Talk:Queen's Road East (song)

Clarification needed
The "Composition" section says: Leung stated in 1991 that he believed there would be a "more restrictive creative environment" by 1997, so it was important to "write [the song] now...and hope that people still remember it in seven years [sic]".

I was curious about the sic, so I looked through the history and found that before this edit, the quote read: "write [the song] now...and hope that people still remember it [in seven years]".

Can Yeeno or another Chinese speaker confirm which version of the quote is accurate? Sojourner in the earth (talk) 21:48, 18 September 2022 (UTC)


 * @Sojourner in the earth: Looking back at the cited video, I think I misquoted him a bit. Leung actually says something like, "In seven years, there may be a more restrictive creative environment, so the song was written now. I especially hope that the people then will remember it, and make comparisons, using [the song] as a historical witness". (see 18:17 of this video, which is the full TV program) The [sic] was originally used to note that he incorrectly said that 1997 was seven years away when it was actually six, though I also realize now that he may have just been referring to the years after '97, so the [sic] isn't really necessary after all.
 * I'll make the edits to clear this quote up. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, and sorry for the confusion! Yee no   (talk) 23:26, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
