Abstract

This chapter emphasizes the social connotations and discursive formation of Cantopop and discusses Cantopop stars as cultural representatives of Hong Kong. In this article, the Daughters of Hong Kong perform and release albums that are connected to political situation of Hong Kong. The political participation of the two ‘daughters’, Anita Mui and Densie Ho, across 30 years of change are representative of intergenerational history and the difference and similarities in ideal and strategies that led to Hong Kong political situation. The differences between the political orientations of the two artists are compared with the narratives of the old and new ‘Lion Rock spirit, which exemplifies of the ethos of Hong Kong.
