In Hong Kong Wednesday, the actress Gong Li received France’s highest arts award. Thierry Dana, the French consul general, pinned the medal of the Officier des Arts et des Lettres to the diaphanous dress of the star of films like “Farewell, My Concubine.” He called the investiture the most pleasant duty during his two years in Hong Kong. Li confessed to a love affair with France: “It’s very beautiful, very romantic.”
