What happens
Forever and Ever or Impetuous Fire (Original title: Jin sheng jin shi, Chinese: 今生今世), is a 1977 Hong Kong romantic drama film, directed by John Law (Mar Lo). Its Chinese title, "Jin Shung Jin Shi," literally means "This Life, This World." The film stars Alan Tang (Tang Kwon-Wing,), one of the notable actors in Hong Kong romantic and martial arts films during the 1970s. It co-stars a young Candice Yu (Yu On-On,)in one of the earliest projects in her career. She would later go on to become the first wife of Chow Yun-fat. The score was composed by Joseph Koo Ka-Fai. The film is often mistakenly listed as a 1972 film by the Hong Kong films archives, given that the leading actress Candice Yu would have been only 12 years old in 1972. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
