The beauty is gone, but the memories are timeless.
The Mei Yanfang in my mind is first of all gentle.
She rarely appeared on talk shows, but that rare tenderness is still fresh in my mind.
At that time, the host asked her and Andy Lau a very interesting question.
If you want to rate each other, how many points will be given to each other.
Andy Lau and Mei Yanfang were in the same frame in their early years
Mei Yanfang blurted out: I have said before that Hua Tsai is 100 points in my heart, and now it has not changed! As soon as the conversation turned, she added with a little grievance: "However, he only gave me 59 points."
Hua Tsai next to me hurriedly defended: I only gave myself 60 points, why give Amei 59 points, because I don't like people to go to disco, she is old, so I deducted a point.
"You don't know that I said this for you at that time, and I have never been to disco since."
"Then you're 60 points like me, we're a natural couple, haha."
The dialogue between old friends is somewhat cute, and at that time, Mei Yanfang was gentle and a little woman, which impressed me.
Mei Yanfang, who has a powerful aura
Most of the time, we see her, obviously very different!
Looking at her resume, no one can ignore her strength!
At the age of 4 and a half on stage, his father died early, trying to support a family.
The 22-year-old Red Pavilion opened fifteen consecutive performances, breaking the record for the first solo performance of a Hong Kong singer!
The record "Bad Girl", which was released at the same time, sold 400,000 copies (8 platinums) in the first week, accumulating 720,000 copies, setting a new record for individual records in Hong Kong!
At the age of 25, she won the "Four Film Queens" including the Hong Kong Film Awards with "Rouge Buckle"!
Less than 26 years old, she has won the "Most Popular Female Singer" award in Hong Kong's top ten songs for five consecutive years!
At the age of 35, he won the Golden Needle Award, the highest honor in the Hong Kong music scene, becoming the youngest winner of the award ever!
At the age of 40, suffering from cervical cancer, he resolutely stepped onto the stage of the Red Pavilion and gave the final performance to the fans!
……
This is a true flamboyant, born superstar!
Whenever I look through her resume, I am always a little ashamed, maybe everyone's qualifications and opportunities are very different, but life is short, try to burn their own energy, desperately catch up with the ideal self, this should be what I can do.
It is the gap in belief that keeps us out of reach.

It is reasonable to say that such a strong and powerful woman, her popularity will not be much better.
But in fact, the best popularity in the history of Hong Kong's showbiz is Mui Yanfang!
She is the only female president of the Hong Kong Performing Artists Association, with a wide range of contacts, righteousness first, and large-scale events that often do a hundred responses.
Although she is often frustrated by her "true temperament", Mei Yanfang has never said half a word of regret.
At that time, because of her resignation from "Ruan Lingyu", some people thought that she and Maggie Cheung had a gap, but they did not know that the friendship between the two was still the same. Many years after Mui Yanfang's death, Maggie Cheung remembered her former friend in an interview, and frankly said that Mui Yanfang was her favorite actress to work with and the most unethriful woman in the circle. Good sister Yang Ziqiong also said in "Lu Yu has a date" that Mei Yanfang has always lived in her heart, and the beautiful bits and pieces of the past have always been remembered.
Zeng Zhiwei once recalled the scene before Mei Yanfang's death: "All the friends notified one by one, and all came to see her. The entire floor of the hospital was sealed to visitors, and those who arrived later stood outside the stairs. This is the most unforgettable scene of my life, because of her good popularity and morality, which makes me very moved!
To this day, when the movie "Mei Yanfang" is about to be released, Liang Jiahui, who was interviewed by the media, mentioned this former good sister, and he could not help but cry.
What a gentle, powerful and beautiful person her friends should have in their hearts.
The sudden departure at the age of forty made her life more legendary, but in the hearts of countless friends and fans, this may be a pain that will never be able to be healed.

I can't wait to go to the cinema to watch this movie, and her re-appearance may make me cry, but when I think that more new friends will like her through this movie, my heart is proud and happy.
Anita, we'll see each other later, and we'll see each other later.
