　　Music Born in Hong Kong

　　From a region of seven million people has arisen① some of the greatest pop music in the world②. As well as ③ attracting huge audiences in its Hong Kong home, Cantopop has spread offshore④， and its stars are known in Beijing, London and New York. Music born in Hong Kong⑤ is booming⑥ .

　　In most of the world, pop music is a sign of friction⑦ between generations. But Cantopop expresses only harmony⑧ and virtue⑨， and Hong Kong is blessed with⑩ the most conventional⑪ music scene⑫ in the world. The stars don't wear fancy⑬ clothes. The women wear clean blouses⑭ and the men wear pressed⑮ slacks⑯. They're so neat⑰ and well­behaved⑱ that any mom⑲ would want their kids to watch them⑳.
