Faye Wong Making a Comeback in Confucius Biopic

Faye WongSpring came a bit early for fans of Chinese pop queen Faye Wong. Assumptions were she would break her 5-year hiatus at the upcoming China Central Television spring festival, but as many outlets are reporting, she is making a comeback with the theme song for director Hu Mei's biopic 'Confucius.'

Hu Mei considered Faye Wong's soothing, ethereal voice perfect for conveying the sublime and lofty spirit of the film, which stars Chow Yun-Fat ('Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon') and Zhou Xun ('The Message'). Entitled 'You Lan Cao,' Wong's new song uses only 64 Chinese characters and is adapted from ancient poet Han Yu's eulogy on orchids. It was made available on January 7 and can be heard at the film's Web site.
