. In 1948, my family moved to Hong Kong and settled down. I lived in a wooden house area in Kowloon with my sister Mei Ku and lived in poverty. During this period, Gu Jiahui worked in a foreign firm's laboratory during the day and went to night school at night. Because Mei Ku often practiced singing, he became interested in music. In the late 195s, Gu Jiahui worked as a pianist in the Xianzhang nightclub in Wan Chai and a nightclub in Dongying Building, and formed the "Gu Jiahui Big Band".

Gu Jiahui seized the opportunity to go to the United States for a two-year music training course. During his further study, Gu Jiahui took part in the composition competition of Shaw's film "Can't Love" with his work "Dream", and won the second place among many works, which became an episode of the film and began his musical career.

People's evaluation

Gu Jiahui has a great talent in composing and arranging music, and has created more than a thousand songs. His works are deeply influenced by Guangdong Cantonese music, with beautiful and fluent tunes, rich and meaningful, simple and unique charm, which has brought great harmony to the development of Hong Kong music. His works became popular with a group of Hong Kong pop singers, from Tam, Leslie Cheung to Anita Mui, expelling the white shadow of English songs and opening up the Cantonese pop music scene (Liang Wendao Review).
