  • 《皇后大道東》是一首粵語歌曲,由羅大佑作曲、花比傲編曲、林夕填詞、羅大佑和蔣志光合唱,收錄於1991年的群星專輯《皇后大道東》。歌曲運用多個跟中华人民共和国、英国相關的象徵和隱喻,描繪了香港社會面對1997年主權移交的心態。 《皇后大道東》面世後不久便隨即被中國大陸列為禁歌,直至2000年香港局勢大致趨向穩定,《皇后大道東》才終於獲解禁。2019年6月19日,因香港發生反修例運動,再度被中國大陸列入禁歌名單當中。 羅大佑曾在1991年香港電台節目《鏗鏘集》上表示,音樂和政治一樣,都是表達自己不同的意見;「當大家都不敢表達自己,有一個人便會特別大聲,這個人就是專制者」。林夕也曾表示,1997年主權移交後,香港或許不會有這樣自由的創作環境能寫這些題材,所以他要先寫出來。 (zh)

  • "[Hong Kong people would] become the greatest of all comrades. [They] would truly get things done, have true constructiveness, truly use competition rather than struggle to get things done, and truly preserve Chinese tradition while incorporating with the best of West,... the best of their culture. With all these things, life will be better for everyone." (en)
