Yes, those were the days. Liem Swie King, Rudy Hartono, Han Jian, Luan Jin, Zhao JianHua, Yang Yang, Morten Frost, Svend Pri, Prakash Padukone. The epic first China-Indonesia battle on Singaporean soil after China's admission into the IBF where Luan Jin beat an aging Rudy Hartono and Han Jian shocked Liem Swie King.
And of course, arguably the 2 greatest players of the century that the world has never seen in international competition: Hou Jia Chang and Tang "The Thing" Hsien Hu. It is said that Rudy Hartono, 8-time All-England Champ would not win a set against Tang at his prime.
