Hong Kong Mrs. Lam Nhac Di, wife of writer Kim Dung, appeared for the first time at an event to commemorate her husband, after his death in 2018.
According to St Headline , on March 15, she and many artists visited the Hong Kong Cultural Museum - where the opening ceremony of the exhibition of 40 statues of characters in the world of martial arts by Kim Dung was held. The activity was to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the novelist's birth (March 10, 1924).

Phuong Vien Minh, the person in charge of organizing the exhibition, said that when working with Kim Dung's family on copyright issues, Ms. Lam Nhac Di set two conditions: first, the exhibition would start on February 6th of the lunar calendar - Kim Dung's birthday according to the lunar calendar. Because in the past, he only celebrated his birthday on this occasion, not March 10th of the solar calendar. The second requirement was that the exhibition would be held first in Hong Kong - the place most closely associated with his career. After that, the organizers would bring the exhibition to other places.
Many viewers commented that at the age of 71, Lam Nhac Di exudes elegance through her gestures and the way she dresses. Lam Nhac Di is Kim Dung's third wife, and is a fan of the writer. After getting married, Kim Dung sent Lam Nhac Di to study in Australia. Upon returning, she became her husband's right-hand assistant, always accompanying him on business trips. Lam Nhac Di and Kim Dung do not have children together, the writer has four children with his second wife - Chu Mai.

Mr. Duong Vinh Van, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Singapore, called Kim Dung a "great novelist" in Chinese history. According to him, during the Ming Dynasty, there were names such as La Quan Trung (author of Romance of the Three Kingdoms ), Thi Nai Am (author of Water Margin ), Ngo Thua An (author of Journey to the West ), Kim Dung also had great stature. Mr. Duong Vinh Van believes that the author's novels are useful not only for young people but also for thinkers and philosophers.
