Macau has rich cultural environment bringing more potential
artists
This year, the competition has extended to Macau. Coincidently,
the winners of both sections come from Macau. Mr. Kan
is not surprised with the result. Though both Hong Kong
and Macau were once under colonial rule, the cultural
environment is totally different.
Affected by the English, Hong Kong's cultural environment
tends to be more rational, without emphasis on art and
culture. Hong Kong people are more pragmatic and materialistic;
their pace of life is fast. Whilst, the Portuguese culture
has affected Macau, they tend to be more emotional and
passionate, and their lifestyle is more relax. Prior to
returning to China, the Portuguese government emphasized
the development in cultural, travel and
entertainment aspects. Potential artists have always been
there, they need more cultural exchange opportunity.
