Grief has been shot on social media since former Hong Kong actress Yammie Lam was found dead at home at the age of 55 on Saturday morning (November 3rd).
The actress was famous in the 1980s and 1990s and was once famous for her great beauty. But Lam lived a difficult life and her last years were spent in despair – she was plagued by mental health problems, declared bankrupt and had to live with financial help.
Many Internet users on the Chinese Weibo microblogging site have posted images and videos of the actress in her most famous role as a Spider Woman in A Chinese Odyssey in 1995 and lamented her difficult life.
Chinese media Sina News reported that actress Carina Lau, Lam's classmate in TVB's TVET training program, had reacted to Lam's death by saying: "It is She was too young, I have recently received several news from friends and people I know who are passing away and I am pretty affected.
"I hope she's happier and freer now than she is at another place."
The actor Chapman To also posted on his Facebook page a black and white image of Lam and said: "We will never forget that Hong Kong once had such a wonderful actress.So rest in peace . "
<! – Sina News also reported that veteran actor Law Kar-ying, another cast member in A Chinese Odyssey, had posted on his Wechat newspaper about Lam.
He wrote: "We do not stay in touch, but I once saw her having supper at the edge of a road." She then told me that there was supernatural "things" that harassed her, and I hope she's resting in peace. "
Lam allegedly began to suffer from mental health problems in the late 1990s. One time she confessed during an interview that she had attempted suicide by cutting her wrists during a period of romantic uproar. .
In the same interview, which was revealed for the first time in 2013, she said she was raped by two of the biggest players in the entertainment industry, but the names had been censored from the clip. This year, the story has resurfaced with a video showing that Lam supposedly named the two rapists the late actor-director Alan Tang and his funny Eric Tsang.
Tsang has also been accused of sexual assault by former Ford Models president Grace Han, who claims to be a known sexual predator in the circle and has often targeted the models working under it.
Tsang denied the claims. But when the news of Lam's death was announced, netizens rushed to Tsang's Weibo to leave comments on his page. The first message that appears in his feed, a photo of a luxury cruise in which he participates, published Oct. 16 this year, was inundated with comments on Lam's passing.
The message now contains over 10,000 comments, many simply posting a line saying "Yammie Lam is dead". Others have criticized Tsang for ruining Lam's life and asking him to wait for karma to catch up with him.
