After the concert to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing's passing, this year will also be the 5th anniversary of Lydia Shum Din Ha's passing. Her friends Eric Tsang Chi Wai, Liza Wang Ming Chuen, Jacky Cheung Hok Yau and others in order to express not only their infinite remembrance of her but also the need for Fei Jeh's laughter and positive energy to ease the numerous natural and man made disasters recently. Chi Wai thus invited Wang Ming Chuen, Cheung Hok Yau, Nat Chan Pak Cheung, Richie Jen (Yam Yin Chai), the Grasshoppers, Nancy Sit Ka Yin, Wu Fung, Cheung Tak Lan and others to the ALWAYS LOVE LYDIA concert on Fei Jeh's birthday on June 1st at the Hong Kong Coliseum.

Reportedly the concert will be in two parts, mainly Fei Jeh's friends would perform and share their stories about Fei Jeh. In the other part Fei Jeh's daughter Joyce Cheng Yun Yi will perform to fulfilled Fei Jeh's dream of her daughter to perform on the Hong Kong Coliseum stage. However the performance will not last longer than half a hour. In addition, guests who will perform with Yun Yi are being negotiated.

Yesterday the concert planner Mr. Tse said, "Fei Jeh's show will have more stars than Gor Gor's. A press conference will be held on the 29th. Hok Yau, Chi Wai, Wang Ming Cheun will attend." Will Fei Jeh's former husband Adam Cheng Siu Chau be invited to be a guest performer? He said, "We haven't thought about it, and no one suggested it. The goal of the show is to remember Fei Jeh. If Chau Guoon buys a ticket himself to watch, we welcome him." As for the concert profit, Mr. Tse said that they never thought about making money because due to the rough estimate even with a sold out show the event would still lose over HK$20,000. Thus they could only save on the production cost. he also thanked most of the superstars for performing without any salary. Chi Wai will donate any amount left to charity.
