The Anita Mui version of "A Thousand Que Songs" is called "Song of the Setting Sun".
Title: Song of the Setting Sun
Sung by: Anita Mui
Lyrics: Shaoqi Chen
Music: Yasuji Makaino
Slanting Sun Infinite
Not helping but to be brilliant only for a single breath
With the clouds of haze dispersing
Passing luster not to be regained
Later Years
Hard to endure this life's
Like clouds gathering and dispersing
Tangled up in the vicissitudes of this tired face
Long road
Suddenly I feel that the time has receded
Happiness is always short-lived and never comes back
Which one of them can see through the blandness of my dream
Have encountered a few storms and rains
That have weaved me into intertwined dreams
Have encountered the bend of your true heart
To accompany me on the path of my life
Company me through the difficulties
Running around the center of the ash
The road disturbances and twists and turns and then another bend
One day I thought of returning but it was already late
Expanded Information

Background
"Song of the Setting Sun" is a Hong Kong classic Cantonese song sung by Anita Mui in the 1980s. The original song is "タ烧けの歌" by Japanese superstar Kondo Masahiko (近藤真彦), which has been covered by Hong Kong and Taiwan singers several times, with both Cantonese and Mandarin versions.
The more famous versions are "A Thousand Que Songs" by Ms. Amy Chan, "Promise in the Wind" by Yijun Li, and Anita Mui's version of the song "Song of the Setting Sun". It is the theme song of the movie "Heroic 3 - Song of the Setting Sun", composed by Makaino Yasuji and lyrics by Chen Shaoqi.
It was a huge hit upon release. Since the tune was the same and released at a similar time, Song of the Setting Sun was released on August 23, 1989, about a month after Song of a Thousand Queens was released on July 20, 1989, so it competed fiercely with Vivienne Chan's performance of the Cantonese classic Song of a Thousand Queens.
At the year-end awards ceremony, the two songs were both included in the Top 10 Chinese Gold Songs and Top 10 Powerful Songs. Although the album "In Brasil" (the album on which "Song of the Setting Sun" is based) was inferior to Vivienne Chan's "Forever Your Friend" (the album on which "A Thousand Queer Songs" is based) in terms of sales, the Golden Melody Gold Award at the end-of-the-year TVB Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs Awards ceremony still went to "Song of the Setting Sun".
In 2003, Anita Mui, knowing that she was suffering from terminal cervical cancer, performed eight concerts of Anita Mui's classic songs at the Hong Kong Coliseum in Hung Hom, Hong Kong, and said goodbye to the audience at the end of the last concert after she donned a beige wedding gown designed by Mr. Lau Pui Kei and sang the "Song of the Setting Sun".
Andy Mui once said "Song of the Setting Sun" was a reflection of her life. (Anita Mui's last song on stage should be "Cherish When We Meet Again", the last concert Anita Mui and friends sang "Song of the Setting Sun" after the fans' enthusiasm was not diminished, and once again the encore.
