The launching of our stage show 《Dream of The Red Mansions》Starring Dr Jessie Chung has been very well received by our audience. In response to this, we have increased the number of shows up to 13 sessions, featuring our stage performance theme song with the title “Hearts Apart” EP as a form of fundraising campaign to help cancer patients.

Dr Jessie is becoming braver while she takes on the battle through the stage courageously and was shining so brightly that the light in her could be felt by every person on the audience floor. Since July 24th, Symphony Theatre Group has meticulously presented the drama "A Dream of Red Mansions" in consecutive 9 shows.
The performance was very exciting, and all the 9 shows were also fully booked. The responses received were extraordinary and impressive. As a result, the stage show sessions were increased up to 13 sessions in total! For the first time in Malaysia, the "A Dream of Red Mansions", depicted as one of China's four main classical novel masterpieces, was finally being performed through a stage drama and was indeed  a great “blown away”, creating a brilliant legend for Malaysia!
Many audiences got very emotional and overwhelmed even after the stage play had ended. They were crying during the feedback interview as they were completely moved to tears. They have given valuable praises and have expressed their deepest appreciation and admiration for Dr Jessie and her other fellow crew members for their effort and dedication in making this show so incredibly insightful and touching. 
Member of Parliament YB Theresa Kok, Political Secretary of the Minister of Transport Wee Ka Siong, famous Malaysian drama directors like Li Yihan and Yan Yongqi, famous Malaysian actor and model Lin Meifen, new online writer and film critic – Liang Wencong, AiFm director Huang Lingling, etc. were all present to support the show.
YB Theresa Kok expressed her most sincere and heartfelt views and said:: “A very loud yet warm round of applause should be presented to Dr Jessie and her fellow crew members. I hope Malaysia will have more artists who will be just as dedicated as them.” She also especially praised Dr Jessie for bringing up Lin Daiyu’s character and true emotions to life. Dr Jessie is a truly-born artist and a rare talent in Malaysia.  
Our minister of Transport, Wee Ka Siong mentioned that “Dr Jessie and her other fellow crew members certainly have spared a lot of thought and effort to courageously bring up the true essence of such romance storyline on stage. This drama has indeed caught all of us by surprise. This, I would consider, as one of the most successful stage plays in Malaysia..”
Dr. Zhang Jie, who is from Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, China, was also overwhelmed to tears as he gave his testimony during the feedback interview. He said: “I never thought that there would be such an awesome performance staged in Malaysia! It was totally unexpected!
Through Dr Jessie’s performance on stage, we as audiences could feel that the power love truly exists. She is definitely well suited to play the role of “Classic Beauty” as she could bring up emotions of the original character perfectly. Watching the Chinese version of The Dream of Red Mansions in 1987 did not make me cry, but the Dream of Red Mansions in Malaysia has made me cry.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that Symphony Theatre Group has also specially invited the American award-winning musician Mr. Lee to produce, and tailor-made the heart-warming theme song called "Hearts Apart" for the "Dream of Red Mansions" stage drama, as well as the episode of "A Dying Light in the Dark” and which was adapted for the well-known "Burial Flower Yin". It was sung by Jessie Chung, who played the main female character "Lin Daiyu".
One of the theme songs "Hearts Apart"  definitely matches well with the drama's main male character, Terry Lim,  for his deeply passionate duet. The production of the song, from its conception, to the creation of lyrics, composing, recording, mixing, and mastering, are all meticulously done through the collaboration of all workers from the Symphony Theatre group.
In this regard, Dr Jessie Chung has also expressed her deepest gratitude towards all members of Symphony Group for their dedication and hard work. This was something unanticipated, but she strongly felt their genuine intentions and said “Indeed, I must thank the Symphony Theatre group for their team cooperation, they really did a good job. In fact, during the recording process, the main male actor, Terry Lim, and myself, were both in tears”.
Dr. Jessie Chung has performed these three songs, conveying the temperaments of love through her voice. By displaying the depths of her true emotions, she hopes that these songs can heal the audience’s soul, and let the audience be transcended by love.
There are many audiences who were very moved by the songs. Aifm broadcastor Xiaowei gave her words of compliment and said, "The theme songs and episodes were very well presented, and they match the needs of the plot in a way that also touches the hearts of many.”
Through this drama stage performance, we could truly feel Dr Jessie’s genuine loving kindness and generosity. During these trial moments of the epidemic period, she still works out in spite of all difficulties and challenges she may have faced, with the hope that she could do her little part in contributing to help cancer patients who are utmost in need of our support.
