10th anniversary of the establishment of HKSAR !

The First Clip I'd like to share is of a concert organised by RTHK in 1990 to strengthen & unit HKers together after the lost of confidence amidst Jun 4th of 1989 and the uncertainty of Sino-British talks.

It was a rare occasion to have all the leading singers/stars on one stage together to sing the theme song

I think the title of the song is very suiting, since HK is known for its amazing symphony of lights, and in the clip u can see how much imagery of lights they have used, whether it was fireworks in victoria harbour, or at tsiang ma bridge, or the candle lights of 6-4 protests, 7-1 protests, HK is a focus of lights.Below are some images from the clip, Legco/MTR Opening/Martin Lee/SARS cleaning campaign/凝聚每分光 Concert/Kaitak airportDownload the Music

The creative genius of James Wong, put forward the 'two is enough' campaign in 1970s for HKers to be encouraged to only have two children, breaking the old chinese traditions of having large households.

Strong social campaigns were launched throughout this period:

國泰航空 Cathay Pacific's Commerical 1980s featuring theme song sung by local singer song writer George Lam 林子祥, it is my favourite by far of all Cathay's Commericals. It had a catchy cantonese 'catch-phrase', roughly translated to:"Focus on what lies infront of your eyes, the new classic, on Cathay! "in english, the slogan was "Arrive in Better Shape, on Cathay !

:: Lion Rock Spirit !!

** 獅子山下精神 **

獅子山下
曲：顧嘉輝
詞：黃沾
編：顧嘉輝

人生中有歡喜
難免亦常有淚我地大家
在獅子山下相遇上
總算是歡笑多於唏噓
人生不免崎

嶇難以絕無掛慮
既是同舟在獅子山下且共濟

拋棄區分 求共對
放開彼此心中矛盾

理想一起去追同舟人世相隨 無畏更無懼
同處海角天涯 攜手踏平崎嶇
我地大家用艱辛努力寫下那不朽香江名句


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


My Translation of the lyrics of The Lion Rock :

Happiness is a certainty in life,
though there are times of tears,
Ever since we met beneath this Lion Rock,
there are more smiles more than sighs.

There are unavoidable obstacles in life,
Though journeys are without their woes & worries,
let's make this journey together since we live beneath this Lion Rock,
cast away the divisive boundaries & row in accord.

Release the burden u carry in your heart,
and pursue the dreams that binds us
As Folks sharing the same boat,
all promising to follow, with no fear & without woe.

Setting afloat together at the corner of the globe,
towards the boundary of the sky,
we shall find common ground amidst adversities hand in hand,
Because together,
we are writing HK's success amongst hardship with our hard work
