This is the 78th instalment in a biweekly series<\/a> profiling major Hong Kong pop culture figures of recent decades.<\/p>\n

At a press conference on April 20 at Hong Kong\u2019s MacPherson Stadium, the warm, easy banter onstage between veteran Hong Kong actors Michelle Yim Wai-ling and Ricky Lau Wai-man was the kind that can only be produced by decades of shared history.<\/p>\n

Yim \u00ad\u2013 better known by her stage name, Mai Suet, which phonetically inspired her English moniker \u2013 was there to announce a June music concert, titled \u201cFriends, You Have Rice 55 Party\u201d, marking a steady 55 years in the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, fellow former Commercial Television (CTV) star Lau, who has acted together with Yim in several drama series, had the room laughing as he joked about their early days.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we had been lucky 55 years ago, today would be our 55th wedding anniversary, but Mai Suet ignored me back then,\u201d he teased.<\/p>\n

It was a grounded, lighthearted moment that perfectly captured Yim today, who, at 70, remains a highly active presence in Hong Kong showbiz.<\/p>\n
