Nic's Course of Growing Up
1986This name "Xie Ting Feng", has been recognised by people since his birth. He already appeared on the cover of weekly magazines at 5. Everyone thought that growing up in a celebrity family, he must be really happy. But his childhood, did he really not have any worries? Everyone might as well imagine his mood at that time from the exposed picture of him and his family when he was 5! Then...[more]

Autobiography Chapter 1: The Origin Of The Name "Ting Fung"
When "Yes!" asked me to write an autobiography, I was really taken back. I am only 17 and I have to write an autobiography. Is it a bit over the top? That's why I said: "There's no need for an autobiography, I only want to share with readers my childhood events, unforgettable experiences and my personal feelings, I hope that after everyone has read it, you can understand Tse Ting Fung even more."
On 29/09/1980, Nicholas Tse was born in Hong Kong's French hospital in room 3XX. I've already for...[more]

Autobiography Chapter 2: Super Rebellious and chasing after girls
When you talk about education, of course I have to start from kindergarten, but my impression of the life in kindergarten was not very deep. I've already forgotten about a lot of things. The only thing I can remember the most was at that time I had already started to "chase girls". That girl had short hair, as for her name, I can't remember. The deepest impression was at that time I took away her kettle. It made her so angry that she chased after me in the classroom while scolding and shouting a...[more]

Autobiography Chapter 3: I had my first fight for my sister
When I was in Canada, because my parents needed to work, the responsibility of looking after me went to Nancy. She was my mother's housekeeper and she had already worked for my mother for over ten years. So my father and mother were not worried to let her look after me and my sister.
When I first got to Canada, nothing extraordinary happened and I didn't get bullied by white boys. Maybe it was because I was still very young, so I could adapt to the environment a bit easier and meet new friend...[more]

Autobiography Chapter 4: The Days When I Didn't Want To Go Home
I am a type of person that likes being with friends more than with family. This might not have much to do with my family. My father and mother often had to go back to Hong Kong to work, leaving only my sister and servants to be with me at home. That's why it was rather deserted. It always made me feel that there wasn't any feeling of closeness. So at that time I often didn't want to go back home. It was such a rare opportunity for me to be able to lodge in the school in the sixth year. This to m...[more]

Autobiography Chapter 5: Don't Go To School, Learn Music
I went to Phoenix in America to study. You could say it was the period of time I developed in music. I continued to graduate to study in the tenth and eleventh year there. Due to the fact at that time I was on my own going there to study, living by myself, I didn't have many friends by my side. So I felt studying there was very boring, I wasn't in any mood to go to school. I can say with a lot of guts that, there was a period of time when I was very naughty and I once played truant.

Autobiography Chapter 6: I Am Not A Rich Kid
The days I received training in Japan. I can describe it completely with the word "tough".
A lot of people don't understand why it's tough going to Japan, these advanced countries to study. The reason is very simple - just one word, money. I believe that a majority of people won't believe that I went to Japan to study and unexpectedly I didn't have any money to spend. But the reality is like this. There are a lot of people who think that Ting Fung was born in a rich family and so whatever I w...[more]

Autobiography Chapter 7: I Am Like Fellow Sufferer With My Father
I've talked so much about my childhood happenings and unforgettable experiences, lets change the subject and talk about 3 of the close people by my side - father, mother and sister!
-Father-
He is the head of the family, of couse I have to talk about him first. In my eyes my father Patrick Tse is a "big kid", he really loves to play. My relationship with him is basically more like friends than father and son. You could say he was one of my good "brothers". Actually I really like these kinds ...[more]

Autobiography Chapter 8: The Packed Riding At Full Speed Sniper
I believe everyone has gone to a lesson of composing and once wrote a chapter on the topic of "My wish" before. Even though I studied in the International school since I was little and I didn't write a composition like this. But equally I had my own wish.
My wish was to be an architect because I loved imagination and to do creative work. Therefore being an architect fits my interest just right. But after I came into contact with music in America, only then did it make my ambition change to wa...[more]

Autobiography Chapter 9: Conception Of Love
At last, why not talk about my thoughts on love. I believe everyone really has a lot of interest to know. Actually with regard to love, I have always held onto the attitude of letting it come naturally. If I have I have, if I don't I don't care, because love in my life is absolutely not in the first position. I will be a very traditional man, because I fully agree to this case of "male on the outside, female on the inside". I will request my other half to be generous and proper, she doesn't have...[more]

Autobiography Chapter 10: I Walk My Own Road
"The length of life is not important, the most important is when living you live vigorously" - Tse Ting Fung.
Always from the start to now, I never thought that I would enter the industry so early at 16 years of age. Because in my dream, I needed to wait until I finished school, before I officially joined the music business. Coping with my family splitting apart, it make my view of life change. I felt that I should be independent earlier, supporting myself. Since at that time I had an opportu...[more]

Autobiography Chapter 11: No One Can Threaten Tse Ting Fung
I am very happy that I have done a lot of hard work. At last I have changed the outsiders' impression of me. The audience are gradually accepting me, agreeing with me. Of course my music dream has not yet been fully fulfilled nevertheless the audiences' changed perception of me will let me have an even bigger push to go and continue my music trip.
Always from start to now I have had to bear various kinds of pressure. Some from outsiders and some from myself. Mainly it is work plus the pressur...[more]

Autobiography Chapter 12: Don't Hope To Make TV Dramas Again
Filming the first movie "Young And Dangerous: The Prequel", taught me to feel what is group living. Singing is very independent, it is a group activity, even forming a band is too. But filming a movie made me know that you cannot be short of anyone's importance. The director, the assistant director, the lights man....cannot be without one, a number of months I faced them day and night, I learnt how to get along in a group.
Before I filmed movies I thought the process would be very rigorous, s...[more]

Autobiography Chapter 13: Softly Say I Have No Intimate Friends In The Circle
Outsiders always think that I'm a really hard person to get along with. Actually, outside the circle and inside the circle I have a lot of intimate friends. It's just that I think I don't have to explain myself to anyone.
My friends outside the circle are all classmates from my boarding school in Canada from the past. We are still in contact through the phone now. We all grew up lodging in the school. I lived with a couple of friends for 7 years. Till now we have known each other for nearly 1...[more]

Autobiography Chapter 14: My Rumoured Girlfriend And I Have Already Gotten Married
I don't know why I have so many rumours and bad publicity. This is the most saddest thing I feel I've come across in the entertainment circle. It makes it very hard on me. Even though everyone has their own spots where it's hard on them, but working in our industry, the toughest is that no one understands and forgives you, that's not only physical toughtness, it makes me very doubtful of whether all my own hard work doing all this at last is it worth it or not.
From when I entered the busines...[more]
