Macao is the intersection of Eastern and Western cultures, and it is also an important channel for the introduction of Western natural science to China. The history and culture of Macao have formed unique cultural characteristics, making it a distinctive city. Peaceful and diverse coexistence has become a distinctive feature of Macao. Egypt was one of the earliest civilizations in the world, and its development was inseparable from the fate and statistics of human beings. I took inspiration from Egyptian civilization to create the God of Fortune and the God of Statistics. The God of Fortune on the left is the inevitable ruler of human destiny. He emphasizes people’s subjective experience and beliefs, and pays attention to spirituality and mystery. The God of Statistics on the right represents data analysis and decision-making, as well as the ability and method of rational and logical thinking. Together, they represent religious and scientific beliefs. Either scientific believers or religious believers can gain a deeper understanding of the nature and significance of human destiny through the statistics of fate.
