[Edit this paragraph] Lyrics

Before Samuel Hui, Cantonese songs were generally regarded by Hong Kong people as vulgar works, inferior to English songs and Mandarin songs. Until 197 1, Samuel Hui, a graduate of HKU, did not shy away from popularity, and wrote many songs in Cantonese to reflect the social situation, describe the helplessness of wage earners and talk about the mood of playing sparrows. Some are love songs, but more are satirical and inspirational works, which have been well received by fans since they were launched. Since then, Cantonese works have mushroomed in the Hong Kong music scene.

[Edit this paragraph] Music influence

1In the mid-1980s, Hong Kong idol singers rose. Although Samuel Hui made a new attempt in image and added rock elements to his songs, he was not favored by the new generation of fans and gradually faded out of the stage. 1992, when he officially announced his retirement, his record company released the Samuel Hui album, which was sung by singers who had already booked it at that time. The result was very popular, and album after album was released, which triggered the first nostalgia fever in Samuel Hui. Ten years later, Hong Kong experienced SARS, and after many important singers died in Hong Kong, Samuel Hui held a comeback concert, and100000 tickets were sold out overnight, which once again triggered Samuel Hui fever; The philosophy embodied in Samuel Hui's lyrics is widely discussed in cultural circles.

Samuel Hui has a very high position in Hong Kong pop music, and has been respected and recognized by many superstars, including Alan Tam, Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui, Jacky Cheung and others.
