Dr. Tong Kin Woon, nanyin artist (Centre)
He is known for being able to “accompany himself on the zheng when he sings the nanyin songs, beating time with the clappers with his left hand and playing the instrument with his right”. He hosted two radio programmes on Radio Television Hong Kong in the early 1990s – The Art of Nanyin Narrative Singing, and The Nanyin Singing of Dou Wun – to introduce the genre to a wider audience. Dr. Ng Wing Mui is also pictured second from the left.
