Speech by Leslie Cheung at the 2000 Cash Annual Dinner
Mr Barnett and all the guests of honour,
I am honoured to have been made CASH Ambassador. Music is a very important
part in any culture, and I am sure all of us here will agree that we must keep
our culture alive and driving. This is particularly important for a place like
Hong Kong where most people are busy working for money and fame, culture will
help us maintain a balance of lives. Because of this belief, I, who have not
been properly trained in music, have for years been trying my best to promote
music, not just by singing and performing, but also by creating tunes and
writing lyrics for songs. I enjoy doing this and I think that, in a small way,
I am contributing to the music and the culture of Hong Kong.
I also believe that it is important for artist to be creative and so I have
been working hard to create new ways of entertaining and even setting new
trends. My recent concerts which have been described as controversial are
examples of my efforts in this direction. They have attracted many favourable
comments as well as some criticisms. I think that is fine and I will continue
to be creative. I know all of you will approve and do the same. Thank you!
Last but not the least, music is our profession and our livelihood and the
works we have created should be protected from piracy. Unfortunately, advanced
information technology has helped aggregate this situation, causing many
problems and threatening the livelihood of many artists. I wish to use this
opportunity to call upon all the artists to unite in a campaign against piracy.
In fact, I consider this one of the most important missions for the CASH
Ambassador and I will dedicate my effort to this.
Thank you very much!
