TVB's new series "The Last Breakthrough" will begin airing today and a special premiere party was held in a hotel where cast members including Nick Cheung, Raymond Lam, Sonija Kwok, Candy Lo, Leila Tong and Bosco Wong were present together with a group of children dressed in different national costumes to perform dance routines. There was also a photo exhibition to show off the different scenes from various places.
During the event, Nick joined some children and played 'Rock Scissors Paper' with them, but he would not let them win. Afterwards, he said that the children were a lot of fun and it reminded him of when they were playing football with the local children whilst filming on location, using a ball that was made from a few material scraps tied together. The children played in bare feet, but they did very well. Nick says: "Maybe the Kenyan national team was trained up in this way." During filming, Nick got on particularly well with the local girls and boys and he laughs that they are all his godchildren. Nick often took them some of the food he had brought with him, but they were very polite and as well as smiling thanks to him, they would not open the food in front of him. Even if Nick told them to eat it, they would only take a little and then wrap the rest up.
Nick says: "I really miss them. (Why don't you have a child of your own?) We will not do things rashly, as we are both from the acting trade, we have abused our health in the past, so we have to get back to health first. I am using Chinese herbs to help bring back my fitness, so everything is just down to fate." Nick says that for the sake of his children, he does not even dare to drink cold drinks any more, but he is still worried because he is a sufferer of Thalassaemia and if his children inherit this from him, then they may have to have blood transfusions all their life. When it was mentioned that if his wife Esther does not have this gene then the chances of the child getting it would be slimmer, he says: "She has been for a test, but we have not had the results yet. However, even though I have this condition, it is only minor and my life is like any other normal person, so even if Raymond Lam faints, I won't!"
Here is a pic of Nick:
