While many youngsters would just play computer games, they could also try calligraphy. Calligraphy is a very restful and meditative activity that could benefit our mental health.

There are different kinds of calligraphy – Chinese calligraphy and Western styles such as copperplate, Spencerian and Gothic. There are basic tutorials online and you can start with simple equipment like a pencil and paper.

Go postal the Hong Kong way

I have always found Hongkong Post staff to be extremely courteous, helpful and of cheery disposition. But imagine my immense surprise when on February 9, a Sunday, a Hongkong Post staff member showed up to make a delivery!

In the current challenging situation, when the city is gripped by panic and many people are paralysed with fear and sitting at home, it is incredibly reassuring to see the postal service out and about, even on a Sunday. That they are conscientiously clearing their backlog and upholding their reputation is admirable and inspiring.

This is exactly the type of positivity and professionalism that Hong Kong needs to stay resilient amid any crisis.
