I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 523 One Moment in Time
Anita Mui is very happy!
However, they were also quite reserved.

She enjoyed this happiness, but also missed the stage.

Otherwise, when Leslie Cheung called for forming a band, Anita Mui would have been the first to respond.

It's not for fame or money, but simply to enjoy performing.

When the Rebirth Band made their debut, she remained quietly on the sidelines, never trying to steal the spotlight from Liu Jin and the others.

She simply loves the stage.

But she was afraid of making others worry.

Liu Jin noticed that when someone shouted for the Rebirth Band to come on stage, Anita Mui's eyes sparkled...

"Amos, stop fooling around, Amei's health..."

"Tch, don't treat Anita like a porcelain doll, okay?"
She was none other than the stunningly beautiful Anita Mui!

The doctor said to be happy, so let's make her happy. When is Anita happiest? When she's singing, right?

Anita Mui couldn't help but laugh.

She stood up, hugged Liu Jin, and then turned and walked towards the center of the square.

“Maggie, go tell those bumpkins how awesome the lady who’s coming up here is.”

Maggie smiled too.

She quickly chased after him.

And behind her followed a little tail.

fairy...

"You're not going?"

Liu Jin looked at Qianqian and said.

Qianqian, holding up her DV camera, shook her head and laughed, "I'm filming."

"as you like!"

Liu Jin ignored Qianqian and walked with Leslie Cheung to the edge of the square, watching Anita Mui walk onto the 'stage' from a distance of several dozen meters.

"Friends of Grysan!"

As Anita Mui searched for songs on the karaoke machine, Maggie Cheung picked up the microphone and spoke.

“I am Maggie Cheung, from Hong Kong Island, China.”

I am an actor!

“I know you, Emily!”

Someone shouted.

Emily is the character played by Maggie Cheung in the movie "Clean".

Of course, she is also the Berlin Film Festival Best Actress winner.

With her brilliant performance in "Ruan Lingyu".

However, that was a long time ago, almost thirteen years ago.

The French people know her, but they remember her face mainly because of her wonderful performance in "Clean" last year.

Of course, there's also Fei Xue from "Hero" and Su Lizhen from "In the Mood for Love," who wears a hundred cheongsams.

"Who says foreigners are blind and can't recognize Chinese people?"

Liu Jin lowered his voice and said to Leslie Cheung, "They're just too arrogant to want to know each other."

When you are outstanding and capable enough, they will remember what you look like without making a fool of themselves.

Leslie Cheung nodded and glanced at Lau Chun.

"Just like you?"

"Of course!"

Qianqian faithfully recorded all of this using a DV camera.

"Let me introduce a great singer who also comes from Hong Kong, China, and is also a member of the Rebirth Band."

Anita Mui, Anita!

Anita Mui had already chosen her song by then.

When Zhang Manyu handed the microphone to her, a bright smile bloomed on her slender face.

"One Moment in Time, dedicated to everyone!"

Upon hearing the song title, both Liu Jin and Leslie Cheung's expressions changed slightly.

This song was America's team song at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.

The singer is Whitney Houston...

A great singer, often compared to Mariah Carey as America's two lungs in the 1990s.

Unfortunately, after marrying in 1992, Whitney became addicted to drugs under the influence of her husband, Bobby Brown (an R&B singer). This was later exposed by the media, and coupled with her drug use and domestic violence, her image suffered.

However, Sister Iron Lung seized the opportunity and her career has been thriving ever since.

Whitney gradually faded from the public eye...

Although she occasionally released albums, they were nowhere near the heights of her peak. Earlier this year, Whitney announced she was undergoing drug treatment and completely disappeared from the public eye.

Anita Mui chose this song...

This is a very classic song.

Competition, hard work, willpower...

Whether you admit it or not, America in the 1980s and 90s became a beacon for the world because they truly had something good during that period!
But as time goes on...

This is probably the effect of a strong foundation.

Two hundred years of history can only produce a few decades of glory.

“Each day I live
Every day of living

I want to be a day to give the best of me
I hope it will be a day when I can dedicate myself wholeheartedly.

I'm only one, but not alone.
I am unique, but not alone.

My best day is yet unknown.
The best day is yet to come.

I broke my heart
I was heartbroken
Fought every gain to taste the sweetness
Fighting to taste the sweet fruit

Both Liu Jin and Leslie Cheung narrowed their eyes simultaneously.

Anita Mui's singing style is not Whitney Houston's style, but rather a... modified and redesigned singing style.

Leslie Cheung probably didn't have a deep understanding of it.

But Liu Jin could tell that Anita Mui's version of "One Moment in Time" was somewhat similar to the performance of the future Belgian singer Dana Vanellope.

It doesn't have Whitney Houston's powerful, lung-filled singing style, but it has a certain...

How to put it? A hero with a tender heart, yes, that's the feeling of a hero with a tender heart!
"Anita rearranged this song?"

Liu Jin asked in a low voice.

Leslie Cheung nodded and smiled, "She has always been a genius!"

In the square, Anita Mui sang with great passion.

I've laid the plans
I have made a plan.
Now lay the chance here in my hands
The opportunity is in my hands right now.
Give me one moment in time
Give me a moment of eternity
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When I perform better than I imagined

When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
When the distance to your dream is just a heartbeat away

And the answers are all up to me
"All the answers are up to me."

Her eyes glistened with tears.

This is also my life!
Anita Mui cried out in her heart.

What I want is this eternal moment...

This stage isn't as big as the Hong Kong Coliseum, but it's just as spectacular.

She glanced at her brother out of the corner of her eye, then at Lau Chun, who stood beside Leslie Cheung with his arms crossed and a smile on his face.

I wish moments like this could last forever!

I really want to sing with you all, one concert after another, singing our hearts out...

Give me one moment in time
Give me a moment of eternity
When I'm racing with destiny
When I race against fate

Then in that one moment of time
In that instant eternity
I will feel, I will feel eternity
I will feel the existence of eternity.
You're a winner for a lifetime
You are a winner in life.

If you seize that one moment in time
If you can seize this opportunity in time
Make it shine
Let it shine!

Every song has an end.

As the music slowly faded away, Anita Mui, holding a microphone, bowed deeply to the people around the square.

The moment she bowed, the previously quiet square suddenly erupted in enthusiastic applause.

The fairy stood next to Zhang Manyu and couldn't help but cover her mouth.

Tears streamed down my face.

This is truly radiant!

Zhang Manyu quickly walked to Anita Mui's side.

Fairy also realized what was happening and ran forward to support Anita Mui's arm.

At that moment, a sly glint flashed in Anita Mui's eyes.

She picked up the microphone and smiled, "Ladies and gentlemen, the next song is from Hong Kong, China, by a superstar, a great soul singer, Leslie Cheung..."

Her gaze fell on Liu Jin.

This made Liu Jin's heart skip a beat.

Sister Mei, please don't mess with me!
He couldn't help but shout out in his heart.

However, he was ultimately disappointed!

"...From China, yet made famous in France, a great writer, screenwriter, and actor, AMOS, Lau Jin!"

No!
A bitter look appeared on Liu Jin's face.
