This is the theme song of the mini movie, The Travel of Memory <爱家日•时间门>. The success of “Runnin’ Out of Time” further proves Gallen’s ability to touch the audience with his acting and voice.
Tugging at Heartstrings
Long before Gallen was known for his acting, he was first and foremost a singer. He first gained success not through his roles in television series but as the voice behind ATV’s theme songs in the 1980s. He also earned back-to-back Double Platinum Record Awards for the theme songs of Old Time Buddy <难兄难弟> and Secret of the Heart <天地豪情>, dramas which he also starred in.
With more than 20 years of acting experience and singing accolades, the music video for “Runnin’ Out of Time” proved to be an easy feat for Gallen. The music video successfully tugs at the audience’s heartstrings, in which Gallen portrays the crest-fallen protagonist and his woeful voice gave depth to the regret felt by the character.
The Travel of Memory
Mini-movie, The Travel of Memory, touches on the subject of family love. It describes how a successful businessman, who on the verge of losing his memory, recalled his life and realized too late that “One’s true happiness stems from spending time with the family. A family’s happiness is dependable on the time spent together”.
The Travel of Memory is directed by cutting-edge Taiwanese director, Jem Chen (陈奕先), and produced by renowned French photographer Dylan Doyle. Top composer Jia Yinan (贾轶南) created the music score.
Through the mini-movie, Gallen hopes that viewers are able to cherish their family members, which also resonates with Gallen’s family values. Married happily to Sophie Su (苏岩), Gallen he has taken time off work to spend more time with his pregnant wife.

The lyrics of Gallen’s new song are quite meaningful and applies to many working parents who may work such extensive hours to provide for their loved ones, but ultimately forget to cherish the ones they love the most.
50mil hits on which social media site?
Dare I hazard a guess the author is thinking about youku, where the view count is done in 10000s? The count at the moment is 1.43 million, which is 143 x (10000). Maybe the count was 50 x(10000)at the time the article was written.
BTW, nice song, sweet video, but the mandarin is….obviously by someone who speaks canto =D
everytime we see him, he seems uglier n uglier hahhaa..but is that the wife? looks pretty.
she is the actress not his wife i think.
LOVE GALLEN!!!! my all time favorite actor!!
His acting is PERFECT!
but gotta admit he did not aged well….he used to be very attractive and charming! I mean he still is, but he looks worn out and old.
He is my all time favorite actor too.
I hope that he can come back to TVB again. Misses his acting!
yah something with his eyes 🙁
Agree. He’s an absolutely star! But I doubt he’ll come back to tvb. He doesn’t need them 🙁
you would look old and ugly fast if you were a chain smoker like gallen. surprise he didn’t die from lung cancer yet.
how harsh. sounds like you want him to die which is not acceptable in any way.
he’s taking care of his daugther’s needs more than his current wife?
Gallen Lo has been in the entertainment industry like forever. I still remember him when he was younger in an old classic tvb series called four seasons (mid 80’s) and another classic ‘the final verdict’ (1988) wow that’s so long ago now….
No… It’s in Mandarin! D= I can barely understand Cantonese songs! =(
cute little girl.
I still like Gallen, even if his real life is not so pretty.
