South Korea's popular girl group ITZY member YUNA Shin appeared
in Hong Kong yesterday in fashion brand activities, along with Fish
Liew Chi Yu, Jay Fing Wan Him, Ryan Choi Chun Yin, Angus Yeung Tin Yue
and VIVA member Carina Li Hei Tung, etc., attracting a large number of
fans to fill the streets outside the store. Liew Chi Yu won the Hong
Kong Film Awards Best Actress this year, with fame and fortune she
revealed that she has been busy rehearsing stage dramas recently.
She even revealed that her income is about 10 times more than ten years
ago.
Choi Chun Yin revealed that he was unable to meet Yuna
yesterday because he was late from practicing for the Asian
Championship and the World Championship. He praised Yuna's beauty,
laughed and said that she was much more beautiful than his friend Edan
Lui Cheuk On. He also advised Edan to stop dressing up like a woman
and take into account the audience's feelings.
Liew Chi Yu joked that her black lace look resembled a
character from the "ADDAMS FAMILY" and she really liked this look.
Recently busy rehearsing the stage drama "THE BIG BIG DAY", she happily
shared that she was in the happiest stage of life. "I am healthy, my
parents are healthy too, and all three sisters are doing what they
like. I get ample sleep every day and can make money." She revealed
that her income was ten times more than ten years ago, she wanted to go
to the next level but did not know where to start. "Usually making a
lot of money requires a business, but some fortune tellers advise me
not to do business because I trust people too easily. Even my
boyfriend (Siuyea Lo Chun Yip) said that I have not been cheated so far
out of good luck." Earlier winning the Best Actress, she returned to
her hometown of Malaysia to rest for 5 days after the award. She said
that Papa also went home from Indonesia for dinner. The family even
said that her relatives and friends have asked for her autographed
photos. Yet the funniest part was that she had to go to a film
developing shop to develop the photos. She did not expect that even
the owner of the film developing shop to congratulate her, which left
her very pleasantly surprised.
Sisley Choi says that she wants to focus on watching the World Cup and work has been temporarily "paralyzed". courtesy of mingpao.com
Sisley Choi Si Bui and 3 members of IdG Bubbles yesterday
attended a World Cup promotional activity at a shopping center. Si Bui
earlier completed the Stephen Chow Sing Chi directed soccer film
WOMEN'S SOCCER and said that this production drastically elevated her
passion for soccer. She also revealed that she has already accepted
new jobs, including musicals and new movies. She stressed that she
would need to focus on sprinting for her career, and that she would not
consider romance for a while.
Si Bui said that Papa was a standard soccer fan. When she was
a child, she loved watching matches and eating cup noodles with her
father in the early morning. She joked that eating cup noodles was her
purpose of watching the World Cup. As an adult Si Bui watched the
matches with her friends and studied the game. After she has finished
shooting Chow Sing Chi's soccer movie "WOMEN'S SOCCER" earlier, her
enthusiasm for soccer was greater improved.
As for when the film "WOMEN'S SOCCER" will be officially
released, Si Bui admitted that she did not know but would be looking
forward to receiving a notice. When she asked if she was afraid of the
movie becoming an "urban legend," Si Bui said, "No, I have confidence
in the director. It's a big production, and I've completed the voice
acting work." Speaking about her jobs later, Si Bui said that she has
accepted musicals and new films. Now she has begun to rehearse for the
musical, and the film will also start shooting this year. Referring to
her mother's early waist injury, Si Bui thanked everyone for their
concern and said that her mother was waiting for a review. She would
continue to take care of her mother during this time.

Kelly Lin returns to Hong Kong after 17 years courtesy of mingpao.com
MIRROR member Jer Lau Ying Ting is the lead actor of the new
film FINE DYING (BUT DUT BUT HO SEI, tentative title). After filming
earlier in Iceland, the art director Cheung Man's directing debut film
recently held a production start ceremony in Hong Kong. The cast in
addition to Jer was star studded, including Eason Chan Yik Shun, Athena
Chu Yan and Taiwan star Kelly Lin (Lam Hei Lui) who have not appeared
on the Hong Kong big screen for a long time, as well as Michael Ning
(Bak Ji) and Sheena Chan Shu Yan. Chan Yik Shun and Chu Yan's previous
film releases were in 2018. This time they played Jer's parents in the
film. Lam Hei Lui would star in the Hong Kong film again since the
2009 film WRITTEN BY (JOI SUN HO). The production team gave special
thanks to the 3 heavyweight actors for agreeing to perform and
physically supporting Hong Kong film.
Jer ushered in a big breakthrough in the film, playing the role
of a patient with rare melanoma skin cancer. In order to perfectly
present the characteristics of dark spots all over his body and face,
he had to accept spending a long time in special effect makeup every
day. When asked whether there will be pressure on this performance,
Jer said that the role was adapted from a true story of a cancer
fighter who has been told that he would die earlier and co-exist with
cancer for a long tine instead. The basis for the character provided a
lot of reference so that he could grasp the role even easier, so it is
not too much pressure. He also thanked the director for "calling in
many favors" and inviting many elders to help, and was very happy with
fulfilling his dream of working with his idol Chan Yik Shun. "The
director has invited so many pretty and sharp elders to take part in
this fil, every one is great at acting. From them I have learned a
lot I am very happy to be able to work with Eason. I have looked
forward to that in music for a long time already, but this time I
finally have a first collaboration. He even plays my Papa!"

After Beijing THE FURIOUS's martial art master all star
premiere was held in Hong Kong last night. Director Kenji Tanigaki,
producer Frank Hui Hok Man, stars Mo Xie Miao, Joe Taslim, Brian Le,
and Yayan Ruhian attended. Guests included Wilson Yip Wai Shun, Chin
Kar Lok, Angela Tong Ying Ying, Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho), Max Zhang Jin,
Yuen Wah, Yeung Pan Pan, Tsui Siu Ming, Philip Ng Wan Lung, German
Cheung Man Kit, Jeffrey Ngai Chun Sun and Andrew Pong King Fung
Director Kenji Tanigaki said in an interview that THE FURIOUS
was tailor-made for Xie Miao, because when the role was written he
already felt that he must find him to perform. He said that he has
known Xie Miao for many years, but has not had the opportunity to
collaborate. This time he felt that he fought very well, and also had
his own skills. He performed action scenes with sincerity, which would
definitely move the audience.
Regarding all the action in the film, Xie Miao said that the
production of every scene was not easy; especially the scene in which
he hit people with a hammer. During rehearsals he did not succeed at
all, then during the official shoot by luck it was successfully
complete. In another scene Xie Miao's daughter was taken away and he
chased after her. The director asked for one take to the end. In
order to make a good scene, he practiced running 3 days in advance to
achieve the best condition for the performance. The character in the
Xie Miao played had to fight against 15 people. He revealed that
although he has been making action films since the age of 9, he had to
keep training for many years. In addition, in the film he played a
mute, and relying on expression and action to perform was also
difficult to perform by expression action.
Started as a child star, Xie Miao has worked with Chow Yun Fat
on GOD OF GAMBLERS 2 (DOH SUN 2). Recently the two have met again.
Did he invite Fat Gor to watch the premiere? He said he would invite
Fat Gor to enjoy the film when it would be officially released.
When he worked with Fat Gor on the movie he was only 10 years old.
After 32 years they reunited. He admitted that he was very touched
to see Fat Gor because he had something he wanted to say to him, thank
him for taking care of him during filming his care, and give him an
important piece of advice in life -- to tell him to go back to school.
Did Fat Gor give him a HK$5,000 red envelope to encourage him to return
to school? He said, "The amount of money isn't important, it's the
thought that counts." Would he like to work with Fat Gor on another
movie? He smiled and said, "Of course, I can't ask for anything more."
Did he mention that when they met? He said that he had too much he
wanted to say at that time, but Fat Gor asked him if his mother came.
He thought at the time that he was already 42 years old and did not
need his mother to accompany him, perhaps he might still be a child in
Fat Gor's eyes.
As for Kenji Tanigaki, he recently worked as an action director
for the new film TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: THE FINAL CHAPTER (GAU LUNG
SING JAI JI JUNG JEUNG). He smiled and said that he was able to take
time from it to promote. Even recently while shooting TWILIGHT on
location in Tsim Sha Tsui East, despite knowing that he would be
constantly caught on camera he still deliberately wore "THE FURIOUS" T-
shirt to promote. Last night he asked the actors and the staff to come
to the film, if not they would have to buy their own tickets to watch
the movie. Was he worried about the box office? Kenji Tanigaki
admitted that the fights were very sharp, and due to the category III
rating he hoped that the audience who would be unable to watch the film
would watch it again when they would be older.

Cancer fighter and former Miss Hong Kong second runner up
Natalie Ng Man Yan (now Ng Yan Hei) fought bravely against cancer for a
long time but finally succumbed to the illness. Yesterday (9th) in the
early morning at the hospital she passed away in her sleep peacefully at
the age of 51. Her family announced the bad news through their
social media platform, confirming that she was admitted to the hospital
on the evening of June 7th, and the two daughters, family members and
close friends were by her side when she passed. The family also
thanked the outside world for their constant concern and support, and
implored the outside world to give space for the family to deal with the
aftermath and get through this difficult time. The two daughters
will be under the care of by her former husband Chan Kim Ling, and the
arrangements will be announced later.
This brave cancer fighter's life has come to an end, but her
toughness and tenderness would endure in the world. As early as August
2024, Ng Man Yan announced the news of breast cancer recurrence. At
the time the cancer cells have deteriorated to stage 4, and have spread
to the liver, bones and brain. Her condition was extremely critical.
Yet she never gave up, always facing the illness and pain with an
optimistic and strong attitude.
Ng Man Yan under the attack of chemotherapy and pneumonia went
back and forth to Shenzhen for treatment. Under the double blow of
divorce and sudden death of her father, her smile and courage still
were never obliterated. The family mentioned in the eulogy, "In this
journey of fighting cancer, Man Yan was always strong and brave. In a
limited time she did a lot that she has never even thought of, achieved
many dreams. At the same time her positive energy also affected many
on the same journey of facing the disease, with a positive attitude to
face the challenge of life."
Ng Man Yan's last public appearance was at the end of April at
the Grasshoppers' 40th anniversary concert. At that time she sat in
the front row and shook hands with Calvin Choy Yat Chi, and received a
hug and a kiss from Remus Choy Yat Kit in the audience as
encouragement. She was excited to post on the social platform
afterwards. "Thank you to the Grasshoppers for giving me a lot of
teenage memories, Choy Yat Kit also stepped off the stage to hug and
kiss me, I am super excited and a little flattered. Brother Kit, we
have to work hard together, let's go!" In the face of the medication's
side effects, Ng Man Yan first took care of her emotions as her words
were still strong and humorous. In May last year, Sammi Cheng Sau Man
specifically approached the audience at the Macao concert and said
softly to Ng Man Yan, "Let's go, don't be afraid!" At that moment she
burst into tears.
After the bad news came out, many artists and friends such as
Cheng Sau Man, Linda Chung Ka Yan, Carlos Chan Ka Lok, Shiga Lin,
Jennifer Yu Heung Ying left messages to mourn. Cheng Sau Man wrote,
"Rest in peace with The Lord rests, we will remember you." Miss Hong
Kong of the same pageant year, Anne Heung Hoi Lan even wrote to recall
their past. "A few days ago was the 28th anniversary of our 1998 Miss
Hong Kong pageant, when my heart suddenly felt uneasy.....If I
remembered to give her a phone call last week, maybe it would have been
the last time we talk." Heung Hoi Lan revealed she originally planned
to meet Ng Man Yan after completing her work but did not make it,
leaving only regret. She recalled that Ng Man Yan in the past was
always full of energy and a bright smile. She lamented the
impermanence of life, and advised for people to cherish those around
them.
"Nat Nat will always be our Lek Lek, and we are proud of her."
Her family wrote. Even if life was short-lived, Ng Man Yan's strength
and warmth have never dissipated. She faced suffering in adversity,
walked towards the light, fought illness and pain with a smile, and
inspired others with her experience. This perseverance will remain in
the hearts of the public forever.
"Unwilling to leave" two young daughters, aged 10 and 8 years
old respectively, she adopted a medical strategy of "casting a wide
net" in order to fight the illness. She went all over Hong Kong,
Thailand and Shenzhen in the mainland, was even willing to try medicine
as a "lab rat". Her will to survive was extremely tenacious. At the
beginning of this year her condition repeatedly deteriorated. She was
obviously thin when she appeared on a TVB program interview in early
March, and revealed that her condition of her chest has turned sharply;
not only did it emit the pus emit but also odor. In mid-March, after
she was examined in a hospital, she confirmed that the cancer had
spread to both sides of the brain, and the tumor was about 1 cm. In
the face of great fear, she collapsed in the middle of the night but
then chose to face with strong faith. She firmly said in the hospital
bed, "Heaven gave me an experience, I instead am very confident, I will
get better, I want to be a cancer survivor witness! I have to say to
fellow cancer fighters never give up. I too believe that I can get
better, definitely!" She also held a "living memorial event", as she
faced the fight with optimism.
On the long road to fight cancer, Ng Man Yan suffered not only
the pain of the flesh, but also the successive blows of fate. During
the cancer fighting period, she experienced the breakdown of her
marriage, divorced her ex-husband Chan Kim Ling, and successively moved
away from the mansion and sold the furniture online. Soon after she
suffered the bad news of her father's sudden death. With her strong
personality, she refused to bow to reality. After the news of cancer
was exposed, someone proposed to raise money for her but she refused.
Because the old insurance could not fully cover the huge expenses of
private hospitals, she went to the government hospital to queue up. In
order to raise medical expenses, she quietly sold all the gold ware
from when she got married, and went live online to sell her watch,
diamond jewelry and designer handbags she had bought in her early
years.
Ng Man Yan did not neglect to take care of her daughters due
to her illness, often taking them to after school activities,
performances and vacations. During the period she worked hard to chase
her dreams. Aside from publishing her autobiography REBORN BECAUSE OF
LOVE, she also fulfilled her singer dream and released her first
single REBORN. At the end of last year she even won the Metro Hit
Awards "Hit I Support Rookie" Award.
Kearen Pang Sau Wai and Ng Man Yan have known each other since
they were 6. Yesterday she posted a story with a night scene photo
and the Korean American Sam Ock's song THIS MOMENT HERE WITH YOU and
the video of Ng Man Yan surprising her at Commercial Radio.
