The Derek Tsang Kwok Cheung, Jimmy Wan Chi Man written and directed LOVER'S DISCOURSE (LUEN YUN SHUI YU) will be released next year. The film starred Eason Chan Yik Shun, Kay Tse On Kay, Mavis Fan Hiu Huen, Eddie Peng Yu-yen, William Chan Wai Ting, Kit Chan Kit Yi and others. They all gladly offered to sing the theme song. Finally Fan Hiu Huen's mother DD Lin ended up performing HAVE A GOOD LIFE!

Having known Tsang Kwok Cheung for 11 years, Fan Hiu Huen volunteered to write the music and lyrics of HAVE A GOOD LIFE. Logically she would be the most likely singer, but she said, "I am an actor in the film, if I turn back into a singer and sing the theme song my identity would be very awkward and confuse viewers." Finally Fan Hiu Huen recommended her mother DD Lin. Both directors were in disbelief? "Huh? Ma Huen?"

Actually Ma Huen was a famous pub singer early on and had a lot of experience. Director Tsang Kwok Cheung recalled, "At the time we were half suspicious, but Huen Huen was very confident that Ma Huen was the best choice. She told us to listen to her demo then decide."
