吻别

this song is voted as one of the songs for 20年经典金曲at this year's 金曲奖today.

a real classic song by 张学友which i remember was the hottest song back in 1993. it was especially memorable with 周海媚putting in a sultry performance in the music video. 吻别could be heard on the radio several times a day and hogged the music charts then. you could also literally hear the song every where on the streets.

why do i remember the year so clearly?

because that was the year when i was posted to australia for an admin tour of duty of 4 months. sk commented if the song will still be 'in' while we were stranded in mandopop 'desert' for 4 months. 吻别not only survived those few months by becoming a monster hit that year, it has truly become a timeless mandopop classic of our times.
