Brighten Me with Virtues

The Road, made by those who walked before us, kindles a flame with insight,
Knowledge enlightening our souls,
With a spirit of exploration we seek after wisdom.
Seasons change, but our heritage remains.
This journey of a hundred years has nurtured us,
Sharpened our vision and broadened our horizon.

Brighten us with virtues; Brighten us with the clarity and perseverance of courage.
Let wisdom be our shield,
Guard our intellect as we tread the path,
Even through the darkest night our spirit remains ablaze,
Abounding in truth - this is our motto.
Standing fast against the wind and storm - this is our motto.

We blaze a trail, following our hearts, pursuing truth;
Seeking insight, we build the future.
With wisdom, we embrace freedom and commitment,
Discerning right from wrong, like the holy fire, burning ever brighter when challenged.
The world advances, a heritage built by generations.
From the last hundred years to the next,
We learn from history, we create history.

The 2011 New Song
"Brighten Me with Virtues" 明我以德


This is an unprecedented collaboration of three masters of Canto-Pop, Sam Hui, Lin Xi and Adrian Chow, alumni of HKU from
different generations.

Since its inception, HKU has been one of the prime movers of Hong Kong culture. Not only culture in the sense of philosophy
and high art, but also of popular longings and desires. Over time HKU has generated a host of alumni who, through their
groundbreaking creative works, speak to common people's sentiments and help shape a local collective identity.

Sam Hui, with his bold infusion of local vernacular into western Rock and Pop music genres in the 1970s, literally created a
new language of pop music. His songs offered a progressive sound and a uniquely incisive take on the trials and tribulations
of ordinary people. They have since become the collective soundtracks for a whole generation making their mark in a rapidly
modernising Hong Kong.

Lin Xi's lyrics have been a benchmark in the culture of Canto-Pop, thanks to his seemingly incessant stream of outstanding
works since the 1980s. From the diverse notions of love and life, to the reflections on the younger generations' attitudes to
political issues, his blend of the mundane and the philosophical has inspired many lyricists, not only locally but throughout
the Greater China and overseas Chinese community.

Though Adrian only started his music career in the 21st century, his key outputs via Kay Tse have established him as an all-
round composer-lyricist-arranger-producer. His hybrid music styles are unmistakably of the new age. Yet in his compassionate
tunes of socio-cultural concerns, we can see echoes of Sam Hui, harking back to the “people’s voices” of the 1970s.

Over the years, we have debated and elaborated on the core values of HKU. We are thankful the three alumni from three
generations, on this important day of reflection, contribute their thoughts on the topic. "Brighten Me with Virtues",
unadorned, uplifting and from the heart. This is a song to remind us that we must continue to hold on and spread the
quintessential core values of our Alma Mater.
