  She seizes a shard
  And draws a crim­son line across her wrist
  She is not her reflec­tion
  She becomes glass, glass becomes her: cold, dead

  The mir­ror, the harsh­est truth of all.

  Is she afraid that her aging lines are showing?

  Is she afraid that the mir­ror reflects her true self whom other peo­ple do not see?

  Mir­rors do not lie.
  Nei­ther do dream­ers who talk in their sleep.

  Mag­gie — she’s a authen­tic Chi­nese beauty & a fab­u­lous actress.
  I’m a fan.

  Ken, this is amaz­ing, and the photo cap­tures what you’ve wrote so well… I couldn’t think of another word than amaz­ing.. “sorry” It is 9 am here and I am starving!

  No one depicts pon­der­ous reflec­tions bet­ter than Mag­gie Che­ung. Maybe Claude Jade. But Maggie’s my top pick!! I think Ashes of TIme is the only WKW film I have yet to see. Right, to Bitor­rent I go!!

  Mag­gie Che­ung looks Japan­ese in this pic, is she? Beau­ti­ful poem too.

  Wow! What a gor­geous pic­tures of Mag­gie Che­ung.… I haven’t watched her movies for quite long time (I guess the last time was more than 15 years ago… or more…).

  Reminds me of a Chi­nese proverb: pee and look at your­self through the reflection!

  as da one who pauses over­long , & wishes with much regret into the mir­ror with just a tiny glimse of her hag­gard soul . there can be no reprieve except from today go out and just do it , for time is short

  life has no regrets , plse tell us so

  It’s from one of my fave scenes in the film Ashes of Time, a near mono­logue by Mag­gie Cheung’s char­ac­ter, which made me think of a woman talk­ing to her­self, or her own reflection.

  The red is not so much star­tling as it is beguil­ing, yes?

  Yet truth all the same.

  Who knows what she fears? Your guess is as good as mine.

  And I have a story about dream-talking but I’ll leave that or another day…

  It’s 11:58pm and I just returned from din­ner and I’m starv­ing too! Guess that explains my cur­rent state. *sees com­ment above yours*

  Okay, I’m sure I still have a cou­ple of slices of moon­cake left…

  I *heart* Mag­gie Che­ung is all I’m gonna say.

  Oh, and there’s a new director’s revised ver­sion out — Ashes of Time Redux.

  Don’t keep her wait­ing too long, bro.
• Kenny Mah wrote:

  Oct 4, 2009 at 8:29 am

  No, her char­ac­ter in the film is still Chi­nese but I guess there is that Nip­pon effect. Has she ever acted as a Japan­ese, I won­der, now that you got me think­ing of it.
• Kenny Mah wrote:

  Oh she has done some amaz­ing films since then. Her act­ing truly improves with age. Right now, aside from a deleted cameo in Quentin Tarantino’s lat­est flick, she has sorta retired from act­ing though.

  I think she is so good she can act as any char­ac­ter she wants, even Japanese.

  She’s sim­ply amaz­ing, is what she is.

  Aye, by a few min­utes. And crazy colour sat­u­ra­tion. It is some­what eas­ier to digest, methinks.
