Each stroke carries a world of meaning: one word, one wish; one blessing, one sincerity.
This wall is our homage to the city we love. May it bring comfort like a spring breeze and guidance like a steady light, carrying hope and unity to all who pause before it. Here, fortune is not just seen — it is felt and shared.
We believe happiness is born from everyday gestures of kindness and connection — may this blessed land of Hong Kong be filled with hope and warmth. This wall stands as our heartfelt wish, a humble offering to the people of Hong Kong.
