“The fearless duo"! screen couple

TVB has produced countless well-known drama series. To celebrate the 55th anniversary of TVB Taiwan, it held a voting activity for "I Choose, I Want to Watch", which was divided into two categories: "Our..." and "Unforgettable...".

Result: "Father and Daughter" won 23.3% in "Our..."; and "The fearless duo", which was recently re-broadcasted late at night, became the first place in "Unforgettable..." with 29.8%.

This drama starred Michael Miu, Yung Meiling, Liu Dan, etc. When it premiered in 1984, the ratings exceeded 60 points, becoming the highest ratings of the year. No wonder it was praised by viewers as "the divine drama among divine dramas"!

Yung Meiling, who participated in Miss Hong Kong in 1982, only won the eighth place, but she was still favored by TVB for her beautiful facial features. In the same year, she was arranged to film the drama "Thirteen Sisters", and this drama made her become closer to Kent Tong .

Afterwards, she was highly praised. In 1983, she became famous for her role as Huang Rong in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"; and Michael Miu in the same drama also succeeded in playing Yang Kang. Afterwards, TVB took advantage of the trend to make the two into "screen couples" and co-produced four dramas, among which "The fearless duo" is still deeply loved by audiences.

In August 1983, Yung Meiling held Kent Tong's arm to attend the Hong Kong Film Awards Ceremony and officially announced their relationship;

However, the two were later reported to have had a heated argument in the dressing room. It was pointed out that at that time Kent Tong had scandals with other female artists, and Yung Meiling also had a close relationship with the wealthy son Zou Shilong, which caused the two to quarrel often. Trapped by love, she was found to be getting thinner day by day, and her weight dropped from 100 pounds during the beauty pageant to 90 pounds.

Suicide three times In 1985

It was rumored that Yung Meiling tried to die twice because of her emotional troubles, but fortunately both failed.

However, on May 14 of the same year, she turned on the gas at home and committed suicide for the third time. It is reported that Kent Tong went to Yung Meiling's house in the early morning of the day of the incident, but was turned away because the other party had notified the security guard not to let him come and harass him. The next morning, the rumored boyfriend Zou Shilong rushed to the house because he could not be contacted. He went to Yung Meiling's apartment to find out, when he arrived at the door, he smelled a strong gas smell coming from the house, and no one responded when he knocked on the door; so he broke open the window and climbed into the house, only to find Yung Meiling in pink pajamas, unconscious in the hall. Her whole body was cold, so he immediately notified the security guard to call the police, and took Yung Meiling to the hospital by himself in a taxi, but it was to late that there was no way to return, and she died at the age of 26.

Back then, Yung Mei Ling (Ah Yung) and Michael Miu (the third brother) were like brother and sister.  Michael Miu and Qi Mei Zhen, Kent Tong  (A Tang) and Yung Mei Ling, the two couples were often together and had a good friendship.

During an interview a long time ago the third brother was interviewed by Chen Zhiyun, he recalled that after he and Kent Tong received the news of Yung Meiling's death they could not accept the reality and they tried their best to bring her back to life.

Ah Tang tried everything possible. A friend introduced us to a Taoist priest who could bring Ah Yung back to life. That night, Ah Tang and I immediately wen to that Taoist priest, hoping to bring Ah Yung’s soul back to life.” The third brother continued with red eyes: "At that time, Ah Yung's body was already in the mortuary, and Ah Tang and I went to a Taoist altar. It turned out that the Taoist priest had already opened the altar to summon souls. I felt so cold inside that I dared not go in, but Ah Tang boldly went in. About half an hour later, Ah Tang came out and saw Ah Yung brought out by two ghost messengers, and said to him: "Ah, I'm so cold!" At that time, I asked Ah Tang, is this really Yung Meiling? But no one knows that Ah Yung asked Ah Tang to be an "Azi". At that time, I thought it was true. The Taoist said that a soul was brought up, but it couldn't get into the body, because a body is in the mortuary."

Making a fuss in the mortuary

Then, the third brother and Kent Tong hurried to the mortuary and asked the staff to show them Yung Meiling's body. The third brother held back his tears and said: "At that time, the mortuary was so cooperative that we could go in and They let us see Ah Yung's body. At that time, I really wanted her to wake up, but I didn't believe it, I really didn't believe it. It's Yung Meiling, I don’t know why I’m going to sleep here, I’m stiff, I really want her to wake up, call her all the way! Will I wake her up? Ah Tang and I are really in love I hoped that something miraculous will happen. We even lost our minds for a while, help her thaw, wipe off the ice on her skin, wake her up! I am so heartbroken to see Ah Tang, Yung Meiling was my unforgettable partner !"

After the death of Yung Meiling, her ashes were placed in a Catholic cemetery at the University City of Cambridge, England; while friends Michael Miu and Qi Meizhen set up a memorial for her at the Cham Shan Temple in Lobster Bay, Sai Kung, Hong Kong, for friends and movie fans to pay homage to.

The third brother revealed: "Qi Meizhen told me that when A Yung came back in a dream, She said that she was so attached to Hong Kong... Me and Ah Tang will go to pay homage to her on the day of her death, and my wife Qi Meizhen will even go more often."

2023 年 01 月 12 日 周刊

為慶祝五十五周年台慶,無綫早前特別舉行一個《我揀我想睇》的投票活動,讓網民選出最想重溫的經典劇集,並於深夜時段重播,結果由八四年首播,翁美玲、苗僑偉、劉丹等主演的《天師執位》脫穎而出,更被網民譽為「神劇中的神劇」!

當年,無綫將翁美玲與苗僑偉打造為 「最強熒幕CP」,但現實中的她,當年卻是與湯鎮業拍拖。八五年,有傳翁美玲因感情受到困擾,在家開煤氣自殺,結果送院搶救後不治,享年二十六歲。轉眼間,她已離世三十六年,而最佳拍檔苗僑偉,之前受訪時,曾憶述當年與好兄弟湯鎮業接獲翁美玲死訊後,未能接受現實,一度失去理智地,於是找道士招翁美玲的魂魄,希望令她復活,與《天師執位》的劇情不謀而合!

熒幕情侶

無綫製作過無數膾炙人口的劇集,為慶祝五十五周年台慶,於是舉辦《我揀我想睇》的投票活動,並分為「我們的⋯⋯」和「難忘記⋯⋯」兩項,結果:《男親女愛》以23.3%在「我們的⋯⋯」勝出;而最近在深夜重播的《天師執位》,則以29.8%成為「難忘記⋯」的第一位。這劇由苗僑偉、翁美玲、劉丹等主演,在八四年首播時,收視超過六十點,成為該年度的收視之冠,難怪被網民譽為「神劇中的神劇」!

參選八二年港姐入行的翁美玲,雖然僅獲第八名,但五官標緻的她,仍獲無綫青睞,同年已被安排拍攝劇集《十三妹》,而這劇更令她與湯鎮業結緣。其後,她獲得力捧,在八三年,她更憑《射鵰英雄傳》中的黃蓉爆紅;而同劇的苗僑偉亦靠飾演楊康,成功上位。之後,無綫順勢將兩人打造成為「熒幕情侶」,並合拍了四部劇集,其中的《天》劇至今仍深受觀眾喜愛。

八三年八月,翁美玲挽着湯鎮業的臂彎出席金像獎頒獎禮,正式公開戀情;而外界也覺得他們是圈中的金童玉女。不過,兩人之後曾傳出在化妝間發生激烈爭吵。有指,當時湯鎮業與其他女藝人傳出緋聞,而翁美玲亦跟富家子鄒世龍關係密切,導致兩人經常吵架。為情所困的她,被發現一天比一天瘦,體重更由選美時一百磅,跌至九十磅。

三度自殺

八五年,有傳翁美玲因感情受到困擾,曾兩度尋死,幸好皆失敗。不過,同年五月十四日,她在家開煤氣,第三次自殺。有報道指,湯鎮業在事發當日凌晨曾到翁美玲家,但因對方已通知保安員勿讓他登門騷擾,結果被拒於門外,而翌日早上,緋聞男友鄒世龍由於未能聯絡上,隨即趕往翁美玲的寓所了解,抵達門外,即聞到屋內傳出濃烈的煤氣味,拍門亦沒人回應;於是,他撬窗爬入屋內,便發現身穿粉紅色睡衣的翁美玲,昏迷在大廳中,全身冰冷,他即時通知保安員報警,並自行搭的士將翁美玲送往醫院,可惜返魂乏術,享年二十六歲。

當年,翁美玲(阿翁)與苗僑偉(三哥)情同契兄妹;而苗僑偉和戚美珍、湯鎮業(阿湯)和翁美玲,兩對情侶更經常出雙入對,感情深厚。早年,三哥接受陳志雲訪問時憶述,他與湯鎮業接獲翁美玲死訊後,因未能接受現實,故想盡辦法想令她復活,他哽咽地說:「阿翁過身當日,我同阿湯想盡一切辦法。有朋友介紹咗個道士俾我哋,話可以令阿翁復活。當晚,我同阿湯立即搵嗰個道士,希望招阿翁個魂上嚟。」

三哥眼紅紅續說:「當時,阿翁個body已經喺殮房,我同阿湯去到個道壇,原來道長已開壇招魂,我感覺裏面好寒唔敢入去,但阿湯好大膽入咗去。差唔多半個鐘後,阿湯出嚟話,見到阿翁由兩個鬼差帶出嚟,仲同佢講:『阿仔,我好凍!』當時,我問阿湯,究竟呢個係咪真係翁美玲?但冇人知道阿翁叫阿湯做『阿仔』o架。嗰刻以為真係,道士話招咗個魂上來,但係入唔到去個body,因為個body在殮房。」

大鬧殮房

接着,三哥與湯鎮業火速駕車去殮房,要求職員給他們見翁美玲的遺體。三哥強忍着淚水再說:「嗰時殮房好合作俾我哋入去,俾阿翁個body我們睇。當時好想佢醒番,唔相信、非常之唔相信,好哋哋一個翁美玲,點解會瞓咗喺度,僵硬咗,好想佢醒番,一路叫佢!其實,o依家想番,係去咗就去咗,點會醒番?但係,我同阿湯真係希望會有神奇的事發生。我哋更加一度失去理智,幫佢解凍呀、幫佢抹去皮膚上嘅冰呀,叫醒佢!我見到阿湯好心痛,翁美玲係我一個好難忘嘅拍檔!」

翁美玲離世後,骨灰安放於英國劍橋大學城的天主教墓地;而好友苗僑偉和戚美珍則在香港西貢龍蝦灣的湛山寺,特別為她設了一個靈位,給好友及影迷拜祭。三哥透露:「戚美珍同我講,阿翁託夢返嚟,話佢好掛住香港,好掛住呢度⋯⋯我同阿湯喺佢忌辰嗰幾日都會去拜祭,我太太戚美珍更加經常會去。」
