The sudden passing of Alien Huang has taken the entertainment industry by storm and its ripple effect can be felt even on our shores.
Numerous local celebrities have taken to social media to share their personal memories of the 36-year-old and how much they will miss the late Taiwanese celebrity, who called himself ‘Xiao Gui’ (Little Ghost). He had acted in three Singapore productions.
Actress Pan Lingling posted a video of a touching meeting between Alien and Chew Chor Meng, taken two years ago. They both played father and son in the 2012 Channel 8 drama Joys of Life.
Alien had arranged with Lingling in advance to surprise Chor Meng with a visit to the latter’s mookata stall when Alien was in the country. In the video, Alien yelled “Pa (Father)” when he saw the veteran actor, and the two hugged each other with happiness.

Lingling wrote: “I’ve been watching this video for two years on replay, and how this on-screen father-son duo had such a strong bond off-screen. My heart is hurting so much.”
On his Instagram, Chor Meng posted a black and white photo he took with Alien that day, saying, “I’ll never hear you call me ‘Ah Pa’ again.”

Local actor Andie Chen, and Alien’s co-star in Joys of Life, also took to Instagram to mourn his dear friend, whom his children call ‘Uncle Xiao Gui’. The two became closer after Joys of Life and Andie told AsiaOne that they would meet as long as they were in the same country, be it Singapore or Taiwan.

He has yet to tell his sons Aden and Avery about the death of ‘Uncle Xiao Gui’ even though he was “a little tempted” to do so after they saw him reading an article about Alien and called him.
Andie explained, “I was contemplating telling them, but I feel like emotionally, I haven’t finished digesting my own emotions, so I would think it would be a better idea for me to resolve my emotions before I can communicate with them properly.”
He also told The Straits Times that he is currently in Taipei on work and that he intends to pay his respects at the Alien wake. The two did not have a chance to meet when Andie completed her quarantine last week.
