Kabei: Our Mother
One of the most endearing and well-loved stars of the Hong Kong entertainment scene, Lydia Sum Tin-ha, 60, has passed on at the Queen Mary hospital after a long battle with a combination of illnesses.
This is very sad news for those of us who practically grew up with her, watching her on TV in countless TVB drama serials and variety shows as well as films like the It’s A Mad Mad World series. In October last year, Sum, fondly known as Fei-fei, was rushed to hospital after she collapsed at home. She was then put in the intensive care unit in serious condition. The year before that, she had 32 gallstones removed and also a 2.7kg tumour. If anything, she was a real fighter and her sunny disposition never faded.
Sum debut as a child actress with Shaw Brothers in 1960. She became even more well-known with the highly popular TVB variety show, Enjoy Yourself Tonight.

Oh man, this is really heartbreaking to hear. I was one of those who grew up watching her and I looked up to her like an auntie. “Fei-fei” was truly one of the most memorable personality in Hong Kong showbiz.
She will be missed.
