Chinese singing star headlines charity concert:

Can't say I'm familiar with her, but she apparently shared the stage tonight with a young singer named Amanda Zhou (not sure if she's the actress) and "TV executive, producer-director, and movie director" Ricky Chan, which I assume might be this guy. His picture was on the poster around town. I should have scooped one and scanned it to the forums to see if anyone could place the face (or the red-rimmed glasses and big 'fro )


.

Ms Zhou’s grandmother was famous Chinese singer Zhou Xuan.

Wow!
An Amanda Zhou also appears in a Taiwan TV series called Queen's:

Synopsis
Tie Xiong (Tang Zhen Gang) is in love with a girl named Ke Er (Amanda Zhou), who is a cosplay fanatic. He learns handicraft, joins cosplay club, and cross-dresses,in order to get closer to her. He does not get the girl. What he gets for his beautiful face and feminine new hobbies is Ke Er as his new best friend and an unwanted rumour as a gay. What is most depressing is that he ends up helping her chase after school basketball player Yong Jun (Gong Ji An). It is only then that he realizes that his approach to chasing Ke Er's heart has been wrong. Ke Er wants a sweaty-smelling manly man and not a little sweet teddy bear...
