At 72 years old, Eric Tsang received the 'Legendary Honor Award' at the 2025 TVB Anniversary Awards and officially announced he was stepping down from his role as TVB General Manager. After saying farewell to his five-year tenure, he described himself as physically and mentally exhausted, even 'losing himself' at times. However, after stepping down, he seemed to have 'regained his freedom', quickly heading to Kunming, China, to meet up with old friends from the star football team such as Alan Tam and Felix Wong. The scenes of their celebration were all captured on camera.
After finishing a friendly football match, Eric Tsang and his group of brothers held a celebratory banquet in a private room at a local specialty restaurant. From the photos that surfaced, it's clear that, free from the heavy burden, Eric Tsang was in high spirits, gesturing passionately and laughing heartily at the table, and even clapping cheerfully when particularly excited.
The most eye-catching part was none other than the unique ethnic-style toasting ritual. One photo showed a young, beautiful woman biting a wine glass and leaning back, while Eric Tsang bent forward, using his mouth instead of his hands, carefully drinking from the glass. This unique toasting culture, known as 'biting glass toast', stirred up the crowd—many took out their phones to record, and Eric Tsang himself blushed with a big smile, becoming the center of attention. Additionally, several beauties in traditional ethnic costumes lined up to toast the guests in turn, creating a lively and joyful atmosphere. Immersed in this enthusiastic environment, Eric Tsang completely let himself go, demonstrating his hearty and bold nature.
This wild party in Kunming stood in sharp contrast to Eric Tsang’s five years at TVB. He admitted that the five-year term as General Manager at TVB was 'too long', causing his health to deteriorate and leaving him feeling lost. He said that over the past several years, he had lost much of his personal time and health for work. Now, choosing to regain his freedom and reunite with old friends, he seems to be making up for the joyful moments he lost over the previous five years.
