In 1949, a whole group of multi-talented stars moved from Shanghai to Hong Kong. Mando pop rose to prominence, rivalling the presence of Canto opera music and Canto pop in a short period of time. The young Wong Jum-sum frequented radio stations and recording studios with his harmonica band members, in that process encountered in person many of these Mando pop stars and maestros, including illustrious names like Li Xian-lan, Bai Guang, Yao li and Yao Min. He also regularly collaborated with Filipino musicians who once illuminated the nightclubs of Shanghai.

These stars and musicians created a reservoir of Mando pop songs in the 1950s. The latter formed an inexhaustible treasure trove for radio music program presenters of the time.

故鄉 (1952)

作曲：侯湘（李厚襄）
作詞：張金
主唱：張伊雯、柔雲

張：朵朵白雲飛向我的故鄉，
　　青山重重，樵歌嘹亮，
　　看那東方鮮紅的朝霞，
　　歌唱我的故鄉。

柔：朵朵白雲飛向我的故鄉，
　　江上風波，漁舟蕩漾，
　　看那東方鮮紅的朝霞，
　　歌唱我的故鄉。

合：楊柳青青，風和日長，
　　燕子飛過短牆，百花齊放，
　　鳥語花香，蝴蝶翩翩四方。

合：朵朵白雲飛向我的故鄉，
　　田野蒼翠，一片麥浪，
　　看那東方鮮紅的朝霞，
　　歌唱我的故鄉。
