Preface#
On the journey of growth, we all experience the transformation from dependence to independence. The cover of “Kindergarten” by the Hong Kong Southern District Children’s Choir presents this classic originally sung by Twins with pure, youthful voices.
Wyman Wong’s lyrics act like a mirror, reflecting the child within each of us who is unwilling to grow up. When the tender voices sing, “Don’t go, even if the big clock strikes, don’t let go,” the fear and reluctance towards growing up seem to echo right beside our ears.
This song is not only a nostalgia for childhood but also a cherishing of the innocence and attachment experienced during the process of growing up. In this fast-paced world, occasionally pausing to listen to “Kindergarten” might help us rediscover that once-innocent heart.

Lyrics: Wyman Wong | Composition: Chan Kwong Wing
Remember that day, on that day First time going to school, every minute before, parents were always by my side Finally, heaven and earth require going alone Must let go with both hands, but I don’t want to let go, crying while looking back
Then comes this day, on this day Stepping out into the world, having long left school behind Grown up, I should have gotten used to it long ago, having no escort Yet I’m so childish, whenever something bad happens, I just want to return To the fortress of my parents, no matter the troublesome matters
Don’t go, even if the big clock strikes, don’t let go After adulthood, nothing can have the indulgence of adults anymore Don’t go, going forward among the crowd will temper you enough You can see, in the future, days will always have ups and downs But right now, the care received, the selfless care, is not enough
Everything must be careful, it’s so boring, please don’t force me to be an adult anymore But time is so
