Year of the Tiger 03 Comment Allez-Vous 今晚打老虎
If you ask a Hong Kong person if they speak any French, they may reply with: “今晚打老虎”. The phrase sounds vaguely like “Comment Allez-Vous”, but literally translated, it means Literally, “Tonight, we fight tigers”.
The term was popularised in a 1991 Stephen Chow film ‘God of Gamblers III’. His character, nicknamed “今晚打老虎”, faces off a French poker master in a Casino-Royale style finale.
Tsaoao Design’s products are designed and made in Hong Kong. These papercuttings were composed by hand, then reproduced one-by-one using a Cricut blade-cutting machine. The top surface uses traditional red paper for its authentic texture and unmistakable colour. The card backing is certified recycled paper made from 80% post-consumer waste.
