The first round-up of songs, made when it was called coronavirus, here.
Please stay safe wherever you are! Remember to wash your hands and don’t use them to touch your eyes, nose, and mouth.
I Know 我知道 – Andy Lau
These heartfelt lyrics by Andy Lau are inspired by that of “For whom“, a song about efforts to contain the 1998 Wuhan floods –
“I don’t know who you are, but I know for whom you fight for.”
Out to Battle (Song of the Mighty Wind) 出征（大风歌）
– Gem Baoshi, Linghua (Phoenix Legend), Shitou, Zheng Qiyuan.
Gem Baoshi gets a lot of flack for writing redneck songs but this song is packed with perfectly placed allusions and homages without being overly ornate or academic. Can you catch all the references in the lyrics?
Also, Linghua’s voice is exactly the mighty wind the song needs. It’s unfortunate such talent is brought together for such a sad occasion.

The original version of I Know
With hope,with me – Aarif Rahman, Zhang Xincheng, etc.
I noticed there’s a lot of political controversy in the comments of 等风雨经过… Why this song in particular though, and not any of the others featuring HK/Taiwanese artists?
My guess is that it’s because it’s posted on a channel whose followers are mostly from Hong Kong, versus other videos that have a bigger range of subscribers.
