Ha Kwok Wing (formerly known as Gregory Charles Rivers), the actor known as the "royal foreigner" for his unique foreign face in TVB, unfortunately ended his life by burning charcoal in a village house in Sai Kung, Hong Kong at around 10 p.m. on February 2 at the age of 58.
The tragic news shook the entire Hong Kong community, and Ha Kwok-wing, one of the most recognizable faces in Hong Kong, had signed contracts with TVB and the Shaw Brothers and appeared in about 300 TV series.

TVB's official release commemorates Ha Kunok Young's **.
River Kwok Wing, a man who grew up in Australia, has two younger sisters. He studied medicine at the University of New South Wales in Australia, and met an international student from Hong Kong in his third year, which was his first exposure to Hong Kong's popular **, especially the **works of Leslie Cheung**. In 1987, when Leslie Cheung held a ** meeting in Australia, River Guorong managed to become Leslie Cheung's exclusive driver in Australia in order to get closer to his idol.
In 1988, he decided to immigrate to Hong Kong in search of more opportunities to get closer to Leslie Cheung. After arriving in Hong Kong, he briefly worked as an English teacher at a business school and began learning Cantonese. However, he was forced to leave Hong Kong a few months later because he was on a tourist visa. He returned to Hong Kong after a short trip to Taiwan, just at a time when TVB was looking for expatriates who could speak Cantonese. Under the recommendation of a friend, Ha Guorong was able to meet Zeng Lizhen, and thus got the opportunity to become a TVB special actor. In August 1988, he officially signed a contract with TVB and became a basic contract actor.
In his acting career in TVB, Ha Guorong has participated in many dramas, including but not limited to "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" and the TV movie "SWAT 90". His acting career is not limited to the TV screen, between 2002 and 2003, he also played Teresa Teng's boyfriend Ah Paul in the stage play "I Wish People Were Long".
Ha Kwok Wing's image of the European and American race has led him to play the roles of the British**, the Hong Kong Police Force**, etc., in many Hong Kong TV dramas and movies, leaving a deep impression on the audience. In his career, he has played many roles related to European and American races.
Actors Ren Dahua and Ha Guorong have crossed paths in the recent film "Edge Walker". After learning the news of Ha Guorong's death, Ren Dahua expressed great shock and exclaimed "Oh, my God". Although they were not very familiar with each other, Ha Guorong made a deep impression on him. Yam recalled that Ho Kwok Wing had an optimistic personality and spoke Cantonese very authentically, almost like a native of Hong Kong. He was very shocked and saddened by the tragic death of Ha Kwok Wing, believing that Hong Kong had lost a wonderful actor.
The death of Ha Kwok Wing is an immeasurable loss for the Hong Kong entertainment industry. With his unique acting style, whether it is a male or female role, he is able to interpret it deeply and bring the character to life. His departure means that we will never again be able to witness him switch genders and show different faces on stage with such ease.
Although he is no longer with us, his spirit and the works of art he left behind will forever be etched in our hearts. Whether it is in commercials, movies or TV series, every time we see him, we will be reminded of the river Guorong who has brought us endless joy and touch. May he find peace in heaven and that his name and the moments of his time on earth will be remembered forever.
