Dear Rob:
I was so delightful to see all your story and pictures with Barbara. She was so beautiful with long hair during the picture taken by 1977 and 1978,and she looks very different with the pics when she was in HongKong with heavy make up. From the pictures and the story, I learnt more about UK cambridge and learn more about how a person is as barbara. I like her smile, I am glad that after so many years, barbara still have a place in your heart and you did this website in the memory of her. I can't help imaging that if barbara didnt suicide in 1985 and what her life would be in 2012 right now. I think me and Barbara share the same dream, so I understand her from your words.
Anyway, Rob, you did a good job, thanks for sharing!

Try go to TAI SENG ENTERTAINMENT (address: 170 South Spruce Ave., Suite 200 South San Francisco, CA 94080 or call 800-888-3836. Check www.tvb.com/tvbi or check ebay or amozon on website. Chinese rent video store have old series in Monterey Park, CA that I always go. I think you should try ask the owner because he always order and he sells it on Ebay. Don't buy VCD because it is missing parts. DVD is better than VCD.
Rob, do you want "United We Stand" videotape without english subtile?Do you have VCR? I will give you. She played twin sisters. One barbara is rude & mean tomboy and other barbara is sweet& nice woman.

I would like her shows on dvds for the 13th Sister and The Foundations (with or without English subtitles. Anyone know where I can get these as I live in Canada and some Asian stores may not ship to Canada. Perhaps someone knows some place in US, or anywhere else including Asia,where these can be ordered online? I would really like to know.

When I had read your stories attentively, I'm so sad. The love story between you and barbara had touched me so deeply, I even burst into tears. I think she is no longer a super star, but a ordinary people as us. I hope in the near future, I would have an opportunity to visit you, where do you live now? London or Netherland?

Dear Rob,
Thank you for taking the time to share with us the wonderful memories, which have been held close to your heart. You have given wings to a beautiful angel such as Barbara with these memories. Most people would only know her as the famous Barbara Yung, actress, legendary Wong Yung and with your memories, you have shown a side of her that was human with all our insecurities, strengths and complexities. I doubt that few would know her as well as you do after she's become famous. It is truly touching to know that she at least have felt and experienced a love that few in this world could ever say have felt. Thank you Rob for having given that to her and I'm sure enriched her life, so she became who she was. It is sad though that her insecurities got the better of her. I wish you the best, and may her memories live on forever more. Dank u well.

I'm here because I was one of Barbara's fan & your stories reminded my early years in England. I met a girl on the plane from HK, to whom I latter fell in love. We were not at the same city but we had similar life as Barbara's, going to college like CCTA and every Friday, we had to rush for work through the weekend at relatives' chippy by bus while our pals were driving away from parties. We only met 3 times and we both had important exams to take on the summer so I never told her what was on my mind. Those meetings were some of my best moments of my life. After the summer, she returned HK and we lost contact. I somehow managed to finish my studies and returned HK when Barbara's career was at its peak. Because of similar background, I thought of the girl every time when I saw Barbara in the screen. Like many many others, I was stunned when the news of her death broke out from radio that morning. A girl like her should deserve better and be protected by those who Barbara trusted.

Thanks Rob. I think everything happens for a reason. If she had married you and had a normal life, we would never know her. She had experienced wonderful love with you before she left this world. She is forever young in a lot of people's hearts. Ending is a beginning of a new one. Now she is in a better place. Wish you the best.

I ask my mother to look at these pictures together with me. She is even more interested in them. you might not know or understand how great the impact she has on generation and generation in China. Across China, nearly everyone born before 1990 know her. thanks for what you have shared with her fans.

Can you also give me the information too. I will really appreciate. Thank u
Hi Rob, that book was full of Barbara's pencil sketches. It mentioned that Barbara's uncle is a very artistic person who had made a positive influence on Barbara. The drawings were beautiful. I had moved to Hong Kong but I promise I will try to find that book for you.
Can you also give me the information too. I will really appreciate. Thank u

Hi Rob,
I do not know much about Barbara until reading your memoir today. I'm very touched and want to thank you for sharing your memories. Your story is also a good documentary of the culture and history background of that era. You should put together a book to preserve the stories. Best wishes to you and your family.

Barbara was the only actress that I am a fan of. Back then, I had hope to go to Hong Kong to see her in person. When I heard on the new she had died, I was shock and very sad.
It has been 27 years now but I, along with all her other fans, will always remember her.
She was pretty but I was more captivated by her character(fun loving,playful, mischievous)which match the role of Wong Yung perfectly.
Still miss you after all these years.

:sad: Hi, I too was Barbara biggest fan, but then again I guess we all are, or else we wouldn't be here.
This is the day when Barbara commited suicide and left behind those who truly love her. I just hope that she found happiness wherever she is now, and I hope she knows that we'll alway miss her, a lot.
Thank you Rob for the website,"Words cannot describe", How thoughful of you, now we all as a fan can express our feeling and a step closer to her by knowing her other half.

What a heart-broken love story! :sad: I still remember watching Barbara's TV series when I's a kid.
Being in an inter-racial marriage myself, I'm so thankful that my parents are always supportive and there's a much wider acceptance of interracial relationships nowadays. My heart trembled when I read how you two struggled in such a harsh and dilemmatical situation back in the 70's.
Best wishes to you and your family.
Cheers!

Rob, thanks for the valuable info of Barbara's early life. I'm not a big fan of her acting (thought she was a fairly pedestrian actress), but I find her life story captivating. I'm sure many people would've wished that she stayed with you in England and lived happily ever after and never had an acting career in HK. I believe her time at TVB and the pressure of that business was a big contributing part of why she did what she did. If you took that away, her personal problems would become so much more mundane and manageable. It was the brutal environment she was in, the cutthroat business at the time (when there was an all-out ratings war between rival stations TVB and RTV at the time) that never really allowed her to heal whatever that was ailing her. We have seen so many fallen celebrities: Whitney Houstin, Michael Jackson, Marilyn Monroe, Lin Dai (50s HK star), Leslie Cheung, etc. who likewise succumbed to their environments.

Dear Rob, thank you so much for this website. I was a fan of Barbara in my early teens, i collected a lot of her pictures with my very limited pocket money. recently, i was hoping to find some old video clips of her, i ended up in the site. all the photos of you and Barbara are so sweet looking. I'm so happy to learn that she had some happy times in her short life. Like Barbara, i also live my life between two cultures, "the Chinese Way" and " the American Way" somehow were both intertwined. when i was younger, it could be struggling at times. I knew in my heart, Barbara would had been much better off, if she had stayed in the western culture. i had a lot to relate to with your stories, thank you, thank you. after reading your stories, i couldn't help myself to look for some more information on Barbara, one thing i've found that had been bothering me for weeks, now, is the posting on the internet of some 3 HK men raped her that caused her death.. just couldn't get over it..

Just want to say thank you to you Rob for this website. i have been a fan of Barbara since I was a kid. for me your sharing first time shows her as an ordinary young girl facing sweet and bitter sides of real life. I do appreciate you and your friends memorize her as a friend long ago, sweet and young ever in memories.it is somehow comforting to see that she left darling memories in the people who she grew up with.
i wonder if you would like to have someone to help with translating more articles into Chinese so that more Chiense fans can visit the site.i would love to help if needed.

A few hours ago I was playing random songs on my piano then I decided to play some old tunes from old TVB series like the theme song from "The New Adventure of Chor Lau Heung". For some reason I couldn't remember the tune... so I hit youtube. Then somehow I ended looking at some tribute videos for Barbara Yung, and now I am on this web site. Another one of my Internet adventure.
Barbaba was a great actress with a magnificent presence on screen. Thanks for keeping this web site.

Hello Rob. Nearly a month ago, I posted the thread regarding Barbara on Thai popular webboard. After I have been reading your website for months, I should do something for her, so her Thai fans won't forget but know her more. I saw nobody wrote about her for 2 years already. I like her from the series LOCH83, then the thread focused on her role as Huang Rong.I refered this website on that thread(someone did before)and encouraged them to read here.
Today I see more of her fans from Thailand view your page. This really makes me smile, guess I did something for her already. Still hope to see the next move of this love story, like a movie, possible? Here is the thread (in Thai) http://www.pantip.com/cafe/chalermthai/topic/A11572060/A11572060.html

Rob. Barbara's Thai fans (from worldwide) remember her so well as Huang Rong. LOCH83 is truely a legend and also Ong Mei Ling (how we call her name in Thailand)as Huang Rong. New generations who have seen LOCH83 will love her too.I love those pictures of Felix Wong and Barbara in Thailand. She looked happy and was very beautiful.

Oh I see, but even in the last interview I read in your site here, she was mentioning that nothing special between her and Kent, just good friend and she got annoyed when people always asked about him in every interview! So if anything happend between her and michael no one will know except the two of them, anyway I wish they did hook up because they look like a real couple who adore each other :P

I agree with you that the relationship between Kent and Barbara is very confusion, especially how they present themselves to the media. Sometimes they are a couple (like in the latest video I published) and then in some interviews Barbara says they are just good friends. I suppose only Kent knows the real answer.

Hoi, ik kom uit hongkong. Ik ben in hongkong geboren en getogen. Barbara was mijn idool in mijn jeugd! Ik was heel verdrietig dat ze zelfmoord heeft gepleegd. Ik wist het niet tot nu pas dat ze een NL vriend had. Bedankt voor de mooie verhalen hier, maar het was zeker moeilijk voor jou geweest om de nieuws over haar zelfmoord te horen.
Ik ben getrouwd met een NL man, en mijn familie die ook in NL woont is niet blij met zo'n man. Ze hebben ook bijna zelfde verwachting als Barbara's moeder. Dus als ik je verhalen lees, kan ik me goed voorstellen hoe het was geweest voor jullie. Jammer dat jullie toen die tijd niet samen konden blijven. Maar het is ook goed dat je nu een mooie familie hebt!
