Beyond was a Hong Kong rock band that formed in 1983. The band is widely considered to be one of most successful and influential music groups in Asia.

There is a saying China that "Wherever you stay, as long as there exists Chinese people, you will hear the song of Beyond."

In 1993, the founder of the group Wong Ka Kui died in an accident while filming a show at Fuji Television in Tokyo.

The remaining members Paul Wong, Wong Ka Keung and Yip Sai Wing continued before deciding to pursue their own solo careers in 2005, and Beyond officially disbanded. But the spirit of encouragement and bravery embodied in the group lives on.
