He is the heart and soul of Beyond. The only remaining original member. He is always concerned about the band as a whole and would do anything to keep the band together. When Beyond first started out and didn't have a place to practice, Sai Wing lied to his father and said he was getting married and that he needed an apartment in their building (his parents still don't understand what happened to that marriage)...that apartment became their "2nd Floor, Rear Block", the apartment where they would practice music all day and where they still practice today.
Here are some of his famous quotes...
"I really hope that the Hong Kong music scene can let rock music survive. That means that I wish rock music has a market in Hong Kong.
"I remember when I was younger, I insisted that those who love rock 'n' roll will have a very difficult time finding good friends. At that time, I thought that those who don't know rock 'n' roll cannot be communicated with...
"Aside from that, I also hope that the Hong Kong music scene will no longer have cover versions or even straight out copies - Beyond really hope to actively pursue this, to change this strange music trend...
"I believe in training the next generation. New bands emerging is very important. I believe that in contemporary music, bands are more important than singers. Bands represent a kind of creative spirit; without band, there won't be creativeness, and no music of your own.
"I've always believed that rock 'n' roll does exist in the music scene, but only a handful of people will really pursue it in public. Because of that, I really hope that there will be other rock 'n' roll bands that will emerge and continue to rock with Beyond"
