Opinion I like her because she was the champion. When the doctor told her she had cancer, she didn’t give up. In my opinion, she was very nice and kind, so I like her. I think Lydia Shum was a very courageous person so she is my role model. She was very scholarly and was a very good example to us. She was a professional actress so I admire her very much. When I knew she was dead, I felt very sad because she had given us lots of fun.
