The Chinese character Fu (福) symbolizes happiness, blessings, and good fortune. In China, it is a tradition to display this character on doors or windows during the Spring Festival to welcome the Chinese Lunar New Year, which falls on February 5 this year. This act is believed to bring good fortune. In Chinese culture, the "Five Blessings" or "Five Good Fortunes" encompass longevity, wealth, health, composure, love of virtue, and the wish to pass away peacefully in old age.

The character Fu (福) represents "fortune" or "good luck" and is a prevalent Chinese tradition associated with the Chinese New Year, often found on the entrances of numerous Chinese households worldwide. As the Lunar New Year approaches – this year on February 12 – families in China typically hang an upside-down 'fu' symbol on their front doors, symbolizing luck and the hope for good fortune.

As a tribute to prosperity, I felt compelled to create an artwork. Residing in Singapore, I immerse myself in various cultures and have many local friends. This French-Chinese calligraphy version is dedicated to them and my new home, Singapore.
