They were supposed to get married in 1999, when on the eve of marriage she found out that he had a 7 year old son with an wife. Love indeed is a gamble of emotions. They became romantically involved in 1985. Finally broke up in 2002. Wong had to leave Taiwan to get over her sadness and she went to Canada.
