ANITA MUI – CERVICAL CANCER

Anita Mui is known as the Madonna of Hong Kong, and of course, the title rightfully fits. She has excellent acting and singing chops, just like her Western namesake. She has wowed audiences with her stellar performances and has established a fanbase across the globe. Her fantastic stage-presence, unique voice, and constant change image were the gold standards of Canto-pop singers that admired her.

Even behind the fame and glamour on stage, she has a bittersweet story of a lonely child where her fame made her unfortunate in love. She died of cervical cancer, although she previously received chemotherapy to fight the disease. Prior to her death, she was actively involved in many generous investments in various charitable projects. In her will, Mui bequeathed a portion of her properties to fashion designer Eddie Lau and the rest to her mother, nieces, and nephews. What followed was a legal battle that required the intervention of lawyers.
