Zi Bian (自便, Help Yourself) is a 1997 EP recorded by Cantopop singer Faye Wong around the end of her years based in Hong Kong.
In 1996-97, the last year of her recording contract with Cinepoly Records, Wong recorded ten original songs in Cantonese, all with lyrics by Lin Xi (林夕) but composed by others such as Wong Ka Keung, Adrian Chan, and Chan Xiao Xia. Cinepoly later released eight of these songs in the two EPs entitled Toy (玩具) and Help Yourself. The other two songs were included in later compilations.
Although this EP (like Toy) contained new songs, including the hit ballad "On Time" (守時), and was welcomed by fans, it received lukewarm critical responses, particularly for the three remixes of songs from earlier albums.
