Sammi Cheng is now 37 years old (as in 2009). She is a popular female singer and was given the title cantopop queen in Hong Kong. She started singing at the age of 18 and did many commercial advertisements in Hong Kong, earning her a fortune. Success comes at a high price for Sammi that she neglected anything else, even her basic needs and health. Once to lose weight, she ate only two apples over a period of seven days (Readers Digest, Oct 2009, p.49).After ten years of building her career, she felt there's a spiritual black hole inside her. She quit singing and for three years, she spends her time travelling, reading and painting. She also quit smoking and stop spending money on expensive items.
On December 9, 2007, Sammi was baptised as a Christian and started finding joy in giving back to the society. She has visited the less fortunate in Africa, Laos, Mongolia and Sichuan and sponsored more than ten poor children (readers Digest, Oct 09, p.51).
Sammi devoted her time into praying for others. She said that it was an act of love. In her interview with the Readers Digest, she said...
"I've learned to accept what life holds for me with composure. People ask me about marriage. I would say: it could be today, or when I am 40, whenever, as God would have it. I have no worries as I entrust myself into His care"
Sammi Cheng had decided to give her life for Christ and entrusted her life to God. I believe we all can do the same too.
