Patrick Tam Yiu Man and Locker Lam Ka Hei played father and son in the new film FIGHT FOR TOMORROW (PING MING SAM LONG), in which they had many action scenes. Every punch landed in the fight scene between Tam Yiu Man nd Mark Cheng Ho Nam. He joked that the action scene did not stump him, but bluntly said that it would be more difficult physically; Lam Ka Hei was ordered to replace Ian Chan Cheuk Yin, who resigned from the film, 3 weeks before the start of filming. He said that he was not afraid of being compared, and he was very happy to have the opportunity to perform. For the Muay Thai scene in the film, he quickly achieved tip top shape within 3 weeks.

The new film FIGHT FOR TOMORROW (PING MING SAM LONG) told the story of Shek Sam Long, a mob boss who was no longer in the limelight. After meeting the son he has not seen him for many years, he unexpectedly made a comeback and the son was also inspired by his father to focus on Muay Thai. It was a story of two generations' FIGHT FOR TOMORROW against the tide during hard times. Director Chan Tai Lee once said that Tam Yiu Man was the best choice to play Shek Sam Long. Tam Yiu Man was grateful for the director's appreciation, and said that he has always looked forward to encountering a script based on the characters. He had only praises for his son Lam Ka Hei in the film, especially when he only had 3 weeks to prepare for the role.

Lam Ka Hei frankly said that he fit the role of a boxer physically. At the time he worked out and controlled his diet right away. Speaking of him as the last minute replacement for Ian Chan Cheuk Yin who resigned from the role, was he afraid of comparison now that the movie was released? Lam Ka Hei smiled and said, "At that time probably no one would remember, being a last minute replacement is exciting. I didn't think too much about it at that time. instead of thinking about superfluous things, I was better off training in boxing Some say it's a good thing, but it doesn't matter if no one talks about it. It's not the point!" Tam Yiu Man said that he has been the so-called "second choice" and felt that since fate has come to him, he had to grasp it well. He praised Lin Jiaxi for doing a very good job.

Speaking of the father-son relationship in the film, both of them said that their fathers belong to the "silence is golden" type; usually they are very cool, but when they lose their temper they are very shocking. Lam Ka Hei revealed that Papa once was so mad that he threw out his computer and bicycle to the street. "When I was in elementary school, I didn't go home after midnight, and I have skipped school." Tam Yiu Man revealed that he too has skipped school. He knew that he was in trouble and did not go home until 10 o'clock, but who knew that his father had not been asleep yet. He yelled at him so hard that he lost all dignity, so he went to sleep at the park for a few hours. Finally he gave in and returned to home. However he joked that his son was not like him, so well-behaved, smart and self-disciplined.
