It has been confirmed that Hong Kong martial arts film star Norman Chui Siu-keung, also known as Seo So-kang, has died.

The 73-year-old actor passed away earlier this month due to esophageal cancer. His wife, who was 30 years younger, tragically died from a heart attack due to fatigue and sorrow while attending his funeral. She was 43 years old.

As reported by the Shanghai Daily on September 16, Seo So-kang had sought treatment for his illness before his death. His wife passed away from her heart condition during the funeral.

Before marrying the movie star in 2005 and leaving for Beijing, Seo So-kang had gone through two divorces. The couple had two boys and two girls. After this devastating tragedy, their children are responsible for the funeral and related events. One of the daughters was quoted in an interview as saying, "Thank you for all the condolences. For a few days, we will be mourning and begin proper funeral arrangements."

Seo So-kang began acting in 1970 and appeared in over a hundred films. One of his most famous films is Bastard Swordsman.

Esophageal cancer is common in men over 60 and alcohol consumption and tobacco use are the causes.

The American Cancer Society stressed that one way people can prevent the occurrence of the disease is to control how much alcohol they consume, stop smoking, and stay on a well-balanced diet.

Fans and fellow entertainment industry friends offer profound condolences to Seo So-kang and his wives' families.
