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.

教我如何不想他 (1940)

作曲：趙元任
作詞：劉半農
主唱：斯義桂

天上飄著些微雲　地上吹著些微風　啊
微風吹動了我頭髮　教我如何不想他

月光戀愛著海洋　海洋戀愛著月光　啊
這般蜜也似的銀夜　教我如何不想他

水面落花慢慢流　水底魚兒慢慢游　啊
燕子你說些甚麼話　教我如何不想他

枯樹在冷風裡搖　野火在暮色中燒　啊
西天還有些兒殘霞　教我如何不想他
