Yung Mei Ling  made her first TV commercial in 1982: Kao Hair Conditioner.  This is Yung Mei Ling's dialogue in the advertisement:

 "Shirt hair, electric hair and even sun exposure will cause the hair to split and break. After shampooing, use "Kao Conditioner" on the hair and massage it gently on each strand. Add an extra layer of protective film to the hair, moisturize and protect the hair, prevent split ends from breaking, and the hair will naturally be beautiful!" [心] "Kao Conditioner, protects my hair and protects yours."

翁美玲1982年第一個電視廣吿：花王護髮素 
這是阿翁在廣吿中的對白：“ 恤髮、電髮、甚至太陽曬，都會令頭髮開叉折斷。洗頭後，用“花王護髮素”，在頭髮上輕輕按摩，每條頭髮都加多一層保護膜，滋潤及保護頭髮，防止開叉折斷，頭髮自然就靚啦！”“ 花王護髮素，保護我嘅頭髮，又保護你嘅頭髮。”

    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.
