Li Linlin and Patra Au Ka Man yesterday attended an audience appreciation event for their film ALL SHALL BE WELL (CHUNG GUM YI HAU) and shared their filming experience. Li Linlin was happy that the movie had a good word of mouth. Returning to the film industry after 30 years, she felt lucky to run into a good team. She said that it is difficult to encounter three-dimensional characters, which gave her good memories in her decades-long film career. Au Ka Man point out that there have been very few such movies in Hong Kong, and she was very touched to see the story moved some male viewers to tears. "I once saw a big man who resembled Tai Bo, who cried in the middle of talking about it. I felt very moved inside."

Speaking of the kiss scene in the film, Li Linlin, who kissed a same-sex person for the first time, joked that it was "a virgin's first time at sea" so the kiss was very natural. "I looked into Ka Man's eyes and I was so moved even though I didn't even have to say the dialogue. I really wanted to thank her. At first it was just a light peck, but I felt it was not enough. I needed to thank this woman, I needed to kiss her again, and a big one!" She also said that this scene was worth it and she liked it very much because it showed real emotions. It was also the first time for Au Ka Man to kiss someone of the same gender. She described how sweet it felt at the time. She also said that she was passive and waited for Li Linlin to take the initiative. When asked if their kiss was very natural, she joked that it was not forced.
