Myolie Wu & Kevin Cheng's Gains from Charity Tour Kevin Cheng and Myolie Wu joined the 'Lifeline Express' hospital train on a visit to Huaihua City in China's Hunan Province to see their progress on offering cataracts surgery to those in need. At a press conference yesterday, they were nominated as "Lifeline Express Stars of Light" and talked about their experiences from their earlier trip. Myolie praised Kevin for being very gracious, often getting food for the ladies around him. Myolie has been a part of the Lifeline Express support since she entered Miss Hong Kong in 2000 and during this trip, she understood the importance of your eyesight and also realised how simple the procedure is to reverse the eye condition. She says that when she visited some families, she wanted to cry, but she did not want to dampen the atmosphere, so she had to hold back her tears. The reason for this was because it was not just the parents who were suffering from cataracts, but it had been passed onto the children too and it was a great blow to the family. This is the first time that Myolie has worked with Kevin and she found after the trip that he is not as cool or quiet as he seems. In fact he is very assertive and is very gallant, looking after the ladies around him. She laughs that Kevin even held some of the children there and he really is amazing! Myolie says that she has been taking part in a lot of charity events lately and asked if she would like to be nominated for an 'Outstanding Youth' award, she says: "I have not done enough, I have to do a lot more. Also you cannot use this as a reason to do charity work. To have the chance to go somewhere far away from the hustle and bustle, it was actually very relaxing." Kevin also feels he has gained a lot from this trip: "This year we went to a more rural place and I really saw what is literally a home with four walls and not much else. In one family, before they had the operation, they could only 'listen' to books, but now they can actually read for themselves. I feel that I am very fortunate and have learned to be thankful and be happy for what I have. This has been a very valuable experience."
