Half-Saudi-half-Chinese, Pamela Tang, got the nickname “Cherie Chung of the Middle East”. She was born in Hong Kong, moved to the United Kingdom when she was 6 years old, and returned at 26.
Having dark skin and mixed-raced looks and behaving like a westerner, she speaks fluent Cantonese, though she cannot read and write the language. She was not used to Hong Kong’s cramped environment and people talking about her in the beginning. But after living here for some time, she realised there was an upside to those things. For example, Hong Kong is small but convenient, whereas people's curiosity about her often turns into great opportunities for friendship.
When she was small, her parents played Cantonese TV dramas for her so she could learn Cantonese. She sings Chinese karaoke songs and dreams of becoming a master of ceremonies. She believes being on-stage not only let her shine, but also let her meet more people and promote inclusion in society. In this episode, Omme, the programme presenter, went shopping with Pamela and talked about their dreams and thoughts.
