Lai Siu-tin

Lai Siu-tin's heyday was the 1970s and 1980s when the Hong Kong music scene grew from its infancy to its glory. He has faded out of the entertainment industry more than ten years ago.

But in fact, Lai Siu-tin's status in the Hong Kong music scene can be compared with Japan's Joe Hisaishi and Yasushi Akimoto.

After Li Xiaotian's TV station contract with Li expired, he also terminated his contract and went to China Star Records. It was an era when Hong Kong's pop music was booming. China Star Records was also a very powerful record company, having signed contracts with well-known singers such as Anita Mui and Eason Chan.

He signed up for the first session. Among the more than 3,000 singers, those who caught his eye include newcomers such as Sammi Cheng, Lu Fang, Du Dewei, Zhou Huimin, and of course the future singing queen Anita Mui. When participating in the competition, Anita Mui was still a singer in a dance hall. With the help of Li Xiaotian, Anita Mui won the championship in one fell swoop with her singing skills and skillful stage performance.
