Time flies by on the fingertips, and your appearance may age, but music and images can freeze the years. There will always be a song or a movie that will touch the memory of your youth.
As a Hong Kong film lover, I strongly recommend the following 5 Hong Kong film and television hits.
1. "Half Life" (1997)
"Half Life" is directed by Ann Hui, starring Lai Ming, Karen Wu, Anita Mui, and Ge You. It is adapted from Zhang Ailing's novel "Eighteen Spring" . The film is set in Shanghai in the 1930s and tells the story of a pair of lovers played by Lai Ming and Wu Qianlian who suffered from fate in a conservative era. As the theme song of the film, Lai Ming's "Half Life" is as depressing and heavy as the movie. It is accompanied by the desperate words of "We can never go back to this world", which made the audience sigh.
"Half Life"
Lyrics: Lin Xi; Music: Huang Guolun; Singer: Li Ming
I'm still fine when I'm here
That young man was frivolous But let the years betray the flow of time
It is too late to forget the desolate face
Two people had a quarrel
A person will live forever
The entanglement of gathering less and leaving more
Confusion is the only answer
2. "City of Glass" (1998)
"City of Glass" is A love movie directed by Zhang Wanting and starring Lai Ming and Shu Qi. The film tells a poignant love story about a pair of lovers who were forced to break up, unexpectedly reunited after their respective marriages, and reunited with the lingering past and old feelings. The film's narrative spans twenty years, and is not only a lament for this love, but also about the memories and forgetfulness of this city.
"This Life Is No Longer"
Lyrics: Lin Xi; Music: Dick Lee; Singer: Dawn
Just take advantage of the melodious singing voice
The glass reflects the illusion that this life will no longer exist
The brightest moon in this world is hanging in the sky
What will the short-lived future think about
Hate the melodious singing this night
p>
How many seconds can be shared with your favorite
All kinds of love and love
How many generations can it be spread and still singing
3. "Star Wish" (1999)
"Star Wish" is a film directed by director Ma Chucheng. It tells the story of the love between humans and ghosts in a Hong Kong hospital. This is another tribute to "The Love between Humans and Ghosts" by Hong Kong movies. "Unfinished" classic work. At the end of the story, Akio and Onion finally recognize each other, fulfill their respective wishes and bid farewell forever. This conflict-free tragedy brings the heaviest grief in the gentlest way to the slow music.
"Wish in the Stars"
Lyrics: Gao Xuelan; Music: Jin Peida; Singer: Cecilia Cheung
Heartbroken and unable to breathe
Find No trace of you left
Looking at you helplessly
But unable to do anything
Let you disappear at the end of the world
Find No reason to be strong
I can no longer feel your tenderness
Tell me where the starry sky is
Is there an end there
4. "Infernal Affairs" (2002)
"Infernal Affairs" is a classic police film directed by Liu Weiqiang and Mak Siu-fai. The identities of the two protagonists are misplaced, and they are respectively undercover police officers, wandering on the edge of good and evil. 10 years ago, Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming passed each other outside the gate of the police academy. 10 years later, the two met in front of the video store. Tsai Chin's velvet voice slowly flowed out like an old record. The song contained the peaceful and restrained loneliness. The feeling allows people with neither identity to enjoy a sense of peace in that moment, but in the "infinite hell" of spiritual loneliness that comes with it, the reincarnation of fate in black and white, light and dark is self-evident.
"The Forgotten Time"
Lyrics/Music: Chen Hongming; Singer: Tsai Chin
Who is knocking on my window
Yes Who is playing the strings
That forgotten time
gradually comes back to my heart
Who is knocking on my window
Who is playing the strings
The happy scene in my memory
Slowly emerges in my mind
The slowly falling rain
p>Keep hitting my window
Only the silent me
Thinking back to the past from time to time
5. "The Thief of Time" (2010)
In the 2009 Hong Kong literary film "Thieves of Time", director Luo Qirui used the experience of the late 1960s as the background to describe the situation of a small Hong Kong family, through several plump and vivid characters. Characters, romantic and pure first love stories, mutual affection, as well as worldly relationships and separation between life and death. Just like these 20 years, time passes but true love lasts forever.
"The Years Are Frivolous"
Lyrics: Luo Qirui; Music: Lu Guanting; Singer: Li Zhiting
Ah ~ the reverberation in the sky
Look around The years are frivolous
Ah ~ the years are frivolous
The windy days are unrestrained
The drizzle is falling and the heart is clear
Clouds go up and go up Watch
Take a trip on the clouds
Wandering in the dark night of youth
Youthful love does not look back
Does not look back and does not answer
If you don’t recall, you won’t look back
You won’t look back anyway
