A community art exhibition organised in 2018 showcased students’ impressions of Sham Shui Po in a wide collection of drawings. One participant, Ji-Jun, dedicated a drawing to the owner of Pei Ho restaurant, Chan Cheuk-Ming (Ming Gor) who offers free meals to underprivileged families. Ji-Jun’s family once benefited from Ming Gor’s act of kindness and as expression of gratitude presented his drawing to Ming Gor at the ceremony.
