"Fei Fei" Lydia Shum Din Ha has passed away for 5 years already. Yesterday was Fei Jeh's 68th birthday and ALWAYS LOVE LYDIA CONCERT took place at the Hong Kong Coliseum. Fei Jeh's friends gathered to remember her. Yesterday guests in the audience included Deborah Li and her husband, Mrs. Alan Tang Kwong Wing and her daughter, Fei Jeh's sister also returned from Canada to participate.

Last night the hosts were Carol Cheng Yui Ling, Eric Tsang Chi Wai and Nat Chan Pak Cheung. When the concert opened Fei Jeh's past performances were shown. Then the hosts remembered their experience with Fei Jeh. Do Do remembered that when Fei Jeh presented an award at the 2007 TVB Anniversary Award, at the time she was already ailing and had to appear on the stage in a wheel chair. Yet when she spoke she still was full of energy and said that she would not easily give up her performance career. Ah Lek has always boasted about himself, but with Fei Jeh he would only admit to be in second place because Fei Jeh was also first. Chi Wai remembered when he was misbehaving Fei Jeh smacked him in the head and yelled at him. Only because Fei Jeh was next to him he was able to be a big kid. She was everyone's parent.

Performing guests aside from Friends of ENJOY YOURSELF TONIGHT also included the Grasshoppers, Miriam Yeung Chin Wa, Jacky Cheung Hok Yau, Liza Wang Ming Chuen, Richie Jen (Yam Yin Chai), Frances Yip Lai Yi and Kit Chan Kit Ling. The Grasshoppers opened the show with LET'S KEEP SMILING (YUT YU GAI JOOK SIU). They shared their experience with Fei Jeh. Nancy Sit Ka Yin and David Lo Dai Wai performed in the costumes of Fei Jeh and Roman Tam (Law Man)'s singing duo. Wu Fung dressed up like Fei Jeh and rapped, Chi Wai even reprised Fei Jeh's egg stepping classic performance, but he crushed all the eggs. When Friends of EYT performed Gossip Street they each talked about Fei Jeh's life. Lo Hoi Pang revealed that Fei Jeh was much more foul mouthed than she was, "When Shum Din Ha tested the mic, even Lo Hoi Pang has to sit down". Yeung Chin Wa thanked Fei Jeh for her blessing back then. She performed the Fei Jeh fan adaptation of her song YEUNG CHIN WA, SHUM DIN HA. The lyrics was about Fei Jeh's inner world and happy personality. Cheung Hok Yau two nights two nights ago performed many songs, aside from FEI JEH he also performed LIGHTLY TOUCH YOUR FACE because Fei Jeh liked the song.

Tsang Chi Wai pointed out that Fei Jeh's dream was for Joyce Cheng Yun Yi to inhert her talent, art and professionalism. Over the years everyone has seen Yun Yi's hard work and improvement, so Fei Jeh definitely would not be disappointed. He said to Fei Jeh, "Relax, Yun Yi will be able to spread your spirit and use this stage as proof." Yun Yi sat on Fei Jeh's trademark giant glasses and appeared in mid air. She said that when her mother passed away in 2008 she could not accept the fact, and she thanked those around her when encouraged and helped her at the time. She also remembered that her mother said whether at age 8, 18 to 80 she still had to accept challenges. Last night Yun Yi performed in the finale and was responsible for 20 minutes of the performance. She also shared details of her life with Mommy.

Yesterday afternoon when she attended the worship ceremony she said that she was the most afraid of talking, during rehearsal she broke down twice. As for her father Adam Cheng Siu Chau, Yun Yi said that he was not in Hong Kong. Thus she would tape the program for him. Chau Guoon even asked her if she needed any help and her family took turn to cheer her on. As for the rumors of her plastic surgery, Yun Yi joked that lately she has not been to Japan or Korea but she was happy that people thought she was getting prettier. She also cherished the looks that her parents gave her; when she grew older she might consider fixing the bags under her eyes. She also said that socket nose, Dumbo ears and buck teeth were trademark Cheng Yun Yi!
