Wilson Lee Shing-kan (65) recently retired from the Ontario Municipal Board as its Vice Chair where he wrote Ontario laws on land use, housing and urban planning. He was the recipient of the OBA Award for 2016.
Don’t ask me what OBA stands for. Probably it means the Obama award but Canadians don’t know how to spell. Or it could mean the Ontario Bar Association.
But he still kept up his high-brow interest in film and literature, stating his prejudiced opinions on the film “The Darkest Hour” (on Churchill’s war years), the literary works of 钱锺書, and how the Chinese term “風流“ should be translated. I should have asked him how he would translate the title of the Chinese film into English – 恨鎖瓊樓.
