Description

Description

Wu Guanzhong’s connection with Hong Kong began from 1950 when he returned to China by ferry from Paris. With the sea ban policy at that time, he had no choice but to transit in Hong Kong under British rule. Wu recalled that when he first saw this southern point of his home country on the horizon, he had mixed feelings and burst into tears. Wu took the train to China from the terminus in Tsim Sha Tsui, as if stepping onto a single-log bridge and walking into the world of unknown. Sixty years have passed and with the exhibitions and donation of artworks he made to the Hong Kong Museum of Art, he returned to the single-log bridge again, facing the world with his great achievement and selfless dedication in art.
