Also in Hong Kong, in early July of this year, there was a "Chinese-style pop song concert". All the singers in mainland China were among the best singers in mainland China, such as Mao Amin, Cai Guoqing, Tenger, Na Ying, Xie Xiaodong.

At this time, Hong Kong record companies were bothering about the piracy problem and the mainland record market. Due to rampant piracy, there was a ridiculous situation where genuine CDs were not launched, but piracy was launched on the market. Record companies have used various countermeasures to win customers with pirated discs. In November of this year, the mainland tightened cultural controls and prohibited Hong Kong and Taiwanese singers from going to the mainland to hold concerts at will. Although Jacky Cheung's concert in Shanghai had already sold tickets, he was also banned from performing.
Beyond released the album "Music and Anger" in Hong Kong this year. Wong Ka Kui's sentence during this year, "There is no music scene in Hong Kong, only the entertainment industry" expressed his dissatisfaction with the entire Hong Kong music scene, and was immediately criticized and boycotted by his peers.

Hong Kong artists who also passed away this year include Liang Sihan, Zhou Cong and Danny Chan. In addition, in Andy Lau's solo singing on February 13, a fan fell to death due to a dispute over souvenirs.
In mainland China, 1993 seemed to be a cherished idea. Someone later commented: "This year, the Chinese pop music scene was like a finger from heaven, which was exciting and shocking. In the situation without any signs, He Yong used "Bell and Drum Tower" to set off the inner fire of an ancient city, making people feel the soft heart of the city. Zhang Chu, who is also a rock-like person, gave people an epic heart tremor that he had never seen before on the northwest high slope. At the same time, songs such as "Brother, Are You, I Don't Want to Say" were rumored to be "Sister" in Guangzhou, a major southern city... "
Also in this year, an album called "China Big Rock" included songs from bands including "Breathing", "Black Panther", "1989", "Tang Dynasty", "Dream", "Cobra", etc., which aroused the anger of many bands due to copyright issues. In February, the "Top Ten Rock Bands" selection event led by China Social News and others was also collectively boycotted by the rock industry. "Chinese rock industry" is no longer an empty concept.
In 1993, the first rock school in mainland China held its opening ceremony. Cui Jian, He Yong, "Tang Dynasty" and "Black Panther" were invited to attend and speak. Soon, Beijing Music Channel launched the "Rock Magazine" program. The first rock clothing store in Beijing also opened this year;

Taiwan and Southeast Asia also have good leads in Hong Kong. Wu Qixian is almost at the four local kings, and Zhou Huajian and Su Huilun also have good market reactions in publishing Cantonese records.
Mainland singers also made a big move into Hong Kong this year. Those who signed contracts to develop in Hong Kong that year include Wang Zhenyan (Hongdou), Wang Pei, Sun Nan and others.
Many people have released records or songs to Hong Kong through record companies. The most eye-catching ones are He Yong, Zhang Chu and Dou Wei, who are highly praised by Rolling Stone Magic Rock. The "Rock and Roll Chinese Music Force" concert held by the Tang Dynasty band in Hong Kong Hong Kong this year became a classic for many years.
He Yong shouted during the performance: Hong Kong girls are beautiful! However, his most shocking remarks were indeed a few days before the performance. When the reporter asked He Yong what he thought of Hong Kong music, he said: "Hong Kong only has entertainment and no music. Except for Jacky Cheung, the four kings are still a singer, and the others are clowns. If you are not convinced, you can come out and compete."
As soon as this statement came out, the Hong Kong entertainment industry was in an uproar. Many fans of Dawn, Andy Lau and Aaron Kwok tore up the poster of Mo Yan's performance, forcing the performers to post it again. Before this performance, the three heroes of Mo Yan had already written their will. If anything unexpected happened, donate all the income from this performance to charity.
When the Three Heroes of Magic Rock were popular in Hong Kong, Luo Dayou returned to Taiwan from Hong Kong and released his first Taiwanese album "The Countryside". The album was even more popular than "Love's Comrade", but due to too many old works, many fans questioned the sincerity of Luo Dayou's creations.
Zhang Yu, who once published an album, wrote a strange song: at the beginning of the six lines, the main song is all the same melody. The song is called "Good Heart".
This year, Hong Kong singer Wang Jingwen sang a Mandarin work "I Will" famous with a famous name in Hong Kong. The most popular one was "I Will" written by Yao Qian and composed by Huang Guolun.

In August, some mainland musicians held a large-scale award ceremony for the Danon Night – a Chinese Song Rankings at the Capital Stadium. The concepts and titles of new music, such as spring, folk songs, black panther, Tang Dynasty, and platters, were filled with this passionate world as soon as they appeared.
Record companies are beginning to emerge, and stars appear one after another.
The "Glory and Dream" concert of Nanjing Wutai Mountain Gymnasium divided the pop music scenes of Guangzhou, Beijing and Shanghai. Zhang Chu and He Yong walked on the stage of Beijing's first sport on the night of Dannon.

The free and easy nature of "Love Bird", the directness of "Smiling Face", the traditional aesthetic of "Wishing You Peace" and the trend of "A Lian" all highlight the vivid creativity.
