Forget Him

Forget Him

"Forget Him" (忘記他) is arguably the most widely known Cantonese pop song ever produced. Written by Hong Kong media maverick James Wong, it was originally sung by Teresa Teng and was included in her first Cantonese album, "势不两立" (1980). [http://ent.sina.com.cn/s/2005-05-12/ba722292.shtml ]

Fifteen years later, the song was given a shocking makeover by Shirley Kwan, as part of her 1995 tribute album 'EX' All Time Favourites. This new Dream pop version was featured in Wong Kar-Wai's art house movie "Fallen Angels"(1995) as the Jukebox song number "1818". As the title suggested, the hitman played by Leon Lai wanted his accomplice, Michelle Reis, to forget him. [http://www.epinions.com/content_183810952836 ]
