Hong Kong's "evergreen" singer Gigi Leung has released a new song, "Long Distance," which subtly celebrates her 14-year marriage to Spanish husband Sergio. The track, released by Gmajor Limited, explores themes of love and human connection across distances, aiming to comfort those missing loved ones.

Leung revealed that the song's opening features a phone dialing sound, and its conclusion includes a soft Spanish greeting, "Hola." She explained that this was a special touch for her husband, with whom she collaborated on the ending.

"Those familiar with me should know the meaning of this arrangement," Leung said, referring to the Spanish phrase. "The producer wanted an answering call to echo me at the end, so I specially invited my husband to lend his voice."

The couple, married for nearly 14 years, frequently navigates different cities due to their careers, making them intimately familiar with the pangs of separation. Leung shared that she regularly video calls her family after work, discussing their daily lives and offering mutual encouragement.

When asked about sustaining a long-distance relationship, Leung stressed that distance is secondary to mutual trust and consistent effort. "The most important thing is mutual trust, caring for each other at all times, and looking after each other's feelings," she stated.
