<p>“Super Speed!” proclaims Anne Wang Liu when asked which superhuman ability she would choose. A self-proclaimed multitasker, she has mastered the art of operating at speed as she juggles motherhood and her life passions one day at a time. </p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Despite her glamorous appearance – arriving in a monochromatic light-brown and skin-tone semi-formal ensemble, high block-heeled pumps in the same colour tone, jewellery from her own accessory line and gleaming black locks in relaxed big curls – more than anything she seems a diligent, efficient mum making sure everything is under control. We meet on a highly changeable summer’s day – beautifully clear at first, then gloomy and raining – a weather pattern that locals proudly claim is unique to Hong Kong. Yet for Wang Liu, it’s all about perspectives.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p> “Ah, the weather! One of the few things in life we people cannot control, right?” she says, as she smiles brightly and poses for the camera despite raindrops splattering her yellow garden dress. “That’s the thing, whatever circumstance we are put into, it’s about making things work and overcoming it.”</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Raised on the outskirts of New York City, young Anne completed an economics degree at Cornell University, then embarked on a career in finance. She has contributed her planning abilities to a number of causes since she and her husband, Julian Liu – whom she met at college – moved to Hong Kong two decades ago, including Hong Kong Ballet and Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centre, which marks its 10th anniversary here.</p>

<p>Wang Liu is a familiar face of the city’s social scene and one of the most well-loved Hong Kong socialites. Apart from being blessed with impeccable style, her vibrant personality makes her easy to like. Joining the Board of Governors of Maggie’s nine years ago reflected her selflessness and determination to give back to the community.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>“When I first became involved with Maggie’s, I had friends and family who were fighting cancer and I felt that Hong Kong lacked the facilities that were needed to support patients,” she says. “Yes, we have the doctors, but social support is very important in fighting the disease. Maggie’s has a multidisciplinary team, including oncology specialists, social workers, clinical psychologists and registered dietitians to provide free, practical, emotional and psychosocial support to people touched by cancer.”</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>By peeling off the layers to unveil her rawness, Wang Liu moves beyond the superficiality of being judged by how she might dress for events or appear on the social pages of magazines. She goes deeper by nurturing the inside – a mindset that reveals her beautiful soul.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fayre of Heart</h3>



<p>The first Maggie’s opened in Edinburgh in 1996 as a new type of care centre that would make the experience of cancer more manageable for everyone. It was conceived by the late Maggie Keswick Jencks – who had spent her early years in Hong Kong – following the return of her breast cancer. The Hong Kong centre was built in the grounds of Tuen Mun Hospital in 2013 with the support of the Keswick Foundation.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>As she explains, it does not have government funding and depends solely on grants and donations to continue its work: “We have an upcoming event in December, the Fayre of St John’s, with all proceeds from individuals and businesses going to cancer patients and their families. I am involved very much as the fundraising committee co-chair to raise public awareness and funds for the event.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>“Ultimately, the aim is to ensure that Maggie’s has the resources it needs to provide high-quality care and support to people affected by cancer. The fundraiser brings families together for a night of song and gives a face to those suffering from cancer,” she adds.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Strength All-Around</h3>

<p><br>As we shoot the third look, the production team is fanning an ethereal goddess-like green gown with long trails on the shoulder to give an angelic wing effect for the photos. Humming the chorus of Bette Midler’s Wind Beneath My Wings in between makeup touch-ups, our equally angelic model reiterates the fact that a strong support system plays a crucial part in life.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>“My parents taught me the need for a parent to always support their children’s emotional well-being and to create an environment where my children feel safe and confident,” she says.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>“My parents provided me with the opportunity to engage in many different activities. I led an active childhood, participating in sports, dance, music, student government and community service. They allowed me to pursue my personal and intellectual curiosity. Moreover, they taught me the importance of close familial ties and having a supportive group of friends.”</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Acing Motherhood</h3>



<p><br>It’s a philosophy she applied while raising her two daughters, Madeline and Audrey. Despite her busy schedule, she finds time to be the cool mum she wants her kids to have. Just days before the shoot, she scored much-coveted Taylor Swift Eras Tour concert tickets for the three of them.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>“It was crazy! Super” she shares excitedly, the way one would with teenage peers. “I made sure we got the chance to watch Taylor Swift because both of my girls are huge fans. And now, I am too.”</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>When asked how old her daughters are now, she laughs quickly and says: “Next question.” Still chuckling, she proudly continues to tell her story about motherhood and how she managed to raise them just the way she wanted it to be.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>“I am focused on teaching them what’s right and wrong, and luckily, they’ve turned out to be quite self-motivated. So, I don’t need to guide them as much anymore. Things are now reversed and they are guiding me,” she says.</p>

<p>Exemplifying her belief in giving back to the community and helping the next generation, as co-chair of the Hong Kong Ballet Guild, she devotes her time to making the artform accessible to youngsters from different backgrounds. The annual Nutcracker Christmas Benefit, a fundraising event she considers to be one of her most significant career accomplishments, holds a special place in her heart as both her daughters have performed numerous roles over the years.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>“I have watched them grow up on the stage,” she says. “Self-expression in performing arts is paramount. It allows individuals to convey emotions, stories and perspectives uniquely. This creative outlet fosters personal growth, empathy and cultural understanding, enriching both the artist and the audience. It&#8217;s a vital means of connecting and communicating in a diverse world.”</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>As she journeys through life learning about what she loves and embracing every moment of it, she knows that it’s a continuous process. </p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>“My mother and sister have been a constant source of inspiration and support. Both are professional working moms that have been able to balance careers while raising a family. My children have been a constant inspiration and remind me to stay curious, adventurous and young at heart.”</p>

<p>We finish the shoot and interview, typically a four-hour marathon, in just 90 minutes, and she moves seamlessly into discussions with Maggie’s staff to finalise their upcoming event. While she may not possess the superhuman power of super speed, she truly does a lot and always from the heart. Anne Wang Liu has a million obligations, personal and professional, and she gets an A+ for them all.</p>

Ministering Angel: Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centre & Hong Kong Ballet champion Anne Wang Liu does all she can from the heart


<figure class="wp-block-video"><video autoplay controls src="https://www.igafencu.com/video/2308/2308_GMHK_Interview_Hanslo.mp4"></video></figure>



<p>The Lai Chi Kok docks in West Kowloon, sheltered by the protrusion of land that is Stonecutters Island, is not a popular destination for most locals. At the very end of a three-minute walk through a labyrinth of rebars, tower cranes, a manually built wooden bridge and all things industrial, sits a luxury yacht, visible enough through the help of orange and white flags. This is where Hans Lo has chosen to meet.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>“Yachting is a luxury business, but behind its glamour lies a lot of hard and physical work. Come right in,” says the yacht builder as he welcomes our team aboard.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>As a fifth-generation member of the Lo family, who began their craft in Shanghai in the late 19th century, then moved Cheoy Lee Shipyards to Hong Kong in 1936, Hans shares in the legacy of helming the oldest shipbuilders in Hong Kong. The Los were also among the forerunners of fibreglass yacht construction, collaborating with Lloyd’s Register to create regulations for GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) boat construction back in the 1960s, and building the then-largest fibreglass yacht, the 130-foot Shango II, in 1975.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Cheoy Lee relocated its shipbuilding facility from Penny’s Bay to Zhuhai, China in 1996, and today is one of the producers of commercial vessels, considered the best in the world.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">

<p>A Queen’s University Civil Engineering alumnus, Hong Kong-born, Canadian-educated Lo confesses to starting at the bottom in the family shipyard – laying up fibreglass and helping with vacuum infusion on a few projects before moving on to other aspects of yacht building. He quickly grasped the process of a build, and over time took on a broader role; he became Deputy Director of CL Yachts – the pleasure-craft arm of the parent company – in 2019.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Lo spent a large portion of his youth at the Cheoy Lee facility, returning during summer vacations after his family settled in Vancouver when he was seven years old. “Growing up, my family and I would go to bai san by boat, and as a kid, I thought that was just normal for everybody,” he says. “It was only later on that I realised the reason we were doing this is because our family builds ships. It’s very much a part of our life.”</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>True to his great-great-grandfather’s visionary roots, Lo is not standing still; he is thinking grand-scale for CL Yachts. “In 10 years, I hope we’ve established ourselves in Hong Kong and Australia – our biggest targets right now in terms of yacht sales,” he says.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>His 10-year plan has already commenced. At their production facility, they are currently developing an innovative commercial project involving carbon fibre and hybrid technology for a more sustainable approach to the yacht industry – a move towards a greener carbon footprint.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Stance and Ballast</h3>



<p>Now 40, the millennial engineer has grey hairs perfectly sprinkled through both sides of his crew cut; and he embraces them, saying: “Age is just a number and we should be proud of it. As we age, we collect learnings and these make us a better version of ourselves. I’d like to believe that I am in my prime working potential.”</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>As we head out to sea for the photo shoot, he proudly shows us around their<a href="https://clyachts.com/range/clb65/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> flagship yacht CLB65,</a> hailing its development as CL Yachts&#8217; most significant career accomplishment to date. A striking departure from traditional motor yachts, the 19.7-metre craft has received prizes internationally for its creativity, adaptability and versatility. “What makes this project more special is that the interior design was conceptualised by my wife,” he notes.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="500" height="683" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/ACK4447-copy_p.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-76888" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/ACK4447-copy_p.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/ACK4447-copy_p-205x280.jpg 205w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/ACK4447-copy_p-200x273.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Jakcet by Zegna Trousers by Nanushka, courtesy of The Outnet Shoes by Ralph Lauren</figcaption></figure></div>


<p>The balancing of work and family time has always been smooth sailing for Lo, who uses the fact that he is part of a family business to his advantage. For him, family and work can be the same thing. However, he is changing things up a little to be a better dad and husband than the generation before him. Showing us a recent photo of himself, his wife and their two-year-old, he shares that his father was like an astronaut during his formative years.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>“Being a father was tough in my dad&#8217;s generation. He needed to travel back and forth to Canada, and it made seeing us difficult. I want to be around for my son as much as I can. Being present is important in a young&#8217;s child life,” he reiterates.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Wave Encounters</h3>



<p>Just as we are talking about alternative plans in life, Lo interrupts himself mid-sentence to rush to his yacht engineer, who has accidentally slipped down the stairs. As we make haste back to land, he says that every member of his team plays a crucial role in making the yacht-building business work. And so, to plan B we go – a two-hour photoshoot at the headquarters of CL Yachts where he discusses the nature of pleasure-boating in between outfit changes; with a laugh, he describes one ensemble as a boyband look.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Luxury yachting is, by definition, extreme and extravagant; some would say over the top. However, as he points out, there is a whole industry that supports the yachting sector and employs hundreds of thousands of hardworking people worldwide. “For us, there&#8217;s luxury in practicality. When you&#8217;re aboard our boats, you&#8217;ll find easy access to everything you want to do. Our boats are true sea-going vessels,” he explains.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="500" height="750" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/ACK4533-copy_p.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-76889" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/ACK4533-copy_p.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/ACK4533-copy_p-187x280.jpg 187w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/ACK4533-copy_p-200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Knitwear, trousers and shoes by Zegna</figcaption></figure></div>


<p>Surprisingly perhaps, and ironically, the peak of Covid brought a surge in sales. With people unable to travel and go places, many chose to invest in a yacht instead and discovered the joys of boating.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>“[The pandemic] was a huge obstacle that we all had to overcome. But that’s just life. There are always going to be hurdles in our way, and we are always going have to pick ourselves up, go with the flow and with the waves,” he says, with a gleeful wink as he utters the last word.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>After the indoor shoot, Lo and the entire crew jump back onto the yacht to continue with the original plan. After a few shots on deck, he entertains a phone call – a glance at what his everyday life looks like, call after call, meeting after meeting. But he emphasises the importance of taking a break, once in a while.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="768" height="512" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/ACK4662-copy_p.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-76886" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/ACK4662-copy_p.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/ACK4662-copy_p-420x280.jpg 420w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/ACK4662-copy_p-200x133.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></figure></div>


<p>“We picked a good day to do the shoot and interview, didn’t we?” he proclaims, as the light of the 5 pm sun glints off his sunglasses. “We’re always due to pause and take a step back so that we can gain a new perspective on things going on in our lives. Working hard, earning money and investing in your future – these are for survival. Enjoying the finer things in life is for living.”</p>
