The program is a weekly variety Show called "Generation Show" by the ShenZhen TV station. The shows have guests from the 1960,70',80',90 and 2000' era. There are competitions, musical performances, fashion show, talk show along with images and objects. The one with Kenneth Tsang talking about Yung was aired on the 28th June 2014.

The man sitting with white hair is Kenneth Tsang. He is an actor. He was casted as Wong Rong's father in LOCH. The following is what he said in the interview.
Quote:
=================
In 1983, I was forty-five years old while Yung was about twenty. I played the role of her father in LOCH. TVB had finalised among thousands applicants  three possible persons to play the role of Wong Rong and I was the one to audition the three.
Yung was from England and a foreigner to me. I recommended her and finally TVB did pick her to play the role of Wong Rong. Wong Rong is a girl with clever personality and there is no way she would listen to what her father had told her on things not to do.
There were so many Wong Rong characters over the years but I have to say she had remained the best.

=================
End quote.

    Finally, I visited her resting place in Cambridge back in late October 2025. Cleaned the area and pulled some weeds. It’s been 40 years, and nobody can replace her. Always wonder what she would become if she were still alive.

    It made no difference whether Jackie Chan spoke about Barbara or not. In fact, Jackie Chan appeared in several photos with Barbara, Kent, and her mother, and his wife, Joan Lin, was also photographed with Barbara on a few occasions. Barbara had already risen to fame on her own merit and exceptional acting talent. She was one of the fastest actresses to gain widespread recognition, and she did not need any endorsement from him. By the 1980s, she was regarded as an elite actress. Truly, she was a phenomenal performer—and she continues to be recognized and admired to this day.

    Thanks for the research and clearing things up Rob , I guess that Jackie only knew Barbara through promotional and charity events … They also never starred together in films / series …

    This is what ChatGTP says: There’s no known documented instance where Jackie Chan (成龍) has publicly mentioned Barbara Yung (翁美玲) in interviews, autobiographies, or other recorded statements. Searches through available English and Chinese sources do not find any credible quote, interview excerpt, or reliable record in which Jackie Chan talks about Barbara Yung by name. Summary There’s no credible documented evidence that Jackie Chan ever publicly spoke about Barbara Yung — either praising her, remembering her, or otherwise referencing her — in interviews or other primary sources available to date.
