# Gregory Charles Rivers

Gregory Charles Rivers (April 1965 – 2 February 2024), also known by his Chinese name Ho Kwok-wing (Chinese: 河國榮; Jyutping: Ho4 Gwok3wing4), was an Australian–Hong Kong actor. He was known for his roles in various TVB series, and was dubbed "TVB's token gweilo" (white person) for his frequent appearances as stereotypical Caucasian characters.

## Early life and education

Rivers was born in Gympie, Queensland, in April 1965. He attended medical school at the University of New South Wales, where he became friends with students from Hong Kong who introduced him to Cantopop. He began teaching himself Cantonese by listening to Cantopop cassette tapes while reading the printed lyrics and looking up Chinese words in a dictionary.
Rivers chauffeured Cantopop singers Leslie Cheung and Alan Tam when they held concerts in Sydney during the 1980s. After dropping out from school in 1987, he moved to Hong Kong. Two weeks after he landed, he ran into some of Tam's band members and was invited to sing with him.

## Career

As a debutant with a modicum of Cantonese, Rivers auditioned and was chosen for a Caucasian role at Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB). Rivers adopted the Chinese name Ho Kwok-wing, the surname Ho meaning "river" and the given name Kwok-wing after his idol Leslie Cheung. He went on to become "TVB's token gweilo" (white person) for two decades.
In 2005, Rivers appeared on stage in an opera production playing the role of Teresa Teng's boyfriend.
In October 2007, Rivers was one of four non-Chinese TV actors featured in an in-depth interview and feature story titled "Hello Neighbour" in Muse, discussing his sense of cultural identity and how he viewed his work.
Rivers quipped that he was "TVB's token Caucasian for 20 years straight", having played many stereotyped roles in more than 300 dramas for TVB. Rivers' contract with TVB ended in 2007.
Rivers also worked as an English dialogue coach for Hong Kong and Chinese actors, notably Chow Yun-fat in Dragonball Evolution (2009).
In January 2016, Rivers was awarded "Best Hong Kong male singer" at the satirical "TVMost 1st Guy Ten Big Ging Cook Gum Cook Awards Distribution" (毛記電視第一屆十大勁曲金曲分獎典禮), a parody of TVB's Jade Solid Gold Best Ten Music Awards Presentation. The award was given for his song "Forever ATV" (亞視永恒), which made fun of the apparent government support for Asia Television despite its expiring broadcasting licence. In addition to "Forever ATV", Rivers also performed a parody of "Hong Kong Place" (香港地) at the ceremony, a Cantonese rap song about his love for the city.

## Personal life and death

Rivers married actress Bonnie Cheung in March 1989.
In 2017, Gregory was diagnosed with skin cancer after finding a swelling on the right side of his ear. He underwent surgery and remained cancer-free thereafter. In 2018, he was diagnosed with arrhythmia. His heart condition was so serious that he had to undergo two rounds of surgery, accumulating a debt of HK$800,000.
Rivers was found dead in his home in Tai Au Mun village on 2 February 2024 at the age of 58, in an apparent charcoal-burning suicide. His wife had died of illness a few months prior.

# Mexican divorce

In the mid-20th century, some Americans traveled to Mexico to obtain a "Mexican divorce". A divorce in Mexico was easier, quicker, and less expensive than a divorce in most U.S. states, which then only allowed at-fault divorces requiring extensive proof and lengthy court review. Celebrities who obtained a Mexican divorce include Elizabeth Montgomery (from Gig Young), Johnny Carson, Katharine Hepburn, Richard Burton, William S. Burroughs, Elizabeth Taylor (from Eddie Fisher), Marilyn Monroe (from Arthur Miller), Don Hewitt, Helen Kane, Marcia Clark, Charlie Chaplin (from Paulette Goddard), Jayne Mansfield (from Mickey Hargitay), Stanley Kubrick, Jill St. John (from Jack Jones), and Tom T. Chamales.
It was often referred to as a quickie (sometimes spelled quicky) Mexican divorce.

## Historical context

Mexico does not require spouses to be present at a divorce hearing; they can send a lawyer to represent them. This "fast-track" process is in contrast to American divorce procedures, which involve additional bureaucracy and added expense.
A state in the United States is not required to recognize the validity of a Mexican divorce obtained by one of the state’s residents, because the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the United States Constitution does not apply to foreign judgments. The State of New York is the only state that recognizes the validity of a Mexican divorce obtained by a New York resident, so long as the divorce is bilateral (i.e. both parties appeared in the proceeding).
In 1970, in accordance with a Mexican federal law recommendation, many courts stopped accepting divorce petitions from non-residents. In the period between 1970 and 2010, every state in the US passed legislation allowing no-fault divorce, so Mexican divorces are no longer necessary.

## In popular culture

The Mexican divorce is mentioned in the Jack Kerouac book On the Road.
"Mexican Divorce" is the title of a 1961 song by Burt Bacharach and Bob Hilliard, which was issued as single in 1962 by The Drifters. It is also the song where Bacharach first met Dionne Warwick, one of the background singers, for whom he would later write numerous top hits. The song would be remade by Ry Cooder on his 1974 album Paradise and Lunch and by Nicolette Larson on her 1978 album Nicolette. Mexican divorce is also referenced in the song "What Do You Want from Life?" by The Tubes and in the Tom Waits song "The Part You Throw Away".
A reference to a Mexican quickie divorce is also made in the episode "Up in Barney's Room" of The Andy Griffith Show (season 4, episode 10). Mexican divorces were also plot twists in several episodes of the legal drama Perry Mason.
A Mexican divorce and a subsequent marriage are the central plot device in the 1965 movie Marriage on the Rocks. The Mexican Government disliked the film's depiction of Mexico and banned the movie, and other Sinatra films, for presenting the country in a negative light.

Even before Lightning Warrior Raidy was available for sale, G-Collections had already revealed their plans to translate the sequel, Lightning Warrior Raidy II.

## Reception

In a review for Destructoid, Karen Gellender wrote: "So I'm probably not a good judge of this sort of thing, but my guess is that LWR is neither good hentai, or a particularly good dungeon crawler.... However, I couldn't in good conscience say that the title isn't entertaining. While it's very basic (think Etrian Odyssey without the mapping features), the actual gameplay is solid enough, and the artwork is attractive".

## Adaptations

A manga adaptation by Kazuma Sonsei was released in 2014.
