#SHOWBIZ: TVB actress Nancy Sit, 75, rekindles love with man 17 years her junior
HONG KONG: Veteran Hong Kong actress Nancy Sit made headlines in 2018 when she revealed she had been in a 12-year relationship with a man 17 years her junior. According to Lianhe Zaobao, Sit, 75, once harboured doubts about their age gap, which eventually led to their breakup. However, it appears their love story isn't over yet, as the TVB legend and her partner – known as Andy – have rekindled their romance. In a recent interview with Hong Kong media personality Stephen Chan, Sit gave a heartfelt shout-out to her lover, saying: "I hope our love will be eternal." She admitted she was initially hesitant to accept Andy's affections. "He has many options, yet he has treated me so well all these years," she explained. "I struggle with the age difference because I may leave this world before he does. I even talked to my eldest daughter, who told me not to worry and just enjoy the present moment," she shared. Despite her feelings for Andy, Sit – known for her roles in dramas such as A Kindred Spirit (1999), Return Of The Cuckoo (2000), and Virtues Of Harmony (2001) – has no plans on remarrying, as she wants to avoid the troubles of going through another divorce. The actress has two daughters and a son from her previous marriage to businessman Shek Bo Hing, which ended in divorce in 1995. Sit shared that her children had accepted Andy, who joins them on family trips. She expressed deep gratitude to Andy, stating: "It is rare to have such a sweet experience at this stage in my life. Whenever I face difficulties, you are there for me. Meeting you has been such a blessing. I hope we can continue to be as loving and blissful."

In a recent interview with Hong Kong media personality Stephen Chan, Sit gave a shout-out to her lover, saying: 'I hope our love will be eternal.'

I often think about this and even talked to my eldest daughter, who told me not to worry and just enjoy the present moment,' she said.

Looking for a proper adventure story for your children? Try this
Lui Sit's debut novel, Land of the Last Wildcat, is described by its publishers as an adventure story with ' environmental messaging ' – a prospect which might not make your heart sing. Saving the planet has become the central subject of children's publishing, and young readers brought up on titles such as Let's Save Earth and Recycling is Crab-ulous! might feel they have received enough messaging already. But this engrossing story turns out to be considerably more fun than its sales pitch. Our heroine is 10-year-old Puffin, a girl whose father has died, and whose scientist mother is frequently away on field trips – leaving her in the care of a family friend, who has become her surrogate grandfather: 'For as long as Puffin could remember, Mum had always been busy with work… After Dad died, it was often Grandad Moe who attended Puffin's school assemblies or parent days in Mum's place.' When the story begins, Puffin's mother is away on a remote island, pursuing her quest to find 'the kuri' – an elusive wildcat, believed to have unique powers of healing. ('Humans claim that there are seven natural wonders in the world… Maybe the kuri is the eighth.') Puffin has always taken an interest in her mother's work, and cannot understand why, on this occasion, her mother is being so secretive about her research. When Puffin and her friend Lance start to investigate, they find something far more exciting than they had bargained for – and far more challenging. It's up to them to outwit the sinister figure of Mr Smoult, and ensure that the precious wildcat imprisoned in his laboratory is not sacrificed for his avaricious ends. Sit is a highly suspenseful storyteller, who unravels a dense plot in less than 300 pages, and plunges her heroine into the sort of white-knuckle capers reminiscent of the lost worlds of Biggles and Boy's Own. 'She smashed through the doors, sprinting down the museum corridor… Lance was fast following, but close on his heels was Smoult, his face contorted with fury…' goes one typical passage. But amidst the action, Sit allows her characters time to reveal themselves, and one of the most satisfying aspects of the novel lies in the bond that the lonely heroine forms with the lost wildcat: 'She didn't know why, but the kuri felt a part of her. Gazing into the kuri's glimmering pupils, her feelings were affirmed by seeing her own blurry face mirrored.' Sit explains in an author's note that she spent much of her childhood playing in the urban Australian bushland, which instilled her lifelong love of wildlife, and led her 'to become a wilderness campaigner'. She does not hide those environmental concerns: 'Mum says nature heals only if we look after it,' Puffin observes slightly priggishly. But Sit is too good a writer to let the messages spoil the plot – and at its heart this is not so much a book about saving the planet, as a time-old story about the transformative bond between an animal and a child.

HK singer Fiona Sit opens up about Khalil Fong's death: 'Half of me is gone'
Hong Kong artiste Fiona Sit has a deep friendship with late singer Khalil Fong. Photos: Fiona Sit/Instagram, Asia News Network Hong Kong celebrity Fiona Sit has opened up about the death of fellow singer Khalil Fong, who's widely rumoured to be her ex-boyfriend. Fong passed away at the age of 41 on Feb 21 after a five-year battle with an unspecified illness. In an interview with a Chinese magazine, Sit, 43, shared that she had turned down several work offers following the loss but honoured prior commitments that were already scheduled. The singer also admitted that she had considered postponing the announcement of her concert but ultimately decided to go through with it as she didn't want her emotions to interfere with her professional responsibilities. 'In the end, I still have to be rational. What good will come from announcing it later?' she said. Sit also revealed that while she cried on the first day after hearing of Fong's death, her body had not fully processed the news, leading her to collapse shortly after. 'I couldn't do anything and started losing my appetite. I vomited when I didn't eat … It was difficult to breathe. It felt as if half of me was gone,' she said. The grief was so overwhelming that Sit sought counselling to cope. Though the singer had previously learned to let go, she admitted that it was easier said than done. Despite these challenges, Sit reiterated that she would try to move on and live a fulfilling life, just as Fong would've wanted for her.
