Subject: Deric Wan Respects Girlfriend As A Teacher

Deric Wan and Cindy Au act as husband and wife in "Grey Tracks". Yesterday, in response to reporters request, they posed in a dance position. Deric Wan expressed that in all of his acting career, he has only danced three times. It has been over ten years since the last time he danced. At the time, he remembers causing his dance instructor to vomit blood!

When mentioning his girlfriend, Sonija Kwok's excellent dancing skills, Deric Wan promptly responded "She has a talent for many things, for example, Chinese dance, jazz dance, etc. At first I thought that she started dancing in primary school, but that wasn't the case. She was very quiet when she was little." He revealed that he once thought of attending social dance lessons with his girlfriend. It would help in acting. Also driving car lessons and horseback riding. Because of Sonija Kwok's skilled horseback riding, he couldn't help but praise her "She is calm and clever. In all aspects, she is my teacher. She is not only my English teacher. Possibly because of her strict upbringing, she is more receptive to things compared with others. She can endure more than me. Her willpower is stronger than mine. (So what can you teach your girlfriend?) Basically there is nothing I can teach her."
