Following 2018's "Another Era', Tavia Yeung has returned to her mother company to film "Darkside of the Moon" after six years. Since choosing to leave the company in 2016 and due to starting her own family, it has indeed been rare for Hong Kong viewers to be able to see her performances again. Starting from graduating from the training class in 1999, Tavia stayed in TVB for 17 years before leaving. During this period, she went from starting at the bottom to becoming the only TV queen chosen by the people.
In 2012, Tavia won 'Best Actress' at "TV Awards Presentation 2012" for her role as 'Hong Chi Kwan' in "Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles". Asking her if this was the most important turning point in her performing arts career, she shook her head and denied: "You think that it was the turning point because I won many awards, but I think that I want to have roles to challenge even more. On the contrary, during the period of 'Beyond the Realm of Conscience', it allowed me to be able to make a transformation because not making a transformation was out of the queston. I cannot be an ignorant girl, a young girl, or a good person all my life. During that time, it was a bigger turning point. There were many things that opened [my] mind because of 'Beyond'...did not have to worry too much. Although I am not an idol, I also had a burden, which was being afraid that [if I] am being a bad person, [I] would get egged".
As for another turning point, Tavia expressed that leaving TVB was also one of them. "I thought that it was time to step out because, if you stay at TVB for too long, you would be like a frog at the bottom of a well...unable to see the outside world. Only having a fixed occupation, and having to do set things every day, but cannot seem to find any breakthroughs. The opportunity came at a time when I felt that I could try jumping to another level of life. Could plan my marriage, could see how to start a family, and also wanted to try [my] hand at this performing arts industry and see what could happen". Tavia said that the company is like a protective shell, but she wanted freedom more and wanted to try out which level she could get to.
As for whether she had been frozen by TVB, she confidently expressed, "Never. To be honest, I have never been frozen. If I were frozen, shouldn't be this tired...ha ha. Really, the contract just ended. After it ended, could think about other things, plan my life, take a break, and spend time with my family".
After leaving the company, Tavia quickly started a family with Him Law. The two also met while filming "The Hippocratic Crush" in TVB. She expressed that the two's love has never been grand and spectacular. Met the right person at the right time. Later, also had two children appear one after another. Even her husband also says that a trickle flowing for a long time will suffice. "Actually, there is nothing particularly grand and spectacular between me and him, but that's it, and it's even less now. He often says that nothing has to be done...a trickle flowing for a long time. I say that I am almost 'turning off your tap'. When nothing is done, the column of water will get thinner and thinner, and you are just letting it flow".
Of course, Tavia is not really dissatisfied; she just hopes that this long-lasting relationship can be more nutritious. She said, "A trickle flowing for a long time, but don't be so boring. You also need to add a little colour to it, right? Bland and tasteless is not good either. Ha ha".
