Chung-hing is a prominent figure in Hong Kong literature. Local audience would probably know her by her nom de plume Green Rider（綠騎士）, under which she has published 16 works in Chinese.
Living in Paris since 1977, Chung-hing continues to write and paint.
It is within the French culture that she fulfills her artistic potential through a fusion with
her Far Eastern roots. She has since published four illustrated poetry collections in French. In art, literature and music, she continues
to search for harmony between Human, Nature and Spirituality.
Incidentally, she is an alumna of Alliance Française de Hong Kong. She will join us again on Zoom, and accompanied iby her daughter Véronique Gosselin and the musician Eugène Leung (oudist) at the AF Library, read with us some of her favourite poems in Chants de voyage（旅曲）.
An 18-minute narrated video collage based on À ta recherche（尋找你）will also be projected.
About the Book: À ta recherche
Published in 2019, À ta recherche retraces a life path inspired by 40 years of painting. Marked by a
humanist philosophy, the text and graphic works seek a place in the ages of existence, the eternal revolution of the four seasons and the
pursuit of beauty. This book encourages all those who pursue their dreams with curiosity, freedom and a love of life.
About the Book: Chants de voyage
Go where your heart is carrying you is the underlying echo that crosses these Chants de voyage. Each course is a challenge to oneself. From discoveries to encounters littered with wonders and perils, a "peregrine" reaches new horizons.
Chung-hing is passionate about the kaleidoscope of the world. From her own journeys, from those of others and through his favorite novels, the poems capture the very essence of these journeys, so often strewn with humanity. They are borrowed from an East-West cross look whose fruit is a balance between dynamism and serenity.
