Both carry social and personal meanings, how they were used, their scratches broken parts some objects are in good shape; they are discarded because the users change their taste. These old objects signify collective memories and personal meanings that are absent in newly bought objects. This is why I am fascinated with old objects. These old objects inspired my imagination.

Photographs of these objects are composed to become a series of images, they’re printed onto the walls in the MTR station like of museum of images
宋皇臺站藝術品《大地陶詞》Artwork “Earth Song” at Sung Wong Toi Station
Artist Fiona Wong presents a modern interpretation of the aesthetics of the Song Dynasty, recreating paintings from the time with ceramic sculptures, illustrating the stunning beauty of the ever-changing seasons. It means a lot to represent the aesthetics of the Song Dynasty at this particular station right here at this location, a few dozen metres underground an ancient, Song Dynasty town was excavated….. Originally I wished to integrate the archaeological finds in my work, Eventually, all factors considered I distilled the Spirit of these artefacts as my inspiration for a brand new contemporary piece. The final work will be located at the platform on four pillars, the work comprises two sets One set is about day and night another is about spring and winter the four works are all based on Song Dynasty paintings including “ Studies of the Properties of Water” By Ma Yuan “ Traveller Among Mountains and Stream” By Fan Kuan These significant Chinese paintings inspired the work. It depicts the passage of time, the contrast between day and night between the seasons the vitality in spring versus the solitude of a snowy winter. I hope the piece can represent the aesthetics of the Song Dynasty and offer busy passengers an aesthetic experience and reconnect them with history

Recently on 15th August 2021 The suborbital space travel vehicle of Zhongke Aerospace based in Guangzhou City – China- People’s Republic of China adopts a combination of a single-stage rocket and a tourist capsule. The rocket diameter is 3.35m, equipped with 5 15t liquid oxygen kerosene engines, the take-off thrust is 75t, and the take-off mass is 70t; the tourist capsule has a diameter of 3.35m and a height of 3m. , 4 panoramic portholes, a single flight can take 7 passengers.
中科宇航Zhongke Aerospace located in Room 1201, 12th Floor, Building 6, No. 18, Kechuang 13th Street, Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone, Beijing- China – People’s Republic of China…. is the first domestic mixed-ownership commercial aerospace enterprise jointly initiated and established by the core team of the Aerospace Flight Technology Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Mechanics. Achievement transformation, providing aerospace launch services. The core team is a leading expert in the domestic aerospace field, with strong technical strength, rich experience in rocket engineering development, and familiarity with the domestic commercial rocket market. Its first-type rocket carrying capacity is second to none in the domestic solid carrier rocket. At present, the first-stage engine of the first-type rocket has passed the ground interview vehicle. It is expected that the first flight will succeed with high certainty. In addition, Zhongke Aerospace has deployed a series of models such as solid-liquid hybrid and liquid rockets. In the future, it will form an echelon launch capability that can meet various needs such as constellation networking, patching, and space station delivery.
At present, Zhongke Aerospace has completed the demonstration test of the launch vehicle recovery principle prototype and the full-system test run of the 15-ton “Xuanyuan” liquid rocket engine, and is developing a new generation of reusable liquid launch vehicle and returnable travel cabin. It is planned to carry out the first suborbital flight demonstration test in 2022, unmanned suborbital flight in 2023, and suborbital tourism service from 2024. It is estimated that nearly 1,000 passengers can be transported into space every year. With the continuous improvement and adjustment of space tourism prices, the “popularization” and “flightization” of space tourism are expected to become a reality.
The landing site for the launch and recovery of the aircraft will be planned and constructed as a whole with the aerospace theme park, space experience hall and aerospace science education base. Passengers will receive short-term training here before flying. During the 10-minute flight, passengers will cross the von Karmen curve at a height of 100km and experience the weightlessness of getting rid of the gravity of the earth in 3 minutes. Finally, the travel cabin landed safely by parachute, and the passengers returned to the earth safely. At present, there are about 500 people who have entered the moon, space stations and sub orbitals in the world. According to international practice, passengers participating in suborbital tourism can be awarded the title of “astronaut”.
At the same time, the aircraft is designed strictly in accordance with the manned aerospace specifications. Even if it fails, the travel cabin uses its own engine system to escape, push the travel cabin away from the rocket, and activate the self-landing system to return to the ground safely.
