  "account": "HONG KONG: On the first anniversary of her father Benz Hui's death, Charmaine Hui shared an emotional tribute to her late actor father. Benz, whose real name was Hui Shiu-hung, passed away at the age of 76 on October 28, 2025, from organ failure caused by cancer. The 29-year-old actress took to Instagram to honor her father's memory, reflecting on the reality of his absence. Charmaine recounted a conversation with her mother Angeli Lung, who admitted that it still feels like her husband had gone away for filming. She remembered joking about the long periods her mother spent away, leading to a poignant moment when she saw an outfit she thought resembled her late father. Upon buying the garment, Charmaine realized the cruel reality of his passing. During a recent work trip to South Korea, she bought the outfit, only to soberly realize it had been so long since she last saw him. Despite facing an uncertain future, Charmaine promised to honor the lessons her father taught her. In remembrance of the late actor, an AI-generated video of Benz was shared on his Instagram account by his goddaughter, digital creator Leti Liu. Foon Hei Gor, Benz's famous role in Line Walker, enjoyed a career spanning over five decades, appearing in numerous iconic TVB dramas and films.",
