Hacken blames himself for the death his dog

Hacken Lee, Eric Suen, Angela Tong and Kay Tse attended the Hang Seng Bank 75th Anniversary Special on the night before. Hacken revealed that he will be heading overseas for more than 10 days. “This is the first time I'm away for such a long time since Ryan’s birth. It feels sad to part but we still have to earn our living.” He also brought up the death of his beloved dog which he has kept for more than 10 years. This has saddened him a lot. “It’s my fault. I was busy with my concert as well as taking care of Ryan. I’m deeply sorry that I’ve neglected it. There are 4 more dogs in my house currently and I have decided not to add any more.”

Working overseas, Hacken Lee misses beloved son

On the same night, Hacken also attended JSG. As he had to change his appearance for both shows, it was a hectic day for him. Adding on, he said that his dog died a week ago due to Pleural effusion. It was too late when he discovered there is something wrong with his dog. There was nothing they could do but euthanasia, and Hacken feels guilty about it. Seeing the doctors ‘send his dog away’ felt like he was murdering his own dog but he was not in a position to control it. Moreover, this is the second time he is facing the death of his dogs. 2 of his dogs at home are more than 10 years old.

Hacken and Eason tie, both win 5 awards each

2008 March 13

Eason and Hacken were big winners last night; both winning 5 awards each; Eason was the only singer that had the firework effects when he was singing, it shows that he is the Big Brother. Hacken replies: "I requested not to have the fireworks because a firework hit my eyebrow before, and also my throat." As for Leo Ku, who was absent and had no awards, Hacken responds: "I don't how to say this, when I am on stage to receive awards, I am very happy, but if no awards there is nothing I can do, I won't take it to heart (they should give Leo an award?) I don't know how to answer, maybe he received a job that will earn lots of money, this is understandable!" As for the flu going around, Hacken agrees that schools should close for a week.

Hacken takes care of baby, loses chance to meet Beckham


2008 March 3

Hacken, Patrick, Vincy, Yumiko and Sherman Chung were guests at the "Po Leung Kuk 60 Years Show."

Recently finishing his concert, Hacken and his wife along with a big group went to Japan for vacation. But Hacken ate all sorts of food and eventually became ill. Hacken laughs and said that the time in Japan was very precious, but already had to sleep in the hotel room for one whole day; I still insist on going shopping on day two even though I still had a fever, but as a result, while my wife was shoe shopping, I fell asleep on the sofa. Hacken's idol, Beckham is already in Shanghai to play soccer with the Celebrity Soccer team. Hacken said that even Alan called him to see if Hacken wanted to go as well, but Hacken rejected the offer. Hacken said, "Actually after finishing the concert, my son already doesn't recognize me, when he saw me, he cried. And because I was sick, I had to wear the face mask to play with him, but because of the face mask he can't recognize me so he cried! Well, Beckham will also come to Hong Kong! I told Alan that if I had to say who was more important, Beckham or my son, of course my son is more important." Hacken joked that if Beckham can't recognize him, it's not a big problem but if his son can't recognize me, then it is a big problem. Because of his son, Hacken loses his chance to meet his idol, do you think your son tied you down? Hacken replies: "No, I feel very happy! Right now I am not afraid to expose my son, even when going for tea, I will bring him too." Hacken will soon be going to the US for a concert, will his wife also go with? Hacken answers, "No, she has to take care of our son, I am in charge of earning money. If she also goes, then our son won't recognize her too!"

Alan gives Hacken a digital photo album at his concert



February 20, 2008

"Your Hacken Lee Concert Hall" concert ended last night on its 11th show. Alan Tam and his mother, Charmaine Sheh, Hu Fung and his wife, Chen Dao Ran and rumoured lover Li Ceng Wu as well as other artistes attended to show their support. When Hacken was singing "Everyday is Valentine’s Day", he dedicated the song to Ceng Wu and Dao Ran. He requested for the two of them to kiss, making Dao Ran embarrassed. In the end, however, Dao Ran kissed Ceng Wu. Hacken sent them his blessings and hoped they could bear a child soon, commenting they are not young anymore. Realizing he might have spoken the wrong words, he begged for their forgiveness. On them saying that both of them did not admit to their relationship, Hacken joked “Of course they deny it but their expressions gave themselves away.”


Alan jokes about Edison scandal

Alan went on stage and told him some "uncivilized" jokes, not letting go off the recent Edison scandal. He joked, “I am giving you a digital photo album and teaching you the right way of storing photos. As Ryan grows, don’t store his pictures in the computer.” Alan also admitted that he’s someone who's a happy-go-lucky person who goes on stage and speaks any-o-how and is not the chairman of the artistes’ guild while up on stage. It was obvious that Alan was pointing out Edison’s stupidity, and he shocked Hacken with his words.

Alan also commented to Hacken, “Cally (one of the artistes present as audience) said that when you dance, it would be best that you make your backside higher.” Hacken replied, “There are so many kids here…” On saying that, he gave Hacken a red packet imprinted with Cally’s beloved dog Cash, and expressed that Cally wanted to pass this to him.


The audience bursts into laughter because of their conversation.

Both of them received red packets from the audience which will be donated to the Red Cross society. Alan Tam prepared his own big bag to collect the red packets and went the coliseum. Hacken reminded him to be careful with the staircase. “I can see that. You think that I am George Lam?” He even joked about George Lam on the incident where he fell on stage the year before.

Shirley Kwan also appeared as a guest. An MV special casting the both of them (filmed in the past) was broadcasted. Shirley joked, “I could not recognize myself from the screen.”When the both of them held hangs and duet, the audience applauded. She wore a sexy costume, and agreed on a date to dine with Hacken and his son after his concert. Hacken kissed Shirley before they sang.

In an interview after the concert, Hacken relates to Alan’s joke with the digital photo album. “It sent shivers down my spine but I know that he will not say what he’s not supposed to. I am very alert too. I did not cut into his words.” He did not want to reply to the Edison scandal, and was asked if he had invited Twins, Cecilia Cheung or Nicholas Tse as guest earlier on. All Hacken said was “Don’t ask sensitive questions!”

During the encore, Hacken sang "Festivals" last. One of the bulbs hanging on the stage exploded and pieces of glass landed on the audience’s seats. The security guards dispersed the front row audiences at once. Fortunately, no one was hurt. Hacken joked, “I sang till the light bulbs burst. I have to go over my singing.”

What is the first thing he wants to do on completing this concert? He wishes to spend more time with Ryan. As he has been very busy, he missed the time to spend with his son and joked that he’s afraid that Ryan cannot recognize him.
