The recent good deed of Luke Ching Chin-wai, the local artist, hits Tai Po district. He placed a “common” basketball in the public basketball court in Tai Po and wrote “Common basketball, a gift to Tai Po neighborhood”. This sweet move was admired by the neighbors.
Luke said things are not smooth at first, he bought the basketball before school gets off. When Luke shared his idea of placing a “common” basketball in the court, Luke’s daughter refused to do so and indicated that the basketball will be stolen once putting in the public area.
As a father, Luke wanted to teach his daughter the meaning of sharing. Instead of giving up the idea of sharing the basketball, Luke suggested to buy a new basketball for her and shared the basketball with words to the Tai Po neighborhood. At last, daughter put the “common” basketball on the storage shelves personally which made Luke so touched.
Luke educated the value of sharing through “The Common Basketball” move. He had also created a harmonious atmosphere for the community. Luke is an active local artist, mainly in the form of conceptual art creation. He uses acute observation to present societal issues in contemporary art.
