Welcome to the October 2025 newsletter of the Arts for Good Foundation. This month, I am honored to share part of my personal journey for “100 Stories of Hong Kong,“ a community storytelling project by photography artist Kevin Leung. This project celebrates moments of love, loss, hope, dreams, and the simple beauty found in everyday life in Hong Kong. The exhibition will be held this November at Kubrick and Broadway Cinematheque in Yau Ma Tei. I am truly humbled to be part of this inspiring collection.
My story is rooted in the richness of Chinese heritage and vibrancy of folk art, which deeply influenced my earliest memories and values I hold. My exploration and learning of both Eastern and Western contemporary art has continuously broadened my perspectives, and helped foster openness, empathy, and curiosity about the world. This reflective learning process through and with the arts allowed me to deeply experience how art and storytelling powerfully connect people from diverse backgrounds and walks of life, and inspire fresh and diverse perspectives to interpret personal and social challenges and opportunities.
Fifteen years ago, I arrived in Hong Kong and became increasingly captivated by its unique blend of Eastern and Western cultures, along with its rich diversity of stories within its communities. This insight led me to found Arts for Good Foundation as a vehicle for nurturing and supporting young talent from diverse cultural backgrounds and life experiences. Our mission is to help them discover a deeper sense of inclusiveness and belonging in Hong Kong and, more importantly, to inspire them to contribute — each in their own unique way— to the city’s vibrant social and cultural landscape as the East-meet-West hub.
