Autobiography Chapter 10: I Walk My Own Road
31 December 1995"The length of life is not important, the most important is when living you live vigorously" - Tse Ting Fung.
Always from the start to now, I never thought that I would enter the industry so early at 16 years of age. Because in my dream, I needed to wait until I finished school, before I officially joined the music business. Coping with my family splitting apart, it make my view of life change. I felt that I should be independent earlier, supporting myself. Since at that time I had an opportunity, I should seize it, because if I missed it once, in the future there might not be someone looking for me again - Tse Ting Fung.
A lot of people originally thought that I signed for Fitto completely because of money. But in fact it was not so. At that time, there were quite of a lot of other record companies offering better conditions than them. But the result was I still signed for Fitto. The reason apart from the company having sincerity, was that the boss Yeung Sau Shing (Albert Yeung) was also an important factor. Because he has helped my family before, that's why when talking about his attitude, I decided to sign for this company.
In the early days when I entered the industry, I felt a lot of pressure because everyone's expectation of me was very high. I accepted it braving all rebuff. I tried to do everything to the best of my ability. The result was that each performance, others only practised an hour, I practised for two hours. I hoped to do it better than others. But this is still just a small matter, the thing that made me most unpleased was, others will make up some extreme news reports because I am Tse Ting Fung. A lot of things that don't have anything to do with me, but the media will often put me into it, it made me feel very innocent. Even though it was like this, but from 12/27/96 when I entered the industry to 10-12 months, I've not regretted choosing this road. Even if this road has suffering and happiness, I am still very willingly to continue to walk it, because I discovered that I have found another future direction. Even though I do not know what the outcome will be, but since I have already found my target, I will absolutely not let go. And my target is to have Tse Ting Fung be unique. I hope I can be the same as Jackie Chan. Not only to have people in all Chinese places to know me, even everyone in the world will know my name is Tse Ting Fung. I have not set myself a time limit to achieve this target because I understand timeliness, topographical advantage, people and this principle made me know that if I had a chance I need to seize it and not let go easily.
