AN EVENING OF PRIDE AND PLEASURE FOR THE FANGS
THE DEPUTY TO THE GOVERNOR, MRS ANSON CHAN, TODAY (THURSDAY) PROUDLY HONOURED A REMARKABLE WOMAN FANG ZHAOLING, WHOM SHE LOVES DEEPLY AS A MOTHER AND AS AN ARTIST.
"IN MY 32 YEARS OF PUBLIC SERVICE, I HAVE BEEN INVITED TO MAKE MANY SPEECHES, PAY MANY TRIBUTES AND CUT MANY RIBBONS.
"
"AS IMPORTANT AS THEY ALL WERE, NONE HAS GIVEN ME AS MUCH PLEASURE AND SENSE OF PRIDE THAN THE OCCASION THIS EVENING, MRS CHAN TOLD THE VISITORS TO HER MOTHER'S EXHIBITION ENTITLED "THE PASSIONATE REALM" IN THE MUSEUM OF ART.
SHE COMMENDED MADAM FANG AS A WOMAN OF GREAT COMPASSTON AND HUMANITY AND AS AN ARTIST OF INCREDIBLE ENERGY, SENSITIVITY, INTELLIGENCE AND VISION.
WIDOWED TRAGICALLY AT A VERY EARLY AGE WITH A LARGE BUT YOUNG FAMILY, MADAM FANG HAS NEVERTHELESS SUCCEEDED, WITH THE SUPPORT 05 OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS, TO RAISE EIGHT CHILDREN.
AND, AT THE SAME TIME, SHE HAS ESTABLISHED A REPUTATION AS OF CHINA'S FOREMOST ARTISTS WHOSE TALENTS ARE RECOGNISED ALL OVER WORLD.
ONE THE

"WE FANGS BELIEVE IN THE VIRTUES OF HONESTY, INTEGRITY, FAIR PLAY AND RESPECT FOR ONE'S FAMILY AND FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS.
"WE WERE ALSO TAUGHT TO STAND ON OUR OWN FEET, TO MAKE THE MOST OF ONE'S TALENTS AND ABILITIES AND TO SUPPORT OTHER MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY AND THE COMMUNITY AROUND US PARTICULARLY IN TIMES OF NEED.
"IT IS DIFFICULT TO THINK OF A BETTER ROLE MODEL FOR THESE VALUES THAN FANG ZHAOLING, SHE SAID.
