I wish everybody that their dreams for 2015 come out, happy new year

Thank you Rob for updating the site...nice colour choice. Sending a happy belated New Year Wish...all the best to you and your family. Health, love, joy and peace! Josephine

Hi, rob, I keep thinking about your story. I have one more question. Do you know the reason why Barbara was buried in Cambridge instead of Hinston? Is it possible that her mother realized that Cambridge was the place for her love? Would it possible that Barbara called her mother before suicide?

Rob, probably an irrelevant topic. But I would also like to share with you a book that I read 3 years ago. Iris Chang, who was a famous historian wrote the book "Rape of Nanking", committed suicide 10 years ago aged 35. Her mother published 3 years ago a memoir about her and gave more details about her daughter's suicide. As you are writing the book (not about Barbara, but more about the handling of suicide problem), I recommend this book to you.

I just want to say thank you

Hi Rob,
Thanks for doing that. I have few questions;
Was Barbara your first girlfriend? If you can have the choice again, would you marry her and kept her in England? Have you dreamed about her all these years? Thanks. J

Thank you for sharing!!!

She felt lonely, unappreciated and unwanted. She also had an enormous argument with her mother a few days before.

Hi Rob,
Check this out. I just coincidentally came across it.
Thought u might want to read this.

Barbara is always in my heart!

Thanks for your beautiful memories with Barbara. That makes me being touched.

Barbara you are my Idol forever. I really miss you. Thank you bring me a lot of memories

ROB. I know WESTERNERS allow their kids to follow their hearts. But if the kid make serious/irrevocable mistakes, it may RUIN their life.

Isn't it painful as parent to see your KIDs making severe mistakes?

In CHINESE culture, we "steer" & "encourage" our kids to take the right path. Ie. APPLYING WISDOM in their daily life.

整整30年了，美玲一直在我们心中。愿天堂没有孤独。

我永遠懷念的偶像......翁美玲!

记得小时候看《射雕》，非常喜爱里面古灵精怪，充满智慧的蓉儿。上周末还连续两天看了《射雕》DVD盘呢。-------不敢相信她已经离开我们三十年了。我相信，她的美丽会永远在我们这一代人脑海中驻留。祝她在天堂永远像蓉儿那样美丽，快乐！

I haven't kown much about barbara young until I listen to the song from The legend of Condor Hero recently and started noticing her. I was born in 1988, when I was old enough to watch TV,her story was a little bit far from my age... After reading and watching so much reports about her life and death , I felt extremely sad for her dying so young! and I saw so much of myself in her personality. sensitive, extreme, sacrifice to love..what life will be like if she insisted on robert? will robert not leave her if he knew how reassuringly and miserably she lived? As a girl I guess she loved robert more and I assume she thought a lot about the time spending with robert. after 30 years of her death, robert chose a way to remember her which is very touching ! I wish god could give her a chance to build a family like all the other people do..

Would you know who Yung's biological father is?

I found a clip on youtube of Barbara Yung worked with Leslie Cheung to introduce one of his famous song.

I hope Barbara the last of the last sentence is addressed to you
I can see you Barbara
Love you very much

I have been voraciously reading your blog the entire day. Your memoir of your love with her is so moving and touching that I could not help crying from time to time. Thank you for sharing the story with us.

愿在天堂里的阿翁不再孤单

《射雕英雄传》热播的年代，村里还没几台电视机，每晚有电视的人家里，人满为患，院子里，窗台上都挤满！
那时觉得班里的一位女同学的嘴角和牙齿长得特别像翁美玲，也许是初恋吧……三十多年过去了……唉！

Thanks for keeping this page updated. :)

Rest in peace, Barbara. :'(

Hi Rob,

How was Barbara's spoken English? Was it fluent and did she have an accent?

Thanks

One more Barbara's birthday

Hello Rob

Do you usually hear from the contacts @ Barbara's fan club on their plans for 14th May? Also, are you paying a visit to Cambridge any time soon?

BY is part of my childhood. I remember watching her TV series when I was around 10. Her death has always been very tragic to me. After reading your story with her and another fan's analysis of the interviews that she made in HK. I believe that the failing relationship with you was one of the reasons that triggered her death, but it wasn't the underlying issue. Her suicide is due to her upbringing, how she viewed the world, loneliness, failing relationships, and the last but not the least hopelessness (She didn't see that her life would/could get better than this). I also have experience living in the West, and part of my personalities are very similar to hers; very discreet about my personal life. In fact, the way she acted with the social media in HK was exactly like the way she was with her mother, didn't tell anything that might/would shock the public (like living with a bf or having sex before marriage etc). It would ruin her perfect idol image.

i just found out this nice n most remembrance website abt barbara yung, very touching love story.

just curious to knw she die on 1 week after her birthday on 14th May, when her birthday was on 07th May.

My question is she not happy on her 1985 birthday celebration or no1 celebrated with her?

Why after 1 week??

Just too sad to accept her gone forever in this world.

不知道怎么又来到这里，也许是心的灵犀，也许是上帝的旨意，懐念妳，永远的黄蓉，永远的 Barbara Yung！

I still have a collection of Barbara's pictures, posters and media articles. I have never loved another actress like i loved her again

Hi Bob,
It was said that, many of the unresolved questios have been answered after meeting with Barbara's family again. Would you share with us why Barbara joined HK showbiz despite her former seemingly lack of interest?

thanks.

The most touching words are not I love you or be together, but instead, I'm here when I'm weak.
世界上最动听的情话，不是“我爱你”，不是“在一起”，而是在我最脆弱的时候，你说：“我在”

To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
对于世界而言，你是一个人；但是对于某个人，你是他的整个世界。

芭芭拉1982年初离开香港的原因，我认为是圣诞节连一张祝福的贺卡都没收到，太伤心了离开了英国。断绝了一切和你的联系。你把她伤透了。你不得不承认当时你忘了她，如此亲密的五年你把他忘的一干二净，我指责的没错吧。送一张圣诞祝福卡，不能算介入别人的生活吧。希望你写书的时候把你的心路历程坦率的写出来。知道芭芭拉离开人间，你才惊醒。你认为她找到了幸福，你见到了吗？即使分手你也应该看护她，直到她真正找到幸福。这才是一个负责任的男人应该做的事情。你在当时并不长情。知道芭芭拉离开人间才惊醒你。代价太大了。

Thank you, Rob. I'll know the answer in more than a year. I hope everything goes well and you'll get a satisfactory circulation. Let more people remember barbara. forever.

Dear Rob:
Thank you for setting up this website for all of Barbara's fans. You have really made us all very happy with all these memories! I found this website because one of my idols, Yammie Nam, passed away last Saturday. Like Barbara, she passed away in tragic circumstances. I have never felt so depressed since Barbara died. I was lucky enough to have met her in 1983 Miss Chinatown at the Hippodrome. I was doing a programme for my Chinese School and my sister presented flowers to a guest. My late father also met her as he worked for a Chinese Newspaper. Of course we didn't know at the time she will become our idol! When she passed away, I was devastated as I was doing my A levels at the time. I hope I can pay respect for Barbara in Cambridge one day. I live in London so definitely will go up there. My favourite part so far is when you talk about the cars you had as I am a petrol head. For £250 you can get a used car-those were the happy days! Very best wishes! Peter

Hi Rob and Peter. Very sad news re: Yammie Nam. Yes I remember that competition when Barbara came 2nd. I remember my parents saying that the winner is half Chinese, it's not fair, lol! But I thought she was pretty, who cares. But Barbara was good looking too. The year was definitely 1980 because the England played in the European Championship. The venue where the beauty contest took place was called Talk of the Town, latter became the Hippodrome where I used to dance there. Famous Hong Kong artists also went and performed there, Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui, Carina Lau, Maggie Taunt, Stephanie Lai, to name a few. Good luck with the book, Rob! Hope to see it in the shop soon.

Good afternoon Rob. Thanks for getting back to me. I see if I can find the 1980 Chinese Chamber of Commerce annual report which has the details the contest and photos.

Thanks Rob,very moved

I want to thank you so much for sharing your life with Barbara. Only a true selfless person would do that.

Thinking of you on this 14th day of May, Barbara...

Barbara，在天堂安好！
永远的蓉儿。
