The Kuans celebrate HK Cinema in their CNY music video

Malaysia’s multi-talented family, The Kuans, join forces with the Hong Kong Tourism Board for a CNY homage to HK Cinema.

Comprising of Jestinna, Mskuan, Perry, Papa Kuan, and Mama Kuan; the family brings more dong dong to the festive chiang this Chinese New Year. Inspired by their recent family trip to Hong Kong, “好運一萬年” (“My Lucky Lunar Song”) was filmed in Hong Kong and features The Kuans role-playing to their favourite onscreen characters on iconic locations that fans of HK Cinema will instantly recognize!

6 iconic HK Cinema locations and 1 iconic cameo

The video features the The Kuans being teleported to Hong Kong. Here, they head off on a nostalgic journey dressed as familiar characters from Hong Kong movies and TV series. Of course, familiar locations make an appearance as well. Here are some that we recognized:

Central-Mid-Levels Escalators

Known for its role in Wong Kar Wai’s Chungking Express, the location also holds a record as the longest outdoor covered escalator system in the world.

Of course, Mskuan and Mama Kuan are patrolling the location in Hong Kong police uniforms, offering homage to the location’s cinematic heritage.

The video also features a special cameo appearance by Hong Kong entertainer Wong Cho Lam. He’s known for his comedic roles and beloved presence in Hong Kong’s entertainment scene.

Experience CNY in Hong Kong first-hand

This video marks a significant milestone for The Kuans as their first filmed overseas. More importantly, the lyrics about making time for loved ones is one that came from the heart:

“It’s through our recent trip to Hong Kong that we realised that we don’t spend enough quality time as a family due to work commitments and traveling as a family felt so precious.

We love Hong Kong’s Chinese New Year vibes and its mix of modernity and tradition, alongside its rich film history that made it the perfect setting for our Chinese New Year music video.”

– Jestinna Kuan

CNY attractions include the Night Parade on January 29th, with floats and performances along the streets of Tsim Sha Tsui, fireworks at Victoria Harbor, and tossing wishes for the year ahead onto the Lam Tsuen Wishing tree.
