In the history of entertainment in Hong Kong, the name Karen Mok is undoubtedly a household name. Yesterday (10th), the well-known Hong Kong singer appeared with his family at a celebration at the racecourse with a deep genealogical background.
Karen Mok brought her mother Ho Man-yee and her brother Morris as guests of the opening performance, and she showed off her singing voice and brought three moving songs to the audience. The trip was very meaningful to Karen Mok as it was the first time she had sung on such an occasion.
Despite her brilliance on stage, she humbly stated that she didn't plan to devote herself to betting on horses because she wasn't good at it. Karen Mok reminisced about the old days when she followed her father Mok Tianci to the racecourse. Mok is a member of the Jockey Club, and he used to swim and exercise here with Karen Mok.
Therefore, the horse farm is no stranger to her. Karen Mok's talent and sensibilities didn't come out of nowhere.
Her grandfather, Morris, was a well-respected educator who served as the first Principal of King's College and as the second Chief Superintendent of the Hong Kong St. John Ambulance Brigade, making an indelible contribution to the development of medical and health care in Hong Kong. In the New Territories, he was active in the construction of hospitals and clinics.
In 1945, Morris died of a heart attack at the age of 71. It is worth mentioning that Karen Mok's father, Karen Mok, is also a very influential individual. As a well-known food writer, he is well-versed in several fields, such as I Ching, Taoism, and even Feng Shui.
Mo Tianci not only wrote works such as "The Book of Heaven That Can Really Predict the Back Picture", but also shared the family's treasured dietary recipes in the book "Karen Mok's Beloved Family Heirloom Soup". He died in 2014 at the age of 76. Karen Mok's family continues to have a deep talent.
Her mother is an experienced media professional who has established herself in different media. And her older brother, Morris, with whom she shares a grandfather of the same name, is also an exceptional talent.
After completing his Juris Doctor degree at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, he taught at the University of Buckingham before returning to Hong Kong in 2001 to join Hong Kong Disneyland, where he promoted the development of 3D technology and curated the 3D exhibition "Life Transforms @loft22". In the field of literature, Morris also excelled.
In 2017, he published the mystery ** "Detective Fortune, the word Morse", which transferred the traditional Sherlock Holmes story to Hong Kong in the late Qing Dynasty, and was unanimously praised by readers and literary circles in the three regions of the Taiwan Strait for its novel ideas. In addition, in the Detective Ice Room's Mystery ** episode, Morris also included his short stories.
It can be seen that the Karen Mok family has demonstrated unique achievements in entertainment, education, literature and technology, highlighting the extraordinary talents of the family for generations.
