Hong Kong superstars Aaron Kwok and Andy Lau will have one more topic in common to talk about when they meet up in the future.

“Of course, this gives me another topic to chat about with Andy in future,” Kwok said, who performed his song Strong (1995) and the Hong Kong Jockey Club’s new annual theme song Go Go Go. He is the club’...
