Local Musicians Encourage Hongkongers to Hang On
The Hong Kong Commercial Radio held the annual Ultimate Song Chart Awards Presentation on the first day of 2021 in the Kowloon Bay International Trade and Exhibition Centre.
Under the menace of the coronavirus pandemic, no audience was admitted to the venue, and the ceremony was broadcast live online.
The local band Rubber Band took home the Silver Group Award, and “My Favourite Group” Award for the second consecutive year.
One of the band's member Nai Mang expressed gratitude to HongKongers, and the goal of bringing hope through their music. “In the past year with COVID-19, we seemed to have lost a lot, and injustice is still happening under the pandemic. I believe that as creative workerd, we have the responsibility to give you hope, and tell you that now is yet the time for despair. HongKongers, hang on!”
The band vocal Luk Ho, during their performance of the song “Endless”, said that the piece was not just a song of encouragement, but also of company. “This song is a record of what everyone has been through during 2019-20. Even though tough times feel endless, we will always be with you.”
In another acceptance speech, he quoted lyrics from the song "All we have is now" which he co-wrote with another local singer Charmaine Fong: "Take a deep breath and keep going”, to encourage fellow HongKongers. “We must take a deep breath now. No matter how things will change in 2021, 2022... We will keep going.”

Denise Ho Sing On After Arrest and Thank Cantopop Diva Anita Mui: "Do what you should do in the limited time you have"
Pro-democracy Hong Kong Cantopop singer #DeniseHo (#HOCC) is among the 6 Stand News staff members and directors who were arrested by National Security Police on suspicion of "conspiring to publishing seditious publications."
After being released on bail on December 30, 2021, Ho carried on with her online concert "HOCC MINILIVE" on 2 January 2022, as scheduled.
At the end of the concert, Ho thanked her mentor and Cantopop legend, the late #AnitaMui, for mentoring her and taking her in as family. "Without her, I believe I wouldn't find the courage to stand up at this very important moment."
During her detention, Ho resorted to meditation and chanting scriptures to pass time. Later she started singing songs by fellow pro-democracy musicians Anita Mui and Anthony Wong. "As I sang, I realized the power of music," Ho recalled. "It goes beyond entertaining people; it offers healing and companionship."
Ho has been insistent at holding this concert. In a broken voice, she thanked her supporting staff; with only a brief exchange of glances, her crew members understood that she wanted to go ahead with this concert, "no matter if she would be here or not."
She also offered words of encouragement to herself and her supporters, "Do what you should do in the limited time you have," and "do well at what you do best."

Hong Kong Singers Respond to Difficult Times and Encourage #Hongkongers Not to Give Up Their Beliefs
In the annual Ultimate Song Chart Awards Presentation organized by Commercial Radio Hong Kong on January 1, 2022, several singers expressed words of encouragement to Hongkongers in their thank you speech, addressing the difficult times faced by the locals.
Vincy Chan whose song was named to one of the Top Ten in 2021, said on stage, "As long as we can cross over, there is a future. Uphold our beliefs, never give up -- we must hang on."
Stephanie Cheng, whose song titled "Drink more water" was named Top 4 in the 2021 music chart, expressed that the past year was a difficult one. She then said, "[we need to] be strong in order to overcome... It doesn't mean there is nothing one can do when in a fragile state. Take good care of ourself, then we will find hope. Hope everyone will not give up."
In response to the immigration wave out of Hong Kong, RubberBand, a local band, received the grand award for a song about farewell called "Ciao". While the drummer Ah Wai said the song is deidicated to all Hongkongers whenever they are, his fellow band member Lai Man added, "the truth will prevail." Ah Wai also expressed hope for reunion one day, despite having said goodbye. At last, vocal "no. 6" Mau Hou Cheong said, "We must live on, no matter you are staying in Hong Kong or you choose to leave. This song is dedicated to all Hongkongers. Thank you, Hongkongers. We are always Hongkongers."
At last, MC $OHO and KidNey, a two-men rapper group which was awarded the Silver Prize in the newcomer (band) catergory, said they need to thank the management of their agency. They continued, "because management is very important. There are so many problems in Hong Kong all because it is not well managed."

#DeniseHO and the slogan #JMGGJ on her T-shirt
Translated by Guardians of Hong Kong, September 20, 2021
According to schedule, Hong Kong singer Denise HO (#HoCC) should be holding her concert at the Wanchai Art Centre at 8pm on 12 Sep 2021, but it did not happen.
Eight days before the show, Art Centre cancelled her venue booking in writing citing “it might endanger public safety”. Roughly at the same time, three pro-China newspapers coincidently criticised HoCC and that “she is closely watched by law enforcement agencies”.
Without the venue, HoCC decided to hold her concert online.
