Barbara Yung 2018 commemoration

Today, 33 years ago, Barbara Yung Mei Ling left us. It was a very painful event for all of her fans, and the sadness still reverberates until now. Yet, I hope that we are all coming to our acceptance of what happened and eventually move on with her smile and laughters, her fullness as a person, in our hearts. Barbara was not a perfect person, but nor am I. None of us are. Hence, I still thank her for her role in making my childhood beautiful.

I thus also want to wish her a very belated happy 59th birthday on 7 May last week. I remembered her birthday last week, but I didn’t have time (or didn't make time) to make a post about it. Thus, here’s an old MV that I made last year, which I hope can remind us of the beautiful, though imperfect, Barbara Yung.  Oh, and if you'd like to entertain yourself with a fanfic, this one is a funny one that I wrote last year for Barbara.





Also, my apologies for the lack of updates. I had been focusing on my personal life and other fandom these days, but Michael-Barbara will still be in my heart. They will not leave me, and I’m glad that they’re here to stay, dormant as they are…

Until the next post, stay healthy and happy!

Awesome video & thanks for the song translation. I think the song fit their relationship very well. I think doesn't matter how much time would pass... Barbara would always be in Michael's heart and wonders "what if".

Thanks a lot Jacki.

I'm not sure if Michael ever plays "what if", but he might have during the first years of Barbara's passing. It seems though that he has moved on now (the chance to play Huang Yaoshi in the LOCH 2017 have added more to this conclusion of mine), and I'm glad for him... Letting go and moving on without reducing the importance of our past is, IMO, healthy...
