Samuel "Sam" Hui Koon-kit (Chinese: è¨±å† å‚‘, September 6th, 1948–present) is a Singer-Songwriter and actor from Hong Kong.note In IPA, his Chinese name is pronounced /hɵɥ˨˥ kun˧ git̚˨/ in Cantonese.Born in Guangzhou, Guangdong, China in 1948, he and his parents arrived in Hong Kong as refugees in 1950. His music career began in the 1960s and he joined the record label Diamond Records in 1967. In the 1970s, Hui initially performed English songs that were popular in Britain and the United States, but eventually started performing Cantonese songs which he wrote as theme songs for the comedies produced by his brother, Michael Hui. Sam Hui's first Cantonese hit, "Eiffel Tower Above the Clouds" (é�µå¡”凌雲) — originally titled "Here and Now" (å°±æ¤æ¨¡æ¨£) — was first played on the Hui Brothers Show, a youth music TV programme he hosted with his brother, in April 1972.His first Cantonese album, Games Gamblers Play (鬼馬雙星), was the partial soundtrack to the Michael Hui-directed film of the same name. This album became popular, selling 200,000 copies, and was one of the major musical works that helped to start the popularity of Cantopop. His music gained popular appeal, particularly with the working class, for its simplicity and the relevance of the lyrics. A prolific songwriter, a noted recurring theme in his music is that it often describes or humorously satirizes Hong Kong society and events.In 1976, Sam Hui's singing and acting career took off after the release of the breakout album The Private Eyes, the soundtrack to the film of the same title, released the same year.Although he initially retired in the early 1990s, he came out of retirement in 2004, saying the deaths of fellow Cantopop stars Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui the year before influenced his return.In the present day, Sam Hui's reputation is still extremely relevant throughout Hong Kong, and his music and role in Cantopop has earned him nicknames such as "the God of Song" (æŒç¥ž) and "the Elvis Presley of Hong Kong".Note: Due to inconsistencies in translations, the Chinese titles of the songs are to be listed after the English translated title for clarity. | |

There's No Place Like Home | |
| Sam Hui (Music) / int_25e44fa8 | comment |
There's No Place Like Home: Many of Sam Hui's songs are about Hong Kong, his hometown. "Eiffel Tower Above the Clouds" (é�µå¡”凌雲) is a Homesickness Hymn about travelling around the world and seeing their various attractions — the Eiffel Tower, Mount Fuji, the Statue of Liberty, and the beaches of Honolulu — and the singer concluding nothing could compare to the "fishing lights on the horizon" back at home. It's apt that for his virtual concert in 2020, the song's title is translated as "Hong Kong Song". "Bauhinia" (æ´‹ç´«è�Š) sings the praises of Hong Kong (of its history and reputation), explicitly stating it to be the singer's home, and wishing its citizens would work together and continue to develop Hong Kong, to let it keep shining upon the world. "In the Same Boat" (å�ŒèˆŸå…±æ¿Ÿ, translated as "Hong Kong Boat" in the 2020 virtual concert) is about how Hong Kong is the singer's unwavering heart and home, and its people should unite and do their respective duty to their homeland so that it, as their boat, would stay warm and not sink. "Made in Hong Kong" (é¦™æ¸¯è£½é€ ) lists the things one can do while living in Hong Kong, concluding that "all good things [are] made in Hong Kong" while life in Australia, the US, and Canada means facing struggles that one wouldn't otherwise face in Hong Kong, and that the listeners should be proud of their hometown of Hong Kong. | |

Inconsistent Spelling: Depending on who you ask, it's either "Tsim Sha Tsui Susie" or "Tsim Sha Tsui Suzie". What doesn't help is that the "z" sound is conflated with the "s" in the Hong Kong accent, as Cantonese lacks a "z" sound. | |

Pun: In the chorus of "Bauhinia" (æ´‹ç´«è�Š), the last line of its first version — "滿眼盡是 好風光" can either translate to "Everywhere you see, [it's] great scenery", or "Everywhere you see, [it's a] great bustling scene", depending on how one interprets the last three words. Given the subject and theme of the song, both interpretations fit. | |

Wrong Side of the Tracks: "Wooden Squatter Huts" (木屋�) describes the life of a family living in the slums of the city, which, at the time, was made of wooden squatter huts. This includes dysfunctional families, poverty to the point parents worried about being unable to feed their children, and people choosing to turn to crime to escape poverty. The song presents it as a tragic reality of the time. | |

Foreshadowing: In "Wooden Squatter Huts" (木屋�), the Struggling Single Mother worries that her youngest son will not be taught how to be a good person at school, and that he would run in with the wrong crowd and be tempted into crime. As the song later reveals, this is exactly what happens, as her son never listened to her, made friends with some sleazy gamblers because he didn't want to stay poor forever, and dies in a police shootout while he was being taught by a friend to rob a bank. | |

Hard-Drinking Party Girl: The titular Susie in "Tsim Sha Tsui Susie" (尖沙咀Susie) is implied to be this, dressing in bright fashions, going to the disco all night long, and flirting and being intimate with hunks and car racers. In spite of being described as daring and open-minded, the singer wishes she wouldn't waste her time due to her young age, because if she continued this lifestyle, it would all be in vain once her good looks faded. | |

Asian and Nerdy: The song "Student" (å¸ç”Ÿå“¥) encourages students to work hard while they're still young and keep learning and improving themselves, lest they have future regrets. Among them, one of the pieces of advice given is that students focus more on their studies (and less on playing football and dating), lest they fail their school subjects — of which there are apparently more than ten. | |
