In her final days, Anita held eight concerts at the Hong Kong Coliseum. She was also cast for Zhang Yi Mou's 2004 movie House of Flying Daggers and retired only two weeks before her death. The filming was already 80% completed when she died. Zhang didn't replace Anita's role with another actress. Instead the screenplay was changed and the leader of the "House of Flying Daggers" never appears in the movie as it was Anita's role. The film is dedicated in her memory.
