How sad. I am sure this news came as a shock to most people. The legends falling one by one. I hope Anita Mui finds peace.
Such a pity.

a very sad year that is with leslie and anita gone . WHo will replace her in the ZHang Yimou new movie House Of Flying Dagger

Quite difficult to express how I feel hearing about her death.

I recognised her first b/c of her acting then found out that she's infact a great singer as well (undoubtedly great voice). She's the only Chinese singer who attracts my attention and gains my admiration...I've even collected around 20 of her albums eventhough I don't understand a word of Cantonese (nor Mandarin), however, I managed to get some of the lyrics of my favourite songs translated.

I own almost all of her movies too 'cause she's just a really wonderful and talented actress.

I sure am gonna miss seeing her performance but I have my collections to reminisce with her memories and she'll always stay pleasently in my heart.

Farewell great star...

Anita was one of those rare artistes who had both substance and onstage presence. She was truly talented. The entertainment industry is poorer now that she has departed.

RIP, Anita. You will be fondly remembered.

no disrespect to Anita Mui or other artist that sadly pass away in the year 2003 and before...

But I heard rumors saying that these stars want to leave the public life and the only way they can do this is to fake their own death so they can live in peace.

I think that is what some people said about Elvis too... but who knows.

This is indeed sad. 40 is still too young to die.

I have no pity for Leslie Cheung, he had plenty for himself.

Anita's untimely demise really shocked me. I thought she would recover all along. I heard the news when I was in the chat room at HKVP Radio (www.hkvpradio.com)

There is a lot of tribute and info on Anita at the site. Check it out.

My favourite songs by Anita are Chee Sui Lau Nin, Sum Jai, Mong Boon and Cheng Gwai Haw Chue.

It actually happened during a game show. Ka Kui and the Jap host both fell, but the guy fell on his chest but KK fell on his head. Comatose for 7 days, he died a week later.

His Eng name was Koma... not a good omen.

I never got to know his music until after his passing but still I miss him so.

One day he and all his fanz will meet again in a distant paradise.

O Fabulous Anita!

O fabulous Anita!
Chinese music world’s consummate diva—
Enormous talent: the world was her stage,
A treat to the senses regardless of age;
Deep emotive voice of distinctive quality,
Thespian, friend, philanthropist, personality.
A lifetime of performance; an untimely demise;
A legacy for remembrance; a repertoire that survives.

they decided to cancel anita's character in house of flying dagger. the reason they said was that they cannot find anyone who can act that character better than anita. so they decided to just make a change on the script. which is good, imo.

im surprised with how jia ju died. it might have come into a shock to his family, friends, the gameshow host, and i think to himself also.

i saw how they decorated anita's funeral. her picture is unique. it's a great idea--to put her different pictures in the background. suits her image, as they say.

as well as Anita Mui, the lyricist Lam Chun Keung died recently too in November - followed by his younger brother who died on the same day as Anita Mui

[Crazy8]

two word:

bad year. i know it was bad for me! two people in my family passed away in less then 3 months.

[cherrie]

yeah i heard that news too (the lam brother's death due to the same illness)

it's been a really bad year for us too. not that someone in our family died, but rather we've been to many problems last year. many conflicts... my dad even had fever last dec 31!

[Coolnuker]

Mrs. Mui (Anita Mother) never revealed the names of people she had differences with, and only said she cannot wait to tell all about her 20 plus years of suppressed anger with Anita's friends.

What you think about this statement from Anita Mom ?!?!?

This looks so... HUGE HUGE news in the entertainment !!!

i read also that it has something to do with anita's yi chu? i hope they would let anita rest in peace! btw, is she already cremated or not yet?

[cherrie]

i read in the papers just now that andy lau will personally brush her hair--rather her wig. what a great friend! also she will wear a white wedding gown in her coffin. the gown was a combination of chinese and western style. and her coffin is the same as leslie's coffin--worth $3,000,000!

[Cece]

I heard about her death 2 hours after she died that day. It was shocking.

My utmost respects to her
