On April 1st, I was working on JASMINE WOMEN in Shanghai, at the time
the SARS pandemic was very severe. We were the only ones left in the
studio. I heard the news on way to the set. I kept sticking my head
outside on the way, tears kept streaming as the wind continued to blow.
This year another pandemic came, would you in Heaven pray for everyone
to get over the hard times? Missing you!" At the same time I also
posted her eulogy 7 years ago.
