It was our privilege to collabrate with miss JuJu Chan during our photography workshop with Scott Robert in October of this year. I knew about JuJu from watching a Hong Kong reality TV series – “The Great Battle of a Wealthy Man Living in Proverty” (official name “窮富翁 大作戰”). I was so intrigued by her mission: to live in confine cage home for 7 days; then she has to work as a waitress in a cafe restaurant during the day and take care and provide tutor to a new immigrant kid – Simon at night. It’s an inspiring show and gave me a deeper level of understanding of a complex social problem in the Hong Kong – the huge gap between the poor and the wealthy. From watching this show, I also now have a new understanding of Simon’s Mom, how difficult it is for her to live as an immigrant and her struggles everyday just to bring home food and provide shelter for little Simon.
JuJu gave up her luxury living lifestyle for this one week journey; she not only helpped Simon to improve on his school works, she also continued to mentor him even after the show has ended. I truly think JuJu is not only a pretty pageant girl, she is such an sincere person who is willing to squeeze her precious time outside of work to help underprivileged kids. I think the HK entertainment industry need more people like her to be a role model for teens and children to learn from. HUGE PROPS for JUJU! You can watch her show from this youtube link here.
