Cathay Pacific Campaign Attracts More than 3500 Entries
OREANDA-NEWS. August 29, 2013. Cathay Pacific’s “The Spirit of Hong Kong” campaign has resonated with the Hong Kong public, attracting more than 3,500 entries and 500,000 page views since its launch in late July.
The 50 entries that attracted the most votes from netizens in the first week of the campaign were announced on 15 August, with each winner receiving a pair of Cathay Pacific or Dragonair tickets. A total of 620 air tickets will be given away to 310 winners during the course of the campaign, including the “10 Champions” and “Top 100 Winners” categories.
Among the winners from the 50 most popular entries were Tsang Hin-wai and Chow Ho-wing, who shared their views on the Hong Kong spirit with media today. Ms Tsang has been a loyal customer of a traditional Hong Kong café in Shek O since she was young, enjoying milk tea prepared by the same elderly man at the shop for the past 20 years. She took a picture showing the man completely absorbed in making the milk tea. She said: “I chose this picture for submission because he is an icon for the Hong Kong spirit - focused, diligent and determined to excel in every task.”
Chow Ho-wing took a picture of more than 100 taxis lining up for customers at Hong Kong International Airport. “Taxi drivers are good listeners and resilient, just like other Hong Kong people,” Mr Chow said, adding that they get people to destinations in emergency situations, listen to people’s problems and dutifully serve Hong Kong‘s citizens. “They play an important role in building a harmonious society,” Mr Chow said.
Another winning work was created by designer Li Man-fung. The picture shows a calloused hand set against a backdrop of Hong Kong’s infrastructure. Mr Li said: “The working classes help build Hong Kong’s success with their bare hands. I want to put the spotlight on the real heroes who work behind the scenes. It’s thanks to them that we can enjoy a nice clean living environment and the amazing high-rise buildings of our city.” Li says the hand with rough skin represents the true spirit of Hong Kong – hard working.
