Why it matters
It highlights the personal sacrifices and emotional toll often experienced by public figures who balance demanding careers with family life.
Hong Kong actor Ha Yu has opened up about his relationship with his children, admitting that he doesn't consider himself a successful father.
In a recent interview with Hong Kong media, the 83-year-old revealed that he isn't particularly close to his children – actor Dixon Wong, 37, another 34-year-old son and a 27-year-old daughter.
Although they rarely argue and can chat normally, Ha Yu – whose real name is Wong Sing – said he has always felt as if there were an invisible wall between them.
Even when he and Dixon recently worked together on the drama Under The Rainbow , the father and son rarely spoke to each other on set.
Ha Yu acknowledged that spending little time with his children while they were growing up affected their bond, and they now rarely confide in him about their innermost feelings.
