Back from Beyond: Madame Tussauds immortalizes Hong Kong rocker

In the 1980s and early 1990s, Beyond made a profound impact on Chinese youngsters. However, at their zenith, tragedy struck. On June 24, 1993, Wong Ka-kui fell from a stage while filming a show at Fuji Television in Tokyo and died six days later.

In 2005, the remaining three members of the band decided to pursue their individual music careers and disbanded.

"It feels wonderful to see my dear elder brother alive again. I don't know whether it's OK to hug the wax replica, but I really want to hug him," says Wong Ka-keung, touchingly.

With permission, he then hugged it and took some photos. Fans posted on microblogging site Sina Weibo that they were moved to see the two brothers' pictured "together" after 25 years and that they're glad to see their deceased idol remembered as a wax replica.

"It's important to have his wax figure here, because it's another way to keep his memory alive, I am grateful for it," Wong Ka-keung admits. According to him, Wong Ka-kui loved red and black since he was a child and most of his wardrobe consisted of those two colors.

"In our teenage years, it was his love of music that inspired my love for music as well," he remembers.

"He was always my best friend. Even now I have a lot to talk with him about," he adds, "I want to share my joys and sorrows with him. I need his advice to help me solve my problems."
