40 Years of Brotherhood: A Tale of Trust, Laughter, and Ever‑Present Friendship
Who’s in the story?
In the bustling film scene of Hong Kong, two seasoned actors—Michael Miu (62) and Felix Wong (59)—have quietly kept each other company for four decades. Their bond is more than silver screen camaraderie; it’s the kind of secret “bro code” you hear about at family gatherings.
How the drama unfolded on stage
The pair graced a recent episode of the reality show Bong Bong, Amigo on November 15th, where Felix opened up about a painful chapter: the passing of his wife, former actress Leung Kit Wah, earlier that year. And guess what? He wasn’t alone.
Michael’s “silent” support
- He stayed close during the weeks after the funeral, offering a shoulder that didn’t require a “I’m sorry” sticker.
- Felix’s daughter, Adrian, mentioned that Michael would often come by just to chat—no agenda, just a listening ear.
- And nothing’s more tangible than a spirit tablet in Hong Kong customs; Michael found one for Leung, making the arrangements feel like personal care rather than a corporate task.
Words that carry warmth and humor
Felix said, “As real brothers, you don’t need to say a lot. It’s all about being there when you’re down. That’s something money can’t buy.” This sentiment echoed through the air of the show. Michael echoed that feeling, adding with a jovial grin, “Don’t worry, I’ll always be by your side.” They nudged each other’s shoulders— a polite handshake of lifelong support.
Why this matters
Twenty‑twenty years of friendship in a trimmed‑down spotlight show that behind the glitter, there’s a crew of genuine allies. In a world where fame often feels lonely, Michael and Felix remind us that real brothers are a priceless, picnic‑shack‑sized treasure.
Felix’s terrible temper
Inside the Wild World of TVB’s Five Tigers
When you think of the 1980s Hong Kong TV scene, you likely picture the Five Tigers – the elite squad of TVB that included Michael, Felix, Kent, Andy, and Tony. Their camaraderie was legendary, and now, behind the camera, they’ve shared some downright hilarious moments from their younger days.
The Flock That Couldn’t Stay Calm
- Michael’s Complaints: He confessed that Felix had the temper of a flaming dragon – especially after a few drinks. “He was quick to raise his voice and, let’s be honest, almost had a habit of hitting people if they popped his bubble!” Michael warned, “and that’s why you never want to sit in front of him on a Friday night.”
- Felix’s Self‑Reflection: Once known as “Spitfire Hua”, Felix laughed, “I was always in a battle of words with Eric Tsang and Natalis Chan. The negotiators? We’d turn a chill session into a full‑blown brawl. And yes, we’re still the only ones who think we might actually break a few hearts while talking.”
- Group Dynamics: With Kent Tong, Andy Lau, and Tony Leung Chiu Wai in the mix, the group’s nights evolved into a ri‑and‑re‑ir cocktail‑party of epic proportions. They put an enormous amount of time together in that raw, youthful phase – each laugh, every fight, every love story left traces in the city’s skyline.
Lessons From Their Legendary Lounge Hours
What started as a dream‑team dynamic eventually grew into a close‑linked routine of humorous reunion stories. The tales of their “spicy” temper tantrums and the ever‑present sense of humor underscore that the 80s was a time when we learned to live, laugh, and sometimes fight for a scarf of friendship.

Retro‑Rundown: Two TVB Stars and Their Shorts That Made the Headlines
Checkered Chic on Camera
When you spot those matching, speck‑filled outfits popping on the show, it’s no surprise that they vibe on the same fashion wavelength.
The Short‑Story (Literally)
- Back in the Academy – While training at TVB’s artiste school, both boys came in the easiest of outfits: sports shorts that were strictly tight and short, not the oversized, baggy banana‑style you see on the streets now.
- Street‑Market Swagger – “We came from low‑income families, even though the academy sits in uptown Kowloon Tong,” Michael chuckled. “We’d show up in shorts sourced from street stalls, not from the high‑end boutiques.”
- Principal’s Public Pardon – The head honcho eventually pulled them together for a chat. “No more shorts in class,” came the verdict, and they were sent home with a lesson about what’s actually considered club‑appropriate.
Fashion Unawareness 101
They didn’t exactly know the fashion playbook either, so they were clear cut on “what’s safe to wear” – or basically what the school actually wanted.
It’s funny how something as simple as a pair of shorts can reveal the entire background story and how a lot of star‑made wardrobes have humble beginnings.

A Few Hilarious Misadventures in the Group’s Early Days
Back when the group was still finding its rhythm, they had to pull off performances for variety shows on the fly.
Incident 1 – The Tongue Blip
- Michael bumped into Andy Lau, unleashing an almost tongue‑nabbing situation. Andy was so close to chewing off a chunk that Michael could only laugh at the accident.
- With a shake of a head, Michael quipped, “He only bit half of it off, but hey that’s how he became a singer!”
Incident 2 – The Table Flip Mishap
- Tony attempted a daring flip over a table, but the landing went off‑target, and his mouth hit the sharp corner, splintering a front tooth.
- Felix, never one to miss a joke, said, “Since then, he’s very good when it comes to reciting lines!”
Why These Stories Matter
These blunders might be comic gold, but they also chronicle the grit that fueled the group’s rise. Even a cracked tooth or a bitten‑off tongue can’t dull the spark they ignited.
