RIP Huang Wen Yong da ge... 一路好走。 We will always remember you!

Huang Wen Yong is a nominee for tomorrow's Star Awards 2013 红星大奖 2013 - Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes Nominees. Sadly he can't be there. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=440833186001833

BREAKING: Huang has just passed away in hospital earlier today on 20th April 2013. Huang was previously subject to a death hoax earlier in the month, claiming that he had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. There was public concern after Huang appeared visibly haggard during the 30th Anniversary Drama Show. He clarified that he had been suffering from stomach flu, and had not recovered fully due to a hectic schedule and irregular meal times.

Huang joined the SBC's drama training class in the 1980s and has appeared in numerous dramas and sitcoms. He is perhaps best known by his own generation for his appearance in The Awakening in which he played love interest to Xiang Yun's character and The Seletar Robbery during the 1980s. More recently, he is remembered for starring alongside Chew Chor Meng the long-running popular series Don't Worry, Be Happy (1996-2002) and its spin-off Lobang King.

Huang was been nominated for the Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes every single year in the annual Star Awards since its inception in 1994

Rahimah Ramli I dun read Chinese but I guess this is a tribute to the late Mr Huang. I have been a fan watching drama serial during my school days in the 80s. Ah Shui and Ah Mei was a perfect couple. In Army Days I cried hard when the sergeant character died. Now it is for real. RIP.

(I also don't read chinese, and I cannot find Google Translator too!!)

悼文永
文永，30多年的战友，要写他，点点滴滴,能记得多少？
我们从青年，壮年到黄金年代一路走来，面对着不同阶段的人生，事业和健康的挑战。
之财常形容我的＂象一头牛那样会吃苦＂，那文永就像牛和雄狮的结合。他不只很会会吃苦，还很固执的坚守岗位。
许多农历新年的时段，大家忙着拿假回家庆祝，但是只要公司开口要求他留下开工，他从不拒绝。看他忙完这个戏，就接下个任务，马不停蹄，年复一年的苦干。
文永性格老实憨厚，正直，画画唱歌都是他的擅长。对于弱势者会特别的照顾。
在我眼中的他是一个孝子，好丈夫，好父亲。在与他共事这些年里，虽然他不提，但我也知道他在不同阶段曾为母亲离世前的病重担忧，承受失去母亲的悲痛，妻子患病时的忧虑，以及为孩子们成长的操心，我只能默默给他打气。
＂雾锁南洋＂是我和文永在演艺圈的一个转折点。文永很用心，很卖力的演，许多危险动作都自己来，病了也继续拍，很敬业。而我却是糊里糊涂的跟着演。
那部戏消耗了我们许多体力和连续开早晚班的睡眠时间，但是那时我们还年轻，有本钱.
之后他就一部接一部的拍下去。看到文永工作时一丝不苟，及与导演配合的专业态度，我从中学习了许多，尤其是他原本是教师的背景，对他是又敬又畏，后来一起工作久了熟悉了，从他天天说不完的笑话中感觉轻松多了，慢慢的无所不谈，但还是不敢在他面前放肆，到现在还是一样。所以他是我亦师亦友。
到拍摄新年歌mtv时，听到同事说文永暴瘦10公斤的消息时，赶紧给他一个电话问候，他说不知原因，还在想要不要带家人去台湾度假？我鼓励他一定要去，一家人出游是最开心的事，别担心工作了。
在＂戏剧情牵30年＂那天总算看到他了，相信我那一愣认不出消瘦了的他的那个惊讶表情是伤了他，他紧握我的手，小声说：这次不太乐观！我马上阻止他胡思乱想。当晚我侧夜难眠，发了个信息给他，要他一定要去找出病因。之后因不敢打扰他，久不久才发个短信慰问他，要他加油！他也回复我，要我好好照顾自己。但在新年后的简讯他就没回复了，我心里开始着急，后来得知他在医院的那段日子，我几次想探望他的要求都被拒绝了。我了解，因为我也是艺人，希望大家都留下美好的印象，而不是被病魔摧残了的病容，我也知道他明白我的心意。
近年来我很健忘，许多记忆都常常需要文永来提我，他走了，记忆忘了就忘了，人生还是要往前走，看看身边的同伴，不是每个都会与你同行到老，有些会先告别，也许有一天。。这就是人生。
文永60年的岁月是精彩的，他照亮自己，也照亮大家，让每个认识他的人都快乐。
永别了！我的挚友。你真的很风光！
