Spring symbolizes new beginnings, hope, and vitality, while the ethereal presence of mist evokes a profound anticipation for life. To understand the aesthetics of traditional painting through imitation and emulation, I turned to Mi Youren’s Spectacular Views of the Xiao and Xiang Rivers. Renowned for its depiction of clouds and mist, it closely resembles Hong Kong’s rainy spring. Since childhood, I have disliked the damp, gloomy days of late spring. However, seeing Hong Kong floating gracefully amidst a sea of clouds this year instantly dissolved my old resentment. Spring Mist serves as the perfect chronicle of this personal transformation. 【春靄】，春天象徵新的開始、希望和⽣機，霧靄的氣韻唤起⼈們對⽣活的期盼。米友仁的《蕭湘奇觀圖》以雲霧⾒稱，仿似⾹港的春⾬時份; ⾃⼩不喜歡潮濕和陰暗的暮春三⽉，直至今年看⾒在雲海中蕩漾的⾹港，內⼼對春天的反感頓然消失; 【春靄】正好記錄了我的轉變。
