Joey Yung

Joey Yung is one of those names that anchors an entire era of Cantopop, and I respect how consistently she has stayed at the top. Debuting in 1996 with Emperor Entertainment Group, she has racked up wins at Hong Kong's big annual music ceremonies year after year, which is no small feat in such a crowded scene. Landing 63rd on the 2014 Forbes China Celebrity 100 says her reach went well beyond Hong Kong. What I appreciate is the dual track as both singer and actress. To me she represents the durable, hard-working core of Hong Kong's entertainment industry rather than a flash in the pan.
