Actor Moses Chan from Hong Kong is under strain from struggling business endeavours
HONG KONG: It has been a struggle for actor Moses Chan as his coffee shop chain is suffering from declining sales, as reported by VnExpress.

It sounds like things haven't been going too well with most of Chan's ventures. This insider says his investments haven't really paid off. And to make matters worse, while his businesses haven't been doing great, rent in Hong Kong is also expensive. Passionate about his coffee business
He's been so swamped trying to keep his coffee shops going that his birthday just passed him by on April 16 without him even noticing. The poor guy's been working himself to the bone, putting in all those hours, because he's genuinely passionate about his coffee business.
Chan, who is a veteran actor, came clean about it, saying that things in the business world have not been looking so great recently. In addition, he said that they are not bringing in as much revenue as they used to.
Chan's close friend shared that Chan takes care of the finances of his family while his wife, Miss Hong Kong 2006 Aimee Chan, focuses on raising their three kids and being in charge of the house. The family hires a domestic worker, and their kids go to international schools. Life is not easy for anyone
It seems like Chan's situation has really got people talking online. Many internet users sympathised with the actor and acknowledged the challenging economic climate. One internet user left a comment saying that life is not easy for anyone.
Someone else chimed in online about how expensive international schools are, suggesting it might be simpler to just send the kids to public schools. And then you had another person saying they're a big fan of Chan, so they actually make a point of going to his coffee shop quite a bit. They added that the drinks are good. TVB's highest-paid actor
The well-known TVB actor Chan, 44, is well recognised for his parts in Heart of Greed and Moonlight Resonance . At the 2023 TVB Anniversary Awards, he took home the Best Actor trophy for his performance in Narcotics Heroes . Chan, who is said to be TVB's highest-paid actor, makes HK$30 million (SGD4.9 million) a year.
His wife, Aimee, who is also 44 years old, was propelled to stardom after winning Miss Hong Kong in 2006. She then joined TVB, where she starred in popular shows like E.U. as well as Burning Flame III.
Chan's wife took a break from acting for a bit back in 2014 because she wanted to focus on taking care of her family. In 2011, the couple made their relationship public and tied the knot in 2013. They are parents to two daughters and a son.
A famous actor in Hong Kong, Moses Chan Ho (陳豪) was born on April 16, 1971.
In the mid-1990s, Chan debuted his acting career and has since starred in various TV dramas and films. Chan won both the Best Actor and Most Favourite Character awards at the TVB Anniversary Awards for his role in Heart of Greed in 2007.

It's always tough, but I just tried my best to do whatever I could to win the match… It's a good thing that I'm now the world No. 1. Of course, there's always pressure. But it's a good kind of pressure. I've already said in the beginning that I want to win all tournaments, and that's what I'm focused on now,' Vitidsarn expressed. Vitidsarn demonstrated his dominance through his speed and strong defence, accompanied by impressive shots, which left his opponent frustrated during the match. Moreover, due to this achievement, he will become the first Thai male athlete to reach the number one spot. Indeed, he has cemented his name as one of the best players this year. Chen Yu Fei's redemption On the women's side, Chen Yu Fei played a dedicated game to beat her fellow Chinese athlete, Wang Zhi, with a final score line of 21-11, 21-11. She finally won the KFF Singapore Badminton Open after finishing second last year. The former world No. 1 had a great week so far, having a big win against the current top-ranked An Se Young in the quarterfinals. With her win, Chen declared: 'I'm really, really happy. The match schedule was tough, and every round was a challenge. I just tried to take it one game at a time and not stress too much. I felt more relaxed this time, and that helped me play better.'

Behind on their rent Things are tight for them right now. Au revealed that they're behind on their rent by a month and a half, and it costs them HK$15,000 monthly.

He's done everything from setting up cable wires and working on construction sites to handing out flyers, delivering food, and even distributing condoms. Did not get many roles If you're wondering how Cheung got his start, it was in 2003 with a boy band. Before that, they were known as Boy'z but then switched to Sun Boy'z. They were quite popular in Hong Kong and even won several music awards. However, when the group disbanded in 2008, Cheung attempted to transition into acting, but his career didn't take off. He didn't get many good roles.

Following that, the singer was unable to secure a job, further worsening their financial difficulties. In 2003, Steven Cheung Chi-hang, 40, a singer from Hong Kong, made his debut as part of the boy group Boy'z. The duo, formed by Emperor Entertainment Group, also included Kenny Kwan. They were quite popular and received multiple music awards in Hong Kong. In 2005, Kwan left the group and was briefly replaced by Dennis Mak. Then, things shifted in 2006 when William Chan joined, and it was then that they decided to change their name to Sun Boy'z. However, in December 2008, the group officially called it quits.

Chinese travel more during Dragon Boat holiday but spending lags
[HONG KONG] Chinese people travelled more over the three-day Dragon Boat holiday this year, but spending remained below pre-pandemic levels, government data showed on Tuesday (Jun 3) – indicators that are closely watched as barometers of consumer confidence. Consumption in the world's second-largest economy has suffered amid sputtering growth and a prolonged property crisis, with uncertainty from the US-China trade war also weighing on consumer confidence. The latest data painted a mixed picture for China's consumer economy. Travellers took an estimated 119 million domestic journeys from Friday to Monday, up 5.7 per cent from the same holiday period last year, according to the Ministry for Tourism and Culture. Overall spending over the period rose to 42.73 billion yuan (S$7.7 billion), a year-on-year increase of 5.9 per cent, but the average amount spent per traveller was a little under 360 yuan, according to Reuters calculations, remaining stubbornly below 2019 levels of around 410 yuan per trip. The Dragon Boat Festival took place from May 31 to Jun 2 – and is celebrated throughout the country with local dragon boat races. Many people take the opportunity to have short holidays, crowding train stations and airports around the country. Cross-border journeys rose 2.7 per cent to 5.9 million, with 231,000 foreign nationals entering the country visa-free during the holiday, broadcaster CCTV said late on Monday. BT in your inbox Start and end each day with the latest news stories and analyses delivered straight to your inbox. Sign Up Sign Up China has been expanding its visa policy, with citizens of 43 countries granted visa-free access, while visa-free transit for up to 240 hours in China is available for 54 countries. Rail lines saw the peak of return passenger flow on Jun 2, with authorities adding 1,279 trains to more than 11,000 passenger trains overall across the country, while road travel was up 3 per cent year on year, with 600 million car journeys recorded, mostly travelling short distances. Chinese also boosted spending on entertainment over the holiday, with cinema box office revenue reaching 460 million yuan, surpassing last year's 384 million yuan, according to data from online ticketing platform Maoyan. Tom Cruise's latest movie Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning topped charts, and generated 228 million yuan, half of the total revenue during the holiday period, which was seen as a positive indicator for the upcoming summer season.
