12 Dec 2002 -- The soundtrack from Hero went strait up to 2nd place at YesAsia's Top-100 selling list. Good for Faye to get this exposure. Also notable on the list is that Only Love Strangers takes 12th spot, an amazing result for an over 3 years old album. That CD must be Faye's best commersial album ever.

10 Dec 2002 -- This is a little of topic, but anyway. Zhang YiMou has spoken about his HERO in an interview with Beijing Youth. He said there was little hope for HERO to grab anything from the Oscars and he was not expecting anything, not even a nomination. He explains why the film is less than 100 minutes long and he also mentions an alternative ending specifically made for "the Americans". The interview has spoilers (which is marked up) so be careful when reading if you plan to see the movie later. You can read the full interview here.   Source: Monkey Peaches

5 Dec 2002 -- Eva, who runs wongfei.org, has found a rare and old song that Faye sang around 1993 / 1994 which I believe is a cover of a George Lam song. The song is in Cantonese, but starts out in French which is a real treat for all the French Fayenatics! Download the song here (headline 'December 2')   Source: LaJaBor
