Heart Debt

I re-watched [Dance with a dream] recently, Anita Mui performed the role of a career woman with an attitude of a little woman naturally, so loveable, just right.  Though she was not beautiful, she got genes of acting.  She could perform any roles perfectly well, and naturally with ease.  No matter it's Fleur in [Rouge] or [Chai Chuan Wong] in [Wu Yen], her performing talent all got acknowledged.

[Should be loved, and should be matched, but fated can be together.....]  Every time when I listen to that song, I feel very touched.  Her singing is just like weeping, telling her sorrows, full of compassion and grief.  The lyrics are beautiful but sad.  It makes people feel that love is sometimes just a series of regrets and helplessness.  Is  love without blossom and ending more beautiful, more impressed?

During her past life of art, she brought  one memory after the other to the musical stage, just like the bright  firework bringing dazzling rays to the  pitch

 

 dark sky.  Even to the last moment, still tried to leave behind the most glistening rays with all strength.

Her talent in singing and film performing had won her innumerous  honors, applause, fame and fortune, but she was still lonely in heart.  Love had never cared for her too much.  Every love affair was just "mirror flower water moon", every time just came and gone.

Tonight, I heard her [Holding the one in front of me tightly] again, really hard to accept that it already became  the final song.  But I believe, life is undoubtedly full of many regrets.  Sometimes just have to accept with helplessness, and to compromise.   also some regrets can only be buried in heart forever, till end of the world.

Had Anita Mui already paid her [Heart Debt] during her life, or are there still some unpaid [Heart Debt]?

(Not to worry, she has paid in full all sorts of debts including heart debts of this life, she owes nothing to anyone anymore, she is in the land of Nirvana, surrounded by peace and love.....by Woodstock)
