Summary

Katy, co-host of Hong Kongology, presents a selection of Cantonese, Mandarin, and Hokkien pop music in celebration of the Moon Festival. The Moon Festival takes place every Lunar August 15th (mid-September in the Solar Calendar) where the Autumn full moon of the year rises, and it is widely celebrated across Asia. The tracks Katy has selected are loved by her and her family; they remind her of childhood, home, the passing of time, distanced connection, and reunion. 月亮代表我的心 （The Moon Represents My Heart) / Teresa Teng / 3‘25但願人長久 （Wish We Last Long) / Teresa Teng / 4’12月球上的人 （The Man on the Moon) / Eason Chan / 3’44月球下的人 (The Man under the Moon) / Gin Lee / 4‘49暗淡的月 （Dim Moon) / Jeannie Hiseh / 3’48西湖沒有中秋 （There’s No Mid-Autumn in Xihu) / My Little Airport / 2.07月亮    (The Moon) / Pricilla Chan / 4’44月半小夜曲  （The Midnight Song) / Hacken Lee / 4’56月亮說    (The Moon Speaks) / Ivana Wong / 3’59
