Theme song "We Will Be Better" echoes 25th anniversary of HK's return to motherland
BEIJING, June 27, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

A music video for the theme song celebrating the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong 
Special Administrative Region (SAR)'s return to the motherland was released by 
China Media Group on Friday.

The theme song "We Will Be Better," composed by Hong Kong musician Keith Chan 
Siu-kei and Alan Cheung Ka-shing, fully displays the confidence and 
expectations of Hong Kong people with brisk melody and readable lyrics.

Inspired by the deepening integration between Hong Kong and the mainland over 
the past 25 years, Chan has used over 30 Chinese characters in the lyrics such 
as "sea", "river" and "bay", which share the same component, to highlight the 
regional characteristics of the Greater Bay Area. Meanwhile, warm images of 
"bridge", "shore" and "lighthouse" are used to depict the kinship between Hong 
Kong and the mainland.

The composition and arrangement of the song features a distinctive "Hong Kong 
style", combining the light rock popular with Hong Kong youth and traditional 
Chinese music that highlights traditional culture.

Cheung hopes to express his pride as a Chinese through his creation, and never 
forget his original aspiration in the tide of the development of the times and 
strive to move forward to the future with perseverance.

The music video records the work and life scenes of many Hong Kong compatriots, 
including Doo Hoi Kem, an Olympic bronze medalist, Janis Chan Pui-yee, the role 
model of "Touching China 2021", and Leung On-lee, a post-90s Hong Kong resident 
who started her poverty-alleviation career in southwest China's Guizhou 
Province in 2018.
