The 73-year-old actress appeared on RTHK's radio program "Footprints of the Past" on 14/9. Dressed simply, she posed for photos with the host. Miao's current appearance captured the audience's attention, as she has lived in Canada for the past 30 years and rarely makes public appearances. The actress is private about her personal life and has declined several producers' invitations to return to acting.

On "Footprints of the Past", Miao Kersiu discussed her time acting alongside Bruce Lee. She vividly recalled Lee's advice to "live with conviction and a clear purpose", words that deeply influenced her.

Although 52 years have passed since Bruce Lee's death, his name remains frequently mentioned. Many people around Miao Kersiu still remember Lee and ask her about him. "Therefore, I can't escape his shadow," she said.

Born Chan Wing-ngan, the actress was given the stage name Miao Kersiu by novelist Jin Yong. She rose to fame in the 1970s and 1980s in martial arts films, earning the title "Princess of Golden Harvest".

She co-starred with Bruce Lee in popular films like "The Big Boss", "Fist of Fury", and "Way of the Dragon". In addition to working with Lee, she also appeared in several Jackie Chan films, including "Snake & Crane Arts of Shaolin" and "Dragon Fist".

According to Chinapress, Miao Kersiu is single. She once had a year-long relationship with Taiwanese actor Ko Chun-hsiung, which was kept secret due to his marital status.

In 1987, Miao developed feelings for Poon Chi-man, who was also married with children. The actress stated she didn't intentionally pursue married men but admitted to being impulsive and lacking the sense to resist temptation in her youth. At the time, she believed that mutual happiness was sufficient and never asked her partners to divorce.

Both of the actress's parents are deceased. Before her mother's passing, she expressed concern over Miao's single status, leaving the actress feeling unfulfilled in her filial duty. Miao reflected, "I was an only child, pampered and spoiled. I never learned to plan my life seriously. Acting, relationships, travel... everything was unplanned. So, I let things happen naturally."
