这真是个美好的夜晚。
In the beginning of this year, my tailor in Beijing Rui Fu Xiang, a two hundred year old brand called me. She told me that the seamstresses were out of job because of the lockdown.
So although I already have a lot of gowns and clothes, I ordered a couple more.
几天前，这些袍子抵达新加坡。今晚，我穿上其中一件。
A few days ago, the gowns arrived Singapore. And I am wearing one of them this evening.
几乎所有的华人都知道，这袍子上绣的便是关公。
All Chinese would know this person who is embroidered on this gown. He is one of the most popular deity god of the Chinese. The Guan Gong.
关公是华人最喜欢的神，最景仰的英雄。我们尊称他为“关圣帝爺”。为什么？两个原因。
Why is Guan Gong the most popular deity god and hero of the Chinese? For two reasons that doesn’t seem to have any correlation.
首先，他代表了一种美德，叫“义”。还有，他也是一位“财神”，掌管“偏财”，意外之财。
First for the virtue of “Yi” that he represents. Second for the fact that he is a god of prosperity, especially those of unexpected wealth.
什么是“义”？“义”对华人来说，不用多加解释。对不讲中文的人，却很难解释。
What is the virtue of “Yi”? It is a term very difficult to explain to a non Chinese speaking person.
简单来说，“义”是人与人之间的责任。特别是兄弟之间，朋友之间互相照顾的责任。
“Yi“ is a virtue to describe duty in a relationship, especially relationship between brothers and friends.
一个人有情有义，便有了君子本色。就算他身份卑微，我们也打从心里尊敬他。
一个人要是无情无义，那怕是王公贵族，我们也认为他是“小人”。
我们还认为义是有能量的。“忠孝仁义”里头，我们不说“忠气”、不说“孝气”、不说“仁气”，却说“义气”。正如我们说“正气”、“旺气”、“乾坤之气”。
And Chinese even think that the virtue of “Yi” has power and strength. And thus we coin the word “Yi” with the word “Qi”（energy), to create the word “Yi Qi”.
And what does Yi Qi got to do with “friendships”, and with the art and fashion this evening? Almost everything you see tonight.
因为义气，我们接受中国中央电视台的邀请，成为三千五百年以来，第一个在万里长城上展览艺术作品的画家。虽然在当时，许多人认为这是个不赚钱的决定。
It is because of Yi Qi, that we accepted the invitation of China CCTV to exhibit my feng shui art at the Great Wall of China, at the time of the lockdown when doing so doesn’t seem to make any economic sense. And some of my paintings exhibited at the Great Wall of China are now exhibited here tonight.
因为义气，我们到新加坡各个地点，以云端画展的方式，介绍我的艺术，介绍赞助人（法国罗兰百悦香槟），也介绍这些地点上的企业（把生意带给他们）。我们把这个计划叫《廊外有画》。
And because of Yi Qi, I called up my friends from different parts of the world because we suffered the same fate and I wish to bring business to them. And our Art Beyond Museums travelled to Penang, Bali Indonesia, Philippine, London and Beckmingham, and now moving to the bottom of The Himalaya at Laos, Thailand，Kuala Lumpur and Paris.

因为我们在世界各地认识了许多有义气的朋友，疫情前我们在14个地点展览风水艺术，而在疫情之后我们己在78个地点展览风水艺术。而这个数字是每个星期持续增长。
And because we know many friends all over the world who possess the virtue of Yi Qi, before Covid we exhibited our feng shui art in 14 places, after covid we exhibited in 78 places. And this number is expanding and increasing every single week.
我们《廊外有画》泰国及寮国版，庞幸德博士及幸凯恩先生，今晚也在这里。
Our host and curator in Art Beyond Museum Laos & Thailand Series, Dr. Ponsinh Toto & Mr. Singkham are also here with us.
Each of these paintings you see this evening is born out of Yi Qi, our duty to care for our brothers and friends all over the world, and the Yi Qi our friends and brothers all over the world have towards us.
还有今晚把这个画展制作出来的团队，也是由一群讲“义气”的客户及追随者组合成的。
Of course, the team that produces this art exhibition and fashion show is formed by a team of clients and followers who have ‘Yi Qi’within them.
Is there any wonder why the same god who represents Yi Qi is also the same god who governs the unexpected wealth?
疫情之前，我们一年卖8张画，疫情之后，我们一年卖88张画。
Before the pandemic, we sold about eight paintings a year, but when pandemic strikes we sold 88 paintings a year.
因为“义气”而为我们付出的人，也在许多方面变得更加富裕。
And the people who have contributed to us because of Yi Qi become wealthier in many sense.
爱力克先生告诉我，他身体里头流淌着八分之一的华人血统，可是就算没有这八分之一的血，他也是个很有义气的人。疫情前后，他十分支持我。我的许多风水画都是画在他为我编织的丝布上的。他把色彩鲜艳的服装带给我们的客户。他把我的画带到景色怡人的非洲马达加斯加和法国巴黎。
因为义气，我们才能建立坚定的友情。因为义气，我们享受着意想不到的财富。
Yes. The virtue of Yi qi brings about long term trustworthy friendship . Yi Qi creates beautiful colors. Yi Qi also creates the power of unexpected wealth.
Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy the celebration of Yi Qi, the friendship of prosperity and elegance.
