Interviewer: About how long was it?
Kent Tong: Almost two or three years.
Interviewer: Then the relationship should have been quite stable, right?
Kent Tong: It was okay. Yeah, stable.
Interviewer: But you actually broke up at that time?
Interviewer: You’d already broken up?
Kent Tong: Yeah—well, not exactly a breakup. It was more like a fight.
Interviewer: How long did it last? How long was the cold war at the time?
Kent Tong: Back then, we were still filming together as the lead actors, a couple on screen.
Interviewer: So you two had a fight, right?
Interviewer: Did she show any unusual emotions?
Kent Tong: I think it’s normal for couples to argue like that.
Interviewer: What kind of person was she in daily life? Her personality?
Kent Tong: You couldn’t tell from her appearance. You wouldn’t expect her to be like that.
Interviewer: It wasn’t actually that frequent, right?
Kent Tong: At the time, I just felt like we were arguing, yeah.
Interviewer: Two months?
Kent Tong: I didn’t expect it to be so serious. That’s why it turned out this way.
Interviewer: She was still quite cheerful, right?
Kent Tong: Yeah, yeah. But maybe when she was unhappy, no one was there to comfort her.
Interviewer: How did you find out about the news?
Kent Tong: The next morning, someone sent me a message. At that time, there were no mobile phones—only pagers.
Interviewer: So they contacted you via pager ?
Interviewer: Did you feel like you were struck by lightning? One day, she was alive, and suddenly…
Kent Tong: Yeah.
