Andy Hui: No more sense of security
It has been one year already, if you ask any changes happened in the life of Andy Hui? I can tell you that it seems there is no more security. I still remember, in the past whenever there was anything happy or sad, I would call Si-fu, or even would go to her home right away to talk with her. We talked all kinds of things, such as football, romance, and career. Now, when I want to tell her any happy things, I can only tell her in my heart. Up till now, I still keep the mobile phone number of Si-fi in my mobile phone. But just like I have no guts to call that number, I don't have that sense of security.
To talk about my classic experience with her, maybe you all know too, but I will never never forget it. That year, I was candidate for the New Singer Contest, Anita Mui was the adjudicator, and I got #2. Then when recording the song [Chop open the iceberg] , they were looking for a male vocal for a few lyrics, she told them: [Why not let Andy Hui try. When I was the adjudicator, I gave this boy very high marks, I wanted him to be champion, now let him try.] I never imagined that she would ask me to sing. I still remember that I went to recording at Quarry Bay in school uniform. She approved right away after she heard my singing. This pulled us together.
After that, she brought us along for world singing tour, she gave me the chance to travel all over the world; when I had my first concert, she was my guest singer; when I got my [Most popular male singer award], she presented the award to me; then in the year before last, I asked Si-fu to sing the duet with me for "Suffering of women". Whenever I opened my mouth for help, she would never say "no".
Si-fu was the representative of chivalry
In my mind, Si-fu was the representative of chivalry, as long as you were someone she loved, whenever you asked for help, she would help without hesitation. Once I asked her to attend a function of my friend, she only asked me: [Is this your friend? ] I said yes, and she immediately said: [No problem. What time? Where?] Actually, she didn't have to be like that, it was only because that was my friend, and I was her student, then she would love all friends around me . She could treat her friends like this, I think its meaning is at a level .higher .
Between 1995 and 1996, my career was at a depression, she always urged me that all I needed was luck. She said luck was a funny thing, there would be one day it would come back, but before its return, did you really try hard to prepare yourself for the return? She taught me that people would not look down people with no luck, but when luck came I must grasp it.
She often shared her thought with me in the area of love: being a male, he must achieve to be "the hero in the eye of the woman whom he loves"; it was not by wealth and appearance, but you must let the woman feel that you could protect her, could handle all burdens. So Anita Mui was not only my si-fu on stage, she was my "wise man " off the stage.
I have regret towards Si-fu. During 1998 to 2001, for the breakthrough of my career, for a period I didn't have constant phone contact as in the past with her, this regret made me realize no matter how busy, I must spare time to cherish the people around me. Perhaps men are just like that, for their career they would neglect the important persons around them. Of course Si-fu never blamed me, but deep down in my heart, I always rebuke myself. Besides, the picture
