陳玉蓮:求心靈幸福
劉德華有善心且有靈性,我祝他除日常生活外,能追求精神、心靈上的幸福,這是我衷心給他的祝福。 / AppleDaily /

Just a few days ago, the chaotic scenes that media reporters at both Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong Airports were the cause of the famous Andy Lau’s locking hands with his long-time [since 1986] girlfriend, allegedly wife, Carol Zhu. Details are covered at many Andy Lau’s fans sites like Andy Town, AndyLauSounds, etc.

The whole event has shed some light on the relationship of Mr. Lau and Ms. Zhu, which had been long speculated by media and unconfirmed by the couple.  The crazed media coverage of the event leads to many fellow artists showing their full support for Andy and it seems no surprise for many of them. Idy Chan, who had always been linked to Andy due to their perfect pairing in the TVB classic ROCH1983, but has long been moving on from romantic relationships and now spiritually worships. Via the phone, she expressed “Andy Lau isn’t just a regular artist, he is a kind-hearted, yet spiritual man, if what we see is true, I just want to wish them the best of every single day, spiritually and mentally well, this is my heartfelt blessing to Andy.”

Side Note: Idy has signed an autograph for me. Just wanna show off. Thank you Miss Chan, and especially thanks to Hu-Yi. Click here to view.

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”.

(Will you get Botox treatment?) No, I refer natural, and don’t use much make up nor have any special diet.” (Are you afraid of aging?) Everyone is afraid, so I wouldn’t have Botox, just let it natural.”

Last night [29th], many stars appeared at Hong Kong Concert Hall for “The 18th Drama Awards” by HK Federation of Drama Societies, and special guests for event were veteran actress Rebecca Pan, Paul Chun, Lau Siu Ming, Virginia Lok, Idy Chan, Angela Tong, Ella Koon, Eric Suen, Hins Cheung, Chet Lam, etc.  Apparently, many actresses  put a lot of thought into their sexy dresses and beautiful outfits for the night. Long-time-no-see Idy Chan appeared in a simple suit but full in style and charisma, keeping her stature well, and still looking good.
