Quincy Wong Lee-man applies the same mental makeup to running his business as he does when competing with other athletes.迷你倉 The chairman of Convoy Financial Services Holdings (1019) believes that running a marathon and operating a business is the same - you cannot stop. "You can't stop even when you need to crawl. Because once you stop, you stop. And then, you will think how to quit," he said. "The chances of success diminish if you give yourself too many excuses." Wong has taken part in marathons held in the Sahara Desert and the North Pole. He also enjoys hiking, an activity that has taken him to many places around the globe. But when it comes to his career and business, Wong becomes very serious. "In the business field, when you are fighting hard, you don't have time to think or stop or take a break." But with his smart and clean look, Wong, 46, does not fit the mould of a typical executive who's in charge of the leading financial services company in Hong Kong. Sporting a well-tailored suit and a pair of round vintage spectacles, Wong looks more like a successful salesman, or an innovative entrepreneur. After graduating in Architecture Technology and Management in 1990, Wong began his career as a salesman selling financial products. He also worked for different financial institutions. But on noticing the market demand for wealth management products, Wong started his own company in 1997. "My thinking was simple at that time." he said. "If I bought a product and thought it was okay, then others might think the same thing!" A year later, Convoy, which focused on the general insurance business at that time, was looking for a business shift and merged with Wong's firm. From then onwards, Convoy began focusing on independent financial advisory services. From an initial 10 employees, Convoy gradually grew into one that now employs about 3,000 staff in Hong Kong and China. After weathering several tough times, it is now on more stable tracks. The firm survived both the SARS crisis in 2003, as well as the 2008 financial tsunami. Wong views "crisis" as a combination of "risk" and "opportunity." "Convoy was still making a profit in 2008, though the amount was less. So, we had growth," he said. Wong is also proud of not having to lay off any staff, and all reduction of employees has been purely due to attrition. Of course, the company has had to implement some belt tightening measures, such as spending less on advertising, he said. "However, we did not lay off staff because we care for our employees ... but we cut down on advertising." Wong further explained how the 2008 crisis turned out to be a blessing for Convoy - a time when people changed their impression of big corporate firms and focused their attention on smaller local companies like his. After all, people had a fundamental change in the concept of financial institutions, Wong said, adding that earlier, they used to think that it was better to buy insurance from big insurers and go to banks for all their banking needs. But now people's thinking has changed, he said, adding that earlier they would say, well, these are merely financial institutions. "If they are doing the same business like we are, people will begin to value companies by their professional standards and have confidence in that company." In a bid to raise the quality of its business standard, Convoy applied self- regulatory procedures years back. "While regulations are getting stricter after the Lehman Brothers minibonds saga, Convoy's business is generally not affected," he said. A case in poi自存倉t is the sales recording that was being done at Convoy even before regulations were imposed compelling such procedures at all financial institutions, said Wong. The firm's propriety investment and money lending businesses started only in April this year. They have recorded a total revenue of HK$23.3 million and enjoyed a net profit margin of 76.1 percent and 13.7 percent respectively. Wong said the company's key to success is diversifying its business, and reducing its underlying risks. And for each business segment such as insurance, investment funds, or MPF, Convoy has various business partners to provide a range of products. "If A fails, there is B. If B fails, there is also C. After all, you can choose." There is also diversification in terms of region, and the mainland market is now Convoy's biggest goal. Wong said Convoy had invested a lot since 2009, when it first started tapping the mainland market. But it has also taken the firm a few years of trial-and-error to figure out the market. He likened the whole exercise to "dating a girl." The official "marriage" comes after the long "dating" and "understanding" stage, he said. Currently, Convoy has seven branches in different provinces in China, and most of them are the result of mergers and acquisitions that took place last year. Every place, according to Wong, has its own culture. "If a successful business model is to be replicated in other places, it would be a failure. Nothing is that easy." Wong explained the logic of moving into the mainland is [for customers] to ultimately come back to Hong Kong. "The goal is to build the Convoy brand, so that eventually mainlanders can come to Hong Kong Convoy to seek services, apart from shopping for luxury goods and buying baby formula." Wong believes the best way to know if a brand is successful in China is to find out whether there are any fake websites of the company. "Convoy has already had more than one in the mainland," he said. With the aim of expanding its client base in the China market, Convoy has hired 200 mainlanders who graduated from Hong Kong. "It takes time to build ... I don't believe in short-cuts," Wong said, adding, he hopes the mainland business will break even next year. After all these years, from beginning his career as a salesman and rising to the level of chairman, Wong believes in "being your own leader." "Regardless of your age and experience, people show confidence in you because of the impression you give them." Wong said mutual trust is the ultimate goal. "If they don't trust you, why will they buy your products? They can always choose to buy from another agent." And integrity is key to Convoy salespeople doing business in the field. "I will not ask people to buy the things I don't trust, only because I want to get the commission." Now as a decision maker, he does not only shoulder his own responsibility, but that also of his company. Wong said the road to success is built by oneself, regardless of how rich or poor your family is. "It's fine to depend on your family before you are 30. However, your life is solely yours after that. There's no one to be blame but yourself." He compared it to running, "Some will buy fancy shoes, but it doesn't mean they can run faster. Some even go in for full running gear but they give up after a few days of trying. In the end, all you can do is lean on yourself." This is also the reason why Wong does not have role models, because, as he puts it, action speaks louder than words. "If you believe in yourself, just act!" imogene.wong@singtaonewscorp.com 迷你倉

近日社會熱議應否控制人口增長減少房屋需求，迷你倉最平有人提出要限制每日150 個單程證配額，並改交香港審批。八十後「新移民」區議員張琪騰憶述，12 歲時由福建來港與家人團聚，不但言語不通，一家五口還要擠住板間房，感到很不習慣，直至獲配公屋生活才有改善。今以區議員身分協助新移民的他說，內地把「團聚關」其實很嚴，相信港人對內地人的負面情緒源自自由行的滋擾，建議政府控制自由行人數，雙方矛盾可望緩和。稱負面情緒源自自由行滋擾28 歲的民建聯觀塘區議員張琪騰是家中老么，父親與大姊早於1995 年來港，其後父親申請他、母親及二姊來港團聚，到1997 年一家終於團聚。來港時只12 歲的張琪騰，只懂說普通話及閩南語， 「一句廣東話都不懂」，英語僅識26 個英文字母，就算放棄升中一，改重讀小六也有困難，「在土瓜灣附近找了三四間小學都找不到， �學校一聽到你係新移民就唔考慮」。他們一家租住土瓜灣唐樓100 多平方呎的房間，廚廁皆與其他租客共用，居住環境與鄉下有很大差異，感到很不習慣，「福建的祖屋門前有空地及農地，那時候（來港後）連活動空間都無」。後來，他獲何文田勞工子弟中學取錄，入學後不少新移民同學互相扶持，他平日就透過電視及錄音機迷你倉廣東話， 「�時唔會話驚講錯廣東話畀人笑，所以講講下就識，繁簡對換都掌握」。他終克服英文等學習障礙，順利升讀城市大學社會科學，畢業後在政黨當地區工作，於2011 年參選區議會當選。SARS 抗疫增歸屬感張琪騰說，新移民其實很渴望融入香港社會，如他一家於2003 年入住油塘公屋，同年卻爆發SARS，地區需要大量義工協助抗疫，他便積極參與，培養出服務社區的志向， 「�時發覺自己終於適應�港人身分，可以幫助有需要�人，對社區有歸屬感」。稱內地單程證把關嚴針對近日有關新移民的爭議，他相信是港人難以接受自由行旅客造成太多滋擾，亦對新移民多了怨言， 「以前較少聽到話新移民落�就係倚賴政府、�政府�福利，但?家的確多�」。他說，所接觸的新移民其實希望自食其力，希望得到包容， 「香港係一個包容�地方，亦都係你肯努力就會有出路前途�地方」。他又說，內地審批每日150 個單程證配額其實把關很嚴，不認為要修改，他曾接觸有個案在內地等了五六年仍不獲批，更有內地妻子申請來港與丈夫團聚，其間丈夫突然病重只剩半年壽命，妻子懇求內地部門恩准提前來港也不獲批，令丈夫病逝也未可團聚。他相信要緩和矛盾，政府應�手控制自由行人數。明報記者黃俊鋒儲存

Source: Dayton Daily News, OhioSept.迷你倉 22--XENIA -- XENIA --Two high-ranking Greene County employees who oversee the county's budget and personnel will retire leaving the administration with a temporary void.Howard Poston, the Greene County administrator, plans to retire in February. Ken Johnson, the county's human resources director is leaving Sept. 30.Both positions have been posted on the county personnel website.The personnel office received 17 applications for the human resources position by the Aug. 19 deadline. The search committee wanted a larger pool of applicants to chose from, so the position has been advertised for a second time."The hope is that with a larger pool we may also increase the chance of finding more highly qualified and experienced applicants," said Johnson who is on the search committee with Poston and Lisa Hale, the county's risk management director.If a director is not selected before Johnson, who earns $84,780 annually, retires, the county administrator can appoint an interim director for the department."The organization is structured so that we have people who can pick up the slack, but we're going to be looking to hire the best qualified people," said Tom Koogler, a county commissioner. "They've worked hard. I wish them the best."The deadline to apply for the county administrator position is Oct. 14.Poston and Johnson, are two of 12 board of commissioners employees who plan to retire within less than a year, according to county data. The county commission board employs about 488 people.About 95 county workers, of an estimated 1,132 people who work for an office or department associated with a county elected official, have retired this year, according to data from the auditor's office.Johnson, 65, and Poston, 60, said they decided to leave their positions not long after they became eligible to retire. Johnson, who will have worked for the county for almost five years when he leaves at the end of September, said he has no plans to look for another job. Poston has not ruled out the idea."All options are open, but I probably won't get another job yet," Poston said.The administrator's and human resource director's plans to retire come 迷你倉ess than a year after two new commissioners took office. Freshman commissioners Koogler and Bob Glaser will be serving their second year when Poston leaves in six months."I believe the county is in a great financial position," Poston said. "It's in a great operations position right now. And that's when you want to leave. I think I've been able to, with the past commissioners, put the county in a very strong position and that's the time to leave. You can walk out with everything good."Greene County Commissioner Bob Glaser called Poston's decision to leave an "unfortunate surprise.""I don't think the average person understands the complexity of Howard's job," Glaser said. "Our budget for the county is $45 million dollars, but there's another $2 million that flows through our hands."Poston earns an estimated $132,488 annually in salary and benefits, according to data from the county auditor. He has worked with the county since 1990 when he was hired in the risk management department as a coordinator. He said the experience he gained working in this department helped him learn about other county departments and uniquely qualified him to move to the assistant county administrator position in 1997 and eventually the county administrator position in 2003.Poston's retirement plans come about a year and four months after two county commissioners signed a memorandum of agreement, effective April 2, 2012, that locked Poston into the county administrator position for three years. Poston was guaranteed a 2 percent annual salary increase. If Poston is terminated before the agreement ends, the county is required to pay him six months salary and continue his family health benefits for nine months after his employment ends. The agreement also requires Poston to give six month notice of his intent to end employment with the county."I can retire and it's time to let somebody else become county administrator," he said.--Online: For more news about Greene County, go to our website at MyDaytonDailyNews.com.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Dayton Daily News (Dayton, Ohio) Visit the Dayton Daily News (Dayton, Ohio) at .daytondailynews.com Distributed by MCT Information Services儲存倉

迷你倉 旅發局前主席、自由黨田北俊昨天在〈城市論壇〉披露，深圳近日已收緊「一簽多行」的執法尺度，出境者若一天內來往香港逾兩次，執法單位會詢問其出境理由，「如果返學，有理由畀你去；如果講唔出、(只是)去買�，就唔畀去。」新同盟范國威批評，目前內地遊客佔香港客源過度集中，推高通脹、排擠小店，促請政府停止「一簽多行」。田北俊說，「自由行」本身是利多於弊，有問題的是「一簽多行」，因為造成水貨問題。范國威建議特區政府收回每天150個名額的單程證審批權；時事評論員劉銳紹指出，香港可爭取參與審批過程增加透明度。惟田北俊表示，按《基本法》第22條，這屬中央的決定。自存倉

縱使橫風橫雨，迷你倉為了香港前途，我們今天仍會風雨不改，繼續討論香港十項全能的第二項：旅遊。要判斷香港旅遊業表現如何，最好指標肯定是同區高收入地區用腳投票的「同輩測試」(peer assessment)；而最苛刻又最好的評判不會是來自服務業水平較低的內地，而是和我們一樣奄尖企理、最有要求的新加坡人、文化修養極高的日本人和慣用最新科技的韓國人……星洲永久居民人口僅香港一半，大家猜猜究竟是獅城旅客訪港人次還是港人到訪星洲較多？答案是：2011年有多達79萬新加坡人來港，遠多於同年只有46萬港人訪星，即星洲人均訪港次數為港人訪星3倍！韓國人也是一樣：2012年有逾100萬韓國人訪港，而每年平均訪韓港人則只有35萬。日本人熱愛香港程度亦不遑多讓，同年有180萬日本人訪港，而只有50萬港人訪日。香港沒有名山大川、千年古城，卻能吸引發達國家來客到來，今年從更會從紐約手中奪得旅遊業金牌，成為全球最多旅客的國際城市。大家到街上一看，便會發現香港不但沒有因自由行多了國貨公司、變得大陸化，反而變得更國際化；不是只有周大福，而是「花呢花碌」，新來的Forever 21、Topshop、A&F、Apple Store等讓年輕人可買平靚正衫褲鞋襪、“techies”買到最新電話、文化人盡覽全球書籍。香港實在是個由舌尖(美食)到腳尖(逛街、買鞋)都有頂級享受的感官之都！港人關注的香港軟硬件承載力問題，我們應該以平常心、科學化處理：在旅客人次創5,000萬歷史新高的2012年，其實每天平均只有約35萬旅客在港逗留，只比30萬菲印傭稍多自存倉—相信沒有人會覺得她們令香港塞車、迫爆設施。當我們人人在上班上學或假期出外旅遊時，商場、海洋公園空空如也，旅客剛剛好填補這些空檔；只是周末或部分「熱點」(hotspots)較為擠擁的情景，或令部分市民感到不便，我們可以在北區和日後「橋頭」東涌等對症下藥多加設施解決，而不應濫殺無辜、閉關鎖港，影響我們經濟、社會發展的活水。旅遊和零售的興旺提供了大量低技術職位，讓基層人士得以自力更生；綜援戶過去3年跌了13%、人均收入上升25%，這個上流力、就業和荷包均直接感受到的經濟增長，亦要歸功於旅遊和零售在全球經濟不景時的一枝獨秀。旅遊業更對其他行業有龐大正面界外效應：當旅客到訪香港後，發現香港原來不只旅遊業興盛而是十項全能，因而一見鍾情，以後會多用香港其他服務，甚至來港經商。香港品牌便是如此由旅遊延伸至金融、藝術拍賣、教育、開設地區總部等不同範疇。其實香港旅遊業最大樽頸不只在商場、觀光設施，而在於酒店客房供應：過去3年旅客數目大升64%，酒店房間總數卻只增8%，以現時途徑移動，未來3年增幅將更慢；香港旅客數字早在3年前已超越倫敦，但房間數字僅倫敦六成；很多三星級酒店房租已超過1,000元，相當於很多城市五星級酒店的價錢。當理工大學的酒店管理系名列全球第二，我們一定要好好利用主場優勢，讓銀牌變金牌，不致浪費80後的客源和美好將來。政府、社會各界要應使則使，大力追回酒店等旅遊硬件的短缺，不讓高昂房租、物價搶走我們旅遊業穩袋的金牌，令這對均富貢獻極大的香港未來發展理想出路“gone with thewind”、煙消雲散！迷你倉

【石秀華、周昭平╱高雄報導】高雄飯店業者爭搶黃色小鴨商機，迷你倉漢來飯店推出「直擊黃色小鴨最近的距離」住房專案，官網圖片似乎直接在海景房就能看到大大的小鴨，不巧一名網友到飯店用餐時拍下碼頭小鴨，發現和官網「比例差太多」。漢來強調圖片是模擬合成，昨晚已更換新照片。 已寫合成不違法 網友上周以「豪洨（台語，意指誇大）最接近黃色小鴨的海景房間」在ptt貼文，把自己在漢來飯店43樓用餐拍下小鴨照，和飯店宣傳圖對比，引發討論，有人說是「航空母鴨」、也有人消遣「這不是小鴨鴨，分明是進擊的巨鴨了」、「可以告飯店廣告不實嗎？」 漢來飯店企劃部副理杜秋菁說，po文網友非房客，拍的是小鴨離開光榮碼頭的照片，且官網照片是市府尚未公布小鴨尺寸時，使用模擬合成，官網有告知「圖片為模擬合成，實際依市府公告為準」。高市消保官劉慧君表示，漢來官網加註「圖片為模擬合成」，加上不同樓層看小鴨，確有不同效果，應無廣告不實。 到底哪些飯店可從房間遠眺小鴨？杜秋菁說，漢來15樓至42樓有300間海景房可直擊黃色小鴨，其中26到35樓視野最好。另高雄福容飯店有18間文件倉觀套房可看黃色小鴨，但角度多為小鴨背面或側面；君鴻酒店46樓至70樓約百間客房面向光榮碼頭，但受限角度，僅少數房間能看到小鴨屁屁，君鴻酒店行銷企劃部副理陳怡樺說：「訂房送74樓觀景台票，建議上觀景台用肉眼或望遠鏡遠眺小鴨。」 至於鄰近愛河的國賓大飯店雖無房間可直接看小鴨，但有地利之便，離小鴨展示的光榮碼頭只要2分鐘路程。行銷公關副理吳宜芬說：「飯店推住房送愛之船船票，就近搭船看小鴨。」 今午小鴨再亮相 黃色小鴨前天上岸洩氣躲颱風，昨仍有遊客到光榮碼頭，但只見鴨皮被帆布緊緊包覆，看不到小鴨可愛模樣。高市府及策展單位昨晚評估表示，黃色小鴨預計今午1時許，在光榮碼頭岸邊重新充氣，再吊掛入水域展示，作業時間約2至3小時。 高雄小鴨住房專案 資料來源：下列飯店★漢來大飯店：海景套房5300元+10%起，送鴨娃娃及小鴨造型香皂等★福容大飯店：景觀房5599元起，送小鴨造型精品及愛之船船票等★君鴻大酒店：海景房4718元+10%起，送74樓觀景台門票及馬卡鴨等★國賓大飯店：2人同行3699元+10%起，送愛之船船票、小鴨吊飾等存倉

昨日下午，迷你倉著名女主播吳小莉攜其新書《吳小莉：與卓越同行》來到成都購書中心舉行首發會。新書中，吳小莉與柳傳志、馬雲、宗慶後、馬蔚華、劉永好、常小兵等六位不同領域的中國知名企業家對談，不僅點評中國商業領袖，也為創業者指點迷津。今日，吳小莉還將走進西南交通大學進行名為“給理想一點時間，給時間一點理想——青春作伴，卓越同行”的主題講座，和年輕人談談理想，談談卓越。談新書攜手商界大佬預言中國未來在簽售見面會前，吳小莉首先接受了成都媒體的採訪。常作為採訪者出現在鏡頭前的吳小莉，在作為被採訪者時仍然從容、溫和的言語讓人親切萬分。吳小莉向記者介紹，新書中會集了目前中國舉足輕重的六位商界大佬，聯想柳傳志、阿里巴巴馬雲、招商銀行馬蔚華、哇哈哈宗慶後、新希望劉永好、中國聯通常小兵，他們就企業接班、移動互聯、綠色新農業、傳統實業、金融業脫媒、年輕人創業等方面進行探討，為時代留下一本商業頂尖頭腦們關於未來的預言冊。根據每位大佬的不同領域，吳小莉對他們的提問方向也有所不同，與柳傳志談中國經濟的不確定性，與馬雲談中國企業的未來，與馬蔚華談急需變革的金融業，與宗慶後談新時代下的製造業，與劉永好談現代化農業，與常小兵談不斷逼近的移動互聯。談四川緣分 像回到了家一樣吳小莉在訪問中，還笑談自己與四川與成都的深厚緣份，第一次將新書的首發放在成都，也是因為她和四川有特殊的緣分，“成都是我來內地採訪的第二座城市，我是四川省青聯副主席，我像回到了家一樣。”吳小莉還透露在採訪�多頂級企業家中，對川籍著名企業家劉永好的細緻印象。迷你倉前，鳳凰衛視記者閭丘露薇在博客公開嘲諷央視主持人柴靜出鏡時的“表演”採訪不專業，作為主播的吳小莉對此表達了自己的看法：“對於傳媒工作者來講，本身就是一個記錄新聞的人物，所有的新聞工作者在新聞線上奔波記錄，讓觀�知道這個世界發生了什麼，我覺得任何精神都是值得表揚的，只要在這條路上孜孜不倦地去努力追求，就是一個很好的精神吧。”談公�人物私生活被關注是鼓勵也是壓力雖然吳小莉只是一名主播，但由於其靚麗的外型和出色的氣質，知名度不亞于娛樂圈明星。此前，鳳凰衛視美女主播沈星因香閨被人硬闖，其個人私生活狀況也被曝光，引起大�議論，並被作為娛樂新聞頭條。作為沈星的同事，身為香港鳳凰衛視資訊台副台長的吳小莉，也在現場被問及此事。吳小莉笑著表示，“這個問題顯得有點八卦哦。”不過她依然回應得很是得體，“每一個人都有自己的生活方式，我覺得要給他們充分的空間。”同時，吳小莉還談到自己作為女主播的心得體會，她認為，從事電視節目主持的工作，是會跟從事其他工作有一些不一樣的地方。“我並不認為我是明星，但是我得承認，我是一個公�人物。因為我不用敲門，就已經‘進入’千家萬戶中，成為大家集體關注的對象。人家自然對我想要多瞭解一點。也就是說，一個公�人物，接受人家對你的好奇和關注，是工作的一部分。”吳小莉還談道，作為公�人物，“大家對我們生活的關注，既是鼓勵，也是壓力。鼓勵就是鞭策我做得更好。壓力方面的表現，比如說，我要喬裝打扮掩飾一下才能方便出門，這的確是有點麻煩，但好在我已經習慣了。”成都晚報記者 滕楊 攝影 王浩儒儲存倉

記者萬旭明今年春節，mini storage湯唯在漢拍攝《黃金時代》，再回到這裡已是中秋。前日，湯唯現身某樓盤參加向希望小學捐款的活動，正值中秋佳節，她大表孝心，表示自己不是女神，母親才是心中女神標準，更透露心中幸福生活就是有一個完整的家，養豬種菜喂小雞。不是女神 想種菜養豬有一個家不知從何時開始，“女神”一詞開始流行，湯唯也被冠以這一稱號。從記者口中提到這一稱呼，她立馬笑了：“我只是父母的好女兒，媽媽才是我的女神。”而在她的眼中，女神的定義是這樣的：“我媽特別美，一次在船上，她穿藍色希臘風格花紋的裙子，戴珍珠耳環，精巧的小拖鞋，那一刻我拍了無數的照片。可她為了我和父親，離開了自己最愛的越劇表演，幾十年如一日照顧我們，沒有任何怨言，她就是我的女神。”頂著女神的光環，湯唯卻覺得“自己的生活一點都沒有改變”：“中秋節和父母在一起，去超市買東西，回來做飯吃，這變成最舒服的生活方式。”而她心目中的幸福生活也是這樣家長里短的日子：“一個很完整的家庭，有丈夫，老人健健康康，孩子快樂成長，有好空氣好水，冬暖夏涼更好。”這位“文藝女神”甚至期待“還可以種點菜，養豬，喂小雞”。不當導演 對自己還不滿意其實，湯唯是導演系出身，但在趙薇、徐崢等演員紛紛轉型當導演，並獲得票房成功的時候，她卻拒絕走這條路。她說：“跟更多優秀的電影人合作之後，覺得自己的不足越來越多，越來越清晰，發現好多東西可以學習，我很享受這個過程。至少做演員要做到自己滿意為止。”對最近拍攝的《黃金時代》，她也不盡滿意：“許鞍華的作品很細膩，而她本人是很考驗人的導演，也很投入，她全心放在電影里，甚至常常摔跤。跟著她拍戲，我覺得自己還是有諸多不足，還是差了很多。”至於自己已經拍過的電影，不論觀�如何評價，她自己卻不置評論：“現在還是放進冰箱的階段，評價需要5年到10年。”在漢拍戲 特別高興又回來了上一次在武漢還是春節self storage過，湯唯來漢拍攝許鞍華執導的《黃金時代》，飾演蕭紅。她在18號碼頭的船上演戲，在桑拿房里與市民偶遇閑聊。時隔半年再回武漢，湯唯這樣形容：“昨天飛機降落時，我向下面看，完全意料不到的，記憶一點點的都回來了。那時走過的小街小巷，吃過的面，去過的武漢大學、東湖、珞珈山、山上的小路、居民樓，突然間全部回來了。特別高興我又回來武漢了，真的。”江南水鄉杭州長大的湯唯，對武漢這個“千湖之省中的百湖之市”也非常喜愛，喜歡水的她對一場船上拍攝的戲更是印象深刻：“在碼頭上拍離別的戲，這是我第一次拍在輪船上的戲。那是一艘很舊的，據說是二戰時期的船。記得有一塊塊小小的木板，一路鋪到船上，走起來搖搖晃晃的。晚上的時候，水上還放了很多孔明燈，從上游飄過來熄滅了，我們就撿過來重新點上，這是我第一次放孔明燈，很好玩。”一顆吃回鍋肉的香菇菜心記者萬旭明關於湯唯，有一個舊聞，回答記者提問時，關於愛吃什麼這個問題，她答曰“回鍋肉”，卻被經紀人修改為“香菇菜心”。既然她在武漢已經自認並非女神，只是好女兒，不妨來看看一個更細節的她。採訪未開始，湯唯穿一身緊身裙到場，座位太矮，她說：“我坐下，後面的人就看不到我了。”於是要求換座位，發現場內座椅都不夠高，她喊道：“把桌子搬來吧，我坐桌子上。”當然，這是玩笑。採訪結束後，她主動向記者說：“謝謝你問我問題。”但當記者稱讚“你今天真漂亮”時，她又反問道：“難道我以前不漂亮？”這是一個有點“回鍋肉”的湯唯。問到選劇本的標準、有什麼一定不會演的戲，她的回答一概是：“跟著自己的心走。”問到導演對她是否滿意，她的回答一概是：“我沒問過，只管自己的戲。”就連如何揣摩角色，她的回答也一概是：“我不研究，直接感受。”這多少有點“香菇菜心”。至於她的“跟著心走”、“直接感受”、“一看就知道我愛演戲”是否是真的，只能各位見仁見智了。孝女湯唯記者劉洪洋 攝迷你倉
