Recalling a meeting with Mui in 2003, Kong (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Lust, Caution) said the beloved Hong Kong icon hoped to make a film that could leave a legacy for future generations. "Director Zhang Yimou and I then designed a role for her in House of Flying Daggers (2004). But we could not make her dream come true because she passed," Kong said in a statement.
