Closer to home, local actor Guo Liang reminisced about his memories of Kathy Chow, whom he worked with on the 2008 version of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, in an interview with Lianhe Zaobao. Kathy played Bao Xiruo, who was deceived into marrying Guo Liang's Wanyan Honglie.

He recalled: "Kathy had no airs about her and was much more approachable than I expected. She was very cheerful and relaxed on set, and quickly got into the groove of acting."

The 53-year-old said that he was shocked to hear the news of her death and added with a sigh: "She and I are basically the same age. Among the colleagues I've starred opposite, that she should be the first to go prematurely..."
