      UM scholar publishes new book on Anita Mui and Hong Kong’s popular
      culture

*Lei Chin Pang, an assistant professor in the Department of 
Communication, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Macau (UM), 
recently published a new book titled ‘Dream and the City: Anita Mui and 
Hong Kong Popular Culture’.*

*Pop stars are usually regarded as entertainers who are not worthy of 
serious discussion. However, star studies, as a popular area in media 
and cultural studies, has a history of several decades in international 
academia. In this new book, Dr Lei analyses the late Hong Kong superstar 
Anita Mui Yim-Fong’s songs, images, stage performances, media coverage 
as well as the stories of her fans, and explores the relationship among 
pop stars, society, economy and culture. The book is endorsed and 
recommended by numerous scholars, including Prof Lui Tai Lok, vice 
president of the Education University of Hong Kong; Prof Chu Yiu Wai, 
director of the programme in Hong Kong studies at the University of Hong 
Kong (HKU); and Prof Ng Chun Hung, an honorary associate professor in 
the Department of Sociology at HKU. *

*Dr Lei was born and raised in Macao. He obtained a bachelor’s degree in 
journalism from Chengchi University in Taiwan and a PhD degree in media 
and cultural studies from the University of Sussex in the United 
Kingdom. He has published various books on popular culture and urban 
culture, including/Invisible Macau: The Ignored City and Culture/**.*
