In remembrance – Lydia Shum

February 20th, 2008 marked the gloomy day for Hong Kong entertainment circle - this is the day where Lydia Shum Din-Ha, also known as Lydia Sum (殿 aka Fei Fei , literally Fat Fat, Fat Sister or Fatty), a popular Hong Kong comedienne, MC and actress known for her portly figure, signature dark rimmed glasses and bouffant hairstyle, passed away due to liver cancer.

She was so affectionately known to peers and fans and stood out as one of the most endearing and recognizable entertainment icons in Hong Kong society, that we recalled one of our customers who is Lydia's die-hard fans, actually ordered a huge eikon of Lydia Shum and placed it at her retail shop front! What a fan!

But Lydia who had remained a popular public figure for nearly five decades, is more than just a popular actress or TVB entertainer. She shines like a legendary star, a single mother and a brave warrior against her illnesses - living up to her life motto: 'fate is in our own hands'.

Lydia Shum will forever be remembered: an iconic Eikon.
