THE loss of a stroke in one character did not stop Lam Chi-man from winning first place in the primary students section of this year's Hongkong Bank-sponsored Chinese calligraphy competition.

However, the judges reminded the 11-year-old to be more careful in observing the structure of Chinese characters in the future.

The prize-giving ceremony was held recently at the bank's headquarters.

Twenty-four winners were awarded in three categories: primary students, secondary students and open group.

Bank chairman Mr John Gray said contestants this year ranged from six-year-olds to senior citizens living in an old folks home.

Chi-man, who studies in Sha Tin, also won first place last year.
