Rich and Poor

Headliner (头条新闻) is a TV show produced by Radio Television Hong Kong discussing current affairs in HK.

The show also likes to modify some songs/musics + new lyrics in order to discuss (criticize?) the affair/government..

When I first met this show, I thought of Ming Zhi (The singer of Negarakuku)

If our lovely country allows this kind of show, he might not need to run away to Taiwan..:P

This is one of the songs I found they modified and discussed about the rich and the poor condition in HK.

用碎骨瘦肉泡粥

间中更要食素

并摊分开三五餐进食不敢抱怨投诉

到晚上全面禁灯

怕背负电费沉重

若要夜里读报

用街灯应该看到

被困板间斗舍中

讯息耳语互诉

为免骚扰到隔壁的租客口角变动武

各种开支也高

每日涨实在恐怖

GDP虽在高

贫富两极化却越来越糟

可会感觉到

疾苦这撮群众

极要得到这社会伸手去拯救与怀抱

救股灾都救到

对巨富服侍周到

当这边厢庆祝

贫困老弱却分享不到

note:

GDP (gross domestic product) = the measure of national income and output for a given country 's economy
