Mr. Gu was born in Guangzhou in 1933. He was originally from Wuxian County, Jiangsu Province (now Wuzhong District, Suzhou), and moved to Hong Kong in 1948. Brother Hui’s most well-known identity is of course writing songs and composing music, and is collectively known as the “Two Saints” with Huang Zhen . Today, Uncle Qing integrates some of Brother Hui’s classic works here to pay tribute to our music masters!

and other masterpieces were all from Gu Jiahui's hands.

In recent years, I often see such strange arguments: "The glory of Hong Kong and Taiwan music was relied on Japan", "Miyu Nakajima feeds half of the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene"... Although many works were covered from Japan in the past, I still want to say that the glory of Hong Kong and Taiwan music was really not relied on Japan. There are many great musicians in Hong Kong and Taiwan, such as today's protagonist Gu Jiahui. In fact, there are more than Gu Jiahui, the musicians of Hong Kong and Taiwan, and I will introduce other Hong Kong and Taiwan musicians in this way later.
