I held a small gathering to announce the upcoming release of my new album. It’s been 16 years since I released my last album. To be honest, I’m not a professional singer, but I truly love singing. Many friends came to support me at the event, including Gao Xiao Song, Tamia Liu Tao, Yue Yun Peng, Chang She Lei, Lao Zai, Xiao Ke, and also many outstanding musicians and producers in the music industry. Thank you for coming to share my life in music. Thank you for letting me share my joy with you!
A documentary about China was recently released, called “Amazing China”. I was honoured when asked to sing a promotional song for the documentary, which is now released in China. I like this song a lot and the lyrics is very meaningful.
I’d like to share the song with all my fans and I hope you like the lyrics as well.

Although there’s still another 2 months before my birthday, but I’ve already started to receive so many well wishes and donations for charity from fans around the world. I’d like to take this opportunity to say a big “thank you” to everyone! And I also hope we can keep up this wonderful tradition ~ don’t buy me gifts. Send me your well wishes in the form of charity or donations for my charity. As always, I’ll match every dollar you donate with another dollar, and use your donations to help even more people. Thank you! Love you all.
I’m sure my fans and close friends already know that I have two golden retrievers, and they’ve been with me for many years. One is called JJ, the other is called Jones. It’s sad to see them getting old and a lot of health problems have started to come out. I always miss them when I’m not in Hong Kong. But, compared to the lonely stray dogs on the streets who have no one to look after them, I’d say JJ and Jones are considered very lucky. In support of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals Organization in Asia), I’d like to make an appeal to all pet lovers around the world, try adopting a pet instead of buying commercially bred animals. I hope everyone can be more compassionate towards stray dogs, stray cats, and other stray animals. This year is the year of the dog, and I’d like to take this opportunity with JJ and Jones to send you our well wishes! We hope you all have a wonderful Chinese New Year! May the year of the dog bring you good luck and prosperity! And may everything flourish in great ways~
I rushed back to Hong Kong to attend the funeral of my brother, Willie Chan. But just as I arrived, I received another sad and heartbreaking news. Mona Fong Yat Wah, Lady Shaw, my ‘Fong Jie’…passed away…. She and Run Run Shaw have watched me grow from an absolute nobody to a person that people became to know. We’ve known each other for so many decades. She’s a close friend and someone I highly respect. I last saw her in March while I was in Hong Kong, and we said that we’d have a party next time I’m in town. I’d never thought that that day was the last day I’d ever see her…. A lot of people don’t realize that saying ‘goodbye’ today might be the last goodbye ever! You might not get a chance to say it again.
Saying goodbye to my two close friends tonight has been tough. Words cannot describe how I feel at the moment. Why is it that we only truly understand how to cherish people after they’re gone? My dearest Fong Jie, Rest In Peace. My dearest brother, Rest In Peace. You’re always in my heart.
