    The performance of identity in Chinese popular music Groenewegen, J.W.P. Citation Groenewegen, J. W. P. (2011, June 15). The performance of identity in Chinese popular music.

Chapter 1: Place §1 Chinese Popular Music After introducing the singer and describing his migration from Malaysia to Singa- pore and his recent popularity in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and all over the Chinese di- aspora, the anchor [of the 1995 May 1st Concert] asked Wu [Qixian] how he de- fined himself in the final analysis. The musician’s reply, “I am Chinese” (wo shi Zhongguoren), which stirred a most enthusiastic and warm response from the au- dience, encapsulated everything Wu’s participation stood for, at least from the point of view from the state… By inviting … gangtai singers to participate in concerts and television programs, the Chinese state is not engaged so much in competing with other Chinese politics and identities … but rather in contesting their independence and in co-opting them into a greater Chinese nationalism, of which China is the core. In other words, the Chinese state is engaged in appropri- ating the concept of Greater China (Da Zhonghua).1 Gangtai is a 1980s PRC term for highly successful cultural products from Hong Kong (xiang gang) and Taiwan. In the above quotation, Nimrod Baranovitch rightly recognizes Hong Kong and Taiwan as major areas of production of Chinese pop music.

  • Following the Footprints of Music in Tiananmen Square Protests Wang Meng
    From the Highest Court to the Furthest Wasteland: Following the Footprints of Music in Tiananmen Square Protests Wang Meng Music has always been an important component of social movements. As the one and only protest of its scale and influence in China, the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests was a lively music venue. Protesters sang revolutionary songs and played rock music on cassette tapes players in the tent city. At night, the square turned into a concert and dance floor. (Gordon & Hinton, 1995) Cui Jian and Hou Dejian, the two most popular musicians at the time, performed for the protesters on the square. The singers’ featured songs, “Nothing to My Name” (Yiwusuoyou) and “Descendants of the Dragon” (Long de chuanren) became unofficial anthems of the protesters. Hou was deeply involved in the protest by joining the hunger strike initiated by Liu Xiaobo and was one of the negotiators at the dawn of June 4th with the military. In an interview with Tiananmen student leader Wuer Kaixi, he emphasized the importance of singers in the movement: “The people who are most influential among young people are not (the dissident intellectuals) Fang Lizhi and Wei Jingsheng, but singers such as Cui Jian.” (Huang, 2001) In Hong Kong, Concert for Democracy in China was held for 12 hours nonstop to raise money for the protesters on May 27th. After the crackdown, music became an important means of commemorating the protests and preserving memories and protecting legacies against state propaganda and collective amnesia. Even new generations who were born after 1989 wrote songs in memory of the protest.

Professor Louise Edwards with her infectious enthusiasm first got me on track to begin a PhD and saw it all the way to completion. Along the road, she provided valuable feedback on drafts and encouraged me to partake in a variety of activities that benefited not just the project but my understanding of broader issues surrounding it. When Louise moved to Hong Kong, I was exceptionally fortunate to have on board the equally expert and energetic professor, Wanning Sun, who had just arrived at UTS. Wanning‘s expertise in Chinese media and identity was vital in helping me form the theoretical and analytical framework that became the backbone of this work.
