ANITA MUI
RIP (1963-2003)
Anita Mui, nicknamed the Madonna of Asia and star of many classic Hong Kong films such as ROUGE, THE HEROIC TRIO, and THE MOON WARRIORS, succumbed to cancer on December 30th at the golden age of 40. We at Tai Seng mourn the loss of one of Asia's most versatile and dazzling singers/actresses and are proud to be the distributor of some of her best films on VHS and DVD. May she rest in peace.
Anita Mui announced in early September 2003 that she had cervical cancer and was undergoing treatment. Some of her friends and the media were baffled as to why she took so long to undergo treatment when it appeared she knew of her ailment when it was in a fairly early stage. It was widely believed she forwent early treatment because she wanted to preserve the possibility to conceive. Mui eventually lost her battle to cervical cancer and died of respiratory complications at Hong Kong's Sanatorium Hospital on December 30, 2003 at 02:50 (local time). She was 40 and single. Her sister, Ann Mui, also a Hong Kong singer, died of cancer in 2000.
Anita was originally cast for Zhang Yimou's 2004 movie "House of Flying Daggers". She resigned from her position in the movie only two weeks before her death. Zhang had held her parts of filming to the last due to her poor health condition. The filming was already 80% done when she died. Zhang didn't replace Anita's role with another actress. The screenplay was changed to take the storyline off the original character. The new leader of the "House of Flying Daggers" never appears in the movie because it was Anita's role.

"She passed away peacefully and beautifully. Her own last wish was that her fans and reporters could let her go quietly, not to cry and call out her name," said Jackie Chan.
