Theme: Overcoming Difficulties Together and Achieving Success

Her daughter helped her overcome difficulties at work from time to time, such as liaising with her mother's work partners on the phone, standing in for her mother as a painting teacher when her mother was extremely busy and working together with her mom to complete large-scale mural paintings. Dan Hung also guided her daughter when she encountered design issues. Both mother and daughter complement one another, communicate, encourage and collaborate with each other, which turns them into reliable partner in daily life and at work offering support and momentum. Dan Hung's artworks received great recognition and were used by different government organisations and social welfare groups too.

Yee Ching and her brother played together, worked together to carry heavy items for their mother, took care of each other, and even hugged each other when taking a nap.
