1994 Hong Kong movie directed by Derek Yee Tung-Shing and starringAnita Yuen ,Lau Ching-Wan andCarina Lau .Title
The movie is sometimes referred to as "C'est la vie, mon chérie" even though this is grammatically incorrect in French (either "mon chéri" for a man or "ma chérie" for a woman is grammatically correct).
The original Chinese title refers to the classic
1961 Hong Kong film "Love Without End " (不了情) starringLin Dai , with the word "new" (新) added in front of it. The storyline is similar, in that the female lead character is also diagnosed with a fatal illness.An alternative English title is "Endless Love".
Plot
Min (Anita Yuen), a street singer who is part of a street opera troupe and part-time cover artiste, meets Kit (Lau Ching-Wan), a struggling jazz musician who has just broken up with his girlfriend (Carina Lau). Through her bubbly personality, she affects Kit for the better. However, just as their relationship begins to stabilize and win acceptance from Min's family, Min is diagnosed with cancer.
