Tian Qiwen Wu Lida
Veteran actor Wu Mengda has made great contributions to the entertainment industry. He died of liver cancer 27 days ago last month at the age of 71. During Dago’s illness in the hospital, Tian Qiwen (the chicken) paid attention to the whole process of condolences, and also communicated with Dago’s family on behalf of the media. The chicken also assisted the widow in handling Dago’s funeral affairs. He appeared at the Hung Hom World Funeral Home at 3 pm today, and at about 5 pm, the chicken accompanied Dago’s brother Wu Li to the door for a media interview. Wu Lida said: "I’m not used to facing the media. I hope I have something wrong to say when I arrive. Don’t take offense. Thank you to the media for your love and attention to my brother for so many years.
Regarding Zhou Xingchi’s visit to mourn, Wu Lida said: "Lord Xing and Brother Da have always been very close, my brother has said this, he said that he and Lord Xing have always been very close, everyone I know is like this." Asked about Lord Xing’s performance at the funeral hall, Wu Lida revealed: "I think everyone who goes in is very unhappy and sad."
The following is the full text of the interview:
Wu Lida: What I want to say is that I am proud of my brother, his care for the family, his filial piety to his parents, his care for his brothers, and his good friends… all praise him, so I, as a family member, thank you very much.
Reporter: Did mom come?
Wu Lida: Mom didn’t come today
Reporter: Did your son and daughter come?
Wu Lida: My son and daughter are here.
Tian Qiwen: But not all of them came. Because of the isolation problem, they couldn’t all come. They all had things to do.
Wu Lida: Some people who are overseas are not so easy to come to Hong Kong.
Reporter: Lord Xing just went in, did he tell you anything?
Wu Lida: There must be some general condolences. It can be said that Xing Ye is actually very friends with Da Ge, and has always been very friends. My brother has talked about these things, and he said that Xing Ye has always been very friends. Everyone, that’s all I know.
Reporter: Have you heard any false reports?
Wu Lida: It is mainly said that he has economic problems and divides the family property. In fact, his brother has already allocated it in the morning.
Reporter: Do you have any last words?
Wu Lida: He didn’t talk about these things in particular. In fact, he was also very sudden. We accompanied him in the hospital for a long time.
In fact, he was very optimistic and always thought that he would come out. But this matter, many people did not expect it to be so fast, friends, many people did not expect him to go so fast.
Reporter: The cause of death was liver cancer?
Wu Lida: You can say that, cancer.
Reporter: Did Da Ge have any worries during his lifetime?
Wu Lida: In fact, he is mainly a family, mommy, he is very filial.
Reporter: Did mom know about this news?
Wu Lida: In fact, she went to see him. I asked Da a few times if it was okay to bring his mother to see you? He said no, he didn’t want to see his mother sad, and he looked so hard. In fact, I really saw him for more than a month, and I thought he was very hard, because I didn’t want to see such a situation. On the last day, I informed us that there was nothing we could do. I must take my mother to see him, because as a filial person like him, he couldn’t see his mother for the last time. For him, I think it must be a pity.
Reporter: How to arrange Dago’s ashes?
Wu Lida: This is what he mentioned to me in the hospital. In fact, it was one of his wishes. He said that he would go back to Malaysia to accompany his wife and children.
Reporter: Have you found a good place yet?
Wu Lida: I think they will make another arrangement for this, because I am not very familiar with Malaysia.
Reporter: What about work?
Wu Lida: He is very enthusiastic about his work, and he will be very excited when he talks about his work.
Reporter: I heard that he is going to film three plays in the mainland.
Wu Lida: I don’t know about this. (Tian Qiwen: There are more than three movies, and there are many to pick up.) He has a lot of people looking for him to shoot. He has been in trouble for a while because of his health. In fact, during this time, he went back to the mainland to pay off the debt of favor.
Reporter: Will Lord Xing be a little excited and unhappy when he goes in?
Wu Lida: I think everyone who entered was very unhappy and sad.
Reporter: Did Master Xing see Brother Da for the last time inside?
Wu Lida: Star didn’t seem to have it just now. (Tian Qiwen: No) Sorry, I can’t take care of so many things.
