'''The Chopsticks''' was a short-lived female duo in [Hong Kong](/source/Hong_Kong) consisting of [Sandra Lang](/source/Sandra_Lang) and Amina. They were the first all-female modern music singing group to be marketed and launched from Hong Kong.

They started singing in the late 1960s with [HK English pop](/source/Hong_Kong_English_pop) songs and were contracted with the local [Crown Records](/source/%3Azh%3A%E5%A8%9B%E6%A8%82%E5%94%B1%E7%89%87) between 1969 and 1972,<ref>{{cite news |title=「筷子姊妹花」70年代走紅 |url=https://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/news/20110614/00176_022.html|publisher=Oriental Daily |date=14 June 2011}}</ref> having a release total of four LP albums and not more than 10 SP/EPs. In 1973, the duo split and both [Sandra Lang](/source/Sandra_Lang) and Amina went solo.<ref>{{cite news |title=致我們終將逝去的女子組合 |url=http://www.etnet.com.hk/www/tc/lifestyle/features/specialfeatures/19096 |publisher=Sky Post |date=1 August 2013}}</ref>
