The Montreal Chinatown Gate displays a banner with four characters:
踵事增華.

These characters mean:
"Carry on Predecessors' Task and Make a Great Success of It."

This quote is taken from the Chinese literary work "Preface to Selected Works" from China's Southern Dynasty (502-557).

The artwork features three main parts: four big characters, inscription and signature (small characters), and four seals (stamps)
For full details about each part, see [here].

• The four big characters: 踵事增華
  • Ngan Siu-Mui choosed to use the same quote as the Chinatown banner since this quote truly highlights the overall contribution of Chinese immigrants in Montreal.
• In smaller characters, the inscription relating the artist's contribution to the artistic life in Montreal followed by the artist's signature.
• Four seals (stamps)

• Chinese Calligraphy in Running Script Style
