EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and heartwarming photo, a woman in Hong Kong is captured with an infectious smile as she poses next to a Valentine's Day cut-out displayed outside a bustling shopping mall. The image was taken on February 12,2014, just two days before the much-anticipated Valentine's Day celebration. What makes this particular year even more special for businesses in China is that Valentine's Day coincides with the Chinese Lantern Festival, also known as Chinese Valentine's Day. This rare occurrence happens only once every 19 years according to the Chinese calendar. The atmosphere surrounding this momentous day can be felt through the woman's joyful expression and her interaction with the festive cut-out. The bright red hearts symbolize love and affection while adding a touch of romance to the busy cityscape of Hong Kong. Philippe Lopez skillfully captures not only the essence of Valentine's Day but also highlights how different cultures intertwine their traditions. This offbeat illustration showcases Asia's unique blend of modernity and tradition. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded of love’s universal language that transcends borders and brings people together from all walks of life. It serves as a reminder that no matter where we are in the world, love remains an essential part of our human experience.
