ANITA MUI

We will miss you, Anita Mui.


1963-2003


On December 30th, 2003 at 2am (HK Time) the world lost a great multi-talented performer and film actress. Hong Kong Pop Singer and stage talent Anita Mui Yim Fong passed away a victim to cervical cancer. Her movies were and always will be classics, putting to film creative and magical talent . Her movies; as Tung; one third of the Heroic Trio in 1992 to July Rhapsody and Dance of a Dream in 2002 are all to be cherished. Her charity work for Hong Kong, film and music are all works of art.

Anita recorded 39 albums in Mandarian, Japanese, and Cantonese, ranging from Chinese Opera to CantoPop. The world today is a richer and more beautiful place because of her gifts to us of stage, film and song.

Forever 40, we will miss you Anita Mui

The Years Flow by Like Water

Looking at the sea with weariness
I don’t cry, I don’t complain
I look at the sky, I only feel conflicted
My heart, like a small wooden boat, cannot see far
Still it moves forward
Who punishes me in this life?
I struggle everyday in the sea of people
I feel regret in my heart
The years flow like water, I can’t keep yesterday
I can only keep the memories
One by one, in my mind forever
In this world, I miss and miss the olden years
My appearance has already changed
My circumstance too, but my feelings remain.

Nihon no Kurisumasu

December

Tokyo,Japan


Nihon no Kurisumasu

The two major religions in Japan are Shinto and Buddhism, so Christmas is viewed as more of a commercial event.

It is often said that Japanese are born Shinto and die Buddhist. The main celebration is Christmas eve and not Christmas day.

In Japan it is common to give Christmas presents have Christmas decorations and give small Christmas Cakes.

For single women it is crucial to have someone to spend Christmas eve with. It is also very important what present they receive and where they spend Christmas eve. Young Japanese women who have a boy friend tend to show him off.

There is also sarcasm that Christmas is compared with a woman's age. Cake shops throughout Japan try to sell all the Christmas cakes before Christmas eve.

Any cakes left after Christmas eve are viewed to be out of date and too old to sell. Japanese women over 25 years old are said to be 'unsold Xmas cake.'

This is a bad tradition that is currently in change due to young Japanese women now choose to marry at older ages.
