Love and career is balanced well for 2001 Miss Hong Kong winner, Shirley Yeung. She has been Gregory Lee for a number of years without their relationship changing and career-wise, she receives series after a series.

Recently, Shirley has been constantly promoting her new series “Pages Of Treasures”. It looks as if she has taken part in many activities, such as hosting, singing, stage dramas, etc; showing how true she is to her job. However, approaching 31 years of age, Shirley is a TVB fa dan so calling her “Sze Ki Jie” is appropriate – but she still smiles and says: “It’s Sze Ki Mui!” Not sure whether its because people have been calling her that for a long time, but Shirley believes that the distance between her and Louise Lee has been closer than before.

“Some of my friends play around and call me ‘Sze Ki Jie’, but when you ask me, my status isn’t that high to be called that. What’s funny about it is that I feel as if I’m closer to Sze Kei Jie, like pulling completely different people together. Unfortunately, we have never actually worked together before. The only time was in “Moonlight Resonance” where we played the same person. I hope there will be a series where she can play my mum, so the time I get to work with her will be longer. I think the feeling will be very cute.”

Shirley also reveals that she hopes to film a series set in the 60s or 70s period; like “Old Time Buddy” because this time period’s appearance gives her a feeling of the past, but sadly, she has not had the chance yet.

“If there is a chance, I would hope to work with Gallen Lo, because I often watch his series like “At The Threshold Of An Era” and “Cold Blood Warm Heart”. I want to learn even more acting skills from him, because its funny when he makes jokes.”

“I also want to work with Michelle Yim, she is awesome! She definitely has the skills to portray a villain really well. I remember the first time working with her was in “The Brink Of Law”, and it was also my first time as a villain!” (Aren’t you afraid that playing a villain will give the audience a negative feeling towards you?) “I have played a good, enthusiastic girl numerous times so I would like to try different roles. When I first took on a villain role, I have thought about the audience having a negative feeling towards me, but the result was very fresh and I received many comments – a surprised finish.”

Film series, movies, being a host and singing children songs, etc, Shirley has tried almost everything. When asked which her favourite part of her job is, after some thinking, she says: “Although I love filming series, but I actually want to try new things. Hope there is a chance to film movies again, where I have more screen time. Or maybe stage drama or opera, because this way I an approach an even broader audience. This really tests their reaction and is good experience to gain even more acting skills.”
