Hong Kong singer-actor Law Kar-ying sparked concern among fans earlier in May after disclosing that he had been diagnosed with cancer for the fourth time.

At the time, the 78-year-old said he had opted to forgo chemotherapy and radiotherapy, estimating he might have about eight years left to live.

In a recent interview on a web programme, Law candidly revealed that he has already made arrangements for life after his passing.

The From Beijing With Love (1994) star shared that he had specially purchased a property and took out two insurance policies for his wife, actress Liza Wang.

“I’ve been doing many things recently. I bought two insurance policies in Liza’s name, and even purchased the 12th floor above our rehearsal venue. I told her if anything happened to me, that floor would be hers,” he said.

Describing himself as a “traditional” person, Law said he prefers a burial and had bought two plots more than a decade ago.

The opera singer also shared that he would occasionally discuss life and death with Wang, 77, whom he married in 2009.

“I predict that I’ll go before her. She’s in good health. Ideally, I’d like to go later than her, so I can take care of her until she feels at ease,” he added.

Despite his cancer diagnosis, Law is determined to make the most of his remaining years and live freely without regrets.

When asked if he regretted not having any children, he admitted having mixed feelings.

“I do feel a little regretful … There are pros and cons. Without children, you have fewer worries. The only downside is that no one will inherit my lifelong skills in Cantonese opera,” he said.
