"The path of great wisdom consists in preserving one's integrity, in renovating the people, and in proceeding to the utmost the perfection the only point of rest." - Learning Proper for Men


"For the cause of TWGHs, I have the chance to mix the Chinese traditional culture with the Western street culture and demonstrate Chinese calligraphy on a skateboard. Therefore, I inscribed the skateboard with the Chinese phrase meaning The Endless Pursuit of Perfection, as I believe this is not only the spirit of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals but also the pursuit of skateboarders!" - Fung Siu Wah


Fung Siu Wah (Wah Gor), born in Shunde, Guangdong, in 1948, turned his curiosity for calligraphy into a passion under parental education. Started with the calligraphy style of Ming and Qing dynasty, and advanced his studies through copybooks for the calligraphy of the Jin, Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasty, he has never restricted himself to a single style. By musing on the calligraphy of the foregone sages and associating with myriads of calligraphers of the contemporary, Wah Gor has consolidated the merits of the calligraphy of different periods. Fond of practising cursive script, he has created a unique style combining the characteristics of all schools. Wah Gor has produced inscriptions for many well-known Hong Kong movies, and he is honoured as the Calligrapher for the Film Industry.

《大學》:「大學之道,在明明德,在親民,在止於至善」


「是次有機會將中國傳統和西方街頭文化糅合,將中國書法展現在滑板上,我特別題字『止於至善』,取其寓意力臻圓滿,相信不單是東華三院一直抱持的精神,也是滑板運動員的追求!」── 華戈
