“I’m not envious, but I do feel bad for him.”

That was the response actor Kent Tong gave when asked by Hong Kong media if he was jealous of Andy Lau’s popularity.

Tong was once a household name in Hong Kong’s film industry in the 1980s and is among the Five Tiger Generals Of TVB which comprised Lau, Michael Miu, Felix Wong and Tony Leung Chiu Wai.
