I happened to catch NBC 5 Chicago news recently and this segment by Vi Nguyen caught my attention. An amazing mural by Chicago artist Rich Lo. For this mural, he chose three famous Opera characters commonly seen in Cantonese opera. They are legendary warriors. Lo’s father was a rising star in the Chinese Opera. He saw his father perform on stage, so this is close to his heart.
The Chinese American Museum of Chicago donated this wall for the mural which is in the parking lot. What is also interesting is that Rich Lo went to grammar school across the street from the site of the mural. Fate / destiny at work when he was a child. Interesting how life works, right!
This is such a special tribute to his Chinese culture and family legacy to create this beautiful work of art! I’m excited about this.
It’s time for me to head to Chinatown and see this mural in person!
Brilliant Viewpoint 
Beautiful! Sad part is, it will take some gang about two minutes to “mark” it.
