According to reports, Oscar was taken by three men on his way to school 23 years ago.
The kidnappers contacted his parents, Sylvia and Taiwanese businessman Billy Wang, demanding a ransom of HK $15mil (S$2.5mil). They also threatened to kill Oscar if they did not receive the sum of money.
Thankfully, Sylvia and Billy remained calm, and carried out negotiations for a week before the police arrested the kidnappers and rescued Oscar from a hotel in Mongkok.
After the incident, Oscar was sent to England, and Sylvia took a three-year break from work to accompany her son. The family has kept a low-profile since then.
Oscar only recently stepped into the public eye after completing his studies.
He moved to Shanghai for his art career, and held his teapot exhibition, titled “Things”, in Hong Kong.
