The People's PCC vice-chairman Henry Fok's eldest grandson Kenneth Fok and his wife "Diving Princess" Guo Jingjing had their first baby boy on August 27th. Yesterday Kenneth met the press and shared a family photo with the media. Kenneth expressed the photo was taken by his mother Loletta Chu (former Miss HK). He said: "I told her to help us take a family of three picture. She was shy about it because she usually just takes pictures of plants and flowers, not people. I thought she was nervous taking a picture of the baby for the first time. She came over in the morning to test the lighting."
There was nearly 50 reporters surrounding Kenneth during the press conference held on the fourth floor at the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital. Kenneth passed out a CD and family photo to each reporter and even had cookies to go along with it. Kenneth started the press conference by first thanking the media for the blessings and concern: "We actually wanted to keep this all low-profile, but everyone followed us and the baby so closely. I wrote some stuff on Weibo earlier and had received many blessings/gifts from friends in Hong Kong and Mainland. My colleagues said the gifts received at my company's office had to be put in the warehouse." Kenneth thanked his supportive family, who were there around the clock to update the situation. "Our parents helped out too, and I haven't learned how to take care of babies yet. The happiest is my grandparents, four generations under one roof. We got another generation in the house, even my younger brother is an uncle now. We all have more responsibilities now." Kenneth disclosed his mother Loletta rushed his little brother to hurry up and start planning for his future, get married and have children.
Kenneth continued: "The baby was born in the morning of August 27th. He was 7.3 pounds, height 50cm. He's still in the hospital under observation." Who does the baby look more like? Kenneth: "Depends on how you look at it. Take a look for yourselves, but my mother said baby looks more like Jingjing than me. He's very quiet, you can say his personality resembles me. My father said baby's eyes is filled with spirit, his eyes rolls around; he's a very curious baby." Kenneth goes on explaining he and his wife wanted a natural birth, but ultimately had to get a C-section; When the baby was born, the new parents were very emotional and teared up.
Since Jingjing was an athlete, she recovered quickly. Does Kenneth have anything to say to his wife Jingjing? He said: "It was only when the baby was born, I realized how mighty a mother is, but the road just started. Usually when you want to do something, there is an instruction manual, but not this time, I have a lot to learn. (Have more babies?) Take it a step at a time. (Breastfeeding?) Breast milk is good for the baby, we hope to do this. Also Jingjing is a UN ambassador, she encourages breastfeeding." The baby currently does not have a name yet, but when they come up with a good name, they will announce again.
