He has been married to his Singaporean wife, Lung Yan, for many years and is known in the entertainment industry for his loving devotion to his wife. In his early years, he frequently flew between Hong Kong and Singapore just to be with his family. Hui Shiu-hung and his family recently visited Qing Hui Garden in Shunde and shared a photo on social media, revealing his wife's background. It was then revealed that Qing Hui Garden was his wife's family's ancestral property.
The last time Hui Shiu-hung made a public appearance was on October 6, the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. He had a dinner with his daughter and a group of old friends. In the group photo, Hui Shiu-hung looked relaxed and at ease, with nothing unusual happening.
Born in Hong Kong in 1948, Hui Shiu-hung returned to Guangzhou with his father at the age of one to pursue business.

His great-aunt was Xu Guangping, the wife of the modern Chinese writer Lu Xun. Hui Shiu-hung once said, "Compared to them, it's like every tree has dead branches, and every clan has beggars. I'm both a dead branch and a beggar. I'm so far behind them."
