Ng Man Tat Special FTV1 | March 3 | Wednesday | 10:35pm
The devastating news of Hong Kong veteran actor Richard Ng Man Tat’s passing on February 27th, 2021 upsets his fans across the globe. His prolific presence and devotion in the movie industry played a significant memory in many Hong Kong citizens’ heart. This Wednesday, let’s remember this comedic treasure with countless of his long-time friends on a tribute program, Ng Man Tat Special, broadcasted on Fairchild TV.
Vice Chairman of Fairchild Media Group Mr. Joe Chan and President of Fairchild Media Group Mr. George Lee along with the management team of Fairchild Group led the department heads of Fairchild TV in a traditional ceremony to wish for every success this year. Following the health and safety guidelines, the ceremony was also live-streamed online for all staff members to join in.
Thanks to the thoughtfulness of our Administration Department, the large roasted pig was packed in boxes to be shared amongst everyone in the office to mark a wonderful start in the Year of the Ox!
While practicing the safety guidelines strictly to prevent the spread of COVID-19, Fairchild TV celebrated the most significant Chinese festival with our viewers in a different format this year! Along with Fairchild Radio, we presented Eve of CNY Canada West Special 2021, a fun-filled countdown program that bade farewell to the miserable Year of the Rat and ushered in an auspicious Year of the Ox with a series of wondrous new year performances! Audience across Canada also joined the event through free preview offered by major TV service providers at the comfort of their home with family!
Hosts of Snapshots Manica and Suiki partnered with DJs from AM1470 and FM961 Ahoi, BChiu, Chris, Ginny, Jance, Sam Sam and Reijin to first light up the show with a dance cover of “Dynamite”!
A spectacular lion dance was next! Accompanied with sounds of firecrackers, the traditional ritual chased away evil spirits and brought good luck to everyone!
Adding on to the festive spirits, Chinese metaphysics master, Anna Mak, revealed the zodiac fortunes of the Year of the Ox and tips on how to avoid bad luck.
The participants of Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant 2020 once again showed off enormous artistic talents. The eloquent Vicky Wu and Kitty Yao joined the MC lineup of the night.

With a huge variety of prizes, everyone looked forward enthusiastically to being the raffle draw winner and the most lucky ones took home amazing prizes with endless joy!
Families of seniors in care homes have been banned from visiting their loved ones during the pandemic. On the first day of Spring Festival, the kind-hearted Miss Chinese Vancouver Amy Tso, Julianne Nieh, and Vicky Wu delivered their handmade gifts, including nicely arranged plotted flowers, face mask lanyards, heartwarming notes, and boxes of disinfectants, to Austin Harris Residence.
The girls also greeted the elderly residents through a glass window as well as wished them a happy and healthy Chinese New Year.
Moreover, a special program hosted by William Ho was sent to different nursing homes as a New Year gift to all residents! The program features festival greetings from participants of Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant 2020, their music and dancing performances, and a simple aerobic exercise collaborated with the elderlies, sending cheers, happiness, and warmth during this unusual Chinese New Year.
Champion of Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant 2020 Amy Tso recently participated in LunarFest, bringing early Chinese New Year greetings on behalf of the Chinese community. Traditionally, Chinese families reunite in this most important festival of the year, however, as Amy worked and studied in the United State in the past 8 years, she hasn’t had the opportunity to celebrate Lunar New Year with her family for a long time until this year! She also expressed her excitement while delivering her New Year speech.
“Family is Everything” is the theme of this year’s LunarFest and the event features one of the most significant Chinese New Year rituals – family dinner.
