Kate Yeung, popular Hong Kong actress, revealed in an interview with Hong Kong tabloid Apple Daily, that she had taken on the full-time role working as a security guard at a university due to shortage of acting jobs during the pandemic. But before that, she had been working part-time as a florist and waitress.
The actress said that she had gained much-needed experience working these jobs as she entered the industry at 16 and so “don’t know much about the world outside of acting”. She also said the job allowed her to stop dwelling on Covid-19 news by allowing her to get out of the house. She added that she was sad to leave her work at the end of June.
Yeung was nominated in 2004 for a Golden Horse award for best supporting actress for the movie 20 30 40 in 2004, has a new acting project coming up and rehearsals start next month. She added “I have never left the entertainment industry and I will not give up because I really like acting too much”.
