The Purple Secret──20 Years of Miriam Yeung's Music and Movies (Revised Edition)

Many people believe that the characteristic of Miriam Yeung's songs is "the integration of herself as a person in her lyrics", interpreting her life through songs, such as the well-known "Yeung Chin Wah" and "Brave". Later on, she excelled in both singing and acting, and the film studio followed the same "rule" to tailor-make movie roles for her, such as "Fang Lijuan" and "Yu Chunqiao". In show business, a lack of advantageous background or exceptional beauty may not be conducive to one’s career development, but for Yeung, this is the reason why she is popular. The author of this book, Billy Ng Tsz-yu, is a diehard fan of Yeung. He analyzes Miriam Yeung's creation from the perspective of cultural studies and re-examines this star who has been popular for 20 years while still remaining true to herself. Yeung's success in the music and film industries is not something that she alone can achieve, but requires creators and opportunities behind her. This book analyzes the idol culture and pop music industry phenomena after the 1990s through the analysis of Yeung's achievements, and also interviews many fans and people who have worked with her, such as Huang Xiuping and Chen Yongshen. The book will also include photos of Yeung’s merchandise collected by fans and the author himself.
