Hong Kong comedian Shen Dianxia died 14 years ago and is still remembered by many people. Google even paid tribute to her with Google doodle on her 77th birthday this year.
Google Graffiti is a special temporary change to the logo on google pages that honor festivals, events, achievements, and famous historical figures in specific countries.
Shen Dianxia's graffiti appeared on July 21 and contains many of the iconic roles she played.

In a short article, Google described Shen Dianxia as a "fruit of happiness" that brings laughter and positive energy through her show.
Shen Dianxia began working as a child star at the age of 12 and became famous in the 1970s when she hosted the popular variety show "Tonight's Pleasure".
In 1973, she consolidated her position in the hearts of everyone and starred in the highest-grossing film in Hong Kong that year, "Seventy-Two Households".
Singaporeans probably remember Shen best as the star of the Mediacorp sitcom Living with Lydia, which aired from 2001 to 2005.

From 1985 to 1988, Lydia married Hong Kong singer and actress Adam Cheng. The couple's daughter, Hong Kong singer Joyce Cheng, is 35 years old.
In the early 1920s, Shen Dianxia's health deteriorated.
In 2002, she was hospitalized for surgery and had to remove 36 gallstones from her body.
Four years later, in 2006, she was diagnosed with a liver tumor and cancer around the gallbladder.
Over the next two years, Shen received chemotherapy and several rounds of kidney dialysis while battling cancer. After spending nearly two months in intensive care, she eventually passed away in February 2008.

According to reports, Shen Dianxia once revealed that thanks to the curry fish head, she realized that her health was not good.
One day, Lydia went to dinner at the home of Hong Kong actress Debo Lee. Nicholas Tse's mother pulled a pot of curry fish heads.
However, after the meal, Shen Dianxia began to feel very uncomfortable. When she got home later that night, she began to vomit uncontrollably.
Shen Dianxia then decided to seek medical attention, and after a thorough examination, it was found that she had a tumor in her liver.
It was later revealed how remorseful she felt for the turn of events. "If I had known, I wouldn't have made [curry fish heads] for her," Deborah reportedly said.
