Bowie Cheung spoke with Oriental Daily News and when asked if she was satisfied with Benjamin Yuen’s proposal, she said, “I really didn’t rehearse this scene in my mind, but when it really happened at the time, I couldn’t control it, including my reaction and emotions. I didn’t know what to do, but to me, this arrangement was really, really, really good. It was just the two of us, in our own world, without any outside pressure, not pretentious. Also, there was no planning. When he got up for his morning run, he naturally did that thing. The weather was really nice that day. The environment was very comfortable. It’s like nature was our witness.”
