Thank you Rob for just sharing & not turning it into a media spin of newsworthiness. Looking forward to more stories once published.

My spelling are not to great, so i try my best to write this, i had remember barbara yung for many years, love watching her tvb series and luckyly live in cambridge near where she buried,just saying to my daughter the other day that one day i would like to bury next to her grave, then i wont be lonely, there plenty of visitor at barbara grave, it a shame she died so early, dont think she kill herself, i believe there so much going on the 80's, who know what exactly happen, it seem a long time it happen, but she look just like yesterday, i had 7 out of 9 series she made, i repeat watch it once a year, she is someone that you never forgot, we both have a similar background in cambridge.

Hi Rob, My name is Lely. I am from Bali Indonesia. Thank You so much for sharing the story and pictures. waiting for the next post. I remember that I watched LOCH when I was 5 years old. Barbara,act very well in LOCH. I think no one can act better than her as "Huang Rong".

Do you miss her, Rob?

Thank you very much for creating this website to share your memories of Barbara with us.

I agree with your comment that Barbara’s real life character shows in many of her acting roles. I believe it is her real life character which captivates her fans to this day. I know it is for me.

I am envious of you for personally knowing the real Barbara during those years. I am also very grateful that you were able to provide Barbara with some of the happiest time of her live.

I look forward to more post from you on the entire story.

I m not barb’s fan, but I m very touch with what you have done for her.

You are a very sentiment people, and you must be missed her very much.

You handle the relationship very well, and I really admire you.

All the best to you, you deserve something better.

I think Barbara's Mum & Uncle INDIRECTLY drove Barbara to her death. After losing her dad at a very young age, Barbara was given too much responsibilites. Barbara wasn't allowed to date Caucasians .. period.(Her mum did not even try to learn more about her daughter's relationships). This is very harsh for a young girl. Mothers need to take the time and effort to listen and talk to their daughters, not just keep disciplining her.
>> Now her mum get what she deserves, living a long life BUT WITHOUT her daughter.
When Barbara's 2nd relationship did not work out, she just "snapped".It is not healthy for a "only child" to grow up in a family that does not have visitors. It is also not healthy to "hook up" your daughter with rich man's sons.Thanks to Rob for sharing his stories. We can use this as a lesson when we raise our girls.Barbara should have got help from a social worker. Unfortunately, to a traditional Chinese family, this brings shame.

Hey Rob,

It's been awhile since I last checked in the website...looks like your efforts are paying off and your memories of Barbara are being spread around the world. My biggest question now is were you guys engaged? I noticed on her wedding finger - the picture under the tree a ring on there? Please explain.

Rob, Too bad Barbara did not try to get help from your parents. Because if she did, she would have got support from your family and she is lucky to have the option. U & Barbara were young and healthy. U could have worked hard to make your own living and still be together. Our destiny is in our own hands. Happiness is not easy to come by. Other thing I notice -- Question. Why is her mother playing mahjong when Barbara came back from her trip? The daughter had to lie to spend sometime away from home and when she came back, why did the mum play mahjong instead of spending time with her daughter????

thanks for the memories of Barbara.

Rob, thank you very much for the publish of your precious memories with Barbara Yung. I really love her acting in Legend of the Condor Heroes, I think she was the best actress acting as Huang Rong above all the other actresses who had also acted as this role.

rob you rockkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU'RE THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!

hi rob! hope to hear from u soon about ur latest life and everything. i m touched by what u did.

huang rong gained some weight after she went back to hong kong. but of all the things i absolutely love her little nose. it is sooo adorable. i wanna play with it.

Barbara YUNG Mei Ling was one of the Hong Kong's best-known television actresses. She was the most beautiful actress during the early 1980s.

Good job, Roy! I liked YUNG Mei Ling. I also liked her dramas very much.

Hi Rob, this is for your information only, your story has been published on the local chinese newspaper in Malaysia yesterday, 25/7/10. That is how i get to this website, thanks for sharing ur story.

hey rob, i actually want to cry, i empathise you because you were innocent when she passed away and it hit your mind very badly.

Hi Rob,
I just want to say thank you for making this web-site! You are awesome!

Hi Rob, you found the wrong one to translate the site. It will be much better to translate into Traditional Chinese, which the HK people uses. Anyway, it is a very awesome site, a very sweet memory!

Thank you for revealing her life before she became legendary Huang Rong (the most memorable character she portaited in Legend of the Condor Heroes). She was a myth from skyrocketing to stardom to sudden passaway. Even nowaday people talk about her in much of regret and curiosity. As you said she is such a private person, her offscreen life is often eclipsed by her film characters until her death. I saw your youtube clips and wondered where that boy in her picture is. And there is this site that provides first hand information about aspect of Barbara that many fans don't know.
I definitely understand your mom's reaction when she knew your tribute video on youtube. Although I am grateful of your contribution to Barbara's fan, I wish you move on with your life and be with your true love.
Thanks again!

Thanks a lot. My tears burst out when I saw the old pictures of Barbara. She was so beautiful. I will never forget her.

Thanks Rob

Oh, i miss her

Hi Rob,

Thank you for sharing your stories and the love you have and shared with Barbara. Even though you two are from differentbackgrounds, cultural beliefs and faces many difficulties, you two fell in love and cherish the moments together. Rob, you gave Barbara something I feel she was missing, a hole in her heart and in her life….True Love.

I’m sad that she left England and returned to HK and for whatever reason it must have been hard for Barbara being forced or maybe blackmailed, for lack of words. She loved her mother and trying to be the good discipline daughter that she is, maybe she didn’t want to object to whatever decisions were made for her.

This is just my thoughts and do not mean to offend anyone or any of Barbara’s fan as I am one of them too.

****Correction*** I was 9 when she passed away...:P.

I remembered when I was young and my aunt was teaching me how to ride a bike. As she was teaching me, my uncle from across the street yelled and told us the next tape of "legend of condors" was playing, my aunt ran and left behind with the bike. My whole family enjoyed her series.

I was shocked to hear of her passing......

Hi Rob,
So are you still living in Cambridge ?For This site might make you well known for local fans people.Well,maybe not "well known",but 'more known'to some Chinese communities.

Rob,
dont worry! i m ur loyal fan so i dont mind the error in NAMES. anyway i m using my real name. hope u are fine n happy! THANKS

Dear Rob,

Thank you for sharing your memories.
I grown up in a typical chinese family like Barbara did. I totally understand where you guys coming from.
I can't wait to read more stories!

Hi Rob,
U once mentioned that u found much about yourself on the web. Does that mean that you are a MEDICAL DOCTOR?
>> PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION.
>> U sound like a nice guy.
Hope to hear your answer.
HA HA HA. Now, we are speculating.......

Hi Rob,

Thank you for telling us the truth about why Barbara went to Hong Kong.

It was because of the fact that I found there were discripancies in what were written in the internet articles and the stories in this website that I post my previous question to find out the truth.

Thank you once again.

Hi Rob,


It is written in the internet articles that Barbara said to her uncle (Mr Roderic Chan) more than once that it was an unforgettable defeat to Barbara (referring to the fact that Barbara got only the 8th place in the 1982 Miss Hong Kong Beauty Pageant) and that she had never been defeated before.

Is it true that Barbara had never been defeated in her life before?

Grateful for your answer, please. Thank you.

Thanks so much Rob for updating your stories. Love them and I enjoy reading them over and over again! There are so many small details that I personally can relate to ( ex. Barbara giving you money first and telling you to pay the restaurant owner for her birthday party ). Those are well thought of plans from a girl who is in love and constantly fighting the odds (from her family) to maintain what she wants. Its a lot of work.

Hi, Can someone translate Barbara's letter from Chinese to English. I do not read Chinese at all. Please help. THANKS IN ADVANCE

this website is very good.
Thank you ,Rob!

I am barbara's Fans,
Thank you...

Happy New Year ! Rob

Hi all, I would like to propose a good idea to meet one another together in England in 2012 if possible to pay last respects to BY and make a tour where BY studied and travelled...
At the same time to meet Rob and his family...what do you think?

Only a suggestion.

I added 10 more pictures to the picture gallery

The role that made Barbara a household name was LOCH as Huang Rong. The irony is in the show Huang Rong discourages another female character, Hua Zheng, from commiting suicide for fear of losing a love interest (to Huang Rong), Guo Jing. Huang Rong said to an extend that Hua Zheng should be more positive and life is precious. It's not worth losing one's life for. It was great advice; in this case life didn't imitate art.

Hi Mei Ling Fan, U got me wrong. Where did Rob put the topic in his website? Stories or pictures? But this topic is not linked in his website although it is still here. I think Rob forgot to link it to which category here.

No wonder, i misread the words spelt as "love story in the news internet" together. As a result, i don't see the word - internet. U should type Internet, not internet, look at letter caps.

Rob, From the latest updates, 生日聚會 (1999-11-30) got wrong date and year. :)

Pls rectify it.

I wonder how she looked like when she is 50 yrs old. Maybe she stay beautiful as usual?

Rob, I didn't feel that she had a mental disorder but was a normal person to me. Depression is normal but severe depression is serious beyond ourselves. It doesn't mean it is mental disorder.

I guess her severe trauma caused her to develop serious depression. As a result, she developed suicidal tendencies.

Yes, times ARE different from what they were back then. Many people did not agree to help because of their lack of understanding the seriousness. Many only knew of it as a personal issue to dealt with only within the family. Having a professional outside of the family would have been too much of an exposure. It just was not common to accept that kind of outside help.

Rob: I forgot to mention that if u had "A FEW MILLION US $dollars" - your own personal wealth" at that time >> disposable for Barbara's mom, she might have a more favorable opinion towards u.
>> Her mom was looking for financial security for her daughter and herself.
>> At that time you were a young student, did not have a established well paid career job yet.
>> MONEY talks.

hi rob ,

do u remember the exact date u break up with barbara ? is it before she get back to hong kong for beauty contest ? so after she get back to hong kong , she had never contact with u anymore until she died in hong kong , or u contact her but no response? so u know nothing about her death and everything happening of her in hong kong ?
