Summary
Fred Cheng (鄭俊弘) said he accepts that the intense excitement of early romance has faded in his marriage with Stephanie Ho (何雁詩), but insisted the couple still share “a lot of love”. Speaking at a charity dinner in Hong Kong, he also gave an upbeat update on their son Asher, saying the child’s condition has improved since moving to Vancouver for treatment.
Key Points
- Cheng attended a charity dinner hosted by the Good Learning Charity Foundation on October 23 as an ambassador and performed on stage alongside guests including Angie Chiu Tsang Hok-yun, Yvonne Yung, Joe Ma and Irene Wan.
- He said the foundation has long supported children with special educational needs, making the event especially meaningful because he is the father of a child with SEN.
- Cheng said his son Cheng Tsan-ting, known as Asher, who has Angelman syndrome, has seen much better control of epileptic seizures in Vancouver and is now more willing to learn.
- He said Asher is showing major progress, is close to walking on his own, is less afraid of falling, and enjoys playing the piano with improving pitch matching and pronunciation.
- Responding to criticism over the couple taking turns caring for Asher in Vancouver, Cheng said relatives there help with childcare and that he and Ho also spend time together as a family, including a recent three-day, two-night island trip.
Why It Matters
Cheng’s remarks directly address online speculation about both his parenting and his marriage, while shifting attention to his son’s treatment progress and the family’s support network. For Hong Kong readers, the comments also add a public perspective on how families manage long-term care for children with special needs across different places.
