The Nick Cheung Ka Fai written, directed and starred film PEG O' MY HEART (SHOOK MUNG) headed toward HK$ 9 million at the box office after two weeks in release in Hong Kong. The day before yesterday, he and Terrance Lau Chun Him went to Taiwan to promote, and were surprised by Jacky Cheung Hok Yau and Eddie Peng Yu-Yan. Cheung Hok Yau sent flowers and recorded congratulations, and Peng Yu-Yan prepared bubble tea, pineapple cakes and other delicacies for them. Cheung Ka Fai has been promoting the movie all over in recent months. A few days ago, a video of him giving a lecture to a fan was circulated on the Internet. He received online praises for his patience to explain to the fan, saying that he should not take extreme behaviors if he could not get autographs and photos.

Cheung Ka Fai and Lau Chun Him played Choi Sun Keung and Dr. Man respectively in PEG O' MY HEART, which became the favorite characters of many online. After promoting the movie HELIOS in Taiwan 10 years ago, Cheung Ka Fai felt intimate when he set foot in this familiar place again. The most surprising thing was the support of his "older brother" Cheung Hok Yau and his disciple Peng Yu-Yan; Hok Yau was holding a concert in Taipei, and learned that "younger brother" Cheung Ka Fai came to Taiwan to promote. He also specifically recorded congratulations even when he could not appear, joked that he was afraid that this "younger brother's" Mandarin was not good enough, and asked the on-site master of ceremonies to help translate. He left Cheung Ka Fai not knowing whether to cry and laugh. Hok Yau even described the tension of the "Younger Brother's" work as Hitchcockian and congratulated Cheung Ka Fai on the success of the film, which flattered Cheung Ka Fai.

The disciple Eddie Peng Yu-Yan knew that the Master had a tight schedule and did not have time to taste Taiwanese food, so he thoughtfully sent bubble tea and pineapple cakes. Cheung Ka Fai took the opportunity to make fun of Peng Yu-Yan, who was recently photographed traveling with a female companion. "Congratulations to him, some photos on the Internet prove that he is not gay. It turns out that he also has a girlfriend, and I am happy for him". The event designed two pillows in the shape of Choi Sun Keung and Dr. Man for them, and Cheung Ka Fai and Lau Chun Him had fun at the expense of each other.

In an interview Cheung Ka Fai said that he has contacted Jacky Cheung Hok Yau, "I said that I was coming to Taiwan but I couldn't watch your concert, and he said that he also wanted to come and watch the film. I said don't you come here; with too many people you may catch the flu, then I would be in big trouble. With so many people who have bought concert tickets, I can't afford it." He revealed that Cheung Hok Yau insisted on asking about the time and place of the premiere, so he guessed that he was the one who sent the flowers. Cheung Ka Fai said that the movie was about dreams, and he liked to dream very much. He often dreamed of happy things. Would he accidentally hit his wife Esther Kwan Wing Ho while dreaming? He laughed and said, "She hit me once, I don't know if she was intentional or pretending to be asleep. I thought about it for a while, but I still believe that she didn't mean to." Lau Chun Him bared his back in the film. He did not deliberately get into shape before filming, because he thought it was a natural thing. However the camera was fixed on his rear during the shoot. Cheung Ka Fai rushed forward to cover up the screen as soon as he saw it, so as not to let even more people see it. He said, "He is so good, if I don't stand up when something happens to him, I won't be righteous enough!" Speaking of Louis Koo Tin Lok's right eye retina issue, Cheung Ka Fai said that the medical science is advanced, it might be a small problem. No one would need to worry too much.

In addition, a video of Cheung Ka Fai admonishing fans earlier went viral. In the clip he was seen getting into the car and leaving after completing the publicity. Fans approached and asked for autographs and photos, when they were unsuccessful they conducted extreme behaviors. Seeing this, Cheung Ka Fai patiently explained to the fans. He said that he was grateful for the support, but sometimes the situation would not permit him to sign autographs and take photos. No one should conduct any extreme behavior. He said, "If people say they can do what you want, then you go crazy. We can't act like this! When we work in society, we would encounter something that doesn't go our way everyday. This way doesn't work, do you understand?" He asked the fan to understand before agreeing to sign an autograph; the fan finally said, "Thank you". The video of "teaching fans" has received positive responses online, praising him for his patience in reasoning with fans.
