We’re still enjoying glimpses of Eason Chan’s recent trip to Shanghai with his family. The Hong Kong singer-actor’s wife, Hilary Tsui, a former actress (she was in Shaolin Popey), was spotted meeting Grand Slam table tennis champion Fan Zhendong as they posed for a photo together. Meanwhile, Eason shared an amusing interaction with the table tennis star that had fans laughing at the awkwardness. When one went in for a dap, the other attempted a hug, when Fan wanted a handshake, Eason bowed—it was a hilariously mixed-up greeting.
Despite the awkwardness, the two are known to be fans of each other. Fan Zhendong has often sung Eason’s songs, while the “Cantopop King,” revealed that he’d rushed home from his concert to catch Fan’s games. This made their encounter even more meaningful, especially for fans who hope for another “meet-up,” with many hoping that Fan could be invited to perform at Eason’s future concert.
This unforgettable moment was made possible during a star-studded tennis exhibition in Shanghai last Friday, where the legendary Roger Federer teamed up with Eason to face Chinese tennis player Zhang Zhizhen and Fan Zhendong who’s only playing tennis for the third time. It marked yet another epic experience for Eason, a huge fan of Federer, and a treat for fans to see the crossover in music and sports.
