This song marks Leslie Cheung's farewell to the music scene in 1989. In addition to the melody personally composed by Leslie Cheung,lyricist Chan Siu-kei wrote from Leslie Cheung's perspective,expressing his views on the ups and downs of his ten-year career. There is also a hint of regret and a clear determination to leave. The lyric "A simple life in the future is also good" is more like Leslie Cheung's longing for his future life in Canada.

In the used vinyl record market,the value of 80s Hong Kong pop music vinyl often depends on its preservation state. As Leslie Cheung's farewell masterpiece,"When the Wind Rises Again" (included in the album "Final Encounter") has extremely high market demand.

Must-Read for Collectors: 1989 First Pressing vs. Reissue Identification Comparison
Leslie Cheung's "When the Wind Rises Again" vinyl collection has numerous versions on the market. For seasoned vinyl enthusiasts,the original 1989 pressing released by Cinepoly Records holds the most historical significance and appreciation potential. To help collectors better understand their rare editions,we have listed the key differences between the first pressing and recent reissues:
| Identification Item | 1989 First Pressing Features (Top Cashd Buyback Target) | Recent Reissue/Reprint Features |
| Matrix Number (Runout Groove) | Engraved inner groove numbers from early specific pressing plants (e.g.,T113 and other early font characteristics). | Matrix numbers are usually serial numbers from modern pressing plants,with more regular and modern fonts. |
| Cover Material and Printing | Paper has a slightly aged matte or semi-gloss finish,natural color,and rich layering in the dark areas of the figures. | Printing is often digitally restored,colors may be overly sharp or have too much contrast,and the paper quality is newer. |
| Included Accessories (Insert) | Originals usually include specific lyric sheets,concert flyers from that era,or limited edition posters. Paper has natural yellowing. | Accessories are mostly brand new reissues,paper is bright white,and some reissues may omit the original promotional flyers. |
