Hey!

Happy New Year and I hope you are having a great start to 2026. I thought it would be nice to talk about New Year's resolutions and plan and whatnot so you can learn some cantonese and we have a little life update :)

Hey!

As we are now in December, I want to do a quick episode on how we celebrate in Hong Kong. This is also inspired by my Grandma because we had a funny argument over Advent calendar (I will tell the story in the next HK Dispatch episode). I even wrote a story about it haha. 

I also want to say the free episode updates might be paused for a bit this month because of busy work life and other stuff. I also need to ensure I keep producing HK Dispatch for those who are interested so...yeah, was a difficult decision :/

Hello folks, 

Here is the Spotify playlist to my favourite canto pop songs. They are mainly the recently trending ones, and of course heavily influenced by my personal taste. Enjoy!

Hey people,

I've been debating to talk about the fire in this week's episode but my feelings to voice out got the better of me. It's surely a hugely traumatic event for Hongkongers, especially the victims, residents and frontline staff. This episode is about providing you with a first-hand perspective and perhaps what you can do to help.

Hellooo, 

I always find music to be an integral part of culture, so I picked the cantonese songs that I consider culturally significant to introduce to you so that you can have an easier time to understand when they are being referenced. 

List of singers: 

Leslie Cheung

Anita Mui

Beyond

Jacky Cheung

Faye Wong

Faye Wong's daughter (竇靖童 Leah Dou)

Eason Chan

Hey people, 

Last episode on Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung was super well-received so I thought I'd do another episode to introduce some famous HK people to you. This time we look at pop stars Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui and their beautiful sibling-like bond, and the end of a glorious era of HK pop culture.
