In memory of our father
我們很感謝Ada和香港人出版團隊替父親出版《念香港人的舊》、以及Sarah Greene與Sandy Choi的鼎力支持和參與這本書的創作，更感謝主辦單位的認同，很榮幸獲選為2017年的好書。
父親生前常說, 獎項除了是一種鼓勵, 更是某一方面的肯定。這本書是肯定了大眾對他的作品產生了共鳴，正如他在書中所說 : 「攝影是大眾藝術」 。他定會很想跟香港人分享這個獎項， 因為這本書的內容正是代表著父親對香港的緬懷及感情，亦道出了香港人的精神, 是個集體回憶。 今年六月是父親剛離開了我們兩年，相信在遠方的他也會非常高興。謝謝！
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Ada and WE Press for publishing our dad Fan Ho's Portrait of Hong Kong, to Sarah Greene and Sandy Choi for their participation and unwavering support, and to the judging panel for selecting this book as one of the best of 2017.
Dad always used to say, “An award is more than just an encouragement. It’s an affirmation.” This book affirms the fact that his works elicit resonance from the populace, just like what he had said in the book, "Photography is the art of and for the people." We believe he would really want to share this honor with the people of Hong Kong, because this book is indeed about his reminiscences of and affection for Hong Kong. It’s about the spirit of the people. It’s about collective memories. This June marks the 2nd anniversary of dad's passing. We are certain that he is beaming with joy from afar for receiving this accolade. Thank you.

優秀藝術作品的妙諦不在繁複，而在單純；不在雜多，而在齊一。
－何藩《街頭攝影叢談》
The essence of outstanding artworks is not complexity but simplicity, not multiplicity but wholeness.

沒有一種藝術媒介能像攝影那樣表現得十足肖妙自然，精確逼真，一成不變。
－何藩《街頭攝影叢談》
No medium of art can express and deliver like photography — strikingly natural, accurate and realistic.

《日暮途遠》“As Evening Hurries By”
「日暮途遠」是兼具氣氛與畫意的典例。
— 何藩《街頭攝影叢談》
"As Evening Hurries By" is an exemplary work of depicting both moody ambience and pictorial photography.
– Thoughts on Street Photography, Fan Ho
這是一片深邃幽遠的景色, 一個莊嚴肅穆的意象; 流露出悲觀哲學的感傷情懷, 正合「日暮途遠, 人間何世」的愴凉境界。此乃作者對現實世界通過凝神觀照, 達到心物交融的「畫境」時, 凝固了具有永恒性之一瞬間的畫意作品。— 何藩《街頭攝影叢談》
This is a heartfelt scenery with a gloomy background and a solemn imagery. It reveals sadness from one’s pessimism and sentimentalism which matches precisely the mood of desolation in “As Evening Hurries By, ……”. The artist, through intense contemplation of the physical world, had achieved a "pictorial realm" of amalgamated heart and matter, and had immortalized a moment in time of his picturesque creation. － Thoughts on Street Photography, Fan Ho

Happy Father's Day!｜父親節快樂!
On the Father’s day of 2016, we were deeply saddened by Dad’s passing. The preparation of the new book and the exhibition since then has been a healing process for us. We still feel the sorrow, yet he will forever live in our hearts, and we hope our gift comes just in time on this Father’s day.
We are grateful for the support from our relatives, friends and fans of our Dad. He would have been very happy. While seeking fame and fortune was never his priority, he would have treasured Forget Me Not.
Fan Ho’s Daughter and Son
2016年的父親節對我們來説是一個悲痛的日子，因爸爸就在那天離開了。這一年來準備新書及相展的工作是我們治療傷痛的旅程，今天雖仍感不捨，但覺得爸爸活在我們的心中，亦希望爸爸喜歡我們今年給他的父親節禮物。
萬分感謝各位親友及支持者對爸爸一直的擁䕶，爸爸一定感到欣慰。他從沒有冀求名成利就，只願大家「毋忘我」。
