| ...When
interviewed he said that he already harboured the idea of going
backstage two years ago. All along he has an interest in artistic
and creative stuff like shooting MTV or desktop design.
About a year ago he started his preparation, looking at magazines,
collecting materials and photographs to convince TCS to let him do image
designing. He felt that there are lots of opportunities for development
in this job in the local scene...Newcomers with their own style continue to
emerge while the oldies need to constantly change and adjust to keep in
pace with trends. So there is constant flow of ideas...A successful
stylist need to constantly improve oneself and observe the
surroundings. He has to keep in touch with new things. Watching stage
plays provides good source of inspiration as the styling is exaggerated. To him this job isn't as simple as it seems to be. Its scope is wide and challenging where one has to perform many tasks including administration and costing........ Hanwei picked up photography recently and has a special liking for black and white photographs. He plans to get some TCS friends as his models. Ha, and he intends to "borrow" Hung Hui Fang's baby to practise his shooting. He has so many ideas like dressing her up as a flower or placing her among the dolls... The reporter wondered if Hung Hui Fang will let Hanwei have her baby. But one thing is for sure,,Hanwei is already full of creative ideas, even before he starts his new job... And asked what is his wish for his new job, he concluded . " A peaceful but yet extra-ordinary life" |

Have you decided to change job because you feel that you are not as popular as 2 years ago? Up till now, I do not feel a difference in the audience's support. Besides TCS has given me continuous opportunities. Actually two years ago (95), I already have this plan. The plan wasn't made within one to two days. I have told the top management and many discussion sessions were held. In the past there wasn't this job, but now TCS has a special post in image designing which suits my need exactly.

Have
you considered your fans' feelings?
From my contact with them and their letters, I find that my fans are quite an understanding and cultured lot. Since I have made my decision, I believe they will be happy for me if they truly support me. Do you have anything else to say to them? I want to say to them: Those who are studying concentrate on your studies, those who are working , work conscientiously.
