I do admit that Sam Hui is a great lyric writer in incorporating ancient poems into his works.
However, I admire more the music composers who have composed music for ancient poems.
In Cantonese, 紅豆相思 is a typical example in converting an ancient poem into a Canto pop. 滿江紅 (a lyrical poem originally written by 岳飛 of Song dynasty) is also a beautiful Canto song sung by the late Roman Tam.
