Women not pained - Ming Pao Weekly (Issue 1968) Interview
While Louisa and Damian filmed Men in Pain, Louisa was able to feel men's happiness and pain. We chat and I ask what womens' pains are? Louisa won't complain about womens' pains like a typical woman, and in fact says she is a lucky woman. She says "Maybe women are made to go through many hardships, like physiologically, but I am tough, so I won't nag. Now, if I was to choose again, I want to continue to be a woman in my next life because no matter how tough it is for a woman, there will be somewhere who loves them. I think I am currently very lucky."
Louisa admits outright that being a man is tougher than a woman, most of the men in pain are like Damian's character, while the other type are those pained by their career not up there with women. Louisa speaks from a men's point of view and says "Actually the career of a male and female are equal, men do not need to make a comparison, and shouldn't feel pressured because of these matters."
Louisa has dated Hong Kong Repertory Theatre actor Poon Chan Leung for 10 years, and both are compatible in their public and private lives. The current phase of their relationship is steady, but she is not rushed into marriage. She says "Being a modern woman, marriage is already not a problem, but the most important is whether we can come together, and marriage is really just a marriage certificate." It looks like Louisa is still enjoying these dating days!
Temporarily stop performing Love in a Fallen City
In this current stage, Louisa is a television Fa Dan, as well as a lead actress in a musical. Having been in the entertainment industry for more than 10 years, she still has high expectations towards her work. She will be fully absorbed into each project she is involved in. For a series she would not see her family for 3 months. But Louisa does not feel the pressure, and says "I think that an actor should perform each series well, so over these years I have not felt the pressure. I also won't force myself to accept projects I don't like, and won't allow myself to suffer. If I accept a project, I would predict the environment and problems that I may face."
Love in a Fallen City, in which Louisa worked with Tony Leung, ended on a high note. It had a 14 day touring performance in Toronto and New York. However, Louisa thinks that they should temporarily stop for a while, and says "Actually, there are a lot of other places that asked us to perform, but Tony and I think we should stop for a while. Maybe we can find some even better subject matters."
