How China’s reform and opening up hit Hong Kong entertainment

China’s reform and opening up policies began 40 years ago, resulting in decades of rapid economic growth and the country’s transformation into the world’s second-biggest economy.
The new wealth had an impact across China, including Hong Kong, the former British colony and current Special Administrative Region. It gave new opportunities to Hong Kong’s artists, but also brought on challenges.
The South China Morning Post spoke to three Hong Kong celebrities who witnessed the changes through the decades.
