Autobiography Chapter 7: I Am Like Fellow Sufferer With My Father
31 December 1995I'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 of relationships because it's easier to communicate like this. The area I most admire about my father is that he will not lose contact with society. Even though in terms of age, we are very far apart but no matter what I say or play he can understand.
-Mother-
My mother is a very intelligent person, her brain is very active, she is eloquent and articulate and you could even say she is a quick talker. Actually it's a good thing for her to have these temperaments, especially working in the entertainment circle, it's the most suitable. A lot of people have asked me, having parents as stars will you feel very powerful? I can positively say: "I absolutely don't feel it!" Because I'm proud of my parents, it is because of their personalities, and not their careers or extraordinary past achievements.
-Sister-
My sister Ting Ting is younger than me by 2 years. She is a very fragile little girl, but in a certain extent she has her strong side. Well she is still young, that's why she is very immature in many respects, so she cannot handle a lot of things. I admit that even though I have the intention to be a good brother, but I absolutely haven't done it to the best. I really want to be better to her, but the problem is that I have no time and the ability to go and do it.
The thing I remember the most was when our family split apart, in Vancouver she was 13 years old and couldn't accept the news. The school phoned my home, they said Ting Ting looks like she has some problems and they hope that even if there is anything wrong at home it won't affect her, she's still young. At this time I was in America, all I could do was phone her every night to talk to her and make her open up until her state of mind calmed down and only then was I not worried. And I have at least done a bit of my responsibility as a brother.
Apart from my sister, actually I always longed for a little brother because I can teach him and raise him. Wait after he grows up, he will be my duplicate. Then I will have a very big feeling of satisfaction.
The opposite, I myself don't like being the little brother, I still like being the bigger brother more because I don't like to rely on others. Even my parents are no exceptions. I am naturally independent, and being the bigger brother who keeps up the household is still more suitable for me.
