Mulder, you don’t have to do this. You’re stronger than this.

1. Remember that you didn’t alter real life war poems to relate to the family tree of Knuckles the Echidna in an official licensed comic series.

哥哥，Leslie Cheung, taking part in a TV special in 1999, paying homage to famed Cantonese opera star of the 1950s and '60s, Yam Kim-fai (任劍輝), on the 10th Anniversary of Yam's passing.

Leslie was known to be a huge fan of Cantonese opera and a fan of the Yam-Bak (Yam together with her performing partner Bak Sheut-sin [白雪仙]) combo in particular.

Here he is singing a popular piece, 「香夭」, from the popular opera, 《帝女花》, alongside actress and entertainment veteran and amateur Cantonese opera practitioner, Liza Wang.

Although 哥哥 never formally received any opera tutelage (unless you count whatever tutelage he should/would have received for the times he performed opera for his film roles), he managed to hold his own against Liza Wang, who isn't actually that good in singing in my opinion, despite her self-professed ‘being a student of opera’ and having more experience than Leslie and even obviously outshone her here! :D The awkward tension between them is quite obvious!

Bonus:

Anita Mui can be seen in the audience too, presumably supporting her good friend Leslie, while thoroughly enjoying the song — even mouthing along to the lyrics! (^^) ↓↓

Around the 3:11 mark

Around the 5:37 mark

If I recall correctly, Anita was also known to be quite a fan of Cantonese opera.

Cantopop diva Anita Mui during her last concert in November 2003. Anita would pass away a month later due to cervical cancer.

"Instant shining is not eternity. Show business is a hard life. I wonder how many people will remember me after I leave the business for good. My hope is that when they feel bored and look at the stars in the sky, people will think of my name."
