Dear friends and supporters of the campaign to the ¨Avenue of Stars〃,
Further to our previous progress updates, we are pleased to share this important news with you: We received a message from the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) today confirming that Leslieˇs name will definitely appear on the ¨Avenue of Stars〃. The date for official announcement has not been fixed yet. We will be seeing the HKTB to discuss further next week.
So, our mission for the appeal to HKTB regarding Leslieˇs name on the Avenue of Stars is now done.
We have been working on this important campaign in a very low profile. We must apologize that we could not release too much information on the net throughout the course of our work. The reason why we have to work in such low profile is obvious: to avoid any unnecessary and unreasonable disturbances or attacks from somebody from Cyberworld who covered herself in the name of ¨HK fans〃. If you can recall: she wrote a very **distorted message on her own base, Leslie Pillow, a few webs in the Mainland China and on For Leslieˇs Lovers in Japan on December 25, 2003 in an effort to bring enough damages to this campaign. Many chose to believe in her message and stopped supporting the appeal. That was before December 30, 2003, the day Anita Mui passed away. After December 30?? i.e. after all Leslie fans witnessed the unpleasant incidences related to Leslie pursuant to Anitaˇs death , signatures supporting the appeal flushed in from all over the world. Many sent in a message along with their signatures apologizing for being influenced by "HK fans" and thus they were late.
We are pretty sure that, today, ¨HK fans〃 would feel embarrassed to read her own message which she wrote on December 25, 2003 on many websites.
Since the day we first launched this campaign on December 18, 2003, we had gone through different emotions: expectation, discouragement, anxiety, disappointment, agony, stress for heavy workload?? and now??. JOY!
Last but not least, we would like to say: Life is composed of conflicts and compromises. It is absolutely fine to have differences in opinion and methodology between each individual. If ¨HK fans〃 did not agree on the campaign that we are working on, it is not really necessary to distort facts to achieve her purpose of destroying otherˇs work, particularly when the work is for our dearest Leslie. Nevertheless, what really made us shivered was her words to a fan that she talked to after knowing that many fans had stopped supporting, she said ¨I feel good to see the damage〃!
Will keep you posted on any further development.
Best regards,
Nadia, Grace and Susanna
** Sorry that we do not want to take up too much space here to explain how ¨HK fans〃 distorted the facts. We may talk about it later if anyone are interested.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:
1. Ms. Kuniko Miyasaki from Japan had rendered wonderful support and help in this campaign. Without her input and hardwork in many aspects, this campaign wouldn't be a success. Thanks, Kuniko!
2. Ms Kinga from Korea had greatly helped in various ways in co-ordinating with websites in Korea in collecting signatures and updating progress reports in Korea.
3. Mr. Rong Xueyan for his tremendous help in the Mainland China in explaining the campaign to the queries raised by fans in China. Thanks so much for his kind understanding of our difficulties.
