It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the loss of the talented Hong Kong actress, Esther Wan. Known for her remarkable career at TVB and her unwavering spirit in the face of adversity, Esther Wan recently passed away after a long battle with breast cancer. Today, we pay tribute to her extraordinary life and the legacy she leaves behind.
As reported on Mingpao, Esther Wan dedicated 23 years of her life to TVB before departing in 2021. She fought bravely against breast cancer, which she was first diagnosed with in 2005. Through a series of treatments, including a mastectomy surgery, Esther managed to achieve remission and inspire hope in many.

Unfortunately, her condition took a turn for the worse shortly after, surprising those who knew her. Esther withdrew from the public eye and made rare appearances, with her last sighting in April at an event where she appeared noticeably thinner and wore a headcover.
Meg Lam, a close friend of Esther, expressed her sadness upon hearing the news. Meg revealed that Esther had been in and out of the hospital in recent months. “Esther and I often played badminton together. She was a strong person and a cancer fighter,” Meg said, highlighting Esther’s resilience and determination.
Esther Wan’s last TVB drama was the 2021 series “Story of Zom-B.” Although she never portrayed lead roles, her talent shone through in various TVB dramas, including “Big White Duel,” “Raising the Bar,” and “Criminal Investigation Files III.” Esther’s dedication to her craft and her ability to bring depth to every character she portrayed made her a beloved figure in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
