Greetings Lammonians!

I lived on Lamma island and in HK for an all-too-short eight years; some of you Old Lamma Hands will probably remember me from the days of the infamous Corner Bar.

In the summer of 1989, following the Tiananmen "Incident," there was a song that became very popular in Hong Kong. It was in Mandarin, a woman's voice, very melodic, and the word was that it was from some mainland movie that was popular at the time. Somehow the words of the song became very moving to Hong Kong people in the wake of the massacre and it was on the radio a lot.

I never knew the name of the song (if there was one) in English, and I can't remember the Chinese or the artist's name or the name of the movie -- if I ever knew them. I am trying to track it down now to use it as the sound track for a film I doing for a class I am taking. (I have a lot of old Super 8 footage from that time period that I am having converted to digital format.)

If ANYONE can help me by providing any clues, links anything, it would be a big help. I am hoping that some Hong Kong musician might remember such trivia, and where better to find one than Lamma Island.

I miss you all. Even the ferry.

But unfortunately, I can't remember who recorded the version Deborah mentioned specifically.
