The Lightness and Vitality of Yung Mei Ling
July’s Star of Vitality – Barbara Yung
Because of her petite and delicate figure, Barbara Yung jokingly calls herself the "lightest Star of Vitality."
"The previous Stars of Vitality were all strong and well-built, compared to them, I really don’t measure up," Barbara said with wide, pitiful eyes.
"But vitality isn’t proportional to body size, why worry about it?" I asked.
"Though I’m small, I have exceptional energy!" she declared proudly.
"Even if you have to work overnight for several days straight while filming, can you still maintain that energy?" I asked.
"It’s inevitable that I’ll feel a bit tired, but I’m a strange person, the moment I get the call sheet and know I have a scene to shoot, I’m instantly full of energy. And once I’m on set facing the camera, I’m even more lively and vigorous!" She spoke with such animated enthusiasm, proving she truly has a workaholic’s passion.
Though she loves her work, the intense filming schedule recently caused her to lose a full ten pounds. It wasn’t until she took a trip to England to spend a few days with her mother, enjoying family time, that her mood lifted, and she finally regained some weight, her face looking a little fuller again.
Barbara rarely exercises because she dislikes sweating afterward, especially in summer, when even a little activity leaves her drenched. She’s also afraid of tanning her skin. The only exceptions are modern, air-conditioned sports facilities where she can play badminton or table tennis to her heart’s content, these are her best sports.
In the past, she also enjoyed swimming alone at the beach. But since she wears contact lenses, swimming became a hassle, afterward, she’d have to deal with cleaning them. So after studying in England, she simply stopped swimming altogether. Now, swimming is just a historical footnote in her life.
Though she doesn’t exercise much, she believes that filming period dramas, with all the action and martial arts, gives her enough physical activity. Besides, in her free time, she watches movies, especially comedies, laughing heartily to lift her spirits, or tearjerker dramas to have a good cry and release pent-up emotions. By opening her heart this way, she maintains a cheerful mindset every day, ensuring both mental and physical well-being.

翁美玲輕盈的活力
七月活力之星——翁美玲
因身材娇小玲珑，翁美玲戏称自己是"最轻盈的活力之星"。
"前几届活力之星个个高大健美，相比之下我实在不起眼。"她睁着大眼睛可怜巴巴地说。
"活力又和体型无关，何必在意？"我问。
"别看个子小，我的精力可是超乎常人！"她神气十足，"就算连续通宵拍戏也没问题！"
"真的不会累吗？"
"疲倦难免啦。但我这人很怪，一接到通告就精神百倍，镜头前更是生龙活虎。"说起工作时她眉飞色舞，果然是个工作狂。
不过高强度拍摄曾让她暴瘦十磅，直到去英国探亲休养后才恢复气色，脸蛋重新圆润起来。
翁美玲平时很少运动，既怕出汗又怕晒黑。除非在有空调的体育馆打羽毛球或乒乓球——这是她最拿手的项目。
她曾喜欢独自去海边游泳，但隐形眼镜带来的清洁问题让她最终放弃。留学英国后，游泳就成了"历史遗迹"。
虽然缺乏运动，但她认为古装戏里的武打场面已足够锻炼。闲暇时最爱看喜剧片开怀大笑，或是用文艺片好好哭一场来调节情绪。她说这样能保持心理健康，身体自然充满活力。
