Product Description

Hong Kong does not have its own official national anthem. As a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, it officially uses the national anthem of China, "March of the Volunteers". The Hong Kong SAR National Anthem Ordinance protects and promotes its use.
While "March of the Volunteers" is the official anthem, the song "Glory to Hong Kong" gained popularity as a protest song during the 2019-2020 demonstrations, and is sometimes referred to as an "unofficial national anthem" within the context of those protests. However, it is not officially recognized as the anthem of Hong Kong. The Hong Kong government has taken steps to ban the song, citing concerns about national security.
"Glory to Hong Kong" (Chinese: ; Jyutping: jyun6 wing4 gwong1 gwai1 hoeng1 gong2; Cantonese Yale: Yuhn Wìhnggwōng Gwāi Hēunggóng) is a protest anthem that was composed and written by a musician under the pseudonym "Thomas dgx yhl", with the contribution of a group of Hongkonger netizens from the online forum LIHKG during the 20192020 Hong Kong protests. It was initially written in Cantonese and was eventually developed into various language versions starting with English.
