She followed her father in browsing through a variety of antique shops, viewing many objects over the years and learning from connoisseurs in the field. She furthered her knowledge on the subject by studying classic texts, and often consulted opinions of those who were more experienced in her collecting circle, including members of the Min Chiu Society. Madame Shum is also interested in Chinese paintings. She met Pu Ru and learned to paint from him. She was the youngest amongst the four female pupils of Pu Ru in Hong Kong.
