May you RIP Lydia Shum...

Lydia Shum ,dogged by numerous health problems, including chronic ailments such as cholangitis, diabetes and hypertension, was lately admitted to hospitals repeatedly. She was diagnosed with liver tumor and cancer around the gallbladder in 2006 and was discharged from hospital in July 2007 after an operation to remove one third of her liver. But she collapsed at home and was rushed to hospital in October.

After almost two years of battling cancer, Lydia Shum , one of Hong Kong's most revered and long-lasting stars - finally succumbed to her illness . It seems ironic, or perhaps it is a sign of things to come, that this sad news comes in the midst of the city being caught up in the maelstrom of the celebrity nude pictures scandal....

I grew up watching her on tv.She had brought a great deal of happiness and great fun to my childhood tv life. I have great respectfor her for she embraced her physical appearance and found pride in humour and entertainment.She had brought lotsa contributions, sweet memories and laughter to the entertainment industry.

She had fought the battle bravely and I am proud of her.May she rest in peace...
