Though many artists will be present at the 3-day event, music queen Sammi Cheng – also a devout Christian – will not be able to attend due to her being out of the country.
Actress Athena Chu will be presenting an award at the event. She indicated that due to the nature of the entertainment industry, many times, artists have to face a lot of struggle and conflict – for example, in order to stand out or get noticed, some people may resort to pushing others down or hurting them in other ways just to get ahead. Asked if she experienced these types of ‘conflicts’ during her career, Athena smiled and responded: “For me, it’s a very trivial matter. Before, when I was filming in Hunan [China], I did encounter some conflicts – perhaps because people in Hong Kong and people in China grow up in different environments, so their attitudes and ideas can be quite different as well. I’ve had differences of opinion with people at work before that were not too pleasant.” Athena expressed that whenever she encounters a difficult situation, the first thing she will do is pray to God – sometimes, even with a trivial matter such as whether she should change rooms or not [when she is out of town working], she would also pray about it. Laughing, she said: “In these types of matters, it is better to reach out to God to help me rather than rely on Paul.” [TN: her boyfriend – Beyond band member Paul Wang]
Singer Jade Kwan, who delayed her honeymoon in order to attend the event, says that she will be participating in tonight’s event, then will be flying to France with her husband: “I had actually wanted to attend all 3 days, however my husband’s birthday is in a couple days, so I was only able to commit to 1 day.” Jade indicated that she and her husband plan to have children and will try during their honeymoon trip. She also expressed that she is happy to hear that actress Gigi Lai is pregnant with twins and hopes that she herself can have boy/girl twins so she only needs to be pregnant once.
