2011 Re-release and Remake
In memory of the late Leslie Cheung, director Ching Siu-tung and producer Ng See-yuen re-released the film in theaters across mainland China on April 30, 2011. According to press release, the film was digitally remastered from the original negatives and six months were spent on the remastering. In addition, premieres took place in both Beijing and Shanghai. Ching Siu-tung, Ng See-yuen and Lau Siu-ming were present. However, Wu Ma and Joey Wong, who were invited, did not attend the premiere. Ching Siu-tung had difficulty tracking down Joey Wong and had to contact her through her family in Taiwan. He received a telephone call at the last minute from Wong's father, stating that the actress was in poor health and not in good condition to attend the premiere. Wong's father also quoted her daughter saying that acting in the film were her best memories.
That same year, a remake of the film was released. It starred Louis Koo, Liu Yifei, and was directed by Wilson Yip.
