The film LOVE NEVER ENDS (NGOR OI NEI!) two nights ago held a charity premiere. Leads Tony Leung Ka Fai, Cecilia Yip Tung and Jeana Ho Pui Yu attended in support. The film so far has reached 420 million RMB from its mainland release. Leung Ka Fai was pleased that this genre had such good box office, which truly was rare. Thus he hoped that Hong Kong viewers would also enjoy the movie because the social educational message the film brought out. Leung Ka Fai recently became a father in law. He revealed that his older daughter wed, but the joyous events would come in "double" because his younger daughter would soon wed as well. He hoped that he would be able to help with the grandchild while he was able to.

Speaking of Leung Ka Fai in the film had to play a 70 something old character, he joked that he was already very old and did not need to pretend. Yip Tung played a character who started to have old age onset dementia. She also joked, "For me it is also a huge challenge, I gave my all. Everyone on the trailer can see my make up and acting are very different from before. I have tossed away the beautiful baggage and can be very free. This is what actors are after, a new level in acting." Her white hair looked received praises from fans. Yip Tung stated that she did not deliberately do it, instead it achieved an effect; just the good word of mouth that came out were also not deliberate. Thus the most important was having heart. Also, Yip Tung and her husband Chan Kwok Fun just celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary. She said, "Everyday is an anniversary for us, actually it was just an ordinary dinner."

Leung Ka Fai recently has become a father in law. He revealed that his older daughter has wed, but the joyous events would come in "double" because his younger daughter would also soon wed. He would try to marry his daughters off "as soon as possible". Ka Fai appeared to be very happy. He said that he has always been happy in his life, even more so at the current stage. Was he happy that he would become a grandfather soon? He said, "I hope, while I still can help with the grandchild." Would he reduce his workload to spend time with his grandchild? He joked that he already had no work and had to eat banana peel, only worked as a domestic worker who did everything at home. Everyday he poured tea, delivered water but did not have to scrub anyone's back. Soon he would have to be an escort. Yip Tung said that later she would work on a revival of the play KING LEAR in Shanghai with an all female cast and no dialogue, thus it would be an enormous challenge. Ka Fai has not performed a play for a very long time. He joked that now he wanted to watch and not perform. Yip Tung joked that for him "everyday life was the stage". Ka Fai smiled and said that so far he still has been able to stand on the stage, which truly has been his honor.

Ho Pui Yu has settled in Beijing during the pandemic years. Earlier she even accepted physical training at the Jackie Chan Stunt Team's training class. For ten days in a row she trained for seven hours everyday, mainly for her two upcoming films and a series. Because all were crime subjects, she had to learn to hold a rifle. Now she has already gotten toned, even has bicep muscles on her arms. Soon she would return to Hong Kong for half a year for the productions. Her neighbor and friends would take care of her dog in Beijing. Recently Beijing had a severe flood, Ho Pui Yu revealed that her Beijing home has not been affected but some friends in the business were affected and had to stop working. On this return to Hong Kong, her friends all asked her to dinner to catch up. Because of her hard work earlier, she would not permit herself to appear bloated on camera.
