Please sculpture

Public Art: Please sculpture
Sculptor: © VAN Lau
Description: An enormous bronze sculpture of hands
clasped together. The sculpture protrays the common Chinese guesture of greeting. China has long been known as the
" Nation of Courtesy" and "Please" so this sculpture could be interpreted as a friendly reminder to people to be
courteous to one another, especially in this busy shopping district. It could also, to some, be interpreted as a
response to the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests, commonly known as the June Fourth Incident (just like the
Flying Frenchman sculpture).
Date Unveiled: 1989
Funded by: Radio Television Hong Kong and Rotary Club
of Kowloon West
Location: The Please statue is found on the footpath
outside the entrance to Kowloon Park from the Park Lane Shoppers Boulevard, Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon,
Hong Kong.
