So if you follow any sort of Chinese Music you are welcome here!

Ill start out with a popular Favourite

Being one of the few Chinese members of fakku (if not the only one) this topic is made for me
The songs that u guys said are all mandarin songs, I'm more familiar with Cantonese songs as I live in Hong Kong(the only few remaing places that still uses cantonese), don't under estimate Hong Kong! we got ALOT of talent! Jacky Chan ,Bruce Lee(RIP),Jet Li,Stephen Chow(King of Comedy), John Woo,and lots of other Asia wide famous singers
I will post the Chinese name of the song with the translation, and fuck the pinyin!(*sigh* I will try... Cantonese{9 tones} is harder than mandarin{4 tones})

there are alot more good songs... but these ones here are a bit old already... the newest being Justin's 30 days... the recent HK music is covered in shitty lyrics...

yea, i totally agree with that statement... Songs by those like Jacky Cheung are awesome! I'm Chinese but (sadly) don't know how to read... I speak Cantonese too and a wee bit of Mandarin xD

I only can't write chinese... can't even write my own damn name, that really sucks. i only studied chinese untill grade 2 in elementry then i got switched out to an international school, my mandarin is shit too. So I guess I failed pretty much as a Chinese

Haha i can relate! Ever since ive moved out of China my Cantonese and Mandarin have slowly gone down the drain. I can still understand it, but speaking it is a whole different story.

Anyways an old favorite Cantonese classic of mine.

I'm Chinese in blood but by blood only, went to a Chinese school but didn't even study so I can't understand Mandarin nor write. I understand a bit of Chinese, really a bit, cause my parents talk to me using Chinese but I reply to them with English...so I can't even speak Chinese...damn, really regretting on not studying Mandarin and Chinese.
