When someone dies so unexpectedly at such a young age, time stops dead at a breath, everyone examines themselves, their lives, then everything gets back to normal. So everything returned to the old order after Ying's death.
ATV held a farewell ceremony to memorialize Lam Ching Ying. They invited many of his friends to talk about his life and career. Mang Hoi, Ching Tung and Wan Tin Chiu as the representatives of ATV taped the commemoration, and gave it to his son. At the end freed fifty birds into the sky.
ATV couldn't execute their plan to produce Vampire Expert III after all. "My Date With The Vampire" is the name of the Cantonese television series dedicated to Lam. This one features the last blood-related descendant of Mao Xiao Fang, whom Lam Ching played in Vampire Expert I.
Hong Kong Legends time to time releases classic movies, featuring Ying. The next two, this autumn 2006 are: Hapkido and Heroes Shed No Tears. Keep an eye on them.
You have a Chinese vampire in your house, driving you mad with his constant hopping? Don't call Lam Sifu any more, because he is not available.
He has been promoted, obtained a new appointment.
As always, he is wiser, more experienced and peaceful already, because he knows the Ultimate Truth, the knowledge about Being. I hope, he is glad wherever he is and he found his peace of mind. I wish he learned to smile more often, as it suited him so much. I hope, he met everybody who he missed, that he learned everything he wanted to know, that he has new friends, friends he can trust, whom he can open up to. I wish he would never miss anything, never feel sorrow and pain anymore. He had his share. All in all, I want him to be as happy as he never was in his life!
And above all, I would like him to know, that he changed my life, he taught me a lot and I'm grateful to him. I hope, he knows that I miss him, I admire him, and most importantly, I love him and I'll remember him as long as I live. I hope, one day I can tell him personally, that I regard him as one of the best men I have ever known. Those few, who always tell the truth, no evasion, who speaks his mind, who is always genuine.
He was definitely a great actor and his best performance was his own death. Played with dignity and giving his best to take our breath away.
As always!!!
