The daughter of actor Tse Yin after the shock of losing her father

Hanoi [Vietnam], August 12: Nearly a month has passed since actor Tse Yin's death, and his daughter, Tse Ting-ting, has rarely shared her thoughts on her father's passing. She said that saying goodbye to her father was the most difficult thing in her life.
August 9th marked the 90th birthday of the late artist Tse Yin . On her personal Instagram, Tse Ting-ting shared a series of memorable moments with her father from her childhood to adulthood, to commemorate this special milestone. She also rarely shared about the passing of the Hong Kong screen legend after helping her family with funeral arrangements and stabilizing their lives after the loss.
Tạ Đình Đình sent a message to her late father: "Happy birthday, Dad. I miss you so much, I really, really miss you. we all miss you terribly. Saying goodbye to you was the hardest thing I've ever experienced in my life." The actress hopes her father is now happy and free. She also jokingly mentioned Tạ Hiền's fondness for sunglasses: "And I believe that wherever you are, that place must be so bright and beautiful that wearing sunglasses all the time is perfectly normal." She concluded her message: "Thank you, Dad, for being my father, for contributing so much to making me who I am today. Rest in peace. I love you. Forever." According to HK01 , before actor Tse Yin passed away on July 16th, Tse Ting-ting rushed back to Hong Kong to see her father one last time, and together with her mother - former Miss Hong Kong Deborah Lai - and her brother - Tse Ting-feng - handled the funeral arrangements. After everything was settled, she quietly returned home to Canada to take care of her young child.
Meanwhile, Nicholas Tse also quickly returned to work and had his first performance in Qingdao (China) at the end of July. In his announcement about his father's passing, the artist shared that his father, Tse Yin, was always dedicated to his profession and devoted to art while he was alive, and often reminded him, "The show must go on." Continuing to perform after the family tragedy is also seen as his way of fulfilling his father's wish.
Born in 1982, Tse Ting-ting is the second child of actor Tse Yin and former Miss Hong Kong Deborah Lai. She moved to Canada with her family and graduated from university there. Tse Ting-ting returned to Hong Kong in the mid-2000s, focusing on modeling and acting. The actress has appeared in many films, including *Bruce Lee* (2010), *Ghost Lovers*, *Sexy Killer*, and *European Conquest*. However, she hasn't achieved the same success as her older brother, Tse Ting-feng.
In recent years, Ta Dinh Dinh has stopped acting and moved to Canada to live and work. In 2019, she revealed her newborn daughter on social media but kept the father's identity and marital status private. She is currently living happily with her foreign husband. The couple welcomed a son last year.
