( order of name used in Hong Kong and Italy
alias
Kam Fu Bernadette LEE-PISAPIA
(order of name used in Britain, Canada )
alias
Bernadette Kam Fu LEE ( maiden name)
LEE-PISAPIA, Kam Fu Bernadette
(order and form ( with a comma in between ) generally used in Hong Kong to distinguish
last name from first name)
Kam Fu Bernadette LEE-PISAPIA
(order generally used in Britain and Canada )
Bernadette is the writer as well as the publisher
the name chosen for the publisher ( not a registered company ) has two
formats:
LEE-PISAPIA, Kam Fu Bernadette ( Hong Kong format), or LEE-PISAPIA Kam Fu Bernadette ( Italian format) . Therefore, the comma in between does not mean two distinct individuals as it is used to distinguish the last name and the first name in the Hong Kong format. For the other format, capital letter has been used to indicate the LAST NAME from the first name.
( from 06/09/2023, the Italain format is officially transformed to LEE Kam Fu Bernadette coniugata PISAPIA . However, the fully extended writing of my hyphenated Last Name is still maintained as my Canadian and Hong Kong identity : Kam Fu Bernadette LEE-PISAPIA)

Once upon a time
the ancient Chinese
observed nature
with much patience
slowly
a line was born
to denote one aspect of nature
such as a simple horizontal
to represent the steady earth where he stood
then when he raised his head
the enormous sense of space overwhelmed him
ah
he , therefore, put a line above the steady horizontal beneath him
smaller in scale
perhaps right in the middle portion
on top, paralleling the steady line under his feet
to describe the vastnessness
of the sky
he stretched his arms from left to right
then with a kind of vertical which denotes his vetebrae,
and two diagonals which denote his open legs
he says
look
what is on top of my head
look
what is below
on top is the amazing kind of space
right above my head
hidden yet made known through a small horizontal line
below is the amazing kind of space
underneath my wide opened feet
how incredible is the sky above me
how incredible is the earth on which I stand
I could not tell you
how much I understand
the vastnessness
between the sky and the earth
but I am showing you with my full strength
with all the possible means
using the gesture of my body
Such was the story behind the first person
who used visual codes , together with his understanding
to tell a story
of his limited self
in an unlimted kind of space
A limit
without limit
Limitless
expressed with limited self
Such was a straight forward story
of the earliest concept
of the ideogram
Sky
in Chinese
every single Chinese has learned how to
write it
but most are taught only the techniques of making the lines beautiful
visual codes became
standardised
even aesthetic wise
Somehow
to unlearn that known standard
means to
recover
a poetic dimension
the one that embraced
the exciting discovery
of the single character
the Sky
( a hypothesis notbook II is a work in progress which began in 2013, registering various known notions yet by unlearning their accepted states of definitions, a new vision is born, perhaps more from an inner necessity than from a scholarly point of view- after the journey I chose to begin in 1982-on Chinese calligraphy, color and poetry )
