Virgin Snow is the ninth Cantonese-language studio album by Hong Kong singer Leslie Cheung. It was released by Cinepoly Records on 5 February 1988. The album is the second album that Cheung released after he joined Cinepoly Records in Hong Kong.[1]
Background and development[edit]
Cheung composed the song "Missing You" and performed it in his Final Encounter of the Legend concert series of 1989. "Hot" was performed by Cheung in his World Tour 97 concert series, with Shu Qi acting as the Hot girl in the song of the dance track. "Run to the Future Days" is the theme song of the film A Better Tomorrow II.
"Love in the Snow" is also part of the compilation in Cheung's 1989's album Salute, which is a dedication album by the singer to his fellow composers, singers and lyricists whom he has held in high esteem up to that time in his career.
