Vancouver Mayor Sam Sullivan has declared June 1, 2008 a day to commemorate Hong Kong comedienne Lydia Shum. On 21 July 2022 she is featured as a Google Doodle. The actress and talk-show host was born on June 1, 1945, according to an obituary written by Hong Kong's TVB station, where Shum worked for decades, although there are two other versions of her birth date.
Lydia was a versatile artiste: she played different roles on TV and in films, and she hosted an array of programmes. All these roles strengthened her image as the “Happy Fruit”, while her own cheerful qualities in turn enriched this same image. The stars and friends who took part in Fei Fei Inviting All Guests, Happy and Fun Concert in 2000 are walking proof of how the “Happy Fruit” thrived and enjoyed a great deal of success.
