Alex Fong's Dream of Showing Off His Abs at the Hong Kong Coliseum Dashed Because His Daughter Had a Fever? Wife Maple Yip Plants Kisses on Little Isla's Cheeks from Both Sides

When it comes to Alex Fong (Siu Fong), besides remembering him as the "Flying Fish Prince," people also think of his classic Cantopop hits. Lately, however, the hottest topic surrounding him has been his plan to "show off his abs" at the Hong Kong Coliseum. You heard that right. The Hong Kong Coliseum and showing off abs – two things you never thought you'd associate with Alex Fong. He was originally slated to be one of the celebrity guests showing off their hard-earned muscles at a major fitness event called "Water Fight" tonight (the 11th) at the Coliseum. But then, out of the blue, it was cancelled, dashing the hopes of fans who were eager to see him take his shirt off.

Sudden Cancellation of Coliseum "Water Fight": Was His Daughter the Reason?

The name "Water Fight" was a playful hint at a water-based, muscle-baring battle, so the last-minute cancellation sparked a flurry of rumours. Some blamed technical issues, while others spun wild tales involving shady backgrounds or even cults, making it sound incredibly dramatic. But what's the real story? Actually, it's quite simple, and very "Alex Fong." As a father famously devoted to his daughter in the entertainment circle, the event happened to coincide with his precious little one feeling unwell and running a fever. How could this dad even think about showing off his muscles? His priority was, of course, his daughter, staying by her side 24/7. Word has it that when Alex got the news of the cancellation, he was unaware of all the crazy rumours swirling around. His only thought was to quickly wrap up his work so he could get home and hug his little girl. It's amazing, isn't it? The evolution from the "Flying Fish Prince" to today's "Doting Dad" is an unexpected but heartwarming transformation.

A Devoted Dad and Loving Husband: Showering Their Daughter with Kisses

Although we missed the chance to see Alex's physique at the Coliseum, a recently circulated video online shows off another kind of "muscle" – his heart for family! It showed him and his wife, Maple Yip, out with their daughter. The couple couldn't resist planting kisses on their little girl's cheeks from both sides, creating a scene so sweet and adorable it would make anyone watching say "aww." Maple especially was planting big, smacking kisses on her daughter's cheeks, just showering her with love. Alex, ever the loving husband, naturally joined in to enjoy the family bliss. This incredibly warm and touching scene is far more captivating than any amount of muscle he could ever build, radiating a genuine sense of happiness that truly resonates.

Seeing him so dedicated as a father and a husband, you've got to hand it to him: he's really winning at life. It's also a reminder of how he always used to say "family comes first." Back then it was just words, but now he's demonstrating it for everyone to see through his actions. As a fan who's followed him from the start of his career until now, it really makes me happy for him.

From "Seven Years" to "New + Best Selection": Alex Fong's Music Accompanied Hong Kong's Growth

Speaking of Alex, beyond his family life and this recent Coliseum muscle-showing buzz, his music is what truly accompanied many Hongkongers as they grew up. From his early days acting alongside Alex Fong Chung Sun (the actor he often gets mistaken for, haha) to focusing on his music career, his songs really captured the feelings of countless young people.

Especially that duet with Stephy Tang, "Seven Years" – need we say more? As soon as that intro plays, memories of your entire adolescence come flooding back. From "A Good Deed Gets Rewarded" to "A Time for Love," and then this song "Seven Years" – they were the essential karaoke soundtrack for both confessions and breakups back in the day. Even now, as working adults, occasionally hearing "Seven Years (feat. Alex Fong)" makes you pause for a second and reflect on those youthful days. So, just like his films, Alex's songs have long held a special place in the hearts of Hong Kong audiences and music fans.

• "In Your Vicinity" – A massive hit that even won awards.
• "ABC君" – Another quintessential "backup friend" anthem, voicing the feelings of so many.
• "Sweet After Bitter" – A philosophical love song that still resonates today.

Although the album "Alex Fong New + Best Selection" came out many years ago, the songs on it are still regulars on many people's playlists. Now, seeing him evolve from the young guy back then into the gentle husband and father he is today, occasionally making headlines for "showing off his muscles" or his "fatherly love," you can't help but sigh: time really flies. But whether it's singing, acting, or being a husband and father, he always gives it his all. That dedicated professionalism is what truly deserves a big like from all of us.
