Aaron Kwok Fu Sing and Zhang Ziyi's first film together, LOVE FOR LIFE (JUI OI) will be released on the 16th. In the film Sing Sing was the only Hong Kong actor. In order to play the farmer character, Sing Sing provided his own voice and spent three months to study the unique Shanbei accent with an instructor.

The film was about poor farmers who sold blood and caught AIDS, which led to Sing Sing and Ziyi's ordinary yet passionate love story. Because Sing Sing had to express the AIDS patient experience, he had a deep understanding of their various symptoms. However, the always in shape Sing Sing thus had to let himself go with not only freckles on his face but also rough and dry skin. Sing Sing did not mind at all. "Although right now I have certain materialistic needs, once I get into character I already turn the farm life into my real life. It has quite a return to simplicity feeling. Looking back at me then, I really have a sense of joy. This belongs to another side that Sing Sing has." Sing Sing also talked about working with Ziyi and even said daringly that Ziyi was the most excellent, direct and talented among the actresses who he has worked with. They did not feel like they were acting but instead more like melting into reality. He could no longer described them with chemistry, they almost became one. He truly never had such an exchange with a co-star. Would he really fall for her? Sing Sing said that the film displayed an absolute type of love, in reality he had to learn to isolate from it.

How did he see rumored girlfriend Lynn Xiong (Hung Doi Lam)? Sing Sing said, "In the past decade or so I wouldn't inject anything personal into film, I don't want everyday life to mix with the character." At the time Ziyi just broke down, would she inject her emotions into her character? Sing Sing thought as Ziyi said, life always had different stages. When she interpreted her LOVE FOR LIFE character, she would put herself completely into it. She almost could not be differentiated between which one was real and which one was acting. She was really happy that at the time she had this character to keep her company. Sing Sing also agreed with what she said, "Without much life experience, she might not be able to play this character. (The outside said that she was demanding and troublesome?) I didn't sense that at all, she is very serious and hard working person at work. Outside of course would have different noises, but interpersonal relationship depends on luck. After the wrap I feel she put in an effort."

Sing Sing's acting in LOVE FOR LIFE was elevated and received good reviews. Would he like to win Best Actor again? Sing Sing never thought about it. Although he won two Golden Horse awards, this was beyond his control. If he acted just for awards, the character absolutely would not be played well. he would not be trapped under this baggage. He only hoped to play a different him and would be very satisfied with any improvement.
