The famous painting "Good Times" shows the portraits of more than 300 important figures from China and Hong Kong. The painter outlines their different smiling faces. In a cheerful atmosphere, they celebrate the return of Hong Kong in 1997. Each person has a smiling face, and some are full of pride and enthusiasm. Some are graceful, some are reserved and reserved...but it was him - Uncle He. His smile was the most difficult to draw, which made the artist hesitate to start the painting, and he had to change it again and again.

"It is indeed difficult to describe Uncle Ho's smile. In the two photos he gave us, his smile was not big. So, I thought about it carefully and found that the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned. With his eyes narrowed, he completed the first draft. Later, he gave me another photo, and he understood it. Finally, after three revisions, He Bo's smile appeared vividly on my canvas. Author and painter Liu Yuyi said.

Liu Yuyi's writings contain the grand scene of Hong Kong, a metropolis where elites gather. In addition to the five major families such as the Ho family, there are also Tung Chee Hwa, Li Ka-shing, Gong Nina and so on. However, among the many portraits, the artist said that the one that left the most profound impression was that of Uncle He who loved to wear Tang suits and wore a flat top.
