The expressions of the children are well captured: one is eagerly anticipating the Beijing Olympics which will be held in 2008, one is missing home. So contrasting are the two boys in warm clothings in different pictures, one in blue with red chest covers and the other in just red sweater buttoned up to the neck. The cold rarefied heights are suggested by the peaks in the back. This is a double portrait offer from the sketchbook of Chang Fee Ming in his peregrination traversing along the mighty Mekong. Chang Fee Ming is one of the most accomplished artists dedicated to watercolours, pushing the parameters of expression and techniques. His string of accolades include Sime Darby Art Asia Award (Gold / Overall Asean Prize, 1985), Malaysian Watercolour Society Award (1984 and 1985), PNB Malaysian Art Competition (1st Prize, 1985); and the Malaysian Young Contemporaries Award (Minor, 1986 and 1987). He also received Awards of Distinction from the Rockport Publishers USA (1997) and Dom Perignon Malaysia (1999). He was the co-winner (Malaysia) of the Winsor & Newton World Millennium Competition in 1999.
