Report in Lianhe Zaobao Chen Hanwei has women's luck. In the item "The Greatest Body Concert", he's the only male artiste who performed together with 7 female artistes including ....in a Japanese-style "Stomp" dance. As the only "grass" among the 7 flowers, Hanwei laughed & said," It's alright. I'm not difficult to get along with. We're full of jokes & laughter. But I should be considered the oldest, the rest are like little sisters: they're full of vitality & have good stamina & memory. I felt tired after dancing for a while." There was once Hanwei felt so tired that he just stood still & refused to move. Chen Hanwei praised the 7 female artistes for dancing beautifully like professionals though they've not learnt dancing before. As for his own performance, he said, " I've not learnt dancing, my body movement isn't so graceful. Luckily my sense of rhythm is not bad as I've learnt piano." The tap dance's specialty is the sound made by the shoes. The soles of the performers' shoes are fixed with iron plates. During rehearsal Hanwei's feet were stepped on by Lynn Poh's "iron shoes". At that time my "iron shoes" were not ready yet. I was wearing cloth shoes. I was stepped on by her "iron shoes" twice. We couldn't control our laughter. In the end all of us laughed non-stop and couldn't continue with our rehearsal." From then onwards, whenever Hanwei noticed Lynn was out of rhythm, he would get away from her a little to save himself. "Renci Charity Show" is the first cooperative effort of the two TV stations after merger to raise funds for charity. Hanwei said,"The feeling is very good. The first time we cooperate is to perform for charity, very heart-warming. There's a spirit of mutual support. Everyone seems to be more united than before."

This show was broadcast on 9 Jan 05 on Channel U.
Hanwei led the female artistes, Felicia , Joey , Priscelia , Jaime , Lynn , Eelyn and Ezann & over 100 primary school students in the grand opening of the show.
His hair was super-short and he was so "hunkish" and athletic, in funny contrast with the sissy, Fafa in Lucky Charm currently appearing on TV screen.

It was really a great feat, considering that more than hundred people have to dance together to produce sounds in unison
