Wong Ka Kui

Wong Ka Kui created hundreds of songs in his short life and was considered one of the iconic figures of Chinese rock music.

It was then that he became a big fan of David Bowie, Pink Floyd and John Lennon, and later helped popularize them in Hong Kong.

In 1988, Beyond signed Cinepoly's contract with proprietor Chan Siu Po (陳少寶) and made the album Secret Police (秘密警察) (1988).

The music and lyrics in the song "Glorious Years" (光輝歲月) was created during Wong's visit to New Guinea in 1990 and it is a tribute to former South-African president Nelson Mandela.

Wong's signature work "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" (海闊天空) won the Best Original Song award in Hong Kong.

The stage floor was very narrow and slippery, and both Wong and host Teruyoshi Uchimura slipped and fell 2.7 meters off the platform, live on air.

On June 26, several music fans of Beyond gathered at the carpark lot of the Commercial Radio Hong Kong Station to pray for him.

The next day, as doctors declared the case hopeless, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner arrived to treat Wong, who showed slight improvement afterwards.

[5] Six days later, on June 30, 1993, at 16:15 at the Tokyo Women's Medical University Hospital, a Japanese representative announced Wong's death in a press conference.

Wong's body was transported to Hong Kong on July 3, with hundreds of people awaiting its arrival at Kai Tak Airport.

In a vote conducted by Sina China in 2007, Wong was one of the Most Missed Celebrities along with Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui.

In December 2007, Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) released a documentary series called "A Legend Never Dies", featuring Roman Tam, Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung, Teresa Teng, Wong Ka Kui and Danny Chan.

The episode is entitled: Wong Ka Kui "The Spring Water of Hong Kong Music Industry."
