何韻詩 DENISE HO HOCC Dear Friend 2016 at HK Coliseum 2CD 可能是史上最團結的紅館演唱會。 2016年，何韻詩回到最初歌手的身份， 重返紅館， 在同樣的舞台上建構一個不一樣的演唱會。 透過史無前例的「集體獨家贊助」，獲得近三百個中小企、社區小店及個體戶單位支持， 成就一個屬於集體的演唱會。 「『平凡的我，從來無一點傳奇』。是這時代，把平凡的我推到一個浪尖，看似肩負了許多人的盼望，但事實是，是你們承托了我對世界的想像。是你們告訴我，相信仁慈，相信善良，相信人，準沒有錯。在最困難之時，回歸本位，做好自己，就對了。」 ── 何韻詩 https://nemb.ly/p/Hyu6oOwPe Happily published via Nembol

I think you have to pay to see the actual stream (bit.ly/hoccshousononline), but you can see a behind the scenes video, with some rehearsal, interview, and post-concert chatter:

It was brutally hot on that stage, you can see the sweat pouring off of HOCC. 0_0

Hi! I just started learning Chinese, and I was wondering if you had any recs of artists/songs that are lgbtq/non-heteronormative themed?

Also thanks for posting ✨, love your blog

Hi there, thank you for getting in touch!  =D

Because I don’t read/understand Chinese, I never know if a song’s lyrical content has those kinds of themes (unless someone tells me / or I read about it), but I can recommend some artists:

Guitarist 芮秋 Rachel Hsu from P!SCO is transgender, and the band is definitely supportive of lgbtq issues.  Rachel has been very open about her experience.  

LEZS女人國 Magazine (www.lezsmeeting.com) frequently interviews/profiles musicians, (including Rachel Hsu HERE), but they don’t only feature lesbians in the magazine.

Singer-songwriter-bandleader Enno Cheng 鄭宜農 came out as lesbian in early 2016, and was featured in LEZS issue 21 later that year.   Video promo HERE.

Denise Ho / HOCC 何韻詩 is a Cantopop / indie star from Hong Kong, and a lesbian icon. 

HK indie singer-songwriter Ellen Joyce Loo 盧凱彤 came out as lesbian in 2017. She was profiled in LEZS in spring of 2018; tragically, she committed suicide later that year.  (She had gone public about her bipolar disorder)

HUSH aka Hush Chen (陳家偉) is the only male TW singer-songwriter that I know is gay.  

Let’s hear an Enno Cheng song from 2017 that featured a guest vocal by Ellen Loo, this is so sad and beautiful: 

Arranged by Cincin Lee 李欣芸

The news from HK gets more grim by the day, but here is a bright spot.

She’s been doing regular conversation/streams on her channel, but here is a casual live set she did to celebrate her birthday back in May:

The musicians are wearing masks, but I spot her brother Harris Ho 何秉舜 on piano, and Soni Cheng (GDJYB 雞蛋蒸肉餅) on guitar.

Please pray for Hong Kong, the news is getting worse by the day.

National security law: Hong Kong media mogul Jimmy Lai, activist Agnes Chow among those arrested as police spend nearly nine hours searching Apple Daily offices.

周庭 Agnes Chow Ting

周庭 Agnes Chow Ting:

【有關周庭被捕資訊更新：罪名更正、住戶指曾有人裝紅外線攝影機】

【周庭氏が逮���された件について】 【Updates on the arrest of Agnes Chow 】

今晚（8月10日）晚上約9時，十多名警員突然到達周庭住所，以《國安法》下的「勾結外國或境外勢力危害國家安全罪」罪名，將周庭拘捕。警方指他們相信周庭從今年7月至今，曾透過社交媒體請求外國對中華人民共和國實施制裁和敵對行動。

《國安法》於今年6月實施，是中共政權為進一步限縮各種人權，所強行設立的法律。今日除周庭以外，更有另外9名香港人被以《國安法》拘捕，當中包括本地傳媒機構創辦人、報紙編輯及外媒記者，足證《國安法》對香港言論自由、新聞自由的嚴重影響。

在過去一個月，周庭已屢次遭不明人士跟蹤、在家門外監視，甚至有鄰近周庭住所人士向我們透露，近日有人在周庭居所外安裝紅外線鏡頭，而該器材在剛才周庭被捕後，已被不明人士拆除。

不論上述滋擾是否與拘捕有關，香港的自由已受到嚴重威脅。現時周庭仍然身處警署內，未知是否能夠保釋，請大家繼續關注周庭、關注香港。

—————- 今日(8月10日)夜9時ごろ、十名以上の警察は突然周庭氏の住所に着き、国安法の「外国または域外勢力の結託による国家安全危害罪」で周氏を逮捕した。警察によると、周氏は今年7月から、SNSを通じて外国に対して中華人民共和国への制裁や、敵対行為を呼びかける疑いが持たれている。

国安法は今年6月で実施した中国共産党政権がさらに人の自由を抑えるため乱暴で設立した非道な法律である。今日は周氏を除き、すでに9名の香港人は国安法で逮捕された。その中にローカル新聞の創設者、新聞編集長および外国記者がいた。国安法が香港の言論の自由や取材の自由への厳重な影響は一目瞭然である。

この1ヶ月間、周氏が正体不明なモノにつきまとわれたことが相継ぎ、それだけでなく、周氏の住所の付近に見張ったのだ。近所の人によりますと、近々周氏の居場所の近くに赤外線カメラが設置され、その器材はさきほど周氏が逮捕されたあとに外されたという。

このような行為は逮捕と繋がっているか先におき、香港の自由もはや脅かされたことになった。現時点では周氏は警察庁におるものの、保釈できる可能性は不明です。皆さん、どうか周庭氏、香港を引き続きご関心ください。

—————- Dozens of Hong Kong police arrived at Agnes Chow’s residence at 2100 last night and arrested her on the charge of “colluding with foreign forces” under the National Security Law. According to the police, Agnes was accused of calling upon foreign countries to impose sanctions on China on her social media accounts since the enactment of the law.

Over the past month, Agnes has been tailed by unknown agents, with her home under massive surveillance. As one of her neighbours reveals, an infrared surveillance camera was installed right next to her doorsteps for weeks. Only after her arrest, the camera was removed.

Amid this harassment and arrest, the city’s liberty is now under the deadliest blow. When Agnes is now detained at the police station, with a slim chance of bail, we hope the world can stand with Agnes, stand with Hong Kong.

Denise Ho / HOCC 何韻詩 did a 2-hour live stream earlier on Saturday.  =D

I just started watching, looks like it’s just Denise singing / playing guitar, and her brother Harris Ho 何秉舜 (aka Hobing) at the piano.   Denise chatting/greeting the streaming comments.    I  must say, HOCC is in very fine voice!  =D

I think this is most/all in Cantonese, that’s what it sounds like to me.  (other than a few words here and there in English)

You might have to watch this at YT, but here’s the set list:

1.豔光四射 (2:49) 2.癡情司 (11:23) 3.天使藍 (19:26) 4.鋼鐵是這樣煉成的 (27:45) 5.詩與胡說 (36:24) 6.未來 (42:12) 7.張氏情歌 (49:14) 8.木紋 (59:37) 9.如果我們只剩一首歌的時間 (1:04:49) 10.忘 (1:15:13) 11.天然沖晒（1:21:41) 12.眼淚教我的事 (1:27:01) 13.螞蟻 (1:31:55) 14.如無意外 (1:35:42) 15.似是故人來 (1:43:42) 16.海裡睡人 (1:47:58) 17.圓滿 (1:55:47) 18.是有種人 (2:03:07)

[fyeahcindie]

*shaking head in dismay*

Shelley Shan also has a write up over at The Taipei Times.

And HOCC stayed a lot calmer about this than I would have:

Denise Ho (HOCC)@hoccgoomusic·18h

“I have just been attacked with red paint by a person who was identified as a pro-beijing camp member. Arrived in Taipei to participate in the #929GlobalAntiTotalitarianism protest. This is a serious attack to free speech and we shall not back down in face of these threats.”

By the way, don’t read the comments over at the South China Morning Post link, it will make your blood boil.  =(

[fyeahcindie]

If you are a westerner interested in knowing how severe and ugly the situation in Hong Kong has become, Denise Ho is tweeting in English and sharing lots of English content. Many of the photos and clips are graphic/disturbing, so be warned. She’s also consistently interviewed in English/Western media. Here’s a piece from yesterday on BuzzFeedNews: This Hong Kong Pop Star Told Protesters To Stay Strong Against Chinese Scare Tactics The English language South China Morning Post is constantly updating: https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/politics/article/3022668/riot-police-protesters-clash-unprecedented-violence-hong HOCC 何韻詩 (fb) Of course, there are MANY other HK-based twitter accounts you can explore, including 周庭 Agnes Chow Ting, she posts in Chinese. Joshua Wong 黃之鋒 is one of the most prominent activists, and he tweets mostly in English. Joshua & Agnes are 2 of the founders of Demosistō 香港眾志 (twitter) From Wikipedia: “Demosistō is a pro-democracy organisation advocating self-determination for Hong Kong initially established on 10 April 2016 as a political party.”

Hong Kong Free Press is another English language account for HK/China news.

UPDATE: I don’t know if it’s just me, but Twitter won’t work if I click on a Twitter link from another browser window (I get the message: “Something went wrong.”), but if I paste the link into a new window, it works.

UPDATE: If you are following the news you know that the HK airport is closing intermittently because of the protest; the duo Deer Mx are trying to get out of town and go play some dates in their home country of Mexico. Well, I was wondering about bands that had dates scheduled in HK being able to arrive on time, but leaving on time is also an issue!

[fyeahcindie]

More western coverage of HOCC and other HK artists.

(I tried to add this to the previous post but tumblr won’t let me edit a mobile app post on the desktop)

And this CNN interview was from a few weeks ago, Denise shared it on her Goomusic YT channel:

[fyeahcindie]

Long-form feature/interview by Jiayang Fan for The New Yorker magazine that I found very interesting, and maybe you will too!  =D
