My Take
Linda Chung fascinates me because she crossed borders the hard way. Born in Maple Ridge, Canada, she won Miss Chinese International and then conquered Hong Kong's TVB as an actress, singer and songwriter, all in a language and culture far from where she grew up. That takes real talent and even more nerve. I admire that she could sing, act and compose, then walk away cleanly when she ended her TVB contract in 2018, leaving on her own terms. Her UBC education hints at the grounded intelligence behind the glamour. To me she embodies the rare mix of star wattage and level-headed self-possession.
