According to Hong Kong media reports, Zeng Jiang recently traveled to Malaysia and Singapore. After returning to Hong Kong on April 25, he stayed at the Kowloon Hotel for isolation. On April 26, he tested negative for the new coronavirus, and his body was normal. But at noon on April 27, hotel staff found him in a coma. When police and ambulance crews arrived, he had died, but the cause of death was unknown.
Zeng Jiang also posted a video on Douyin on the 18th, saying that he went to Malaysia alone. In the film, he is wearing a white T-shirt and sunglasses. Although he has white hair and a thin figure, he looks good and energetic. He wrote below the video: “When I have time, I shoot and do what I like. I like new things. I like to walk around and taste delicious food.”
According to reports, the last time Zeng Jiang contacted his daughter was on the evening of April 26. At that time, he did not say that he had any physical discomfort. He did not expect to die suddenly on the 27th.
Zeng Jiang is the uncle of Hong Kong artist Wang Xinping. Wang Xinping said after the news of his death that he was very stunned. She sent a message of condolences: “Dear uncle, you are so dashing, we will miss you forever.”
On April 5, Wang Xinping’s actor father Wang Yucai just passed away. Wang Xinping lost two relatives within a month, which is very sad.
