17 Years Since the Passing of Hong Kong Superstar #AnitaMui: "Losing my career path is fine. The road to democracy is the most important"
Seventeen years ago, Hong Kong singer, actress and popular icon Anita Mui passed away on December 30, 2003 at the age of 40. For her righteousness and valiance, she is forever a superstar in Hongkongers' hearts.
Mui voiced support for the pro-democracy movement in China as early as in May 1989, before the June 4th Tiananmen Massacre took place. In Hong Kong, Mui participated in rallies and protests, despite her busy showbiz schedule. She also lent her voice to the pro-democracy song "For Freedom" (1989).
Mui is always remembered for her persistence on justice and outcry for the Chinese Communist Party government's suppression of pro-democracy movement.
It was also reported that Mui quit the leading role in Center Stage (1990), a work by renowned Hong Kong director Stanley Kwan, because she refused to go to China for shooting.
When asked in 1990 if she was worried about the impact of her outspokenness on her career, Mui said, "Losing my career path is fine. The road to democracy is the most important."

Denise Ho Sing On After Arrest and Thank Cantopop Diva Anita Mui: "Do what you should do in the limited time you have"
Pro-democracy Hong Kong Cantopop singer #DeniseHo (#HOCC) is among the 6 Stand News staff members and directors who were arrested by National Security Police on suspicion of "conspiring to publishing seditious publications."
After being released on bail on December 30, 2021, Ho carried on with her online concert "HOCC MINILIVE" on 2 January 2022, as scheduled.
At the end of the concert, Ho thanked her mentor and Cantopop legend, the late #AnitaMui, for mentoring her and taking her in as family. "Without her, I believe I wouldn't find the courage to stand up at this very important moment."
During her detention, Ho resorted to meditation and chanting scriptures to pass time. Later she started singing songs by fellow pro-democracy musicians Anita Mui and Anthony Wong. "As I sang, I realized the power of music," Ho recalled. "It goes beyond entertaining people; it offers healing and companionship."
Ho has been insistent at holding this concert. In a broken voice, she thanked her supporting staff; with only a brief exchange of glances, her crew members understood that she wanted to go ahead with this concert, "no matter if she would be here or not."
She also offered words of encouragement to herself and her supporters, "Do what you should do in the limited time you have," and "do well at what you do best."
