Sheren Tang and Andy Lau Were Childhood Friends

In his concert series at the Hong Kong Coliseum, Andy Lau Tak Wah has invited numerous celebrities and personal friends to guest star onstage. The night before, Sheren Tang Shui Man joined Andy onstage and sang a song. Sheren even revealed that he was the first boy she brought home to see her parents!

When introducing Sheren before the audience, Andy said, “This woman was my childhood friend. We knew each other from school. Everyone has witnessed her efforts. Let’s welcome Kau Ku Neung!”

Sheren revealed, “Andy was the first boy I brought home to meet my Daddy!” Andy laughed, “Yes, I have met Sheren’s parents!” When they were students, Andy and Sheren often played together. He even visited her home on certain occasions. Sheren was surprised that Andy described her as a childhood friend, since she always regarded him as a big brother. Andy’s success in the entertainment industry became a motivating factor for Sheren as well.

Andy said, “I knew that Sheren wanted to challenge herself and have others appreciate her acting, so I nominated her to enter the TVB training class. I am quite smart, since I spotted her talent. I knew one day she would become Kau Ku Neung!” Sheren was grateful for Andy’s praise. Each time she grew tired from working and thought about taking a break, she saw that Andy continued to work very hard. Sheren reminded herself that she should continue to put in her best efforts.

When Andy invited her to perform at the Hong Kong Coliseum, Sheren grew very anxious. However, she brought forth her loyalty to sing the song "明星".

Veteran actress, Helena Law Lan, also appeared as a guest performer at Andy’s concert on the same night. Helena was awarded the Hong Kong Film Awards’ Best Actress in 2000, the same year that Andy Lau received the Best Actor Award. There was much excitement when the results were revealed that year. Helena and Andy worked together on TVB series, Return of the Condor Heroes "神鵰俠侶". Andy said, “I greatly admire Helena . While filming Return of the Condor Heroes, Helena put on ‘ugly’ make-up without any complaints. Her professionalism greatly affected me.” Other veteran artists such as Nam Hung and Wu Fung also appeared at Andy’s concert to support him.
