In his address, he spoke about Chinese music, and the emergence of world pop and related his own journey and experiences over the years to where he is now.
(I hope some kind soul would have recorded and then post the speech up!)(or LH, please share the transcript with us!)
He also shared with the audience a list of ten songs that introduce its listeners to Chinese pop music from the past four decades, sampling artists such as Teresa Teng, Faye Wong, A-mei, Jay Chou, David Tao, etc. You can listen to the all the songs HERE.
I think it's a very well selected and balanced mix (I bet it wasn't easy doing the shortlisting!).. This really shows his passion for Chinese music. And I'm delighted that he plugged Khalil Fong's song--that album is brilliant.
p/s: I nicked this photo from his website. Absolutely love it!
