To tie in with the Chinese People’s Police Day on January 10 and Lunar New Year, the National Security Department (NSD) collaborates with Offbeat and the Hong Kong Police Painting and Calligraphy Club (HKPPCC) in organising an event named “NScript New Year in Calligraphy”, including a pop-up store at Police Headquarters (PHQ) and Police Sports and Recreation Club (PSRC) as well as this OffBeat issue’s complimentary fai chun to pay tribute to officers and celebrate the Lunar New Year with citizens.
Pop-Up Store
Date and venue:
(1) M/F, Arsenal House West Wing, PHQ : January 10 - 13 (Tue to Fri)
(2) PSRC : January 14 - 18 (Sat to Wed)
Time : 9am to 6pm
Content: Officers may write phrases and/or sentences to commend the Force or express blessings of Lunar New Year, with either a traditional writing brush on a red paper or with an electronic writing brush on a “smart calligraphy desk”. They can take away their handwritten or printout scripts. Members of HKPPCC will also demonstrate and render assistance on the spot.
Fai chun of limited edition
To thank the contribution and hard work of Force members over the year, the current issue of OffBeat will come with two pieces of fai chun of limited edition. NSD has cordially invited Commissioner Siu Chak-yee and Deputy Commissioner (National Security) Lau Chi-wai to write calligraphy for the fai chun, wishing our country security and stability, and the citizens peace and contentment in the coming year. The Force will keep protecting the country and Hong Kong with professionalism.
