Barbara Yung: Unforgettable Sweet First Love, Patiently Waiting for Ken Tong's Proposal
If we're talking about the fastest-rising star in the television industry over the past two years, one naturally thinks of Barbara Yung. From having nothing when she first returned to Hong Kong, she has now become one of TVB's busiest artists.
This girl, who studied textile design in the UK, has been incredibly lucky. Following her role in "The Foundation," she was cast as the female lead. In "The Fearless Duo," she acted alongside Michael Miu, and she found great chemistry working with him. For the upcoming series "The Return of the Condor Heroes," the lead roles are once again played by the two of them.
Her first acting experience was at the ATV studio. Back then, during "The Legend of the Thirteen Sisters," she acted alongside much more experienced actors, including Liza Wang. As a newcomer, no one paid her much attention. Her first all-night shoot was unforgettable. After finishing the first scene at dawn, they had to wait for the next setup. Since she had another call at 7:30 AM and couldn't go home, where could she go to rest? In the end, the kind-hearted "Sook Goo" took her in, and she slept for a while at her house.
To this day, Barbara feels a special affection for the ATV studio. She says, "I really like the ATV studio; I feel a sense of belonging there. I have my own makeup room, and I keep my toothpaste, toothbrush, and soap there. I don't plan to move these things; when I have free time, I go back there to sleep." She recalls that while filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," whenever she had no scenes to shoot, she would always hide in the makeup room to sleep. Of course, once Huang Rong appeared in front of the camera, she was full of energy and vitality.
A Serious View on Love and Marriage
In their relationship, he calls her "Girl Girl," and she calls him "Boy Boy." But don't think that just because she returned from the UK, her ways are modern. Some time ago, gossipmongers spread rumors that Barbara Yung was cohabiting with her "Boy Boy," Ken Tong. When reporters asked her to verify this, she firmly denied it.
She very seriously stated that she has always been against cohabitation and trial marriages. She believes a girl must maintain her dignity; what meaning would there be in marrying later if you live with someone casually?
So, how many more years will they date? Barbara indicated that they are both still young and should work hard for a few more years, save more money, before starting a family. It wouldn't be too late then. She said with a smile that before Ah Tong formally proposes to her, she won't consider the issue of marriage.
However, this girl in love has already planned what the two of them will do when they eventually leave the entertainment industry. They plan to emigrate to the UK. Even if they are still working in Hong Kong, they would travel between both places. They would naturally return to the UK for summer holidays and stay in the UK to enjoy the snow in winter. Barbara Yung hopes this beautiful life can be realized soon!
"First Love" Scores 100 Points
While looking forward to the future, Barbara recently also shared some unforgettable past experiences with her television fans.
In her mind, "Boy Boy" is not the one most qualified to score 100 points. The one who deserves a perfect score is her first love. Her large eyes revealed a complex mix of emotions—part sweetness, part regret. "Don't make a fuss," she laughed, "I was just thinking about my first love, that's all." As she spoke, she smiled, revealing two rows of cute bunny teeth.
Love Was Sweet as Sugar, But Then Came Studies
Their love story began at a classmate's birthday party in Hong Kong. He performed a song by James Wong, which deeply attracted her. However, he was proud, and it was only after some time that he launched his pursuit. Because he was introverted, he felt shy and unsure of how to proceed. In the end, it was his mischievous nature that won her over.
At that time, they were only teenagers. What did they know about love? Just holding hands and being together counted as "dating." It felt incredibly sweet.
After she finished secondary school, the young couple faced a test. Her mother told her that she had arranged for her to study in the UK and she would leave in three months. He was stunned when he heard the news and begged her not to leave him. She immediately told him about this development. His initial reaction was to desperately plead with his mother to also send him abroad to study, so they could be together. It seemed like the perfect solution.
Unfortunately, their perfect plan failed. His mother could not agree to send him to the UK, only permitting him to go to Canada because his brother was there to take care of him. Furthermore, he would leave over a month earlier than her. She told him she wouldn't go to see him off, unable to bear the pain of parting. But in the end, she still went.
An Emotional Airport Scene
Just as he was about to pass through the gate at the airport, she arrived just in time and called out his name. The scene that followed was truly moving, just like in the movies. The two of them held each other tightly for a long time. Only after repeated urging from his family did they finally part.
Barbara says that thinking of this scene still makes her blush. However, as time passed and they lived in different places, making their own separate friends, their letters became fewer and their feelings gradually faded.
After hearing her love story, one will surely be glad that this first love did not blossom. Otherwise, how could there be the "Girl Girl" by his side today?
翁美玲难忘初恋甜蜜往事 耐心等待汤镇业正式求婚
要说电视圈中近两年崛起最快的一个女孩子，大家自然就会想起翁美玲。这个在英国攻读纺织设计的少女，返港之时仍一无所有，到如今她已成为无綫最忙的一个女艺员。
继《决战玄武门》后，她又是女主角。这一次她和苗侨伟做搭档，觉得找他做搭档很开心。可能人们对坚城片场的这位幸运儿那时还未变成《射雕英雄传》中那个人见人爱的黄蓉，她推出的《天师执位》，男女主角又是他俩。即将开拍的一套新剧，女主角又是她，男主角又是汤镇业。
她第一次拍通宵戏，献给了坚城片厂，这话可没有夸张呢。只不过天公不作美，他们只好一直等，结果等到天亮，才拍完第一场戏。只是，芭芭拉早上七点半还有通告，要接着拍下去。既然不能回家，到哪里去休息一下好呢？最后，秀姑好心“收留”了她，她到秀姑家里睡了一会儿。到了现在，芭芭拉对坚城有种归属感。她说：“我很喜欢演古装戏，一入片场，便有一份特殊的亲切感。那里牙膏、牙刷、香皂什么都有，我不准备搬走这些东西，有空我便回去睡觉。”她脑海中，做电视很有份归属感，那段经历应该是毕生难忘的。
当然，在《十三妹》中的时候，与她一同推出的全是经验丰富得多的演员，包括香格格，没有人特别照顾这个小女孩。她没有戏拍时，总是躲到化妆间去睡觉。镜头前面生龙活虎的黄蓉，总是躲到化妆间去补充精神拍下一场戏。
事业成功之外，爱情之神似乎也特别讨好她。她和汤镇业的恋情，已差不多到达非君不嫁，非卿不娶的地步。
但，千万不要以为从英国回来的她，作风便很新潮。一阵子，有些好事之徒传出，翁美玲已和“仔仔”汤镇业同居，记者向她求证时，她坚决否认了。她口中的他，叫做“仔仔”，她口中的自己，则是“女女”。她很认真地表示，她一向反对同居和试婚，女孩子必定要保持自己的尊严，随便和人同居，将来结婚又有什么意思呢？
那么，他俩究竟还要拍拖多少年？翁美玲表示他俩都很年轻，应该苦干几年，赚多一点钱才组织小家庭也不迟。她笑着说，在阿汤向她正式求婚前，她是不会考虑结婚问题的。
但，这个恋爱中的姑娘却又已计划好两人将来退出娱乐圈会做什么。到时，他俩要移民到英国去，就算他俩仍然在香港工作，也会请两边走，夏天自然要返英国度假，冬天也要在英国欣赏雪景。这种美好的生活，翁美玲盼望能够早日实现！
在寄望将来的同时，翁美玲最近也向一个《欢乐今宵》的编导诉说了她过去的一点经历，一段难忘的往事。在她的心目中，“仔仔”并非她的初恋情人。最有资格拿一百分的，是另一个他。
“不要大惊小怪，我不过是想起我的初恋情人罢了。”她笑了，可爱的大眼睛中带着几分迷惘，忽然露出两排可爱的兔仔牙。
爱情甜如糖 奈何要升学
他俩在香港求学时，在一个同学生日会上认识。那时，她只有十多岁，爱情甜如糖，是什么也不懂。手牵手地出双入对，便算“拍拖”。
一天，他表演的歌，深深吸引了她。只是，他自傲加上内向，因此过了一段时间，才对她展开追求攻势，令她心甜。不过，她只是喜欢上他，却不知如何是好。最后，还是她告诉他，她喜欢上他了，开始了恋爱旅程。
到了她读完中学，这对小情人随即面临考验。她妈咪告诉她，已为她办好到英国升学的手续，三个月之后便要起行。她听了之后，整个人都呆了，简直不知如何是好。
她只有第一时间把这个发展告诉他。他听了之后，最先的反应是苦苦哀求，要她不要离开他。当时，他俩甚至还曾有过“殉情”的打算。只是，他俩又没有足够的勇气。
鬼主意到底有了，很简单，他去叫他妈咪也送他到英国去留学，岂不是两全其美，可以一边拍拖，一边求学吗？
可惜，如意算盘终于打错了。他的妈咪不能答应送他去英国留学，却只是答允让他到加拿大去，因为他的哥哥也在那边，方便照顾他。虽然不能立刻替他办手续，结果，他反而比她早了一个多月成行，令她啼笑皆非。
到底她还是去了英国。就在她与亲人、朋友话别，即将入闸之际，他及时出现了。她告诉他不会去送机了，因为受不了离别的那种打击，但他还是来了。机场搂抱场面认真动人，简直和电影中看到的一样，他俩紧紧地抱着对方，久久不放。经过他的家人再三催促，他俩才挥手而别。
芭芭拉说，想起这一幕，她仍觉得脸红耳赤。但，随着时间过去，在不同地方生活，各有各的朋友，书信减少了，感情也淡了。
相信了解了她的爱情故事，必定会为这段开不出花来的初恋，感到惋惜，否则的话，今天她的身边，又怎么可能有个“仔仔”呢！
