Vincent Kok Tak Chiu's older sister, veteran film
producer Linda Lam Kuk Mei Lai earlier passed away in her sleep at age
72. Yesterday her family began services for her at the Hong Kong
Funeral Parlor with a Catholic ceremony. The hall was decorated in
white with a "Forever Missed" banner across the top. At the center of
Lam Kuk Mei Lai's husband Lam Kwing Chee's pink heart shaped wreath,
with daughters' wreaths on both sides. The monitors played many
photos, including photos of her wedding, family, and everyday life,
reliving the life of Lam Kuk Mei Lai with family and friends. Her
photos with many friends in the business like Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing,
Cherie Chung Chor Hung, Chow Yun Fat, Maggie Cheung Man Yuk, Louis Koo
Tin Lok, and Simon Yam Tat Wah were included as well.
Lam Kuk Mei Lai had good connections with people in life. Chow
Yun Fat, Tony Leung Chiu Wai and his wife Carina Lau Ka Ling, Jacky
Cheung Hok Yau and his wife May Lo Mei Mei, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Sylvia
Changn Ai-chia, Ekin Cheng Yi Kin, Eason Chan Yik Shun's family,
Stephen Chow Sing Chi, Ronald Cheng Chung Kei, Ann Hui On Wah and Mabel
Cheung Yeun Ting all sent floral arrangements in condolences as a sea
of flowers appeared outside the hall.
Kok Tak Chiu arrived around 4:30 PM with girlfriend Kiki Lam
Tsz Huen, niece Jo Koo (Kuk Cho Lam) and several family members in
vehicles. They stopped for photos at the media's request but declined
any interview. Kok Tak Chiu simply thanked the media on behalf of the
family. Many in the industry paid their respect. Nansun Shi entered
with a cane and help from others. Peter Chan ho Sun and his wife
Sandra Ng Kwan Yu, Teresa Mo Shun Kwan and her husband Au Ting Ping,
Eric Tsang Chi Wai, Andrew Lau Wai Keung, Anselm Chan Mou Yin, Clifton
Ko Chi Sum, Teddy Robin Kwan and Winnie Yu Tseng also appeared.
Chung Chor Hung and Claudie Chung Chun arrived around 6:30 PM
at the funeral parlor. Chung Chor Hung smiled and waved at the cameras
but did not speak to the press. While waiting for the elevator she
appeared saddened as she lightly wiped away her tears. Tsang Chi Wai
arrived alone with a solemn look.
Tin Kai Man recalled meeting Lam Kuk Mei Lai while working
at RTV. Later when she joined the film industry, they met again
during the Cinema City era and have known each other for several
decades. He praised Lam Kuk Mei Lai as a great person, helping younger
generations without any doubt. Tin Kai Man has not heard of her having
any illness or pain. When he received the news of Lam Kuk Mei Lai's
passing he was shocked and saddened. "Fortunately I learned that she
passed away peacefully, without any pain. I have not seen her in
awhile." Around 8PM after the ceremony, everyone gradually left.
Chung Chor Hung's eyes and nose were all red from crying as she left
in a vehicle with Chung Chun. Nancy Sit Ka Yin stayed for around 20
minutes and her eyes were swollen from crying as well.

crisis unfolding two decades later.
Flashback to 1994, before Hong Kong s handover to China. As the
Special Branch of the Royal Hong Kong Police Force prepares to
disband, the kidnapping of a powerful business tycoon ignites a
dangerous covert power struggle within the force. Caught in the
conflict are two officers: the passionate and righteous M.B. Lee and
the cold-blooded and ambitious Peter Choi.
Four formidable factions the city's wealthiest family, the Poon's,
the police, the triads, and the British authorities are drawn into a
deadly vortex of ambition, betrayal, and hidden agendas. As old
alliances fracture and new ones form, Hong Kong stands on the brink of
a seismic power reshuffle that will cast a long shadow into the
future.

would star fresh out of the oven Hong Kong Film Awar Best Actress Fish
Liew Chi Yu, Michael NIng (Bai Ji) and Mak Pui Tung. Fish boldly
transformed in the film, playing the role of an anime fan otaku with a
"slow turnover". She deliberately dyeing bright blue hair and bleaching
eyebrows for the character, the look was completely different from the
past. She had to wear an inflatable doll to dress up as the mascot of
the TV station, and was held hostage by Yukki Tai who suddenly broke
into the TV station.
Yukki Tai has been recognized for his work in the movie TIME
STILL TURNS THE PAGES (NIN SIU YUT GEI) and the drama LEFT ON READ.
Recalling the crazy plot in the film, he laughed and said that the role
was very close to the feelings of this generation of young people.
Sometimes when he ran into unfairness he would dare to be angry but
not to speak, and built a lot of helplessness and struggles internally.
He also said that it was his first time playing a major role in a movie.
He was under a lot of pressure, and he felt excited to be able to hold a
gun this time.

It was one day in late February, with the entrance exams over and
graduation just around the corner. Amid the government's increasingly
strict surveillance, the students of Class 3-E looked back on their
year with Korosensei.
Memories resurfaced the fading doodles they drew on Professor Bitch,
the special swimming lessons, the clashes with the students of Class
A, and Valentine's chocolates. The classroom bustled with nostalgic
conversations.
Meanwhile, during winter break, Korosensei was targeted by a group of
four assassins, but as always, he easily dodged their attacks. Later,
when he visited the izakaya they frequented to tease them, he ended up
saving the blind owner, Azusa, who was burdened with debt, and her
daughter Hotaru, from a certain incident.
Through this encounter, Korosensei once again strengthened his
resolve: to accept his fate, yet fulfill his duty as a teacher with
all his might until the very end.
Another day began as usual. The students of Class 3-E continued their
attempts to assassinate Korosensei before the school year ended, while
Korosensei, with a smile, deflected their attacks and praised their
growth.
And in the ending, the "graduation album" Korosensei's final task
reveals a glimpse of their future, leading into the series finale.

at the AsiaWorld-Expo last night with a large number of live singers,
but the award-winning singers Terence Lam Chun Him, Jason Chan Pak Yu,
and the group ERROR were absent. MIRROR and its members won 6 awards
total, with Anson Lo Hon Ting winning including the live audience
voted People's Music singer, song of the year and Male Singer silver
prize. Teammate Keung To won his first Male Singer gold prize; Ian
Chan Cheuk Yin won the Creative Singer silver prize, and MIRROR repeated
with the Group of the Year gold prize. Gin Lee Hung Ngai continued her
golden momentum as she repeated as Female Singer gold prize and with
WHITE NIGHT won top ten song of the year. Last night's award had many
guest performers, including CHILL CLUB award show debuts of Gigi Yim
Ming Hay, Andy Hui Chi On, 24 Herbs' Conroy Chan Chi Chung, finale guest
Louis Koo Tin Lok performed with ILUB, guy group ZPOT, Jace Chan Hoi
Wing and others performed his new song to bring the event to its climax.
MC Cheung Tin Fu opened the award ceremony with a performance of
THE ONE FOR U, and sang "The Strongest in the Universe" with Edan Lui
Cheuk On and others. Stephy Tang Lai Yan, On Chan Kin On and others
followed. The theme of the whole night was "Pulse of the City", and
many singers also sang golden songs from different eras. Recently
released a new song, Andy Hui Chi On also sang his old work "Tumbling"
with MIRROR's Anson Kong Yip Sun (AK) and the two danced vigorously. On
Jai danced and sang "Rebound" with Alton Wong Chi Tak and girl group IdG
Bubbles, setting off the first climax of the night.
In addition, Marf, Winka Chan Wing Ka, Jer Lau Ying Ting, Cath
Wong Yin and CY Chan Chung Chak performed classic songs as a salute to
previous generations. Marf in a red lace corset and short skirt
performed FLAMING RED LIPS but was criticized online for needing to
improve her singing; Wong Yin and Chan Chung Chak performed Leslie
Cheung Kwok Wing's FAVORITE and Danny Chan Pak Cheung's CHEER, while
Winko performed Prudence Liew Mei Kwan's FINAL NIGHT; when Jer performed
Eliza Chan Kit Ling's PLATINUM ELEVATOR the response was the best. He
went from the audience then ran onto the stage again, almost going
through half the venue!
The entire evening's production was somewhat dull. Lacking
guest presenters, many online slammed the show for lacking new ideas.
Another highlight of the awards ceremony that night was when the
champion of TVB's "STARS ACADEMY" and now a member of Sony Music Gigi
Yim Ming Hay participated in a ViuTV show for the first time after
leaving TVB and performed VOYAGE. She also joined forces with the "KING
MAKER" "popularity king" who has just celebrated his birthday, Keung To,
to sing Gigi's new song "Colors in the Air" and Keung To's "Master
Class". However the two new generation singers in the music scene
collaborated for the first time, and their performance was restrained
and rarely interacted. Yet they also sang together as Keung To walked
closer to Yim Ming Hay, stared into each other's eyes, leaned his body
forward and shared a microphone. The scene was funny and Yim Ming Hay
flashed a smile after the performance. Keung To then performed Master
Class and Yim Ming Hay again performed with him. Meanwhile Anson Lo
performed with Taiwan singer Nick Chou.
MIRROR and 24 Herbs' Conroy Chan Chi Chung, J Brian Siswojo
(Lee Hoi Yin) and others performed together. 17 people of the two
groups performed RESPECT IS OK and WE ARE shoulder to shoulder, as
singers and viewers clapped and sang along. Actively releasing songs
recently, Louis Koo Tin Lok was the finale guest performer. While ILUB,
guy group ZPOT and Chan Hoi Wing performed, they performed Koo Tin Lok's
hit POPULAR THIS WEEK with an actor dressed like Koo Tin Lok on the
stage. The entire crowd screamed. As the camera turned, Koo Tin Lok
was siting in the audience, from where he walked to the stage and
performed his new song THE HOAX with the singers. The entire audience
screamed nonstop and brought the evening to its climax.
Lo Hon Ting repeated as the People's Music Singer of the Year
and the People's Music Song of the Year recipient. He thanked his
company his group and Disciples (his fan nickname). "I know I
still have many places like singing and dancing that could be done
before. Whether I would release slow songs or dance songs, I hope to
persist on doing what I like, continue to release more work of
different varieties for everyone. So everyone would remember I am
the Hong Kong singer who really likes to dance and sing Lo Hon Ting."
Lo Hon Ting praised his Disciplines as very powerful, very self-
disciplined as they maintained order with him. "THE TIME IS ALWAYS NOW
is a super positive energy song, we have to cherish and be an even
better person. The Time is always now for us, Disciples! Thank you
everyone!"
Keung To earlier announced that this year he would not release
another new song. Winning his first Male Singer gold prize, he said,
"Several days earlier I celebrated my 27th birthday. I feel if I have
to pick the hardest year in life, it would be this year when I was 26.
Luckily it has passed. Now I am a year older, I want to thank one
person. He is the one who has taught me what real love is, and turns
me into an even better person. I believe the 27 year old Keung To would
be even better than any other year's." MIRROR and its members won 6
awards, but did not win a top ten song. MC Cheung Tin Fu won the Male
Singer bronze prize and with IN DOUBT won a top ten song.
Gin Lee Hung Ngai after performing at the 25+ EMEPROR ALL STAR
CONCERT at the Kai Tak Stadium rushed to AsiaWorld Expo to accept the
Female Singer Gold Prize. She smiled and said that she braved the
rain and ran onto a vehicle to rush over. The journey was very long,
and felt like being a singer. "Running to this award stage isn't easy,
people may not know about the effort you contributed. Actually doing
your best is already enough, cherish every award." Female Singer silver
and bronze prize went to Panther Chan Lui and Marf Yau Yin Tung. Marf
happily said, "This is my first solo award, thank you all the members of
COLLAR."
Jay Fung Wan Fung won his first Creative Singer of the Year,
