What did Leslie Cheung say at the cash prize in 2000?

Leslie Cheung's speech at the 2000 annual cash dinner.

Mr barnett and all the distinguished guests,

I am honored to be appointed as the cash ambassador. Music is a very important part of any culture, and I believe all of us here will agree that we must keep our cultural vitality and motivation. This is especially important for places like Hong Kong, where most people are busy working for money and fame. Culture will help us keep a balance in life. Because of this belief, I, who have no formal music training, have been trying my best to promote music for many years, not only by singing and performing, but also by writing tunes and lyrics for songs. I like doing this, and I think I am contributing to the music and culture of Hong Kong in a small way.

I also believe that it is very important for artists to be creative, so I have been trying to create new ways of entertainment and even lead new trends. My recently described controversial concert is an example of my efforts in this direction. They attracted many favorable comments and some criticisms. I think this is good, and I will continue to be creative. I know all of you will agree and do the same. Thank you!

Last but not least, music is our profession and livelihood, and the works we create should be protected from piracy. Unfortunately, advanced information technology has aggravated this situation, caused many problems and threatened the livelihood of many artists. I hope to take this opportunity to call on all artists to unite against piracy. In fact, I think this is one of the most important missions of the cash ambassador, and I will make my efforts for it.

Thank you very much

Dear Mr. barnett and distinguished guests,

I am honored to be chosen as the cash music ambassador. Music is an important part of any culture. I believe everyone here will agree that we must maintain cultural prosperity. Especially in places like Hong Kong, people are busy chasing fame and wealth, and culture can help keep the balance of life. Based on this belief, I have been trying to promote music, not only singing and performing, but also composing and writing lyrics, although I have not received professional training in music. I like these jobs very much, and I think this is also my contribution to Hong Kong music and culture.

I also believe that innovation is essential for artists. So I have been trying to create new forms of entertainment and try to guide new trends. For example, my recent concert (referring to the enthusiastic concert in 2000) was such an attempt. The concert caused controversy, praise and criticism. This is good, I will continue to work hard. I'm sure you will all agree with this and work hard. thank you

Finally, I want to say that music is our profession and means of livelihood, and the fruits of our labor should be protected. Regrettably, advanced information technology has intensified the phenomenon of piracy, brought many problems and threatened the livelihood of artists. I want to take this opportunity to call on all our artists to unite against piracy. I also regard this as one of the important missions of CASH Music Ambassador, and I will devote myself to it.

Thank you very much

Is it like this at the beginning of Cantonese?

Dear friends, I feel that I was praised by Mr. barnett today. I am so picky that I am less and less shocked. This burden is so heavy. Especially for me, although I have been working quietly in this circle for 20 years, in fact, for music, for every friend here, it is just a matter of pediatrics and children. Please forgive me and give me more advice.

But I, of course, accepted this important task, and I will try my best to help CASH do what I can, including music and, of course, some non-profit activities related to CASH. Next, I know there are many foreigners here today, so I must speak some English.
