The Dongbao Restaurant in Java Road Municipal Building, North Point last opened on Friday night (2nd), and the atmosphere at the scene became more and more heated night by night. Many regular customers came to bid farewell to Dongbao and manager Ruby.
The audience was full, and there were no empty seats. Among the guests, including the famous director Chen Dong, he was a regular customer of Dongbao, and he had already become attached to Ruby. When the filming of "Last Year's Fireworks Extraordinary", he filmed in Dongbao, and Ruby also had a share. In the performance, "Xi Luxiang", which Ruby participated in and was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the 19th Hong Kong Film Awards, is also a work by Chen Guo.
Regarding Dongbao's termination of the lease contract by the FEHD, Chen Guo sighed and said bluntly, "It's a pity that it has to end like this after working for 20 years!" He pointed out that Dongbao's food is of good quality and he loves its southern Suckling pig hands, and sometimes also hold a movie feast in Dongbao.
Chen Guo described Dongbao as "the most expensive civilian restaurant in Hong Kong." He believed that after graduation, it would be possible to make a comeback. "If you don't have one, you can start a new one. It's like we're filming a movie, and I'm making a second set."

On the last night of the Dongbao Restaurant, the atmosphere became hotter and hotter. At about 11:00 pm, "The Light of Friendship" and "Love Me Don't Go" were played on the speakers, and Ruby stood on the chair and sang with the crowd.
Chen Guo, who was sitting far away, did not sing with the crowd, and then visited the Dongbao staff with the team.
In an interview, he said that he had been visiting Dongbao for many years, and he felt reluctant to part with it. He also sighed that it was a pity, "The streets outside are so quiet that there is no sound when you enter, and it is a pity when you enter." He felt pity for the result of Dongbao: " It's a pity that after 20 years of work, it ends up like this!"

Ruby starred in Chen Guo's "Xi Luxiang" and was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards
Talking about unforgettable memories, he said that he hired Ruby and others to take the job and filmed a movie in Dongbao, which had just installed an air conditioner, but after that, Dongbao became more and more busy, and it was difficult to film scenes.
Released in 1998, "There were a lot of fireworks last year" was being filmed in Dongbao, and Ruby, whose real name was Zhang Xingchao, also appeared.
Ruby, who is famous for opening beer caps with chopsticks and performing a one-word horse, has also collaborated with Chen Guo again. In 1999, in "Xi Luxiang" directed by Chen Guo, Ruby played the role of "David", and then she appeared in the 19th episode. He was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards, but unfortunately lost to Dillon.
Chen Guo said that today it feels like visiting an old friend, but even if it is a pity, there is no way to do it, "What about the government's decision to trouble them?" Take the second set."
