Translation of the blurb
After months of negotiation Steven Ma and 北京中港桃園影視傳媒有限公司 finally signed the contract of collaboration on the evening of December 6th in Shenzhen.  Next year January 1st  "Zhong-Xiang Taoyuan Steven Ma Work Studio"「中港桃園馬浚偉工作室」in Beijing will officially commence operations. Zhong-Xiang TaoYuan company will arrange a manager, publicity staff and assistant etc for him.  The company will arrange for Steven to film at least two tv series, one movie, and source new songs for his music album every year. Just for the movie alone, the company plans to invest around 10 to 30 million rmb as capital and development funds for Steven's studio to shoot and plan the movies he wants to film.

Magscan: 2014 January 1st, Steven's studio will officially commence operations in Beijing. Steven will spend both his new year festivals performing on stage -- Foshan on Dec 31 2013, and the US/Canada on Chinese New Year.  TVB has invited Steven to shoot a series but because of time conflict Steven declined. 

*************************************************
So there it is, confirmation of Steven's first directed movie, no surprise there as he had talked about that dream of his quite often in the media.  Happy to know he has the opportunity to realise that dream of his.  Lucky are those who are given the opportunity to realise a dream of theirs, and luckier still are those who can accomplish their dreams to their satisfaction.

It would be really something to behold if Steven can somehow, miraculously, get his 3 'sisters' to portray 3 of his 4 sisters.

Eta from Eunice Lam's blog: 
馬浚偉也來了，他想拍他自己喪母經歷的電影。這個人，每談起母親便哭。自從他六歲開始，他的媽媽已經是個鼻咽癌病人。這小男孩天天一有空便陪着媽媽。媽媽有時能吃能走的，有一次剛全家坐下吃飯，媽媽忽然掩着鼻子急奔洗手間，過了一會兒若無其事地出來。但馬浚偉有所懷疑，跑到洗手間一看，鏡面顯然有剛抹乾淨的痕跡，他知道是媽媽抹的，她要抹掉鼻子所噴在鏡子上的血，可是抹漏了滴在廁所旁邊的幾滴。

媽媽就是那樣的病下去，直至後來耳聾眼盲。但是馬浚偉還是天天播映媽媽本來最愛的電影和電視節目給她看。雖然她聽不見也看不到，但是她知道。這一段母子情讓人心酸，馬浚偉沒法忘掉四十八歲便逝世的媽媽。

「寶寶姐，我想你演我媽媽，只有你我認為會演得最好。」馬浚偉已經向寶寶說了很多次，但她老不肯拍。我說：「主角是兒子啊，要演得最好的應是他。」寶寶說：「別叫我演媽媽，我最近才發現到我十七歲的情緒。人生幾何？我要享受一下十七歲。」我完全明白她的心態，別人是在談她的演技好，她要的卻是十七歲。她其實沒機會有過像正常十七歲的少女活過的日子，她三歲便當童星，幾時過過一個人從小女孩到十七歲的生活呢？她是秦沛口中「唯一的中國童星」，但她也是個失去了整個人的成長過程的人。如今她找到了，創作到了，她就想那樣地活一下，所有談演技的人如何了解她？

singpao 2013-12-14 Steven Ma Wants to sign up Fala Chen, and
appledaily 

Yesterday, as the event ambassadors, Steven Ma and Kandy Wong (Tong Mui) attended the  "Safe Driving and Health Campaign for Commercial Vehicle Drivers" 「至fit安全駕駛大行動」. Steven,  a honorary HK Safety Patrol Ambassador, expressed that though he is a careful driver, he has two experiences of being fined and points taken off for speeding, both times because he was too tired after filming and was too eager to get home. In the future he will be more cautious as he does not want to affect other people's lives.

Recently Steven has been busy preparing his 2nd music album this year, and also formulating his future development plans in mainland. He says once his "China TaoYuan Steven Ma Work Studio" (中國桃園馬浚偉工作室後) is established, the owner agreed to grant him an annual investment of 30 million yuan to film a movie and to act in two tv series.

He has already finished writing a  modern drama movie script. When asked if his newly established studio will sign up Fala Chen, Steven says: "Would like to! If it happens it will be in the latter half of next year. I've spoken of it once to Fala. Her reaction was: "Ah Goh, whatever you say!『阿哥，你話點就點！』" (Per her response, chances are high?)

Steven laughs: "If I ask, she dares say no? We are very close.  We'll have fun working together. Fala, Tavia and Linda are my 'sisters'.  If all three sisters can film together that would be even better.  This would be my debut as a director, so would like to have friends' support. This way, I'll have more confidence."   (TVB will release them?)  "My relationship with TVB is ok gei!"

Updated 2013/12/12 Steven Ma Launches Beijing Based Production Studio

On.cc 2013/dec/10

Translator: Tamaya @ AF

Evening December 6th 2013, Shenzhen: Steven Ma and Mr. Huang Hong, chairman of Beijing Zhonggang TaoYuan Television Media Company (北京中港桃园影视传媒有限公司), officially signed an agreement to jointly establish "Zhonggang TaoYuan Steven Ma Work Studio" 「中港桃園馬浚偉工作室」in Beijing.  Mr. Huang said such celebrity studio is the first for their company.

Per contract, Steven is granted an impressive sum of 30 million rmb to set up the said studio in Beijing. Furthermore, the company will also grant Steven a yearly budget of about 10 to 30 million rmb as investment funds for the studio's filming productions. The company will arrange for Steven to film at least two tv series and one movie per year.

Steven is elated. He said: "I feel that Mr. Huang's contractual terms and conditions are both comprehensive and reasonable; it also gives me much freedom. The company will arrange for me a manager, a publicity staff, and an assistant etc. Also will arrange for me to shoot at least two tv series and a movie each year.  Aside, I will also be involved in other related filming and singing aspects. We quickly came to a consensus on our work scheduling and details."

Although TVB has contacted Steven to film a new series and he is willing but because of his tight schedule it won't be until the latter half of next year before he can consider it.  In a few days' time Steven will fly over to Beijing to meet up with his new colleagues for a meeting.

Yesterday this (on.cc) reporter contacted Steven. When asked of his lead candidates for his movie, Steven said he still does not know if he will play the male lead or not. For the female lead he will consider the mainland actresses and his former TVB co-stars. He said: "For starters, I've contacted Fala Chen since her contract with TVB has just ended, so she has more leeway. "

Steven revealed that two years ago the said company had already intended to collaborate with him but unfortunately at the time he still had a contract with TVB.  It wasn't until September this year when Steven was in Beijing filming a movie that he met up with Mr. Huang Hong in a social gathering.  During their chat, Mr. Huang told Steven frankly that he had watched his series and that he appreciated his work. He thought Steven exudes a culture aura, and has a great potentiality. He believes Steven has a lot of room for development. During their talk, Mr. Huang proposed to Steven a work collaboration between his TaoYuan company and Steven.

Well, what can I say but a big congratulations to Steven for finding a financial backer for his work. Good luck and best wishes to his enterprises, and may his goals and dreams all come true sooner than later.  Trepidation notwithstanding for such a big collaboration, I am extremely happy for Steven.   But as a behind-the-scenes  producer we fans won't see him often on screen anymore.  Bummer! Btw, Tao Yuan site photo does not do Steven justice, moreover, too photoshop

2013 News Shun De - A ball of fire (Property Protector)

Eastweek Magazine
Tsui yong yong column
September 10 2013

Once, for ten years consecutively, I spent my days everyday alternating between the filming studios and the stage performance sites; if not, then travelling to the US and/or Canada, or roaming mainland China, or hurrying to South-East Asia. All this rushing around was so that I could be with him – my comrade-in-arms of ten years, Steven Ma —to combat different targets in different parts of the world. However, recently, our work relationship has changed and I no longer rushing around, if not for my visit to Property Protector filming site in Foshan, I would have already forgotten that I too once worked in such an arduous working condition. To call it arduous, arduous it truly was.

Hengdian: a place where heat so hot people die; its cold so cold people die from it too. I had endured both its summer and winter; I had also experienced eating on the run and the horror of going to a washroom without a toilet inside. Recalling, I truly don’t know how I got through that period. This time going to Foshan was in the afternoon of August 28th 2013 right smack in the middle of a heat wave of 38 C (100.4F); the land so hot it was suffused in haze. A group of Property Protector’s cast - the men attired in coarse, thick cloth costumes; the women dressed in layers of pre-modern costumes; all sealed from head to toes in their clothing. When the director gave the command, Steven Ma immediately did his scene, fighting from the top of a 10 feet+ elevated platform all the way down to the ground. He was on wire; he had to climb a tall hanging ladder. I saw sweat pouring incessantly from his forehead down his neck; no need to wipe the sweat off as more would pour anyway.

Aside, there was Ching Hor Wai all dressed up in 'qi pao' sitting inside a tent. Outside, the scorching sun rays beat down on the tent top. Sitting inside the tent, Ching Hor Wai persevered to finish her scene, and as soon as she was done she immediately fainted and had to be taken to the hospital. Producer Uncle Choi (Leung Choi Yuen) told me that Ching Hor Wai had bronchitis. Since arriving at Foshan she was constantly in and out of the hospital, and so far she had been administered three bags of saline IV at different times in all. On the day of my visit, she was once again taken to the hospital for her 4th saline IV.

However, despite its filming process being inadvertently affected by the flood catastrophe and the cast’s illnesses, Property Protector surprisinly finished its filming on schedule. At the filming production wrap-up celebratory dinner, I had a serious talk with Uncle Choi about these very issues. Incidentally, rarely do I see Uncle Choi looking so cheerful; after all, with a 30+ episode series, plus led a team to Foshan and filmed on-location in Shun De as well as TVB’s huge investment on this series, his responsibility as the producer was undoubtedly heavy, the pressure extra high; unless one is seasoned and experienced like Uncle Choi, the undertaking is not easy to handle.

“I’d put together a team of highly professional members, both cast and crew. There’s this ball of fire inside them. It is this fire in the belly that enabled us all to exude a team spirit despite the hardships along the way.”

The directing group gave their 100% efforts; the cameraman-videographer crew were all highly skilled and experienced, and the cast all willing to put in their utmost. The ‘team leader’ as Uncle Choi dubbed Steven; everybody knows his (Steven) character is indomitable; his person, strong-willed. To work him, one must tolerate his tenacity and perseverance.

“Ma Jai? He’s not just troublesome (煩)but very, very, very troublesome. But, why did I continue to collaborate with him series after series? Because we have the same ideals. I insist –the series must be shot well, those doing the shooting and those doing the acting in the series must have the feel, their skills be well-honed, every scene must have life, only then can it move people, and attract audience to watch.”

Steven is a person who will not hesitate to give suggestions on a scene. Thus, some people may find him troublesome; others may resent his intrusion.  But Uncle Choi greatly appreciates Steven’s attitude towards his work.

“He has his own personal viewpoint and creativity. One day, when filming this series, the director, Ma Jai and I were watching the surging waters in the river, just within three minutes we conceived a seeking-refuge-in-a-raging-river vision. These shots, whether filming or acting, were extremely difficulty to do but Ma Jai without so much as a word jumped into the river. He and I were already on the same wavelength, as soon as we said it we could immediately visualize the scene. I like thespians who take their work seriously. I like that Ma Jai has fire in his belly; only then will there be a fighting spirit, only then will there be creativity.”  Indeed, Steven encountering Uncle Choi, this Bak Lok, is truly blessed.

Uncle Choi is originally from Shun De. He has been filming tv series for over a decade, yet the fire inside him still burns strong.

“I want to film bucolic tv series. After filming in my hometown, Shun De, there is Zhong Shan, and  there's also Chao Shan; they all have many stories worth filming. This time filming Property Protector, looking at the shots – truly the scenic beauty of Guangdong water villages is no less inferior to Jiang Nan’s beautiful landscapes. Property Protector is very good.  I'm confident of its excellent quality; it's a tv series infused with a movie drama flavor.”

UPDATED Sep 7 Steven Ma Does Not Want to be a Mr. Nice Guy.

【Mingpao Weekly # 2339】
By: Tsui Yong Yong
I had previously made an appointment with Steven, who was filming a new TVB series, Property Protector, on-location in Foshan to meet up there at the end of August after he returns from attending the upcoming TVB press conference at the Films and TV Series Exhibition in Beijing. But turn out Steven did not attend the press conference as planned, instead he asked me to bring along certain medications for him at our appointed date of August 28th in Foshan. I suspected something was wrong with him.

On August 28th afternoon, Foshan’s temperature reached the high of 38 degrees Celsius (100.4 F). When my car arrived at the filming location in Foshan I saw a wide open space packed with people. After searching for a long time I finally saw a ‘water person’ standing in front of me. Though Steven was soaked through, his expression, fortunately, was that of delight.


The next day in the afternoon, taking advantage of his half day off Steven hired a driver to drive them to eat Double Layer Milk Custard (雙皮奶 – a local specialty) in Da Liang (tn: an hour's drive) Only then did Steven tell me: “Shooting this series is truly arduous. At first I had planned to go to Beijing but the day before departure during filming I suddenly felt a tightness in my chest, very uncomfortable. Uncle Choi (Producer Leung Choi Yuen) immediately sent me to the hospital. The doctor diagnosed the problem to be cardiac related, and I must rest immediately. And that I should not get on a plane as the air pressure changes might affect my heart, that’s why I was absent.”

Returning to TVB to film a series, Steven was very happy to see so many ex-colleagues, like returning to an alma mater. “Uncle Choi designed a new image; the series character - Poon Ka Yong is very stubborn. After being baptized by the flames of war his person has a righteous side but at the same time because he has been through countless life and death situations and has seen the dark side of human, he is very ruthless towards bad people. For self-preservation he continually has people killed. A rather complex character.

“I want make the character more three-dimensional, for him to go through changes; so I employ a different kind of acting, which is to portray a person forced by circumstances to become a ruthless character. I don’t want to always portray a Mr. nice guy. This is the real human being; a human being has many sides and is rather complex.”

After completing Property Protector TVB immediately approached Steven to film Apprentice Chef 3 and another new series. Steven said: “I have to go to Beijing to film a movie first, and also I have mainland tv series on hand to consider. So it’s all depend on timing whether I can collaborate with TVB or not.”

UPDATED sep 20: News on Steven's new movie 真愛無悔

Updated with a novel summary. link  updated with a previous movie adaption, Life is a miracle link2

Updated: confirmed by weibo sep 8 2013 Steven is indeed shooting the said movie.

If I'm not wrong Steven is in Beijing shooting or preparing to shoot a movie as the male lead of 《真愛無悔》formerly《天使之吻》, a remake of a 2001 movie 《生命因愛動聽》. The movie is collaboratively produced by 武漢華宇豐文化發展有限公司、北京銳奇偉業國際文化傳媒有限公司 and 香港影音使團 (The Media Evangelism Ltd. (TME).  The movie will be shown in 3000 or more theaters across China in 2014.  The leading lady is Yang Zi Yang 楊紫嫣, Concubine Jin from The Legend of Zhen Huan.  The reporter misprinted the actress' name wrongly -- should be 楊紫嫣 not 楊梓嫣

Sypnosis:  The movie is based on a real life story to Tracy from Sydney. It depicts how a husband quits his high paying computer related job to lovingly and patiently take care of his terminally ill cancer wife. His inner strength is greatly boosted by his unwavering faith in God. Steven portrays the husband.  Given his own personal experience with a cancer mother, he undoubtedly can empathize with the husband's pain.

Married for 2 years, female lead, social worker Tracy is diagnosed with terminal bone cancer.  Her husband, male lead He Wan Hao (何萬豪) resigns his job to take care of his wife, and to walk with her on the difficult road to the end of her life journey.  In their Christian faith they seek hope in their hopeless battle against cancer.

********************************
Steven says he can totally relate to He Wan Hao's feeling -- the ups and downs fighting cancer; the going in and out of hospital for treatments; the feeling of hopelessness and helplessness only that these feelings were felt toward his mother not to a wife -- these feelings, experiences and rush of memories will assist him to portray Man Ho with verisimilitude.  With faith, death is not fearful because the deceased are returning to their heavenly home.

wenweipo & singpao excerpt Sep 3 2013
西樵热天拍剧諯出事 马浚伟心脏不适入院

Steven Ma's heart affected by heat during filming in Xi Qiao.
Recently, TVB's new series Property Protector 《守业者》troupe went to Yingde, Guangzhou and Si Qiao for on location filming. Since production commenced, male lead, Steven Ma, has encountered several unexpected setbacks. First, his nose got injured by a prop gun so he needed a few days to recuperate. Next, TVB had prearranged for him to attend the TVB press conference in the Films and TV Series Exhibition held in Beijing, but unfortunately the day before his departure he had to go to the hospital to have his heart irregularity examined.  Apparently the combination of fatigue and extreme heat had aggravated his heart condition. As precaution to problems during flight, Steven decided not to attend the Beijing exhibition.

Steven said："Working in a 38 degree heat, not only was I sick but Ching Hor Wai was unwell too with bronchitis and was given 3 bags of saline IV in the hospital. But because the filming schedule was tight many people though not feeling still continued to work, and no one took sick leave. Very professional."

When filming in Ying De, the PP troupe encountered torrential rain brought on by Typhoon Utor causing flooding to many places.  Steven recalled: "One day when shooting a battle scene on a hill near a dam, the floodwater unexpectedly crested over the dam so the water needed to be released to relieve pressure built-up. The government told us to evacuate the area within 5 minutes so as not to put ourselves in danger trapped on the hill by the surging water."  

"Fortunately prior to the water drainage our troupe had already finished the Ying De on-location filming else with much of the beautiful sceneries under water later, our filming progress would definitely be seriously affected. Producer Leung was ever grateful to be so fortunate as to able to finish in time."

Property Protector finished filming the day before yesterday. To celebrate its completion which also happened to fall on Tavia Yeung's birthday, the troupe held a dinner celebration for Tavia and two other crew members. Steven even gave Tavia a big ang pow making her very happy.

Steven said that he had had a great time with his troupe members and that he was very happy to work with his former tvb colleagues again. After Property Protector completion, TVB immediately negotiated with Steven to film another new series and to shoot Apprentice Chef 3《大厨出马》. However, Steven has to film a movie in Beijing first.  His collaboration with TVB will have to depend on the script and his schedule.

东方新地 第815期：李思捷

Interviewer: Is it true that at one time your revising the script irked Steven Ma?

Johnson: True. At one time I was pretty cocky. Clearly in that scene I was the supporting character but revised the script to make myself the leading man, so it was very inappropriate.  If I were Steven, I would be mad too. If I did not encounter this kind of situations then, how would I know I was in the wrong.

Interviewer: Are you guys fine now?

Johnson: After collaborating in "Link to Temptations"《诱情转驳》 , whereby we acted brothers, he realized that I wasn't that "pu kai" (a prick), that I'm  actually a good person! And now we've become brothers. I even call him "ah goh" (older brother). Truly "不打不相识" (It takes a fight for them to get know each other.)

周：系咪有段时间改剧本改到马浚伟好憎你？

李：系，有段时间我好chur，明明??场戏自己系配角，都改到自己系主角，令到件事唔系好啱，我系马仔(马浚伟)我都嬲啦。如果我冇当年呢啲事发生，我点会知道自己唔啱呢！

李：我觉得我自己同佢哋唔同嘅地方系，佢两个本身系好搞笑嘅人、好有幽默感，随时讲到笑话；我就唔系，其实我个人几cool，所以我要做好多功课、去练好多次至做到，我又唔觉得自己好笑。
周：入行后有段时间未被无线重用，当时有冇谂过放弃？
李：我同自己讲如果30岁觉得自己唔适合呢行，咁就好转行嘞，但如果30岁觉得ok?、我系行呢条路?，咁咪继续啰！咁啱我30岁时TVB同我签经理人合约。
周：据闻你拍《玩嘢王》试过闹工作人员？
李：真心话、真系冇办法，TVB 45年嚟未试过足一个钟头嘅偷拍节目，大家都揣摸紧；当我睇到某啲嘢唔对路，我真系会出声，拍剧可以NG 10次、18次，但偷拍冇得NG，我承认我系有恶，但??个moment我务必要完成，之后我最多送扎花当众向佢道歉。

李：以前梗系想，但17岁点会媾一个巨星？何况我??时都唔识媾女，我21岁先初恋，当时个女朋友22岁，我系好迟先开始拍拖。
周：你依家个女朋友都系22岁吖！
李：我边个女朋友先？
周：食得??个春卷（王宝宝）呀！
李：个个都知，一讲呢样嘢我就唔答，我唔讲自己私人嘢。
周：点解唔肯讲女朋友呢？
李：我嘅theory好简单，我同记者、读者、任何香港市民一样，都系揸香港身份证，即系话，你哋有嘅权利，我都有；你哋有嘅私隐，我都有！唔系因为我系公众人物，就要expose我嘅私事。除非香港法律话公众人物就要expose佢嘅私事，但香港冇一条咁嘅例。
周：同陈雅伦有冇发展空间？
李：唔会无啦啦click，仔就话click啫，几十岁仲边会click！依家好睇relationship，讲family、讲将来。
周：近年有冇视边个女星为女神？

李：咁我又未死！我身边啲旧同学全部结晒婚生晒仔，所以我睇到佢哋啲小朋友长大，我知道晒个过程系点，所以到我??时，我唔会有乜惊喜，唯一惊喜系，我多咗个爱嘅人！
周：有咩嗜好？仲有冇蒲？
李：好少蒲，我钟意食饭同饮酒combine埋一齐，我好憎落酒吧玩骰盅饮到第二朝斜晒，我钟意打边炉，打到咁上下饮酒，揽头揽颈，12点眼瞓就返屋企。

Earlier when filming the TVB new series, Property Protector, Steven’s acting partner accidentally hit his (Steven's) nose and eye with a prop gun causing him to almost become a one-eyed person, and had his nose fractured and swollen so bad that even sneezing could impede his recovery progress. Steven was once worried that he might not be able to sing, thus affecting his concert.  Because Steven was also busy filming his resting time was lacking but on stage he was full of life and vitality, sang well and danced well.

Regardless in the sharing segment or singing fast songs segment, he successfully engaged and stirred the audience’s emotion, especially during the sharing session whereby sounds of tissues being used could be heard from time to time in the auditorium, so moved by Steven’s true feelings the audience tear up.  His stage presence and his ability to hold the stage greatly impressed the audience, bringing it home to them that Steven is not only an actor but that he actually debuted as a singer.  Even Catherine Tsang with her rigorous high standards and frugal praises went backstage after the show to praise Steven for his performance and his great improvement in singing, making the latter relieved.

Actually in the two consecutive night concert, Steven displayed both the emotional side and the sunny side of himself.  He first shared his vulnerable side through his songs in his sharing session. He recalled the day his mother passed away.  He was six years old when his mother was first diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer, and thereafter he accompanied his mother in her battle against cancer for twenty odd years.  (tn: 22 years)  She was about 40 something (tn: 48 years) when she passed away; so very young. Steven was so inconsolable at her passing that he had depression.  He said describing his late mother’s story was his Achilles heel.  Even now in his sharing, Steven looked teary-eyed.   He said: “Both while driving to the hospital and later sitting inside a taxi after my mom passed away, in different vehicles, from different radio stations, they all played this song sang by Gigi Leung, “Today”.   Steven then proceeded to sing “Today”.  In the past Steven found it difficult to control his emotion singing Today but this time he was able to restrain it, but still could see his eyes bright with unshed tears.

Today

After completing "Today", Steven went on to sing his late mother's favorite song, Deanie Ip's  (葉德嫻) "Weary" (倦).

Weary

When done singing “Weary” Steven continued his mother’s story.  He said: “Now that I’m done singing Deanie Ip’s "Weary" I want to share some more with everybody this one experience of my mother's passing.  Because my mother loved this song, even at the terminal phase of her cancer when she had lost both her senses of taste and hearing, she still loved to turn on the cassette tape player to listen to  “Weary”，so recently I composed this song dedicated to her:  “For Mother,  Weary”《給媽媽的『倦』》.  Actually what made me feel so guilty conscience strickened that I sank into deep depression was that I was the one who signed the consent paper for my mother’s surgery whereby an aperture would be surgically made in her stomach so that a feeding tube bringing nourishment could be inserted through it into her stomach to feed her. At the time the doctor said if nothing was done she would survive at most two weeks. At the time my mother did not want to do it, she even said to me that I was pushing her to die.  But we all did not want her to leave and so I made the decision. Even though the surgery was successful she caught post-surgery infection and in less than a day she left me. "

(tn: the following paragraph is confusing to me cos the report from Singpao differs from wenweipo. Was this Steven's comment to the reporter (Wenweipo) or did he say it to the audience? (singpao)

Steven had to frequently take deep breaths to temper his emotions.  The sound of tissues being used could be heard  throughout the auditorium. Steven continued: “Frankly whenever I came to this part I honestly could not hold my tears but I don’t want to cry because I still have to sing, so don’t want to have my vocal affected.  So I’m going to stop myself right here from continuing. I don’t even dare to look down stage at where my father and my sisters sit because I may not be able to resist my tears.  But I’m very grateful that today before you all I could share my mother’s story; that I can face it with courage. 

"I’m dismay every time I read/heard about children actually killed their parents over money, or be rebellious or troublesome to their parents.   Not everybody has the opportunity to be filial to their parents.  I hope this concert can appeal to everybody to cherish your family, to be filial to your parents; that’s one reason why I held this ‘music sharing’ concert.  Also, I hope everybody can absorb more positive energy from this sharing, and not be so negative.  For that I chose these more inspiring songs,  《前程錦繡》、《漫步人生路》、《念親恩》、《摘星》. I feel that we should radiate more positive energy so that there will be more harmony among people.

《漫步人生路》

As to elicited Catherine Tsang's praise, Steven said: "Very happy, because for a year I continuously practised my singing in secret. Moreover, the past few days I made time to rehearse diligently. Being able to elicite mentor's approval proved that my efforts were not wasted.  After this concert, turn out all these years I had never given up on music, and even now still love it. So these days besides filming series, I will put more time into music, whether in producing album or music related area."   

Aside, the first batch of his new album 《Cherish》has sold out and he is presently preparing to produce the 2nd batch.  Guess his next concert is just around the corner.
