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.

玫瑰玫瑰最嬌美　玫瑰玫瑰最艷麗
長夏開在枝頭上　玫瑰玫瑰我愛你
玫瑰玫瑰情意重　玫瑰玫瑰情意濃
長夏開在荊棘裡　玫瑰玫瑰我愛你

心的誓約　新的情意
聖潔的光輝照大地
心的誓約　新的情意
聖潔的光輝照大地

玫瑰玫瑰枝兒細　玫瑰玫瑰刺兒銳
傷了嫩枝和嬌蕊　玫瑰玫瑰我愛你

心的誓約　心的情意
聖潔的光輝照大地
心的誓約　心的情意
聖潔的光輝照大地

玫瑰玫瑰枝兒細　玫瑰玫瑰刺兒銳
今朝風雨來摧毀　傷了嫩枝和嬌蕊
玫瑰玫瑰心兒堅　玫瑰玫瑰刺兒尖
來日風雨來摧毀　毀不少並蒂連理
玫瑰玫瑰我愛你
