Instead the boat ride was filmed as a miniature toy with Sam’s figure superimposed onto it. So the public is thankfully spared from the image of Sam Hui cramping himself into that tiny raft. The only problem was that the boats are only big enough for those whose age has yet reached double digit. The filming of 氹氹 轉 is a no-brainer, with its subject matter the boat ride in 荔園 comes as a second nature. For instance, part of 風中趕路人 was filmed in an empty MTR train.

Released in late 1983, it was also the year music video has officially arrived as the new outlet for pop music.

After achieving unprecedented success in Hong Kong music industry together in the 70s, Sam Hui parted way with Polydor amicably in 1983 and signed with a relatively new local label Contec Sound Media.
