Defends Eddie Kwan’s "Moon Jump"
Although TVB’s action-crime drama Ruse of Engagement, produced by Amy Wong, has finished its broadcast, many viewers still find Eddie Kwan’s "moon jump" unforgettable. Many parodies were made of Eddie’s superhuman jump, becoming a popular Internet meme at one point. Netizens criticized Ruse of Engagement for being over-the-top and unrealistic. Ron defended, "I do remember that scene particularly well. When I arrived on set, I was so relieved that I didn’t have to jump! We had to jump across the roofs of two twenty-story factory buildings. Although we had action choreographers on board and there were wires, it was still very scary experience for many!" Ron explained that he is actually afraid of heights, recalling one terrifying experience where his flight to Canada was experiencing high turbulence for over three hours, and in the end he downed four glasses of Whiskey so he could pass out to sleep. He tries to avoid long-term flights.
Near-Death Experience
Ron is a devout Buddhist and carries three Thai Buddha talismans wherever he goes for luck. He never misses a year without going to Thailand to pray in the temples. Ron revealed that he became a Buddhist after surviving a severe car accident which killed three of his friends when he was 16 years old. It was 1995. Ron and four friends were driving out of Tuen Mun to Kowloon. As they were about to enter the highway, they got into a severe car accident that killed three of his friends – two male and one female. The other passenger, a female, was hospitalized for several weeks. Ron, the other surviving passenger, only suffered a minor injury on his foot. “It’s been 18 years already! I was sitting on the left side of the backseat. When we crashed, I watched the friends around me dying. I remember screaming at them to not fall asleep. I still remember their faces.” For the next few years, Ron’s deceased friends continuously appeared in his dreams.
No Plans for Romance
Ron has been busy balancing his career in both Hong Kong and mainland China. Getting paid over 100,000 RMB per episode in a Mainland Chinese drama, Ron disclosed that he recently purchased his first home in Hong Kong. "My mother used to always tell me that after being in the business for so long, I didn’t buy a proper house for myself. I’ve finally purchased my first home. I plan to buy three more." He hopes to continue to split his time in Hong Kong to maintain his popularity, while earning more money in Mainland. Already in his mid-thirties, is Ron interested in having children at all? "I have many friends and classmates who are already married and with kids. They all tell me that if I want kids, I should start now because I’m still young and it’s easier to communicate with them. However, I really have no time to date! I have no time for a girlfriend, and I definitely have no time for a family. At the moment, the only thing I can do is focus on my work. Work harder for a few years, and let’s see what fate brings to me later!" Though Ron said he is not thinking about marriage now, it is something he plans for the next several years. "However, I will definitely not do announce my relationship like how I did in the past!"
