In the 50-year history of Hong Kong music, there are always some talented singers who, at different times, have worked silently behind the superstars and contributed their talents to the "hundred schools of thought" in the history of Hong Kong music. Mr. William So, who held his solo concert at the Lingnan Pearl Gymnasium (Training Hall) in Foshan, is one of them who deserves special mention. 
Mr. So Wing-kang, who officially stepped onto the "Hong Kong Music" stage as the runner-up of the 4th Hong Kong New Talent Singing Contest in 1985, had an unsatisfactory career path as a singer. After waiting for four years, he finally met his first "mentor" behind the scenes in 1989. Mr. Lin Mude, a master of "Hong Kong Music" composers, "dedicated" music to him and released Mr. So Wing-kang's first album "Insomnia" in his singing career. With this album, he won the first award in his singing career in the second year, the "Most Promising Newcomer Award (Bronze Award)" in the 12th Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs in 1990, thus officially starting his professional singing career. Although it seems that he started a little later than the singers of the same class, he made great progress due to his four years of accumulation. During the five years from 1989 to 1994, Mr. So Wing-kang completed five albums, two EPs and one selected album, delivering a relatively complete and satisfactory answer sheet in the first Cantonese song era of his "Hong Kong Music" career. The emergence of Mr. Huang Shangwei, another "Hong Kong Music" composer who played an important role in Mr. So Wing-kang's singing career, foreshadowed his subsequent peak in the music industry. 
Since 1995, Mr. Su Yongkang has started to develop in both the Mandarin and Cantonese music scene, especially in the Mandarin music scene. With the album "Men Should Not Make Women Cry", he became popular in the Mandarin music market including Taiwan and the mainland, and stepped out of Hong Kong in one fell swoop, becoming a well-known singer in the Chinese region. Later, he became one of the best "men's voice" spokespersons in the Chinese region with a number of Mandarin lyrical classics such as "Old Love is Still the Most Beautiful", "Let Those Who Understand You Love You", "If This Is the Best Distance for Me to Love You", and "Love is Like a Frenzy". His emotional and fully devoted performance can make people who listen to it in the dead of night have thousands of thoughts and tears in their hearts. 
With Mr. Su Yongkang's solid progress in both the Mandarin and Cantonese music scenes, he finally waited for his first representative work in the history of "Hong Kong Music" in 1998, which was "The More I Kiss, the Sadder I Get" composed by his good friend Mr. Wu Guojing. The story behind "The More You Kiss, the More You Sad" is a typical story of "good people get good rewards". When Mr. Wu Guojing wrote "The More You Kiss, the More You Sad", no one in the circle cared about it. It was not until Mr. Su Yongkang "helped" that the song "The More You Kiss, the More You Sad" was not buried, which later became one of the "hottest singles" in the history of "Hong Kong music". The two good friends who cherished each other also achieved mutual success, making the success of "The More You Kiss, the More You Sad" even more precious. 
With the success of "The More You Kiss, the More You Sad" in 1998 as a new starting point, Mr. Su Yongkang gradually became an artist with comprehensive development of "film and television songs". Through the performance of professional roles in "No. 1 Imperial Court" and "Heart of Greed" before and after 1998, we remember a "diverse" Su Yongkang, not just a singer with strength. 
After the millennium, with the passing of the golden age of "Hong Kong music", there are only a handful of singers who can still carry the banner of "Hong Kong music" outside the "Greater Bay Area". But in this list of few singers, there is also the name of Mr. So Wing-kang, especially in 2011, his song "That Someone", written by his good friend Wyman Wong, with one of the lines "Your tears are like a green rust, stubbornly planted in the corner of your eyes, until forever, can't be wiped away", has become another representative work of Mr. So Wing-kang in the "Hong Kong music" music scene, recorded in the classic playlist of "Hong Kong music". In 2010, he and his friends Andy Hui, Edmond Leung, and Dicky Cheung formed the "BIG 4", which also showed that Mr. So Wing-kang has been working silently to revive the past glory of "Hong Kong music". 
In the Chinese music scene, Mr. So Yongkang is not only a powerful singer, but also has many excellent works in the field of duets. In addition to the first Cantonese duet masterpiece "Never Like to Be Alone" released in 1994 with Pang Jiali, followed by "It's Really Not Easy to Be Together" with Tang Baoru, "The Night Is Long" with Kit Chan, "You Still Have Not Ended" with Li Caihua, until the duet classic "So Yongkang's Dressing Room" released in 1999, all of which show his duet strength, and those that can be preserved have become duet classics that men and women often sing in the KTV era. 
Finally, one point in particular should be mentioned. As a representative of the strength of male voices in "Hong Kong Music", William So has also made great efforts in jazzifying and HI-FIizing "Hong Kong Music". His preference for jazz music can be seen from the fact that he named his son "Jazz Su". His "SOUL JAZZ" released in 2000 and "LOVE FROM THE LAST CENTURY" released in 2017 further embodied his reputation as "Jazz Su" and "HI-FI Su". It can be seen that Mr. William So is an eyewitness who silently inherited the diversity of "Hong Kong Music", and he deserves another thumbs up here. 
With the concert of Mr. William So at Lingnan Pearl Gymnasium (Training Hall) in Foshan on January 4 approaching, after summarizing the above, we should be looking forward to this concert even more. I believe that whether it is his personal works or duet works, whether it is love songs that express men's inner voices, or improvisations that are "jazzized" or "HI-FIized", they are all worth looking forward to. After all, it is very exciting to be able to listen to such a "immersive" live performance.There are not many opportunities for a super talented male singer who has been working silently in the Chinese music scene for 35 years to sing the whole show. At least I have been waiting for him for 35 years in Beijing. I must cherish this time. On January 4, let us sing with "Kang" at the Lingnan Pearl Gymnasium (Training Hall) in Foshan and reminisce the classics of "Hong Kong Music".

There are many scenic spots, and the performances across the street are good-looking and the ancient street environment is first-class. It is a fun place suitable for families to go.

It was a great family outing experience! The park is very large and very convenient to play. The children had a lot of fun here. They saw many animals that they could only see on TV. They interacted with them closely and learned a lot. The amusement facilities are also very safe, so we parents can let our children play without worry. The sanitation of the park is also very good, and it is clean everywhere.
