Description

途 – 奮鬥與希望

This is the opening session for an exhibition which will be held in the Richard Charles Lee Canada-Hong Kong Library, University of Toronto from July 29th to October 31, 2010. Voyage is a collaborative exhibition project undertaken by two renowned international universities – Faculty of Social Sciences, the University of Hong Kong and Richard Charles Lee Canada – Hong Kong Library, the University of Toronto. Themed as Voyage – Struggles and Hopes, the exhibition covers the struggles and hopes Chinese-Canadians have walked through in the last century. Stories of 9 Chinese-Canadians are featured – their journeys to be part of this multicultural society are revealed.

Dr. Jack Leong, Director of the Canada-Hong Kong Library, said this exhibition presents interesting insights of two interns from Hong Kong in their exploration of the lives of 9 Canadians with Hong Kong linkage. He believes it has provided an opportunity for the curators, the Canadians profiled, and the audience of the exhibition to revisit the Chinese Diaspora experience in Hong Kong and Canada.
