[Mending Years 縫補歲月] Elaine Wong recalls her Mom listening to Shirley Kwan's “A Solo Song” alone in the dark, and finds the same sentiment in a line sung by Cantonese opera diva Fong Yim-fun, “I've done nothing wrong, why am I suffering?” – which speaks of many grass-root females's mind in the 1970s. 黃淑賢的媽媽喜歡唱歌，偏偏聲帶出狀況，發不了高音。有一段日子，她經常獨個兒在漆黑的客廳坐在沙發上，播放着關淑怡的《一首獨唱的歌》，令她想起七十年代草根女性愛聽的芳艷芬的一段細訴：「今生我無做錯 何以何以累我受此折磨。」
