Lyricist: Huang Weiwen (Wyman)
Composer: Wu Lecheng (Ronald Ng Lok Shing)


Andy Hui's new EP comes with five songs including the recommended tracks "Changing Room" and "Lover A." The main plug "Lover A" takes on a different kind of love with three different music videos portraying the complicated gay and lesbian relationships among four people. There is also a duet version of the song featuring Janice Vidal.


The lyrics of the song tells that it is inevitable that we might date several people before we find the Mr Right.In the process,we may play the role of "Lover A" many times,which makes us more mature.We may feel lonely and helpless sometimes,but we should not give up and go on to look for the right lover.If a person is lucky enough to find his perfect match,there's no need to ask questions about his past love story.All the other wrong people we have met help us find the right person in the end.

Single Man (2010) - Chinese Indie Film


Director: Hao Jie
CAST: Yang Zhenjun, Du Tianguang, Liang Youzhong, Liang Cunying, Ye Lan, Wang Suzhen


Storyline: Gujiagou village, Zhangjiakou city, Hebei province, northwest of Beijing, the present day.

Four old single men while away their time in grouchy banter, remembering their sex lives as young men. Back in 1966 Bighead Liang (Liang Youzhong), now over 70, lost his hand in a hay-cutting machine when flirting with the future mother of Qiaosan. Back in 1945,Gu Lin (Du Tianguang) was abandoned by his wife while trying to grope his sister-in-law in their shared bed one night. In the 1940s,12-year-old Liuruan (Liang Cunying) was in an arranged married to a young woman but refused to sleep with her on their wedding night. In fact,he is a homosexual. Back in 1975 as a young shepherd Old Yang (Yang Zhenjun) got local girl Eryatou pregnant. Now middle-aged, Eryatou (Wang Suzhen) is married to village head Hao and has a grown son, Hao Jiangen, who is still trying to pass his university entrance exam, but she and Old Yang still have regular sex when her husband is away. One day Old Yang decides to take a wife and buys a Sichuan girl (Ye Lan) from some human traffickers for RMB 6,000 (US$900). But she tries to run away after their first night together, and then Qiaosan tells his parents that he is in love with her and wants her as his wife.


This is a strange and delightful find from China: a sex comedy, bawdy and a little raunchy, about four elderly farmers. New director Hao Jie, with a bit of Boccaccio and a dollop of Rabelais, shows you a side of rural China you've probably never seen before.Director Hao grew up in a village in rural Hebei, northern China. His childhood memories, and the lives and loves of his relatives and neighbours make up the raw material of this fiction feature. But it's all based on fact, he says, and all but one of the actors in the film are non-professionals playing themselves, or somewhat fictionalized versions thereof. Which is all the more remarkable considering both the saucy nature of the material, and the genuine vitality and naturalness of the performances. Chinese indie cinema, at its most wryly entertaining. - Shelly Kraicer
