電視娛樂「大哥」吳雨說：「香港藝術和娛樂相通，沒有市場增長，兩者一樣衰亡！」
吳雨在電視、唱片、演藝界，被叫「大哥」，大家尊敬他，除了因為他望尊(在1975年便入行，為商業電台兼職寫劇本，同年進入TVB無綫電視當全職編劇，然後升上高層。1996年，加入「華星唱片」當CEO，捧紅了陳奕迅和楊千嬅。之後，去了英皇娛樂做總裁，提攜了容祖兒、Twins、林峯等，更是香港國際唱片業協會的前主席)，更因為他的為人公平公正、忠厚平和，熱心為香港服務。近年，香港亞洲流行音樂節，是他推動的。2017年，為了表揚吳雨的貢獻，香港政府頒授「銅紫荊星章」給「大哥」。

“IT IS A BIG MISTAKE TO THINK OF A MARKET WITHOUT A NEW MARKET!” ——HONG KONG TV PATRIARCH NG YU COMPARES ART AND ENTERTAINMENT MARKETS
12-04-20 One market leads to another. Doors are all locked when we cannot keep our own market. Instagrammer Caleb Hsu made this point, “When aesthetic purpose precedes exposure and sales considerations, art wins over entertainment. It starts with artistic intention and results in audience response. Entertainment is more about artifice, whereas art has a strong…

‘WHY ARE HONG KONG MEN CHARMING IN OUR OWN WAYS?’—ANDREW PONG, THE DEVOUT ARTIST WORSHIPER OF BRUCE LEE
31-03-20 It is more than a self-consolation. Men do not have to be handsome. A charming man gets more proposals than a handsome man. Men in Hong Kong, a female-dominating society, often feel small as we may not have a face with clean-cut features such as the Japanese. We are not as tall as the…

第二代專家黑國強教路，如何從你收藏的第一件古物，走進無窮藝術和投資的樂趣
姓「白」的人不少，但是姓「黑」的，我第一次認識，他是兩代都經營古董的黑國強(Andy)。Andy叫人難忘的，是他兩條像日本卡通人物的濃眉；而他最聞名的，是主辦了亞洲藝術展覽「典亞藝博」(Fine Art Asia)；當然最特別的，因他不是漢族人，祖先是回民，中國的少數民族…..

香港人在肺炎陰影下，為何仍有七處樂觀積極的地方？
越南北部的人瑞說：她活命百年，因為樂觀。 全球都感染新冠肺炎，這種病毒沒有解藥，生死與否，在乎個人抵抗力。生活、工作、唸書、做生意、出入境，無一不受影響，疫情是否受控，還要看七月的夏天。日子流長，怎能沒有一次感冒，如果發燒，就算是杯弓蛇影，準被嚇得半死。 目前，大家什麼都不敢做，更不敢想，過了一天又一關，但當脫下口罩，想一想，今次的壞事是否有「好事」成分？今次COVID-19，其實帶來了七個值得香港人思考的題目；反思有所得，一切不必悲觀…..

文化女孩李夢的夢想，努力推動香港Art Travel藝術旅行
最近，李夢告訴我，和浸會大學任教的老友米哈(Louis Ho)組織海外Art Travel，「藝術旅行」首站去意大利。我瞳孔放大：「搞乜鬼？」李夢(Daisy) 笑得嘴角上移：「這些年，本地視覺藝術的蓬勃，令到業內如畫廊、展銷會、藝術家嗅到欣喜，但是對於許多對藝術不太了解的香港人來說，還是『我識條鐵咩？』，好像是在平行時空中，那邊廂熱鬧，這邊廂藝術卻與己無關。有些人偶爾去畫展，在作品前拍照打卡，上傳Facebook和Instagram，算孔雀開屏一番。」

28-02-20 Curiosity is an inborn instinct. We are in love with the unknown places away from Hong Kong, whether they are cities, mountains or oceans.
