This year's 58-year-old king Aaron Kwok, after becoming famous, has been living in the mansion of Tai Hang Road on Hong Kong Island Jia Yuen. This is a single-style mansion, 30 years old, 1 ladder and 3 households, the whole building has only 16 units, and the privacy is very high. In recent years, in order to alleviate the burden of his wife taking care of his two daughters, Aaron Kwok rented a low-rise flat in Jiayuan for his father-in-law and mother-in-law to live in and help take care of his granddaughter.

The traffic of the castle is very convenient, so some mainland netizens also go to its gate to check in during their visit to Hong Kong, and it has become a tourist attraction. However, some netizens disliked the dilapidated appearance of the castle, but some people said that the mansion cannot be evaluated only by its appearance. In fact, the interior of the mansion is not only large, but also has an unobstructed view of Victoria Harbour.

The ancestral house of the Guo family built by Aaron Kwok's grandfather is located in Shilong Town, Dongguan. Because this building is a first-class period building, it has a history of more than 100 years, and has been listed as a cultural protection unit, which can neither be demolished nor modified, so it retains the layout of its predecessors.

Aaron Kwok's ancestral home is located at 17 Zhongshan Middle Road, surrounded by rows of old houses. It is reported that the building was built by Aaron Kwok's grandfather Kwok Chung Shing, and although the exterior walls and ceiling have peeling marks, the chic chandeliers and fine paintings on the first floor of the arcade are still preserved. At that time, these decorations were very luxurious, because Grandpa Guo opened a gold shop in this building and lived in the lower bunk. However, at present, the area is already ageing,** and many residents have moved to the new community.

According to the neighbor who lives opposite, this building was once rented out to others, and later the city ** took it back for conservation, and he has not seen Aaron Kwok; On the contrary, I have seen Yuan Yuyi and Wang Zulan here, and they are all from Dongguan. Aaron Kwok fans come over almost every day, and it's very lively! In addition, because Grandpa Guo's gold shop business was impressive, it was also mentioned in the local Shilong Museum, and the bills of his gold shop were displayed as exhibits.

Since his grandfather's generation began to engage in the gold industry, Aaron Kwok's father and brother also inherited the family business. In 2018, after 34 years in the industry, Aaron Kwok received his first gold store advertisement. At that time, he recalled that his father opened a gold shop in his early years, and he would help out in the shop every Saturday, and his first job was in a gold shop. However, in 1990, a very unfortunate incident happened, Aaron Kwok's second brother Kwok Fukan, who opened a gold shop in North Point, was robbed of his shop and shot to death by thieves.
