Review

Shuang Xi – The sculpture is an ancient Chinese pattern. People call it “Shuang Xi” in Mandarin.  The pattern is the major decoration to traditional Chinese wedding banquet and it symbolizes double blessing to the bridegroom and bride. Nowadays, as our lifestyle and culture is changing rapidly, it gives tremendous impact to traditional Chinese marriage concept. After all, how does the ideal marriage look like in our inner world now? Today, as “Shuang Xi” is exhibited on the land of Venice Lido, I would like to send my heartfelt blessing to all couples all over the world. 

To my beloved wife Kelly Kuan.
