Kit Chan: A boy's object of fantasy
by Cheong Poh Kwan

Homegrown singer-actress Kit Chan is not married, and motherhood is still out of the question for her. But in her feature film acting debut in Lover's Discourse, she had both an unfaithful husband and an 18-year-old son, played by veteran entertainer Eric Tsang and Cantopop newbie Carlos Chan respectively.
 
And not only that, she was also the object of fantasy of her son's best friend, played by up-and-coming Hong Kong singer-actor William Chan, who is also widely known as Charlene Choi's new boyfriend following her high-profile divorce from singer-actor Ronald Cheng.
 
But William's love for Kit was unrequited in the film, and in reality Kit said she will also not accept an 18-year-old admirer, because it feels legally wrong to date anyone below 21. 
 
"But if I am 48, and he is 28, then it is a different ball game," said Kit, who added that it is not the age gap that matters most. What’s more important is that a couple is on the same page.
 
Kit is clearly on the same page with her boyfriend of 10 years, just that she is not prepared for marriage yet.
 
"My parents are not saying anything," so Kit is happy to busy herself with more work. She is slated to release her first studio album in six years next week, and will also perform two sold-out concerts with the Singapore Chinese Orchestra during the Huayi Festival.
 
While Kit is no greenhorn in the musical theatre scene, this is really the 38-year-old's first time tackling a major and complex role. Her only other big-screen appearance was in a 1999 local film Eating Air, where she had a cameo role.
 
Find out how she fared in the Hong Kong romance film, which also stars big names like Eason Chan, Karena Lam, Kay Tse and Eddie Png.
