How it's used

Referring to celebrities by their full three-character names is standard practice in Hong Kong, especially for veteran actors from the golden era of local television. Using the full name avoids ambiguity and shows respect for their established career. It is common to drop the surname when talking about younger or more contemporary idols, but for someone like her, the full name is almost always used.
