As far as I know he (the musician) was just a piano soloist that played some cafes in Shanghai. I have searched high and low for any recordings but to no avail. I have even come up empty handed in Shanghai and Beijing. :-(

But I will keep looking, its good stuff!

thank you. this is the song played near the end. dunno if it's the same version or singer in the movie. i'd have to look at the movie again.

the song played near the beginning is the one listed in the credits, in english as below.
'Shanghai Nights' / Adapted by, Wu Yiwen. From 'Flying Phoenix'.
apparently an adaptation of an old song by Zhou Xuan:

Do you know how this is spelled in chinese?
I just cant find anything when looking for 'Shanghai Nights' by Wu Yiwen or Flying Phoenix on google.
