  • This is the animation video for the Andy Lau's song 藕斷絲連 ("Root Broken, Thread Remains") with English translation and Yale romanization. The title is a Chinese idiom - an analogy between a lotus root and love. Though the root may be broken (lovers separated) the thread remains (they still miss each other). If I'm not mistaken Andy himself composed the lyrics for this song.
    It is a sub themesong for the TVB series: The Edge of Righteousness. The main themesong has the a faster but very similar melody, different lyrics; I did a video if here: • Andy Lau: 現實是場夢 with r...
    English translation, video animations and the overall presentation were done by me. Static background image was obtained from Google Images search. The character in the background is from Sega's Yakuza video game series. His name is Goro Majima and if you have played Yakuza 0, you'll see this song's lyrics describe his past quite fittingly.

      This is probably the most underrated song of all time. Never in his concerts well that i know of. I really miss cantonese songs 90s. Its all mandarin these days. Do i think chinese songs have lost its flair? Maybe im hk person and that is why i think that. Sure qian mian and wang qing shui are good..lei si ngor det lu yun w kenny g is good. I guess its the market. I think this is the odd pinnacle w other songs from his motorbike movie 1995 and thai boxing movie 2000. Ai bu wan canto also good. Yuan jin- Also a beloved canto song. Please kiryu character YUAN JIN. 😄. Andy is good w emo. Jacky is technical. IMO. Lols. I prefer Andy. I love your shirley kwan. Nan det you qing yun. Faye Wong- Lei Yut Foong. Monsoon.
