    Family and fans gathered in Hong Kong on Monday to bid farewell to singer and actress CoCo Lee at her funeral. Lee, who passed away earlier this month at the age of 48 after battling depression, was celebrated for her successful career in the entertainment industry, which included numerous albums, movies, and television shows. Despite the sweltering summer heat, fans lined up outside the funeral home to pay their respects to their idol. Lee’s older sister, Nancy, expressed gratitude to the guests and reminisced about her sister’s infectious smile and kind heart. A video tribute showcased the many stars and movie directors that Lee had worked with throughout her career. Lee’s body was cremated on Tuesday in the presence of her closest friends and colleagues. Born in Hong Kong and raised in the United States, Lee launched her music career after winning a singing contest. She found success in Asia during the 1990s, selling millions of albums and singing in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. Her fusion of R&B and hip hop helped her connect with the US audience, and she became the voice of Disney’s Mulan in the Mandarin version of the film. Lee’s funeral gathered tributes from singers with similar backgrounds, acknowledging her Chinese heritage and connection with the US. She also gained a considerable following in mainland China in recent years after appearing on popular singing competition shows. Lee’s funeral was widely followed on Chinese social media platform Weibo, with millions of users tracking the events. Fans traveled from mainland China to Hong Kong to attend the memorial, expressing their admiration for Lee’s impact on their lives. Despite the sadness of her passing, colleagues and fans expressed comfort in the fact that Lee’s music will continue to inspire future generations.
