Ti Lung, Gordon Lam Ka Tung, directors Jacob Cheung Chi Leung and Joe Cheung Tung Cho and others went to the Hong Kong Cultural Center the night before to attend the "Restored Treasures -- THE KID" event. Erickson Ip Ching Lan, who played Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing's son in the movie, also appeared.

As soon as Ti Lung and Lam Ka Tung met, they chatted endlessly. He told Ka Tung to take good care of his health. In a semi-retired state in recent years, Ti Lung was asked if he would focus on taking care of his grandchildren. He laughed and said that he is now "micro retired". "If the time is right and the script is good, I will still want to make films again. Because if I retire for too long I will be rusty, and being rusty is like being irresponsible for the work. That's not good, so I have to keep it hot!"

Regarding the restoration of THE KID (LAU SING YU), Ti Lung sincerely thanked the group of advocates behind the scenes. "This movie has no explosion scenes or gunfights, it is mainly about family, and also a piece to remember Gor Gor (Cheung Kwok Wing) by." In addition to THE KID, Ti Lung and Gor Gor have also collaborated on many classic movies. When asked which one he has hoped would be restored again, he said that he would leave it to fate, Lam Ka Tung joked, "I haven't been the boss for a long time (A BETTER TOMORROW (YING HUNG BOON SIK))." Ti Lung smiled and nodded when he heard this.

Lam Ka Tung talked about his memories from the production. He pointed out that he was still working at the TV station in 1993. Brother Lung (Ti Lung) was filming JUSTICE BAO in the studio next door, and he was with Alex Man Chi Leung (Man Ji) at that time. He heard Brother Lung and Man Ji chatting, so he listened next to them like a child nd at the time same learned a lot. Brother Lung called him "Tung Dee" because of this. He said that the two did not share many scenes in THE KID and hoped to have the opportunity to work together in the future. Ti Lung praised Lam Ka Tung for breaking new ground in filmmaking after leaving TVB, both as a producer and challenging different roles; which opened up many directions for himself. In particular his performance in HAND ROLLED CIGARETTE (SAU GUEN YIN) had both depth and variations. Ti Lung also praised Lam Ka Tung for caring about his seniors and asked him if he has visited the "Se Gor" Patrick Tse Yin recently? Lam Ka Tung revealed that Sei Gor is in good health, has even quit cigars and is very healthy.

In addition, Lam Ka Tung mentioned that he collaborated with "Gor Gor" Cheung Kwok Wing and played his colleagues in the film. They had many scenes together. The heart to heart chat on the beach was even considered the romance of men. The two also became friends in private, and Gor Gor even acted as a driver and took him home. "At the time I lived at Clearwater Bay. Because my license was suspended I didn't drive, Gor Gor often gave me a ride home. Once he even drove me to an elder's home to play mahjong, but his sports car only had two seats. I had to sit in the dog seat spot. The opportunity to have so many interactions with the superstar off screen was very rare, and was a great memory."

Playing Gor Gor's son in THE KID, Ip Ching Lan is already an adult. He called Gor Gor "Ah Wing" in the film and left a deep impression. He pointed out that his movie was made 27 years ago. He remembered the most on scene in which he and Gor Gor lay on the bed and touched each other's ears, and Gor Gor feeding him canned fish to get him to sleep. "I still feel a lot of emotions from watching this movie again. This opportunity was very wonderful, like I was dreaming." Later in ASHES TO ASHES (YIN FEI YIN MIT) he played Gor Gor and Anita Mui Yim Fong's son, then he never participated in film again. Why did he no longer act? He joked, "At the time I was so little it wasn't my decision. Papa and Mama handled it. As an adult I don't particularly resist acting, but I haven't had the opportunity. Currently I work in the healthcare industry."
