He also confirmed that his grandaunt, Xu Guang Ping, is indeed Lu's wife, which makes him Lu's grandnephew.

With regard to the rumours that his father is a goldsmith, Hui replied, "It's just jewellery."

Self-reliance in showbiz

When asked why he did not become a businessman or politician since he was born to a wealthy family, Hui gave a non-answer, "How do you define a rich man's child? If having a dollar is considered wealthy, I probably only have a cent..."

The 72-year-old rejected the notion that only those who are wealthy can work in showbiz and maintained that he worked very hard contrary to the glamorous appearance associated with being in the entertainment industry.

He said, "How do I put food on the table if I do not act?"

Hui added that while the previous generations of his family were well-off, his generation was more self-reliant.
