Look how fast Hong Kong is changing, how time flies. A new group of Library Reading Club is coming in March. Facilitated by Ms Catherine Chan from Department of Chinese, we will follow the footsteps of Xiaosi(小思) in 《思香‧世代》to relive the human landscape of Hong Kong in the 1960s and 70s. Xiaosi is a contemporary Hong Kong essayist, educator, and scholar. She also has been an eminent researcher of Hong Kong literature for decades.

Come and join the Library Reading Club in March, a penny for your thoughts. Sign up now and get a free copy of the book. First come, first served. For details please click HERE.

Chinese New Year couplets are the most common and important custom when celebrating Chinese New Year. With black characters written on red coloured strips, it expresses people’s delight in the festival and wishes for the coming new year.

【博雅．恒大】毛筆揮春創作比賽 was held by Department of Chinese. It aims to engage our University communities to celebrate Chinese New Year together. The competition came to an end with full of joy and happiness. The Library will collaborate with Department of Chinese to showcase the best and the most creative Chinese New Year couplets from our students and staff.

The exhibition will be held at the G/F of Library from February 18 – March 1. Don’t miss it!
