Summary
The third PolyU Chinese Culture Festival will be launched on 24 March 2026, with its first major event titled “A Window onto Vast Vistas: Master Writers’ Hong Kong Traces”. Organised by PolyU with support from the Chinese Writers Association and the National Museum of Modern Chinese Literature, this two-week event will feature exhibitions, lectures, and workshops that explore the deep cultural and literary connections between Chinese literature and Hong Kong from multiple perspectives. On the same day, PolyU will also hold an unveiling ceremony for Lam Tai Fai Amphitheatre. The newly enhanced venue is designed to host a variety of events, further strengthening connections among staff, students, alumni, and the wider community, while fostering cultural exchange on campus.
“A Window onto Vast Vistas: Master Writers’ Hong Kong Traces” exhibition will feature rare manuscripts, letters, and other archival materials from six prominent modern Chinese writers — Lu Xun, Xiao Hong, Mao Dun, Ba Jin, Jin Yong, and Liang Yusheng. It also features a special reconstruction of the study rooms of Ba Jin and Mao Dun, allowing visitors to experience, in an immersive setting, the literary masters’ connections with Hong Kong and their values and spirit.
