This songs marks the nervous and helpless feeling of Hong Kong people towards the handover. Although the officials are promoting the prosperity and ’50-year unchanged’, Hong Kong people do not believe in the cliché. Motifs such the coins with Queen Elizabeth and the palace (皇宮) are used to represent the colonial ruling and the Chinese government.

‘有個貴族朋友在硬幣背後

青春不變名字叫做皇后’

The coin with the Queen Elizabeth is used as the mark of colonial period in Hong Kong.  

‘知己一聲拜拜遠去這都市’

This lyric shows the wave of immigration.

‘照買照賣樓花處處有單位’

‘冷暖氣候同樣影響這都市’

‘夜夜電視螢幕繼續舊形象’

The Sino-British Joint Declaration claimed that Hong Kong would ‘remain unchanged’ in the coming 50 years after the turnover. However, this song indicates that Hong Kong people do not trust in the ‘guarantee’ of the Chinese government. On the surface, life may seem unchanged.

‘但是旺角可能要換換名字’

‘夜夜電視螢幕繼續舊形象’

‘到了那日同慶個個要鼓掌’

‘硬幣上那尊容變烈士銅像’

Yet, acts like changing of street names and the icons on coins indicate that the hegemonic ruling and ideologies of Chinese government are implemented in Hong Kong.
