Lately, the semi-retired Idy Chan has been waking up everyday to volunteer with great enthusiasm. She went to Sichuan last year and stayed over 2 months to help to those less fortunate earthquake victims. Idy said “I’m the goodwill ambassador for this charity called ‘Stand Up’, the purpose is to raise money for those limping earthquake victims. We cooperate with students at Christian Zheng Sheng College (CZSC), together we participate in many charitable events.” Besides her high spirit in serving the community, she’s been working with RTHK to shoot a 10-episode series focusing on the stories of people throughout Hong Kong. She playfully shared “RTHK is known for their fairness, I don’t mind working for them. This program requires me to travel to every corner to collect stories to tell. So I have to keep myself updated with current events, including the controversial story on CZSC, only everything goes smoothly so I can finish this special program.”

Idy Chan has been active again in the circle and traveling everywhere. News reporters aren’t familiar with her, and often asking for business card and telephone for future contact. Idy has developed a new habit, not only she exchanges business cards with reporters, but also requests to take pictures with them. Why is that? Because she wants to make sure which reporter when contacted, remember that they’ve met, recognize the reporter, and will able to communicate better with ease.
Note: This article is part of the opinion column of TheSun, which loosely translated as “Explode Hall”
[There’s more but the article is written mostly in informal Cantonese, and the tone is quite sarcastic. So help me to translate it if you can. Thanks]

陳玉蓮放聲氣想拍古裝戲 
【19:34】2009年07月05日 【on.cc專訊】 陳玉蓮出席好友肥媽的家庭用品店「肥媽店」開張活動，透露希望復出拍攝古裝動作片，因古裝動作片的世界中，鏡頭下拍攝得很優美，故希望所有動作電影的導演可以找她演出。問到會否希望與周潤發合作，她說對方希望的話自己也希望。
Idy Chan, 草蜢 Grasshopper trio, Wong Ka Keung, Chan Chi Keung, Soler brothers, EO2, and etc. come to show support for their friend Maria Cordero, who just opens a household goods store in Tseung Kwan O, and plans to expand up to 20 stores in next 3 to 5 months. Idy and Maria have known each other for many years, asked if she has any interest in doing business? She said there’s restaurant business in Shanghai, and already have many locations, and mostly managed by family members. She used to go Shanghai and helped out too, but in recent years, she’s been practicing self-cultivation. She’s responsible for the designs and uniforms for employees. She said there’s an offer for her to do a costume drama, but she had to return to Canada. And lately many mainland productions have roles for her. Asking on if she’s asking for high fees? Idy said, “No, now acting for me is not about money.” She wishes to make an action costume drama, not afraid of hard work, and hopes that action actors and directors will appreciate her skills.
Asked if she has ever thought of working with Chow Yun Fat, she said “We never actually worked together at all. If he wishes to cooperate, then I could also wish the same”.

Idy Chan and several friends led the charity mission to Sichuan and spent over 2 months helping the children in many areas affected by the earthquake like Beichuan, Dujiang and Mianyang. Earlier Idy said “We went to many poor places that in need a lot of help, and it’s really fate that we were able to raise money to buy books for the children to study, if there’s a child gifted in acting, I really can help him to enter the showbiz”
Idy expressed concerns that many of the earthquake victims still haven’t yet received the aide with the amount of 250 CNY [~36 USD] per person as promised by the government.
Chow Yun-Fat recently has released a book of photographs for sales and the proceeds will be donated directly to help the victims of the Sichuan earthquake, “If he invites me [to the photo exhibition], I would go, I believe everyone has their own ways to help, doesn’t matter if giving money if one can afford, or sharing the work if can do.” (Appreciating his work?) “I’ve always appreciated him, he’s good person and nice to everyone. I remember back in the TV days, he’d treat colleagues to meals.”
And to elaborate on the earlier report: Muddy roads and rainy conditions didn’t stop Idy go to Lueyang to check in with the children and the plans to help them. Idy and friends have planned out to sponsor about 8 children from the age of 8-18 years old with their joint contributions. Idy even had to introduce herself to the children “Do you know who I am?” “Yes, you’re Little Dragon Girl auntie”, the children answered in unison.
