张国荣一口好听的英式英语,你还记得吗?

I’m not very good at words, so I have to put it all in black and white. 

So Mr. Barnard and all the guests of honors, I’m very honored to have been made CASH Ambassador. Music is a very important part of any culture and I’m sure all of us here will agree that we must keep our culture alive and thriving.

This is particularly important in the place like Hong Kong when most people are busy working for money and fame. Culture will help us to maintain a balance in our lives. 

Because of this belief, I, who have not been properly trained in music, have for years been trying my best to promote music, not just by singing and performing, but also by creating tunes and writing lyrics for songs.

I enjoy doing this. I think that in a small way I’m contributing to the music and the culture of Hong Kong.

I also believe that it is important for artists to be creative, and so I have been working hard to create new ways of entertaining and even setting new trends. 

My resent concert, which has been described as controversial, I assemble my efforts in this direction. They have attracted many favorable comments as well as some criticisms. I think that is fine. And I will continue to be creative. I know all of you will approve and do the same. Thank you.

The last but not the least, music is our profession and our livelihood. And the works we have created should be protected from piracy. Unfortunately, advanced information technology has helped aggravate the situation, causing many problems and fracturing the livelihood of many artists.

I wish to use this opportunity to call upon all the artists to unite in the campaign against piracy. In fact, I consider this one as the most important mission of CASH Ambassador and I will dedicate my effort to this. Thank you very much.
