“My First of May” is the second collaboration between Hong Kong Film Award best actor, Aaron Kwok and best actress Paw Hee-ching, since they co-starred in “I'm Livin' It.” Gigi Leung takes on a breakthrough role as the mother who left home, and Natalie Hsu, the daughter of the renowned actress Pak On Nei (柏安妮), took on the role of a critically ill patient for the first time. Aaron revealed that he agreed to act in “My First of May” because he was moved by the script, and that the plotline brought tears to his heart. Aaron put himself into a state of depravity in preparation of the shooting to accurately portray a father who deliberately demonstrates irresponsibility to escape from his family. Aaron revealed that he has a love-hate-mother-and-son relationship with Paw Hee-ching in the movie, and Paw describes the movie's atmosphere as happy in the midst of sadness. Paw and Aaron have a great chemistry that grows the more they work together.
