull Fight (使徒行者3), which premiered recently.

In 2019, the late actor starred in the TV drama Finding Her Voice (牛下女高音), where he played the role of a security guard called Hei Zai (黑仔).

Even then, he reportedly had to ask for a lighter workload, due to his deteriorating condition.

According to 38jiejie, the late actor was highly fond of dogs, and often volunteered at shelters.

Apparently, he has fostered over 10 dogs, and even owned 5 at one point in time.

Rest in peace, Savio Tsang.

You’ll be missed.
