Hui Sioo-sung was known as a good husband and father. He married Long Yan, a Singaporean, for many years, and was famous for being devoted to his wife in the industry. In his early years, he often flew between Hong Kong and Singapore to be with his family. Hui Sioo-sung's family once posted photos at Shunde Qinghui Garden restaurant on social media, revealing his wife's background, which made people know that Qinghui Garden was actually his wife's ancestral heritage.

Hui Sioo-sung's last public appearance was on the Mid-Autumn Festival on October 6, when he dined with his daughter and some old friends. At the group photo, Hui Sioo-sung looked relaxed and showed no signs of illness.

Hui Sioo-sung was born in Hong Kong in 1948. When he was one year old, he returned to Guangzhou with his father to do business. According to TVB's public reports, his ancestors were the head of the four major salt merchants, Xue Bailing, and his great-grandfather was Xu Yingzhi, a minister of Emperor Ci Xi. His aunt, Xu Guangping, was the wife of modern Chinese writer Lu Xun. Hui Sioo-sung once said, "Compared to them, it's true that a big tree has withered branches, and a large family has beggars. I am both a withered branch and a beggar, and I am really far behind them."
