On July 15, Sohu newspaper reported that veteran actor Ngo Bac Quan passed away at the age of 69 after a long battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

His wife shared: “He returned to heaven peacefully. We chose to send him off gently, because his last years were very difficult.”

Ngo Bac Quan was diagnosed with ALS in 2018 after suddenly losing his mobility. Since then, the actor has been confined to a wheelchair, unable to function independently and almost completely withdrawn from the art world. In the last years of his life, he was cared for by his wife, who also suffered from mild paralysis.

The difficult life of Ngo Bac Quan and his wife:

Ngo Bac Quan's funeral took place privately on July 14, according to the Youyadong charity organization - the unit that had repeatedly called for donations to help him overcome economic difficulties. They said: "Before he passed away, he said he did not want to bother anyone. Now everything has been arranged, thank you for the love and help that everyone gave him."

Previously, many artists such as Andy Lau, Nicholas Tse... had quietly provided financial support to help Ngo Bac Quan cover his hospital bills. He was moved to tears when receiving gifts and words of encouragement via video from the donors.

*During his treatment, he was visited by many charities and colleagues.*

Ngo Bac Quan joined TVB in the 1970s and made his mark through a series of films such as Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils (1982), Legend of the Condor Heroes (1983), Little Flying Dagger, Detective Files ... Although he often took on supporting roles, especially villains or eccentric characters, he was still loved by the audience thanks to his charming and natural acting.

In 1997, Ngo Bac Quan's career took a turn when TVB terminated his contract due to the Asian financial crisis. Since then, he has had to live a difficult life, doing many manual jobs such as keeping a shop, selling dumplings, cleaning offices... to make a living.
