Although the two are not from the same generation, but Louise Lee and Shirley Yeung are both winners from a beauty pageant. Recently the two meet again playing the same role but different ages in "Moonlight Resonance". They both have different views on fame and fortune but one thing they do have in common, is being faithful in love. Women of which ever age will always be an enemy with the word "love".
Louise and Shirley reveal that they both entered the industry through a beauty pageant. Louise was 1968's "Hong Kong Princess", whereas Shirley was 2001's "Miss Hong Kong". Previously in "Moonlight", the producer saw similarities within the two and decided to ask Shirley to play Louise's younger version in the series. At first Louise was against this idea: "I have asked by the produce choose Sze Kei Mui? I think for one, she does not look like me - she is very petite. Also, I am a northener." Moreover, Shirley had always praised Louise for being very beautiful when she was young.
Since they are beautiful women, they will have pursuers. Louise talks about when she was young: "There used to be alot of guys who would chase after after but I didn't choose any of them because I only wanted someone who was truly kind to me. My mum wouldn't allow me to date either, and would tell me to see a few more others before deciding. However, I insisted being with a poor doctor, because before I married, my ex-husband's family had financial troubles, but I thought this guy was well-educated and treated me really well. I am not an inconsistent woman, in mandarin it's called 'dead heart eye'." As a result, Louise had to face two failed marriages.
You can say that through her experiences, Shirley can sympathise. Her mother had once tried "separate mandarin ducks" - forcing Shirley to break up with Gregory Lee. She explains that: "My mum never disagreed, but she definitely did remind me during school. Luckily in the end, she allowed me to develop relationships freely. I have always kept my relationships on a low-key and there was never alot guys who had pursued after me - even though I had alot of guy friends, they would discover my standpoint very quickly and therefore, we would not take a step further."
Sze Kei Jie has been in the entertainment circle for over 30 years and sees fame and fortune very faintly. Last year she took the title as "Best Actress" and rumors also followed. She says: "Last year they said that Suzanna Kwan and I did not get along. This year they say that I told on Raymond Lam to the executives, why would I do that? People do things while God watches, he can be my son! So starting from next year, I decided that I will not take part in the awards ceremony, and hope to give more chances to other people."
Louise's personality is that she cries out when there is injustice, whereas Shirley's is rather delicate - she will not make a voice when she is being teased. Louise laughs: "I believe she will get teased by others!" Embarrassed, Shirley explains: "From a very young age, my mum taught me to never say random things, if you do not understand, don't pretend that you do - you must listen carefully to what one says. Of course there are times when I am unhappy, I cry alot but after crying, everything will be okay because I have the support of family and friends."
Louise's daughter currently resides in Canada - mother and daughter separated on two completely different land and when she knows that Shirley and her family are living together, she says: "Shirley is such a nice girl, but because my daughter is not living with me, and if anything happens to her, I don't even know. However, I know that she is a very direct person and like me, she will make a sound if something wrong." Shirley will also treat her family with the greatest respect and care and is willing to give her complete income to her mother. She smiles: "Many people say that I am too frugal, but I only spend when I should. I don't mind supporting my family financially at all, when my family is happy, then I'm happy."
When Sze Kei Jie and Sze Kei Mui first meet, they are like old friends. However, who would've guessed that not only does Louise admire Shirley being a filial daughter and how pretty she is, but thinks her "child's voice" is very unique. Louise says: "Every person knows how to sing, but in order to entice people, you will need a very unique appeal. I really admire Shirley's voice - its extremely pure and the feeling I get from Shirley is a bit like Faye Wong's."
