[still looking for this clip – related to the passing of Austin Wai – i think]

The video in which cast of “Silver…” rehearsed dancing, I noticed at the end that Ben mentioned Idy has returned to HK and will join them to perform a skit for this TVB event, I was like “Good for her, good for us – the fans” haha! Finally, she seems to be involved in the “promotion” for the drama. Though, it’s going to be hard for me in next few months to keep up with news and videos. If anyone finds anything, particularly video clips that involved Idy and don’t see it posted here on A5, please let me know. Thanks and Cheers 🙂

At the interview for TVB program “Best Actor” 《最佳男主角》 hosted by Luisa Maria Leitão 黎芷珊 this week featuring Tony Leung 梁朝偉, Anthony Wong 黃秋生, and Andy Lau 劉德華. Once again, Andy answered on his relationship with female artists in the circle like Anita Mui 梅艷芳, Rosamund Kwan 關之琳, and Idy Chan 陳玉蓮. He said “I did tell Idy my feelings, but she simply just gave me a smile.” Later he gave up knowing Idy was dating Chow Yun Fat 周潤發. “She could have been my girlfriend” he expressed.

In the afternoon on Sep 22nd after just returning from Tibet, Idy Chan immediately rushed to a cosmetic center in Guangzhou. As it’s already winter in Tibet, and still wearing a thick leather jacket, she had no time to take it off to get ready for the grand opening of “Meien Medical Aesthetic Hospital of Guangzhou”. At the event, Idy was quite interactive with the fans on answering questions about beauty, however the focus of the talk was about the girl name Hua Yanwen whose face was genetically masked with big “mole” on 2/3 of a cheek and often bullied by peers. After the ceremony, the “Love Clinic” established and the manager together with Idy presented the girl $10,000RMB and free of charge for her first treatment at the center.

Idy also briefly mentioned her role in the upcoming “Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles” 名媛望族 “The character is quite resentful, just reading the scripts alone made me want to cry, and there’s crying in almost every scene.”

It’s believed that Andy has agreed to film a drama for TVB with Eric Tsang’s 曾志偉 pursue, and it seems that Chow is also in the talk to film for TVB also. It’d be great if Idy be part of these dramas as a guest cameo. In the meanwhile, I’m impatiently waiting for the airing of “Silver…”

After finishing reporting from Yushu earthquake struck area, reporter came to Qinghai–Tibet Autonomous Region to meet up with Idy Chan for an interview. Idy along with 4 others drove directly from Guangzhou with one main purpose: charity. For the past decade, Idy and entourage have been involved in spontaneous work of going to remote areas to help poor people. Their main goal is helping local children with food, clothes and shelter, so driving is the most convenient way to go directly to the locations.

Next stop will be Tibet, then Xinjiang, there they’ll need to 1000 jackets for the children at orphanages. Then Shaanxi, Shanxi, and then will return to “camp” in Guangzhou around Oct or Nov. It’s almost the same over the past few years, they set out the mission in Spring because the roads would be safer and return home in the Fall because of colder weather.

Idy Chan expressed that she has changed a lot from doing charity over the years and able to “let go of myself”; very content and gaining a lot of perspective on life.

According to Weibo, the premiere date to air “Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles” is Oct 22.

With Idy takes break from her work during the fall and winter months, hopefully we’ll get to see her involved more in events for the new drama this time. Let’s hope….

Today I found out about the passing of a friend, who I got to know years ago at an old TVB series forum, which eventually led him to joining us at CYLO Discuz Board, and became part of the fans. I’m shocked and saddened to know that he’s passed away since early this year. This post dedicated to him.

Terry Leung, former senior reporter for MingPao Weekly, who is now working for HK Radio CR1, shared a photo dining with Idy the other night [6/1]. He indicates that he won’t be able to interview her until she will return, probably in October. [Wow… Idy is really committed to her charity mission in China]
