Exhibition of Yung Mei Ling's Posthumous Works
Movie fans see things hurt
In London’s Chinatown in early November, the "Yung Mei Ling Charity Work Exhibition" attracted a large number of Chinese and foreigners. Many foreigners who did not know Yung Mei Ling praised her talents. After hearing about Yung Mei Ling’s deeds they shook their heads and sighed for her suicide.
Yung Mei Ling loved art during her lifetime and left over 140 works of sketching, design, textile, pottery and photography, all of which were donated and loaned by Yung Mei Ling’s mother. The money raised is for the "Yung Mei Ling Education Fund." It will donate to the Chinese school to encourage the youngsters who want to learn Chinese.
"The sudden loss of 囡囡 (Yung Mei Ling's nickname) was a painful blow." During the exhibition, Mother Yung Mei Ling endured the grief of losing her beloved daughter and cheered up to do this meaningful thing for Yung Mei Ling. "It's time for the rumors to come to an end. I think the most gratifying thing for my daughter is to do more for this world."
During the exhibition, Anita Mui, who was singing in the UK, immediately bid and ordered a piece of Yung Mei Ling's work: "Yung Mei Ling is a good friend of mine. I absolutely must support this kind of charity." Anita Mui said that Yung Mei Ling’s portrait is a bit sad. The purchase of the painting and fundraising can be regarded as her dedication to her friend

翁美玲遺作展
影迷睹物傷情
倫敦唐人街在十一月上旬的文藝活動中，展出「翁美玲慈善遺作展」吸引了大批中外人士駐足，許多不知翁美玲爲何人的外籍人士都盛讚她的才藝，待聽取了有關阿翁的事跡後，又爲她的輕生搖頭嘆息。
翁美玲生前愛藝術，遺下了素描，設計，紡織，陶藝及攝影作品一百四十餘件，都由翁母捐借出來，而這次慈善遺作展所募集的基金，將以「翁美玲教育基金」名義捐給中文學校，鼓勵向學的靑少年。
「突然失去囡囡（翁美的小名），對我是一個沈痛的打擊。」翁母在展出期間，強忍着痛失愛女的悲傷，打起精神來爲阿翁做這件有意義的事：「前些時候的種種傳言該告一段落了，我想最能使囡囡欣慰的是再爲這個世間多做些事。」
展出期間適逢在英國演唱的梅艷芳，立刻出價訂下一幅阿翁的作品：「阿翁是我的好朋友，這樣的慈善活動，我絕對要支持的。」梅艷芳在會場上見了阿翁的畫像，有點兒睹物傷情，購畫籌款也算她對好友所盡的一份心意了。
