You might have heard of the story of “Xavier Anonyme” , the label of the wine .
This time the story is about an artist.
Hongky girl is a negative term implying : vain, rude, pragmatic and “ Princess Syndrome “. I guess it all depends on different vintages . From 70’s to 90’s there is still a big bunch of kind, faithful , diligent , traditional and scarifying women in
HK deeply suppressed by Chauvinism.
The heroine of our story was born in the 60’s, a very talented girl married to a truck driver who kept concubine in China during the 90’s which was common place in the era. She was battered for decades by her Chiuchowese husband all through her marriage and suffered from depression. So depressed that she has got cancer. She has been well taken care under our welfare system.
When I first saw her paintings and calligraphy, I cannot believe that she is just a beginner.
She has got 2 sons, one of them are still studying in the college. Imagine, under this family background , they have a miserable childhood.
What is all this mumble jumble about ?
I just want to help because she is an alumni of my primary school. I guess materials to her is nothing at this stage of life. I would like her to be remembered as a very talented artist instead of an abandoned wife living in melancholy . It will be meaningful to the cubs. I would like her to know that she is not alone and to recognize her self value, let her know that her works can be powerful and to energize her to fight cancer.
We are hosting a charity silent auction of her works for this anonym, during the tendering, a wine lunch with wine sponsored by Tina Cellar will be served. Guests will enjoy back vintages of Xavier Anonyme Chateauneuf du Pape and half price discount for on spot purchase of all Xavier Vins wine. All income of the paintings and 50% of wine profit will be contributed to the anonym artist who needs our encouragement to pick up her brush again and to fight cancer.
Join me please to wash the name of Hongky Girls.

也許你已經聽過夏維雅《無名氏》這個葡萄酒，今次的故事是關於一個藝術家。
港女是一個負面的名詞暗示了：虛榮，粗魯，功利主義以及公主病。
我想這應該視乎不同的年代。在六零及七零年代仍然有很多和善，忠誠，勤奮，傳統和具備犧牲精神的婦女在香港仍然深深地受到沙文主義的迫害。
故事的主人翁是生於六零年代，一個天才橫溢的女孩嫁了給一個在國內包養情婦的貨櫃車司機。這種情況在九零年代十分普遍。
在她的婚姻當中，她數以十年計的被潮州丈夫嚴重虐打，並患上嚴重的抑鬱症。現時她身患癌症並受到社會福利系統的照顧。
當我首次看見她的繪畫和書法，我門外漢的身份，無法相信她只是個初學者。
他有兩個孩子其中一個還在唸大學；可以想像在這種家庭背景下他們的童年是十分似悽苦。
羅羅嗦嗦的想說什麼?
我只想為這位盡一點綿力。我想物質對她來說，在這個生命的階段中已不算是什麼。我想日後他人會想起這位無名氏時，是一個才華橫溢的藝術家而不是一個慘情的棄婦。
我想這對他的孩子來說也很有意義，我想讓她知道，她不是孤立無援的；想她重新認識自己的價值，並讓她知道她的作品十分之有感染力。希望這可以鼓勵她振作再次執筆和抗癌。
我們將會為這位無名氏的作品舉辦一個慈善暗標拍賣會午餐。 投暗標的同時有品酒午宴，葡萄酒由天娜酒窖贊助 。賓客可以嚐到夏維雅《無名氏》教皇新堡老年份佳釀，以及以半價購買夏維雅莊的佳釀。拍賣繪畫和書法的收入，還有即場售賣夏維雅葡萄酒的一半收益，全數會捐給這位需要我們鼓勵的藝術家。
請參與這次為港女洗刷污名的活動。
