Francis Ng's son claps back at negativity about his appearance: 'Don't waste your words' , Entertainment News
Recently, a netizen in Hong Kong ran into Feynman Ng, the son of veteran actor Francis Ng and his Singaporean former actress wife Ong Lay Pheng, and posted a photo with him on Xiaohongshu.
"I was so lucky to see someone I watched on TV as a child when I was at Wan Chai MTR station," she wrote.
The 16-year-old gained popularity after appearing alongside his father on the Chinese reality show Where Are We Going? Dad back in 2014, aged only five.
According to Hong Kong media, Feynman appears to have lost around 20 pounds (9kg) of weight in recent times, but received negative comments about his appearance on the post.
"He was so cute as a child, why is he like this now?" a netizen commented on a repost of the photo.
On Sunday (May 25), the teen clapped back in a Weibo post, which has since received 51,000 likes.
"If you don't like how I am now, you can leave," he wrote. "You don't have to try killing who I am currently, for your ideal version of me.
He "thanked" people for their comments but wrote, using a pun of his name sounding the same as the word 'useless', that there was no need to waste words on him.
"There is no suggestion box on my Weibo," he added.
He added recent photos of himself and even one of himself pulling a silly face on top of Victoria Peak.
This isn't the only time Feynman has created a buzz with his social media posts.
Last year, he took it too far when he posted a "funeral portrait" of his dad from the movie Infernal Affairs II (2003) and pretended to cut ties with him after the latter criticised Jacky Heung's acting on the Chinese acting variety show Memories Beyond Horizon.
Jacky, 40, is the son of influential producer-presenter Charles Heung, whose father founded one of Hong Kong's largest and most powerful triads. Netizens joked that Feynman could be in danger.
The teen promptly got admonished by Francis.

Black Myth: Wukong to get sequel featuring ghost-hunting deity Zhong Kui
Chinese mythology may just be taking the gaming world by storm once again as the developers behind the record-breaking hit game Black Myth: Wukong have announced their next game at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025 on Wednesday (Aug 20). Titled Black Myth: Zhong Kui, the new game by Chinese game studio Game Science was teased at the gaming convention in Cologne, Germany exactly a year after their previous game Black Myth: Wukong was released to much acclaim. Little is known about the game at present, but it is expected that the titular character, Zhong Kui, will be taking the stage as the playable character, according to Gamescom host Geoff Keighley. The game is still in early development, he added. A video of the less-than-two-minute trailer has so far racked up over nine million clicks on Bilibili, a Chinese online video-sharing website. An FAQ section on the studio's website also states: 'There's hardly any game footage we could share. To keep all hands focused on development, we decided to deliver a CG (computer graphics) short to let everyone know that a new project has kicked off.' Geoff also described Zhong Kui as a "ghost-catching god who wanders between hell and earth" - in the almost two-minute trailer, he is pictured with glowing eyes as he sits atop a large tiger. Those familiar with his lore may also know the deity as the "divine thundering exorcist and slayer of demons, king of bringing luck and prosperity (transliteration)", also known for the fierce look, dark skin and beard he constantly sports. There is no release date for Black Myth: Zhong Kui at present, but it is expected to be available on PC and all mainstream platforms, the studio also shared. Gamescom Cologne also saw announcements for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, World of Warcraft Midnight and Resident Evil Requiem among other games. The event will continue till Aug 24. khooyihang@

Arts Picks: Artists Of An Isle documentary, Baroque concert Suckerpunch, woodcut show
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Chinese-language writer You Jin (pictured) is featured in the five-part documentary series Artists Of An Isle. Artists Of An Isle documentary series Get an intimate look into the lives of Singapore's most respected artists in a five-part documentary series by Lianhe Zaobao and the Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre. Each 35-minute episode is a wispy and poetic window into an artist's personal journey in the arts. There is, for example, footage of the 103-year-old artist Lim Tze Peng painting bumboats, as well as the title calligraphy for this video series in his home studio in Telok Kurau. In the final months of his life – he died on Feb 3, 2025 – the Cultural Medallion recipient continued painting and doing calligraphy daily, although he could not leave his house to paint en plein air. Chinese-language writer You Jin, who is also a Cultural Medallion recipient, is the subject of another episode. Travel with the writer to Ipoh, where she spent the first eight years of her childhood, and hear her talk about her food writing. The other three featured artists are playwright and xiangsheng (crosstalk) pioneer Han Lao Da, also a recipient of the Cultural Medallion; Joy Chen Yu Shen, a doyenne of Singapore's vocal music education; and dancer Yan Choong Lian, who founded Dance Ensemble Singapore. The documentaries, with dialogue in Mandarin, come with English subtitles. Info: Watch the series at Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

PHOTO: COURTESY OF LESLIE TAN Leslie Tan, cellist and founding member of the T'ang Quartet, feels that Baroque music is always hiding an unexpected blow. It is why his group is called Suckerpunch. 'The Baroque idea of 'affects' is all about sudden shifts in mood and character – a musical sucker punch. We want our performances to have that same quality – unexpectedly punchy and able to catch you off guard in the best way.' The after-hours concert of music from the Renaissance and Baroque eras is performed by Tan and Mervyn Lee on the viola da gamba, Placida Ho on the violin and viola da gamba, Christopher Clarke on the treble viol and theorbo and the soprano Alison Wong. Tan hopes this concert – which opens with French composer Honore D'Ambruys and closes with French composer Josquin Des Prez – will show audiences less common repertoire and instruments, adding: 'We want to show that Baroque music is not just Bach, Vivaldi and Pachelbel.' The best way to enjoy the music is with a glass of bourbon, a charcuterie plate or even a concert dinner set – all available to purchase at Baroque House. Where: Baroque House, 29 Rowell Road MRT: Farrer Park/Jalan Besar When: Aug 23, 8.30pm Admission: $30 for the concert; various food and drink add-ons available Info: Traces Of Presence: A Woodcut Printmaking Exhibition Young Artist Award recipient and artist Zhang Fuming's Playground (2023). PHOTO: ZHANG FUMING Mention woodcut in Singapore and one might immediately think of social realists like Lim Yew Kuan and his scenes from the 1950s or 1960s. But 36-year-old artist Zhang Fuming is giving the traditional genre a contemporary spin – responding to modern-day scenes such as the playground. Traces Of Presence: A Woodcut Printmaking Exhibition presents works from the past 10 years of the Young Artist Award recipient's practice. But there is a twist – instead of just presenting the printed image, Zhang is also displaying the carved woodblocks and allowing the visitor to ponder the processes behind printmaking. He says: 'Alongside large anchor works, I'll also be presenting blocks and process pieces to highlight the physicality of printmaking. I hope viewers can sense both the endurance and fragility that run through these works.' He will be demonstrating his woodcut process from 4 to 5pm on Aug 23, 24, 30 and 31. Visitors can observe him at work and even try their hand at basic carving.
