Overview

Lydia Shum Din-ha or Lydia Tin Ha Sum (; 21 July 1945 – 19 February 2008) was a Hong Kong comedian, MC, actress and singer. Known for her portly figure, signature dark rimmed glasses and bouffant hairstyle, she was affectionately known to peers and fans as Fei-fei (, lit. "Fat Fat" or "Fatty") or Fei Jie ( lit. "Fat Sister"). Early life Shum was born on 21 July 1945 in Shanghai to Shum Yin Gee (; 1913–1978, with his ancestral home in Shanpei, Ningbo) and Shum Yao Tam Suh (; 1913–2008). Career Shum entered the Hong Kong entertainment industry at the age of 13 in 1958. She made her film debut in 1960, joining Shaw Brothers as an actress at the age of 15. Shum debuted in When the Peach Blossoms Bloom, a 1960 Mandarin comedy directed by Griffin Yueh Feng. She took some time to adjust to Hong Kong as she found the local Cantonese cuisine very different from that of her native Shanghai. TVB
