As a totem of the Chinese nation, the...

The Historical Significance and Vibrant Allure of the Hollywood Road Cultural District

Spring breeze accommodates everything. The historical significance and vibrant allure of the Hollywood Road cultural district in Hong Kong's Sheung Wan area are remarkable.   In the 1990s, the famous Taiwanese singer Lo Ta-yu sang "Queen's Road East, Queen's Road West," which became widely known, showcasing the keen observation of creative artists who captured the cultural essence of Hong Kong. Since then, I have personally explored Hollywood Road with a curious mind, gradually falling in love with its rich cultural and artistic atmosphere. A chance encounter with a British guest who was fond of Chinese stone-carved Buddha statues led me to act as a guide, helping him explore and...

Enhancing the Artistic and Cultural Appeal of Central Market in Hong Kong

Central Market in Hong Kong holds a long-standing history, dating back to the early 1840s when it began as a marketplace. The existing building, constructed in 1939, features a simple yet striking Baroque architectural style. After ceasing operations in the early 2000s, it underwent 18 years of planning and renovation before reopening two years ago, gradually emerging as a new landmark for arts and culture in Central, exuding a captivating charm! As the saying goes, "Times change, and so does the river flow." Since the relocation of Hong Kong's airport to Chek Lap Kok, the economic center of Hong Kong has gradually shifted westward. The once bustling hubs of arts and culture, such as...

Hong Kong Palace Museum / The Path of Self-Sufficiency and Growth

誰是江南第一才子？

我從事資優教育20多年，喜歡閱讀偉人的故事，天才、神童、多才多藝的藝術家最吸引我呢！ 明·張靈繪，《唐伯虎像》。（Wikimedia Commons） 我相信最為香港人熟悉的江南才子，非明朝的唐伯虎莫屬了。一來「唐伯虎點秋香」的事跡已成為普羅大眾所津津樂道的佳話，無論是粵語長片或是粵劇戲曲都曾加以改編，搬上舞台。再者上世紀90年代，周星馳和鞏俐將故事拍成電影，將之喜劇化和通俗化。唯觀眾也對唐伯虎產生另類印象，醜化了這位詩、書、畫皆精的...
