At this moment, Andy Lau is no longer the glamorous star in front of the camera, he is a son, a son who is grieving the loss of his father. He is surrounded by his family, his wife Zhu Liqian and daughter Liu Xianghui (Hanna). At 2:18 p.m., a family of three reappeared, Andy Lau, wearing a black suit, took his wife and daughter by the hand and walked into the funeral home together. Eleven-year-old Hanna followed her parents and strode across the steps, the mother and daughter dressed in black dresses and hair draped out, revealing self-evident family affection and sorrow.
While waiting for the elevator, Andy Lau seemed to deliberately use the human wall around him to protect his family, trying to avoid the camera of **. But before entering the elevator, he turned to face **, folded his hands, and thanked the media present in a salute, showing the etiquette and respect of Orientals.
