VICE-CHANCELLOR OPENS DONG KINGMAN'S RETROSPECTIVE EXHIBITION OF WATERCOLORS Sponsored by the Hong Kong Arts Centre in association with Miss Aw Sian, Chairman of Sing Tao Newspapers Ltd., Dong Kingman Retrospective Exhibition of Watercolors was held at Exhibition Hall, Low Block, City Hall, from 9th to 11th December, 1972. Dr. Choh-Ming Li, Vice-Chancellor of this University and Principal Patron of the Hong Kong Arts Centre, was invited to officiate and address the assembly at the opening ceremony on 9th December. "Local boy makes good" - D r . Choh-Ming Li's address — You all know the world-famous artist Dong Kingman - by name at least. In more ways than one, Kingman is no stranger t o Hong Kong. He has both exhibited here and used the local landscape, and city-scape, as his subject. More than that, I believe he first learned to paint in Hong Kong. So every time he comes back among us, i t makes me think of the American expression - " L o c a l boy makes good"! It would take me hours to enumerate Dong Kingman's achievements as a painter, and the museums around the worl d that have collected him. Fortunately, I don't have to. Assembled here today - on loan from many collectors — is a show that is representative of the variety and richness of his art. To paraphrase an old Chinese saying, if you wish to know the man you look at his works. Now we have both Dong Kingman and his paintings in fron t of us. And looking from the one to the other, we can observe the same qualities — a youthful liveliness, verve, and a sense of humour. It's a rare occasion indeed, and it gives me great pleasure to be on hand to open this exciting exhibition.
