‘Daughter of Hong Kong’: the life and times of Cantopop icon Anita Mui 

I'm so glad I had the privilege to have worked with her at the SARS 1:99 Concert. She was such a nice person and an inspiration! I was so sad when she passed and helped by working at her funeral handing information updates to all the reporters. My one last job to say goodbye to her. 😥

Mui belongs to another time. Like the city she grew up in, she no longer exists. The memory is kept alive in the hearts of those who knew her, and Hong Kong, in better times.

She embodied the spirit of Hong Kong. H.K. rised from a humble beginnings and achieved economic prosperity and became the “pearl of the East”. Anita liked H.K. had never lost the hard working ethics, generosity and empathy towards others. She is the daughter of Hong Kong. We will always be grateful to her contributions to H.K. 😢

Anita and Leslie were on a whole other level when it came to cantopop… I think 四大天王 were the only ones that could come close to it!

She is well loved because she valued people. Be it fans,family or friends. Basically the kind of people you want to have around to cover your back in life when you needed them to. Such people are too few and hard to come by in life no matter what era we are in.

She is a Pop of Queen of Asia, when she got cancer still singing on stage for the fans,she is a powerful women in the world,my forever idol 💜🥰

Oh I loved her in Ghana. Back then as a teen we didn't know cantopop all we knew abt Chinese people was tbe martial arts movies, we sadly stereotyped all Chinese people as one. Her movies with Jackie Chan were sooo popular in Ghana. When internet was common I googled and was so sad she had passed. May she rest well. 🇬🇭

Anita Mui is always a super star, a legend like nobody can replace her charm ever ever ever in Hong Kong !!! When I was in Hong Kong, I did meet her once to get her autography & shake her hand..

I’m sad and proud of her at the same time. She’s the best of the best pop diva!🙏🏻

She is an absolute legend and icon, can't believe next Saturday (30th) will mark 20 years since she left us. My favourite song of hers will always be 夕陽之歌 💯

She was such a strong & legendary women. A national treasure

She's an amazing legend

I lived in Hong Kong during the 80's and I remember my dad telling me when he came home one day that he had run into Anita Mui on the street. When he got excited, she very nicely and sweetly told him shush so as not to attract attention. I was not a fan of Canto-pop so had no idea who she was. Also, Leslie Cheung jogged passed me and my friend on a hill one sunny day. Once again I had no idea who he was but my friend did and so did a bunch of excited girls behind us, lol. This is my first time hearing about his suicide, may they both rest in peace.

The title, "Daughter of Hong Kong" suit her. She is as great as, as beautiful as, as attractive as Hong Kong. The forever shinning pearl.

Her story will always be remembered.

Miss her much .. miss Leslie too ..

The Madonna of Hong Kong ❤

I am surprise. I saw her memorial place in Hong Kong Up The mountain (Giant Buddha) when I was in Hong Kong. The lot she bought was VIP, entire space also whole family lots. She is an iconic queen female artist on her era 80's. Her songs were timeless. Her voice is special. And she is also a great actress. Her movies are awesome. Maybe this memorial outside space is for public paying tributes, not the one memorial space on the HK mountain of the Giant Buddha was her private memorial space.

miss these legends of Hong kong singer

Thanks Anita for giving us the best you had … thank you

She is so talented and very kind 👍🏻💖 Miss her so much 💕

danny chan leslie cheung anita mui legend of Hk Pop

She was truly brave and independent, she didn't obey anyone and compassionately made her kingdom of fame and charities. Sadly, Very few HK ppl today are anywhere like her.

Anita and Leslie are the legend of HK entertainment industry and beyond.

Anita was a legend, no one before or after her comes close! She'll always be remembered dearly!

If you see a bright star in the middle of the night, is Anita Mui!

She’s truly a Hong Kong icon…

I saw her pictures inside big Buddha museum. People still bring her flower, people still miss her

Thank you for reporting on this I love Anita her music and creativity really got me through some tough times

Among females Anita Mui and Lin Dai made history in hongkong during their funeral processions. The whole of hongkong mourned for their passing and flooded the streets of hongkong as people walk out into the streets in waves to pay their respect and say goodbye to them.

i grew up as a child listening to her and she was my mothers favourite singer. this is my link and connection to my child hood, hong kong and my mother

gone so soon but yet never forgotten by the people who love her!!!

Great video and story telling.

Forever Love And Miss Her, My Idol Anita Mui❤

i grew up listening to some of her hits back in 80's, always thought she was the Asia's Madonna

the happy birthday is so touching 😢

My idol and role model she lived such a life that showed you both the ups and downs 😊

Glad to be able to see her last concert.

She is my fav actress too❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

No matter the West or East the eighties was the best decade.

I love this documentary 😊😊

Always my favorite. Forever be.

We missed the HK Queen of Pop👩🏻‍🎤

❤love her

What a legend. She is such an inspiration.

what a passionate life dedicated to showbiz

There will never be another Anita Mui. What an amazing person.

not only as singers, but just feel these artist all very educated and well spoken. the way they speak so clearly when singing, just nothing compared to todays

Rest in power, Anita. ❤

I know her mostly from her 20-year film career and her wide range of performances in all different genres of films, something touched on only lightly in this piece, but I was glad to learn more about her superstar pop music career from this. I particularly appreciated the reference to Momoe Yamaguchi, another favorite of mine.

Legend

If any hong kong people or anyone else is reading this and you think hongkong or your homeland is dead and this cause you sadness and anguish try not to think in this way. Your homeland is not dead it is changed instead. Nothing remained the same in this world forever and time marches on without waiting for anyone. A lot of places in this world have also seen changes already. May you know peace when you are able to direct your thinkings and feeling in another direction.

anita forever!

a superb documentary......she is gone but not forgotten......

當一個藝人想加入政治層面真的癡人說夢話...想想自己是怎麽紅的？ 就是輿論...她們不應該帶起任何風雨因爲那才是真正的誤導... 感謝這位...她就是天使...她能做到能分享她都完美...她就是hero...可是人類社會不應該有英雄...她比英雄還有厲害... 加油！

Great presentation of one's life.

I love listening to HongKong singers from the era of Zhou Xuen on the 50s of Shanghai and HongKong. The songs of that era of the late 40s -60s are are truly memorable. It was a terrrible Time when China was invaded and occupied by the west and Japan. But inspite of the gloom and oppression from the west, the the film industry under the Run Run Shaw brothers really opened up theme of challenging social à n d economic repression. I remember only a few names of the actresses, Song Titles and Singers of that time - Zhou Xue Li Li Huas Lin Dai Grace Ke Lan Yueh Tung Yu Ming Xiao FungFung The band and three modern jazzy- Chinese fusion songs and music are unique. they Some of the unforgettable Songs loved it and sung by 4 generations are -Tian Tian yaya -Wu Yueh da Fung -Cha Cza Cha - Bu Liao Qing - Wei shim Mo Yau Tui Ni Tiao Yen Lei - Yueh Lai Xiang - Ren Shou Ren Sen Ru Meong - Wei Shenmo Ni Bu Wei lai -Ze Lu Dao Piao ya piao Lang da Lang *My Chinese will be greatly improved if the recording of these ungu forgetable 50s-60s Shanghai-HongKong songs provide the Chinese language written clearly UTube and Utuber. Thank you so much for putting out your recording.

❤❤❤

*Anita Mui is the Madonna of the East*

There are numerous mega stars in HK, but it is only one "The Daughter of HK"--Anita Mui.

There was no female artist before her and there will never be another able to surpass what she had achieved and contributed to the industry. There is one and only Anita Mui.

no one out there deserves the title more than her

Thats the best title: Daughter of Hong Kong

Ann Mui Oi-fong and Anita Mui Yim-fong was a Guangdong province of mainland Hongkongers 🇭🇰 singer, songstress, actress former the "Femme Fatale" stereotype, or archetype. 😶

伤心😢

Anita는 사후 20년이 지나도 내게 영감과 존경을 주는 아티스트이자 인권운동가였고 최고의 스타입니다. 내 생애 최고의 스타 당신은 영원합니다.

Wow I have tears seeing them celebrate her, even though she passed so long.. humans are lovely 😊😊😊

Music can never be the same again ... They have given us an immensely precious music era which will be cherished in our hearts forever! 💞❤ 🎵❤🎼❤🎶❤️💞

Anita Mui October 10, 1963 - December 30, 2023 (40 years old)

@4:11 thats not anita, thats 陳慧嫻

1:53 PLEASE LOVE EM WHILE THEY HERE. ANYONE. APPRECIATE ALL ENERGY SHE HAS GIFTED THIS REALM #WLRz®️

Keeping it real….

Gone to soon, I know her from Jackie movies

In Entertainment World and Industry but tragedy Story Unknown to fans .

🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🥇🥇🥇🌹🌹🌹

Kathy chow 🙏🕊💐

Any Tar Mooi

I'm very surprised for a big star like her that she doesn't have a big burial plot like Teresa Deng.

香港女歌星陳慧嫻香港老舉！Hong Kong female singer Priscilla Chan Hong Kong Laoju!

It's Mui (mooi) not Moi....

If only she had gone to cure her cancer, she will be still alive today

Paula Tsui also had a low pitched voice. I love that kind of voice.

It would be nice if the narrator can at least get her name right. She was Anita Mui, not 'Moi'. If you can't pronounce the Cantonese 'Mui', try the Mandarin 'Mei' or just Anita. It is so disrespectful to get her name wrong, in a video dedicated to her.

At least get a narrator who can actually pronounce her name correctly!

Anita Mui and Teresa Tang never went to Chyna to earn rmb. Respect. ❤❤

In a way, I'm glad Anita is not around today to see what Hong Kong has become under Chinese dictatorship. She would be appalled and heartbroken to see that the freedom and liberty that she valued so much and fought so hard for has now been destroyed.

😢

He is not saying her name correctly.

Same age and also the same reason of death as Miki Matsubara. Parents remember to vaccinate your daughters against HPV. Sadly the vaccine wasn't available when those singers were girls.

I am a hongkonger, I have or had no daughter.

Why did he pronounced her name 'Moy' ?! it is 'Mui' , he knows better !

Please learn to pronounce Anita’s last name right. It’s not said like “moy”.

What is her elder brother doing now?? 😂😂

It's not normal that the biggest Hong Kong superstars are made before 1997. The peak of cantopop, great movies,... in an free atmosphere with the belief that growth is endless. All the actresses, actors, singers wouldn't be possible nowadays. The Hong Kong broadcasters of today are all chained by mainlands politics and producing mediocre products and artists.

04:13 this is not Anita this is another famous singer, Priscilla Chan. Lol

Was she related to that model who was chopped into many pieces and cooked in an oven by a hungry mainland crynese ?
