80's NOSTALGIA

The 80’s was the golden age for Cantonese songs in which artists, producers and various record companies work in harmony for local music. Meanwhile, Colleges in Taiwan also encouraged students to express their feelings through composing songs. Then a trend of Taiwanese college folk songs entered Hong Kong market. Nationalistic in nature, the lyrics exhibited nostalgia for the homeland and a longing to return to the mainland. Those mandarin songs inspired a wave of Cantonese imitations.
This trend lasted for about 2 years.


“The Brave Chinese” "勇敢的中國人 "
-being brave Chinese, our ardor revives the soul of China

-all Chinese have one mind to break through the darkness in spite of the sacrifices
