Flower Woman by Anita Mui
Anita Mui is a hugely famous singer and actress who has been dubbed the Madonna of the east (東方麥當娜) given her diva-like attitude.
She won a lot of awards in music!
Sadly she died at the young age of 40, and never had the chance to get married sadly.

If you have smelled the fragrance of the flowers, don’t ask me, who is the red flower for

Loved, you would know the deep feeling, drunk, you would know the strong wine. The flowers bloom and fall, eventually it is empty.
