Hong Kong musician Miriam Yeung announced Monday that her upcoming concert series will proceed as scheduled, but a substantial portion of the revenue will be immediately diverted to aid victims and recovery efforts following the devastating fire that recently struck a residential building in Tai Po. The decision, made by Yeung and her production team, Positive Culture Entertainment, reflects a balance between honoring existing commitments to international fans and responding to the community’s tragedy.
The catastrophic residential fire in Tai Po’s Hong Fuk Court, which resulted in multiple casualties and injuries, has led to a period of citywide mourning, prompting the cancellation or postponement of various entertainment events. Yeung’s six-show engagement, titled “Miriam Yeung Live MY LIVE 2025 Concert,” is set to commence at the Hong Kong Coliseum—commonly known as the Red —on Saturday, March 29.
In a public statement released on social media, Positive Culture Entertainment explained that due to insurmountable scheduling conflicts, logistical constraints, and the fact that numerous international ticketholders had already finalized travel and accommodation arrangements, canceling the performances was deemed impractical. Instead, the team devised a three-pronged strategy focused on social responsibility and immediate charitable action.
Concrete Measures for Community Support
The first major action involves a direct financial contribution to relief efforts. The entire net proceeds from the first night of the concert series, in addition to all profits generated from merchandise sales across all six performances, will be donated to the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals (TWGHs). TWGHs is a local charitable organization heavily involved in disaster relief and post-disaster recovery operations in Hong Kong.
Furthermore, organizers are actively soliciting donations in lieu of customary gifts. They have formally requested that industry colleagues and fans forgo sending traditional floral baskets to the venue. Instead, the funds that would typically be spent on these items are urged to be redirected as donations toward local charitable platforms, such as TWGHs, specifically for fire relief.
Finally, the production team confirmed that the concert’s content has been sensitively adjusted to reflect the city’s somber mood. All pyrotechnic effects originally planned for the performance have been eliminated. The creative team stated that the revised show aims to provide warmth and strength through music, serving as a unifying and therapeutic experience during a time of collective grief.
“Music possesses the power to heal the spirit and gather strength,” the statement read, adding that the team hopes to offer tangible assistance and support to those impacted by the disaster through love and action.
This incident highlights a growing trend among public figures and major events in Hong Kong to swiftly pivot large-scale commercial activities toward community aid following significant civic emergencies. Details for making direct monetary donations to the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals have been provided by the production company, ensuring transparency and accessibility for those wishing to contribute. The entertainment industry’s coordinated response underscores its role not just as a source of performance, but as an active participant in social recovery.
