Ann Hui On Wa received in a television interview revealed that for awhile she and Wong Jing were at odds.  When Hui On Wa made SONG OF EXILE (HAT TOH CHAU HUNG), Wong Jing said, "Who would love to watch the story of a fat, old woman?" and made her very angry.  She said, "At the time the outside was fanning the flame, many hoped to see us fight.  When I was asked to respond I said, 'Wong Jing's filmmaking
attitude is improper'.  Then the headline was 'War Begins, Hui On Wa Announces She Wants To Beat Wong Jing'."

Hui On Wa later due to a Wong Jing interview in which he said the Hong Kong directors who he admired the most were Hui on Wa and John Woo (Ng Yu Sum), which made her feel sorry and she did not say anything more.  Over a year ago, Hui On Wa was looking for funding for her film THOSE ARE THE DAYS (TIN SHUI WAI DIK YUT YU YEH).  After Wong Jing read it he immediately responded, which surprised and pleased her.
