Red Star News: Why do you want to commemorate Coco in such a way on this special day?
Tang Feiyu: coco It’s been one year since Coco Li passed away, and everything seems like yesterday. I still remember that last year, on this day, the Chinese music scene was like a bolt from the blue, with overwhelming exclamations, regrets, reluctance, and pain from all directions, all because of her sudden death. With the permission of her family, we followed the entire process and made this documentary. We not only wanted to remember the life of such a top singer of the millennium, but also wanted to truly restore her brilliance to everyone through face-to-face narration by her family members. The hard work and hardships and pains that followed.

Red Star News: Li’s mother sings “365 Days of Missing You” a cappella, which makes people burst into tears. What kind of considerations are there?
Tang Feiyu: What I remember deeply is that at home in Hong Kong, when my mother Li heard that we were coming, she started preparing all kinds of precious information on Coco a few days in advance. Everyone shed tears many times and lamented. Recalling that the interview was very emotional, and in the end, he pulled everyone together and sang the classic song "365 Days of Missing You" with his daughter for the first time, which made people sad. Before leaving, Mrs. Li also comforted everyone, don't think that she has left, just think that she is just performing, and please don't forget her.
