The Works
We have a doctor in the house later, or rather in the studio, but don’t worry, no one here is going through a medical emergency. Ryan Cheung is not only a doctor but also a singer-songwriter. He took a six-month sabbatical to pursue his love for music. He’ll be here to tell us more about his journey. Like Ryan, Packy Lai also decided to move away from her everyday job, which was in marketing, to spend time on the art that interested her. Unlike Ryan she decided to make the move permanent, and to turn her hobby, calligraphy, into her profession.
At the Hong Kong Palace Museum, around 150 treasures from the Palace Museum in Beijing and the Palace of Versailles in France have been on show together in one exhibition for the first time. The exhibition highlights the cultural encounters between China and France in the late 17th and 18th centuries. Objects on show include royal portraits, porcelains, glassware, enamelware, textiles, books and scientific instruments.
