Feeling Nostalgic -- Memoir Literature

Opening Ceremony at the 10th Hong Kong Literature Festival -- Feeling Nostalgic

It's my pleasure to join the opening ceremony at the 10th Hong Kong Literature Festival -- Feeling Nostalgic. This is my favorite backdrop in the exhibition. It isn't be specified what is it, probably memory is unique to everyone. It appears to me like the Drawer of Memory, in which we may get connected with one or two lines casting the shadow of our personal history.

What's Hong Kong Literature? Mix. Fusion. Cantonese Literature.

In Ya Si's Postcolonial Affairs of Food and the Heart, food fusion and cultural identity are depicted. Given that food is closely connected to culture, the attitude of people towards food reflect their views on cultural identity, whether they accept purity or not.

Identity concerns everybody, whereas the complicated formation of Hong Kong's cultural identity is always a debatable issue in Hong Kong, and guess it concerns to other multicultural places.  

Cantonese and Hong Kong Chinese is generally regarded as the medium of language in the festival. This is the festival of Hong Kong as the memoir literature of Hong Kong.

Blue Chrysanthemums

Thank you for taking and sending me photos of today's event! It is my pleasure to share my artwork with all of you. A big thank you to Dr Esther Cheung for naming my artwork as "Blue Chrysanthemums" and holding it for me. I am also glad that some of you find it inspiring with my discussion on the ambivalent color blue. I would love to hear from you more as a reciprocal "moving and stillness" process of creation.

I would love to re-read the work "Odor of Chrysanthemums" by D.H. Lawrence again. Poetic as always.

Chinese Painting: From Traditional to Modern

The photo taken in the event while I was teaching Chinese painting to the kids

I have learnt Chinese calligraphy since I was eight. It serves as a solid foundation for my Chinese painting. I was invited to a Chinese painting event at a mall for sharing and teaching paintings with the public. Sharing the traditional art in a modern building has allowed me to rethink the question of "in between".

Art is fluid, so as the artists.
