Days of Being Wild also marks the first collaboration between Wong and cinematographer Christopher Doyle, with whom he has since made eight films.

Yuddy

• I've heard that there's a kind of bird without legs that can only fly and fly, and sleep in the wind when it is tired. The bird only lands once in its life... that's when it dies.
• I used to think there was a kind of bird that, once born, would keep flying until death. The fact is that the bird hasn't gone anywhere. It was dead from the beginning.

Su Li-zhen

• I always thought one minute flies by. But sometimes it really lingers on. Once, a person pointed at his watch and said to me, that because of that minute, he'd always remember me. It was so charming listening to that. But now I look at my watch and tell myself that I have to forget this man starting this very minute.

Tide

• Don't compare yourself with others, I didn't know I was poor before, 'till I found out I didn't have a new uniform every year, but all my classmates had.

Dialogues

Yuddy: What day's today?

Su Li-zhen: 16th.

Yuddy: 16th... April the 16th. At one minute before 3pm on April the 16th, 1960, you're together with me. Because of you, I'll remember that one minute. From now on, we're friends for one minute. This is a fact, you can't deny. It's done.

Yuddy: Hey, have you heard of a kind of bird...

Tide: The kind without legs, right? This kind of nonsense can only fool the girls!

Leung Fung-ying: When did I say I'd come home with you?

Yuddy: You never said you wouldn't.

Lyrics

    HELLO HOW ARE YOU　我好想再見你一面
    HELLO WHERE ARE YOU　能不能回到我身邊

  ＊親愛的你是否感覺到
    遠方有人為你在祈禱
    寂寞是我找你的訊號
    想你是我僅有的嗜好
    你的甜蜜話　猶在唇口
    我的纏綿火　依稀在懷中
    早已經學會　別要求太多
    只要夢見你　我就快樂

    HELLO HOW ARE YOU　我好想再見你一面
    HELLO WHERE ARE YOU　能不能回到我身邊
    那些沒有你的日子裡　有多難你知不知道
    那些沒有我的日子裡　你究竟過得好不好
    你究竟過得好不好
    HELLO HOW ARE YOU

    重唱　＊

    HELLO HOW ARE YOU　我好想再見你一面
    HELLO WHERE ARE YOU　能不能回到我身邊
    那些沒有我的日子裡　你究竟過得好不好
    你究竟過得好不好
    HELLO HOW ARE YOU

    HELLO HOW ARE YOU　我好想再見你一面
    HELLO WHERE ARE YOU　
    能不能回到我身邊　HELLO

    HELLO HOW ARE YOU　我好想再見你一面
    HELLO WHERE ARE YOU　
    能不能回到我身邊　HELLO
    你究竟過得好不好
    HELLO HOW ARE YOU
