屯門上河圖
是作者葉蕙芳曾在屯門河畔出生成長到整個小鎮的拆遷的童年印記.
由畫家曹念祖把整個印記重現眼前.
希望讀者感受到到六十至七十年代住在屯門河一帶的人民生活形態及當時純樸的人民精神，也希望為那一個年代留下了美好的回憶.
它不單只是－本畫冊，它是
一本故事書
一本香港情懷記
一本老香港遊踪
一本中國傳統節慶簡讀
一本情書：親情，友情，愛情，恩念情，懷念情
 
Tuen Mun River
My Childhood Memories
This book is based on the author, Lonna Cho’s, childhood memories from where she was born: near the river by the village that has since been demolished for expanding cities.
Painter Joe Cho helps to rebuild a collection of her childhood memories through painted illustrations to help readers revisit moments of her beloved past.
It is not just a painting album, it is
A book with stories
A book of feelings about Hong Kong
A book with tour about old Hong Kong
A book of traditional Chinese festivals brief
A book with love letters : family affection, friendship, love, gratitude and nostalgia

About the Painter

Joe Cho was born in Hong Kong and currently working as a professional Interior Designer.
He is the eldest in the family and always being regarded as a prodigy in painting by his father Mr. Hau Cho, who worked as a Mathematics and English teacher. His father would urge him to persist in achieving his goal while tirelessly cultivating his talent in this area by arranging tutors and instructors to help him thrive and flourish in life.
Joe graduated with distinction from the design faculty of Hong Kong Polytechnic University at the young age of 19 and emigrated to Canada when he was 30 years old. His passion for painting continued throughout the past years, often stretching into exhaustive hours immersed in his artistic realm to make up for the time spent making ends meet.
Coming from Hong Kong, where the east meets the west harmoniously, his artworks cover cultures from both sides, with the portrayal and illustrative capacity attributing to his unique style.
