At the star-studded wedding between Hong Kong celebrity Dickie Cheung and Chinese actress Zhang Qian recently in Manila, Han Hong, the hefty butch Tibetan-born crooner who sports short cropped hair and men's suits and who's long been rumoured to be a lesbian, was seen getting a little emotional during the church service.
