"Life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, and death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves." This is a poem by the great writer Rabindranath Tagore . Farewell to this world seems to be quiet, , but some people want to make this farewell grand, such as Anita Mui.
Today, the movie "Anita Mui" was released. The most impactful scene is probably the scene where she wore a white floor-length wedding dress at her farewell concert 45 days before her death. On the red carpet, she resisted the pain caused by the disease, sang "Sunset Song", dressed up, and said goodbye to herself.
Anita Mui's life was not long, she was only forty years old, but she left too many works, which may be related to her early debut. Anita Mui was born in Hong Kong, China in 1963. Her father died young when she was young. She has two brothers and one sister. Her mother worked hard to make a living by running the "Jinxia" song and dance troupe. It is said that when Anita Mui was four or five years old, she and her sister Mei Aifang performed on stage to supplement the family income.
Later, Anita Mui sang a song about herself called "Song Girl", which contained the following lines: "I remember a little story that day. The singer, her voice is not very delicate. She sings about the vicissitudes of life, but her eyes are always shining. Maybe one day she will be a star, and maybe one day she will no longer be hungry..." these lines express her. The original intention of singing also reflects the characteristics of her voice: deep tone and vicissitudes of life.
In 1982, she sang Xu Xiaofeng's "The Season of the Wind" with a deep voice, and won the championship of the first Hong Kong Rookie Singing Contest (now known as the Global Chinese Rookie Singing Contest), and she officially made her debut.
In the beginning, the young Anita Mui still faced the public with the image of the girl next door. However, the song "Heart Debt", the theme song of the TVB TV series "The Prodigal Son ", made everyone realize that Anita Mui is so suitable for singing resentful and deep songs. As a result, the second album "Red Anita Mui" began to take a mature route, and Anita Mui became an instant hit.
Talking about Anita Mui, we have to mention one person, a person who has been throughout her stardom, that is the fashion designer Liu Peiji. Anita Mui's final wedding dress was also designed by him. He helped Anita Mui design many images: heroic, mature, rebellious, coquettish, sexy... Nowadays, audiences can often hear some singers saying that they have "various looks", and artists will also flaunt their various looks. There are so many sets of costumes in concerts that everyone is tired of hearing about them and getting used to seeing them, so they don’t take them seriously. In fact, in a certain sense, it was Anita Mui and her concerts that started such a changeable aesthetic.
In Anita Mui’s life, there is another person who must be mentioned, that is Leslie Cheung . The two are friends and confidants, and they also have some vague feelings between them. It is said that Anita Mui helped Leslie Cheung win the opportunity to play the role of "Twelve Young Masters" in "rougebutton".
This movie won numerous awards at the Academy Awards, , and the Golden Horse Awards. But looking back now, it seems to be a prophecy. Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung, who had planned to die together in the movie, both died in 2003. In April 2003, Leslie Cheung chose to leave this world. Anita Mui attended Leslie Cheung's funeral despite being ill and fainted several times during the process. In December of the same year, Anita Mui passed away.
Anita Mui’s relationship path is also a topic that everyone feels deeply sad about. From the boyfriend she met in Japan when she was young, to the Zhao Wenzhuo who later attracted the attention of the city due to her love affair, to the ambiguous friends who appeared in the scandal later, Anita Mui has had I have experienced many relationships, but in the end they all came to nothing. The song "Female Flower" seems to be a true portrayal of her bumpy emotional experiences in life.
Among them, Zhao Wenzhuo's paragraph seems to be the most regrettable. Anita Mui once said: "If it weren't for that misunderstanding, I might be Mrs. Zhao." After Anita Mui passed away, Zhao Wenzhuo wrote affectionately: "The love of my life, may you have a good journey."
Time is too embarrassing to Mei Yanfang. In September 2003, she publicly acknowledged that she had cancer and said strongly to fight the illness. How big the courage does this need to have?
A few months later, Mei Yanfang took his illness on the Red Pavilion stage to host the "Mei Yanfang Classic Golden Melody Concert". Audience: " I look good or not? "She said, she would marry this stage.
