A constellation of Hong Kong musical talent, spanning established artists and emerging voices, convened today, October 27th, at the Convention and Exhibition Centre to participate in the Metro Radio Hits Awards Ceremony 2025. Beyond celebrating the year’s top musical achievements, the event was marked by a poignant demonstration of solidarity, with attending performers dedicating a portion of the evening to send encouragement and support to the residents affected by the recent disaster in Tai Po’s Wang Fuk Court.
The influential roster of attendees included prominent names such as Jason Chan, Terence Lam, Phil Lam, Alfred Hui, Hugo Ng, Gareth. T, Jeffrey Ngai, On Chan, Dear Jane, Kaho Hung, Gin Lee, Vincy Chan, Chantelle Yiu, Yumi Chung, Angel Chan, Charmaine Fong, and Pam Siu. Their collective presence underscored the significance of the annual music awards and highlighted the artistic community’s role in social outreach.
The evening’s emotional centerpiece occurred when the gathered musicians joined forces with veteran actress and Metro Radio icon, Nancy Sit, known affectionately as the station’s “pillar of strength.” Together, they performed a heartfelt rendition of the song “Blessings.” This communal performance was specifically intended to offer warmth and comfort to those displaced or impacted by the crisis in the Tai Po residential area. The act served as a powerful reminder of the unifying force of music during challenging times.
Following the musical tribute, Metro Broadcast CEO, Steven Ma, took to the stage. Mr. Ma, alongside the ensemble of singers, further uplifted the atmosphere by engaging in a symbolic gesture of unity, collectively forming heart shapes with their hands. This gesture was delivered as a visual message of hope and renewed encouragement to both the audience and, more importantly, the affected residents of Wang Fuk Court.
The integration of disaster relief and community solidarity within a major industry event signals a growing trend among media corporations and public figures in Hong Kong to utilize high-profile platforms for social good. While the Metro Radio Hits Awards focused primarily on honoring excellence in music production and performance, the spontaneous concert for the Tai Po victims provided a tangible demonstration of empathy. Such public displays of concern often translate into increased awareness and philanthropic support for recovery efforts.
The successful blending of entertainment and altruism demonstrates the civic responsibility embraced by members of the Hong Kong entertainment industry. As the award season continues, the precedent set by uniting top artists for immediate community benefit will likely serve as a model for future large-scale public events. The focus now shifts toward ensuring that these symbolic gestures translate into sustained, practical assistance for those navigating the aftermath of the Tai Po incident.
