1990年代，隨著香港電視及電影普及返，眾多電視劇同港產片出現演員嘅香港政府粵語拼音（同廣州用開嘅粵式郵政拼音一脈相承），開始令返受官話拼音包圍嘅廣州人有親切感同認同感。進入21世紀，隨著香港開放自由行，仲有唔少港資企業返到廣州開分號（如許留山“Hui Lau Shan”），廣州人對香港度保留嘅粵拼加深返咗認識，香港政府對於粵文化嘅保育同傳承，激發返廣州人對大陸政府強制推普、扼殺本地文化嘅不滿。而有部分廣州人，經唔瞭解粵語拼音啲歷史，認為啲拼音係香港發明嘅，就叫人係“香港拼音”。珠江新城興盛路有過路牌喺2010年採用香港政府粵拼Hing Shing Road，畀眾多媒體採訪，嗰陣唔少市民係支持嘅。隨後廣州城市建設委員會即刻以渠違反咗廣東省地方標準《公共標誌英文譯法規範》為由，將標識英文改成官話拼音。
In the 1990s, with the popularization of Hong Kong television and movies, many TV dramas and Hong Kong films appeared in the Hong Kong government's Cantonese pinyin (in the same vein as the Cantonese postal pinyin that has been used in Guangzhou), which began to give the Cantonese people who were surrounded by the official pinyin a sense of intimacy and identity. In the 21st century, with the opening of Hong Kong to free travel, there are still many Hong Kong-funded enterprises back to Guangzhou to open a branch (such as Xu Liushan umbrella Hui Lau Shan uranium), Guangzhou people have deepened their understanding of Hong Kong's retention of Cantonese spelling, and the Hong Kong government's preservation and inheritance of Cantonese culture has inspired Hui Guangzhou people to be dissatisfied with the mainland government's forced popularization and stifling local culture. However, some people in Guangzhou, after not knowing some of the history of Cantonese pinyin, think that some pinyin was invented in Hong Kong, so they call it Lin Hong Kong Pinyin uranium. In 2010, the Hong Kong government's Hing Shing Road was used for many media interviews, and many citizens supported it at that time. Subsequently, the Guangzhou Urban Construction Committee immediately changed the English of the sign to Mandarin Pinyin on the grounds that the canal violated the local standard of Guangdong Province "Specification for the English Translation of Public Signs".
