Philip  is 76 years old and is still full of vitality.  He remembers something of the past that he will never forget.

"At about 8 o'clock in the morning of May 14, 1985, I suddenly received a call from Karen saying that Yung Mei Ling had committed suicide!

At that time, I was so scared that I couldn't make a sound. I immediately told some reporters who were interviewing by TV station.

Everyone rushed to the Baptist Hospital. It was reported that those who arrived early also seen Yung Mei Ling 's body being brought in.

Her death was really shocking at that time. While interviewing, the media shed tears, revealing their true feelings and crying very sad. Reporters and Yung Mei Ling  were very intimate. they all liked her sweet smile and she was very kind to people. In the twinkling of an eye for 36 years, I think of the past and feel sorry!"

4月20日

日前見到陳欣健,他立即說,當年的《大丈夫》劇集,嘉倫、王鍾、黃樹棠都死曬,剩低我一個,好驚好驚!
今年76歲的Philip哥,依然好有生命力,反正每個人都要去,唔驚得咁多。

Philip哥提到嘉倫,令我想起一件永遠難忘的舊事。
1985年5月14日的早上約8時,突然接到嘉倫打來的電話說,翁美玲自殺了!
驚魂未定之際,又接嘉倫電話,翁美玲自殺死咗喇!當時真係嚇到唔出得聲,即刻手震腳震的打俾一些在電視台採訪的記者。
大家一仆一碌趕到浸會醫院,據報早到醫院的,還和翁美玲的遺體擦身而過。
跑台的記者和翁美玲私交甚篤,大家都喜歡她甜美可愛的笑容,對人又很親切無架子。
她的死當時真係好震撼,傳媒一邊採訪一邊流下眼淚,真情流露,哭得非常傷心。
轉眼36年,想起往事,唏噓不已!

當年好老友的嘉倫,在天國好嗎?是否繼續做你的型仔探長?

    Now I also wonder what Maggie Cheung’s memories are of Barbara…!!? After Barbara passed away Maggie took over her role in “The Feud that never was “ and also her fame/ stardom ….

    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.

    They probably did cross paths , there are photographs proving that AND Jackie was at Barbara’s funeral in 1985 …..!! But like you , I also wonder what Jackie’s memories are about our idol Barbara …
