Barbara Yung Is an Easygoing Person
Sunny with Occasional Clouds and Showers
The phrase "sunny with occasional clouds and showers" is most fitting for describing Barbara Yung. Because Barbara’s temper comes and goes quickly, but her greatest virtue is that she never holds grudges. Once she’s vented, it’s over.
She and Kent Tong are like a bickering pair of lovebirds—always quarreling. On one side, Barbara sheds tears at the airport; on the other, Kent remains silent and angry. Outsiders would be mistaken to think their relationship is in trouble. No matter how intense their arguments, they reconcile within twenty-four hours.
Now, the public has grown accustomed to their on-and-off quarrels. No one anxiously advises Barbara to take it easy anymore. After all, every relationship goes through ups and downs, and handling them well can even add a touch of romance.
Recently, rumors have been circulating that Sandra Ng has come between them, likely because of their frequent arguments.
Sandra Ng is only eighteen this year, a trainee in TVB’s twelfth acting class, alongside Margie Tsang and Shek Tin-Ngor.
Barbara has never doubted Kent’s fidelity because of these rumors and isn’t afraid of Sandra trying to steal him away.
With a smile, Barbara listed four reasons why she’s easy to care for, and upon closer look, "it’s quite interesting."
(Barbara said: I’m petite, eat very little, have a slim figure, save on clothing, have no extravagant hobbies, and don’t spend money recklessly. When free, I stay home reading, with no habit of socializing. These are her reasons for being easy to care for.)
Jokingly, she’s actually hinting that Kent is quite satisfied with having such a girlfriend. Sandra should probably back off knowing the situation.
Reuniting with Michael Miu
Since 1983, the number of times she and Michael Miu have starred together in TV dramas is too many to count. Even in the recently filmed "Chor Lau Heung Sequel," she and Michael are collaborating again.
TVB’s arrangements can’t help but make people think of the network’s autocratic approach: if TVB decides to promote you, you become a star; if TVB ignores you, no matter how good your acting skills are, it’s useless.
Of course, Barbara is fortunate, but TVB isn’t short of other talents. Comparatively, haven’t Barbara and Michael, as a pair, been overexposed?
Since her stage appearance in May this year, Barbara was originally scheduled to return with Felix Wong in August but couldn’t make it due to the filming of "Chor Lau Heung."
They say luck follows her every step. In Hong Kong’s entertainment scene, apart from Cherie Chung, who rose to fame through movies, perhaps even Maggie Cheung can’t compare.
Speaking of which, Barbara’s star is truly shining brightly—nothing can hold her back.
Comments
Her career trajectory mirrored this duality: TVB's favoritism catapulted her to stardom alongside frequent collaborator Michael Miu, but critics questioned overexposure. Unlike contemporaries like Maggie Cheung, Barbara’s meteoric rise seemed unstoppable—until tragedy cut it short. The passage poignantly contrasts her vibrant resilience with the fragility beneath, leaving readers to ponder the price of fame and the shadows behind her luminous smile.
