Hong Kong actor Peter Pang continues working to pay over US$40,000 cancer treatment costs
Hong Kong actor Peter Pang, who is currently battling stage three rectal cancer, has said that he will "keep working hard". The 54-year-old, who has been dubbed Hong Kong broadcaster TVB's "go-to villain" due to his many antagonistic TV drama roles, was diagnosed with cancer in July 2023 after doctors discovered a tumour about 5cm in size in his rectum.
According to Hong Kong media outlets, Pang had to stop working to focus on his treatment and has since depleted his savings.
TVB recently reported that Pang is now "tirelessly working" to cover the cost of his medical expenses, estimated at about 300,000 yuan (US$41,800).
One of Pang's recent gigs was performing at a nightclub in mainland China, which Pang himself posted on his Xiaohongshu page.
The event saw him being greeted by lines of fans as he entered the venue. In the video, Pang can be seen leading clubbers in singing Sky by the rock band Beyond.
"I'm grateful that I can still use this body to perform for everyone. I'll keep working hard," wrote Pang in his post.

Tavia Yeung joins Raymond Lam's concert crowd, ends night with bus ride to hotpot
HONG KONG: Hong Kong singer-actor Raymond Lam is one fortunate dude. His Hong Kong Coliseum concert wasn't just about awesome guest artists like his former co-star Linda Chung; he also had a huge crew of his famous pals there, totally rallying behind him, according to The Star. Talk about a great support system. Photo: Instagram/Tavia Yeung Out of all the people there on one of his concert nights, Tavia Yeung, a former TVB actress, was definitely among them. Long-time friends Yeung and Lam's friendship goes way back – almost 25 years, actually! They've been pals ever since they graduated from TVB's 13th acting class together. Their class really showed up in full force at the concert! We spotted so many familiar faces—Mat Yeung, Tsui Wing, Meini Cheung, Raymond Chiu, Jones Lee, Bond Chan, and Olivia Fu were all there too. It felt like a proper reunion. Apparently, Yeung was spotted at Lam's concert with some of her former classmates. And it's not surprising they're so close, considering they've actually acted together in a bunch of TVB dramas, including Golden Faith , Twin Of Brothers , Face To Fate , and The Mysteries Of Love. According to , Lam recognised Yeung in the crowd when she exclaimed, 'See you at hotpot later!' See also Moses Chan makes SGD5.2 million a year at TVB Hotpot after the concert And just like she said, fans later saw the actress going for hotpot after the and her friends took a public bus to their destination. She was actually wearing a purple face mask, but that didn't stop passengers on the bus from recognising her. Then, to make things even better, she posted a photo on Instagram showing her and her friends on their bus journey. 'What a night to remember! Lam's concert was incredible—he really gave it his all. And as if that wasn't enough, we headed straight to Tsui Wing's afterward for some mouthwatering hotpot. Seriously, it felt like Lam actually put together a full-on Hong Kong Coliseum reunion specifically for our 13th intake So special.' It was not certain if Lam joined Yeung for hotpot post-concert. It's actually not that surprising, given that Yeung has celebrated her birthday with her old TVB acting classmates before, instead of with her husband, actor Him Law. Tavia Yeung Sin-yiu (born August 30, 1979), also previously known as Tavia Yeung Yi, is a Hong Kong actress. She began her career after graduating from TVB's acting classes in 1999, initially appearing in music videos and as an extra in TV dramas. She gained recognition for her supporting role in Vigilante Force (2003), earning the TVB Anniversary Award for Most Improved Female Artiste. Notable works Her notable works include Moonlight Resonance (2008), Beyond the Realm of Conscience (2009), The Mysteries of Love (2010), The Hippocratic Crush (2012), and S ilver Spoon, Sterling Shackles (2012). Raymond Lam (born Dec 8, 1979) is a prominent Hong Kong actor and singer.

Kate Tsui, the missing former TVB actress, finally spotted in a Parisian art museum
FRANCE: Has the 'missing person' former TVB actress Kate Tsui been found? Following former TVB actor Raymond Lam's recent performances in Hong Kong, people have started to remember his famous 'Let's Get Wet' duet with Tsui from the former's Light Up My Live program in 2012, as reported by 8Days. Photo: Instagram/Kate Tsui That triggered the question of where on earth Tsui is now. Back in 2019, the former TVB actress, now 45, stepped away from the entertainment world to pursue a PhD in psychology in Europe. Low profile Following that, she has maintained a low profile, except for one instance in 2022 when she attended a charity event in Malaysia. Not even her former co-stars are aware of her whereabouts. When Lam was questioned about Tsui after his concert, he referred to his Highs and Lows co-star as a 'missing person,' revealing that both he and fellow co-star Ron Ng are unaware of her current whereabouts. It's not just Lam, though. Ng also admitted in a past interview that he has been seriously trying to track Tsui down. He even went so far as to ask fans to please let her know he's looking for her if they ever bump into her. Additionally, it makes sense that he'd be keen to find her, especially since Ng played her love interest in numerous TVB dramas, including The Brink of Law (2007), Forensic Heroes III (2011), Wax and Wane (2011), and Season of Love (2019). Spotted in Paris Additionally, it appears that someone was quite fortunate to have recently met the anonymous celebrity. A netizen recently reported on Xiaohongshu that Tsui was spotted at an art museum in Paris. A photo of the star dressed in a white dress, staring intently at an exhibit, was posted on social media. To show just how worried they were about Tsui, one fan even quoted lines from Raymond Lam's song 'Done Being Naive,' which, fittingly enough, was the theme song for Highs and Lows . They wanted to know: 'Have you been happy in recent years? And have you been constantly busy?' Apparently, Hong Kong actress Jessica Hsuan is the only person who knows the whereabouts of Tsui all along. Hsuan is in touch with Tsui In a recent interview, Hsuan shared some good news: she's actually still in touch with Tsui. They clicked and became friends in 2009 while filming a travel show in East Africa. Hsuan also let slip that they've got a group chat going, but she wouldn't share much more, hinting that 'maybe [Kate] really wants to hide from the world.' When asked if there's any hope of her friend returning to showbiz, Hsuan simply said, 'If she's been so silent, I doubt she will.'
