Pal Sinn - No Limit in Performing Arts "Pal" (leopards) are quick, sharp and runs extremely fast. When not aware, it can chow its prey down in no time. Pal Sinn (Pal Gor) isn't as fast as a leopard, but you will never guess his next step because he can't even guess himself.
"A qualified artist shouldn't have a boundary, no bottom line and should not think of the future. Every opportunity is something to try and to see how far you can get." Just like a leopard, he can adapt to different environments.
When you first get to know Pal, you will probably think he has schizophrenia. Pal formed a band before high school graduation with Donald Ashley, Wong Leung Sing and So Tak Wah called CHYNA. He was the guitarist who played the low keys. When CHYNA disband, he formed another band called Blue Jeans, the song Ridiculous (豈有此理) might still sound familiar today. Then in a blink of an eye, Pal was seen on the big screen portraying lady-killer roles. Finally, he jumps into the television set and appears on TVB's current series Awfully Lawful. In the series, Pal plays an entertaining 'sing lam' (middle-aged man).
"People say you're cheap if you shoot Cat III movies, but the role does not represent the actual person. I don't mind at all. An artist's duty is to strive and make a breakthrough. Ultimately, I am not Pal Sinn. The fact is, nobody till this day has surpassed my 'Sai Moon Hing' (his role from Gentle Reflections and several other films)."
In the 90s, the HK film industry went through a crisis, it was then Kenny Bee introduced Pal to Mark Lui. "I signed with the record company, the initial plan was to put me in a duo, but that didn't happen. However, I met my wife (Paisley Wu), we were dating and working on music together." Big men over 50 and still smiles sweetly when talking about their wives, Pal is probably the only one.
Music Industry Died, Heart For Music Not Dying
After going in a circle, Pal ends up back in the music industry. Good friend Koma Wong said to him: "The music industry is dead." Pal agreed, but wasn't willing to leave the industry again, "The music industry is where I debuted after all. I told Koma, my heart for music won't die. After all the scolding, then go back and put effort into making music." Since the emerge of the Four Heavenly Kings, they have been idols since then. Also, business dominates the media, change is easier said than done. "There is still room. I don't believe there is a place that cannot have room for a some sincere music. In every generation, there must be a group of pioneers to breakthrough the old systems, otherwise there will never be improvements. Whether if its music or acting, I have already went beyond several boundaries; I am having less and less burdens."
