Is the song fast or slow ? Any more hints other than it is sung by Mui?

I don't know... Just heard it a few times on a concert.
 
Can you describe the song a little bit?

It's a pity that she died so young. Early last year, her best friend, Leslie Cheung, also a very popular Cantonese singer, leaped from the 20th floor of a hotel and died, which was a great shock for Mui. It's pretty sad of losing 2 very good singers in one year.

Just list all the best cantonese songs by Mui and I'll listen to them each by each.
