Recently, a Hongkong radio station did a long-distance phone interview with the Canada-based Wenhao, whose English name is Royce Poon. The 28-year-old revealed that he has already seen the film three times and that he was moved to tears by the scenes involving his mother, Anita’s older sister Ann Mui, and his aunt.
Wenhao was only seven years old when his mum died of cervical cancer in 2000, three years before Anita succumbed to the same disease.After Ann passed away, her estranged husband left Hongkong with Wenhao and his younger brother Jinhao to live overseas. They completely lost touch with Anita and did not know that she had tried very hard to search for them.
Describing Anita as “straightforward”, “strong”, and someone who “loved to joke around and make everyone happy”, Wenhao recalled being rather intimidated by his aunt.
