Edward LiWallis WangGood fortune will return to HSBC in mid-December - 49 days after the two lions had their eyes painted red, says feng shui master Edward Li Kui-ming. During the unveiling ceremony, feng shui master David Lung dotted the eyes of the lions to "awaken" them and offered a blessing. The design of HSBC Main building on Des Voeux Road - by world-renowned British architect Norman Foster - has been criticized by feng shui masters in Hong Kong for a long time. Li, who was not at the ceremony yesterday, said painting red dots on the lions' eyes would infuse spirits into the statues and empower them. He said the building is located in Hong Kong's "dragon vein" - a place that should be preserved, according to feng shui.
