id-Autumn Festival is an important occasion in Chinese culture, and equally significant are mooncakes which symbolize the celebration. Traditional mooncake tins in various designs, shapes and sizes have become little treasure boxes that house heirlooms and collections in many families, long after the festival and often for decades to come. We thank each person who submitted their mooncake tin for this collective memory project!
中秋節是我們的大節日,月餅更是不可缺少,月餅罐更成為我們收藏珍貴回憶的時間囊!感謝參與這次召集的你們,分享家裏的時間囊及內藏的「瑰寶」。
Growing up in Vancouver, Fung never took his privileged upbringing for granted. Early on, he knew that he wanted to chart his own path, to work for the benefit of others, and eventually contribute something of his own to the family business. Although not official, resilience and enterprise are what come to mind as family mottos; personal resilience being his own core principle.
