She has also performed alongside Jacky Cheung in the musical Snow.Wolf.Lake , the Mandarin and Cantonese version.

In 1995, Chan changed her name from ??? to ???. The pronunciation was still the same - Ling - but a different character was used. The 'Ling' in her original name means "age" and the 'Ling' in her new name is part of a phrase that means "intelligent and witty".

As her short hair grew longer, Chan went through yet another metamorphosis in 1999. She officially changed her English name from Nadia to Nnadia . The added "n" was a self reminder to "never give up." It also symbolized "new".
