- Which veteran artist are you a fan of, and why?Yam Kim-fai and Bak Shuet-sin. They were forward-looking artists ahead of their time and I admire them for revolutionizing the industry.
- What is your quest in art?I hope to be able to bring the art form to a younger audience and spark their interest in it so that Cantonese Opera will survive and thrive for generations.
- Please share an interesting anecdote or an unforgettable moment on stage.Once I had to play Madame Zhou in Mistake at the Flower Festival, who was the mother of our artistic director’s character, Zhou Tong. I was quite anxious to play a parent to such a revered veteran artist as I was still rather inexperienced. It’s because of that that experience, I’ve come to realize how hard it is to play certain roles convincingly and therefore, gained a new-found respect for my predecessors.
