Biography
Tong Hok Tak was born in Shanghai, China in 1959. He was childhood friends with the late Hong Kong singer Leslie Cheung. He is the seventh of eight children in his family, with four older brothers, two older sisters, and one younger sister. He graduated from St. Francis Xavier's School, Tsuen Wan. After completing secondary school, he entered the banking industry. On December 2, 1982, he reunited with Leslie Cheung at the Regent Hotel in Hong Kong, and over the years, they developed into loving partners. At the time, Leslie’s career was still struggling, and Tong provided financial and emotional support during times of hardship.
In 1997, Leslie publicly referred to both Tong and his mother as “beloved friends and family” during a concert. After Leslie’s death in 2003, Tong kept his ashes at home and took over his properties and finances as a “widower.”[1]
On March 30, 2013, Tong attended the "Continued Love – 10th Anniversary" Leslie Cheung memorial exhibition.[2]
