One tender greeting, “Hello, how are you?” brings warmth to Australia in winter through the equally warm neon lights. The Hong Kong group “Australia-Hong Kong Link” invited 12 artists to hold an art exhibition in Sydney with the theme “Hello, how are you?”

More than 150 people came on the opening day, June 17, as support for the event. Former Hong Kong legislator Ted Hui Chi-fung and New South Wales MP Dr. McDermott delivered speeches at the exhibition’s opening ceremony.
