Mandarin Pop Music
Wong Jum-sum has a special affinity with Mandarin pop. When young, he followed teacher Leung Yat-chiu into studios and radio stations, meeting many maestros of Mandopop along the way, savouring a fountain of inspiration for his subsequent ventures in popular music. When old, Wong wrote a doctoral thesis on the rise and decline of popular music in Hong Kong, inevitably beginning the story with Mandopop. He interviewed a number of old maestros, revisited his musical starting point, eventually writing up a most brilliant chapter on that unique ‘fragrance of the evening air’ we call Mandopop.
