Wan Kwong


Jackson Wan Kwong, born Lữ Minh Quang, is a Vietnamese-born Hong Kong singer, nicknamed "the Temple Street, [Hong Kong|Temple Street] Prince."
Wan was born in Chợ Lớn, [Ho Chi Minh City|Cholon], Ho [Chi Minh City|Saigon] in 1949 to a Cantonese Vietnamese family and was trained as a Cantonese opera singer. Wan left South Vietnam for British Hong Kong with his family as the Vietnam War heated up. From the 1960s to the 1980s, he switched to pop songs, whose lyrics, often in vulgar language, reflected the lives of the Hong Kong working class. Around the 1990s, he collaborated with other senior singers in Hong Kong, singing in pubs and on TV shows. He released an album called Ignoring Father in 2002 and still holds concerts occasionally.
