Wan Kwong

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wan Kwong (Chinese: 尹光), born Lui Minkwong (呂明光), is a singer of Hong Kong, known as the "The Prince of Temple Street" by the locals.

An ethnic Chinese from Vietnam, Wan was trained as a Cantonese opera singer. Between the 1960s to 1980s, he switched to pop songs, whose lyrics, often in vulgar language, reflected the lives of the lower class in Hong Kong. Around the 1990s, he collaborated with other senior singers in Hong Kong, singing in pubs and on TV shows. He released an album called Ignoring Father (少理阿爸) in 2002 and still holds concerts occasionally.
