Book Synopsis Space and Everyday Lives of Children in Hong Kong by : Stella Meng Wang
Download or read book Space and Everyday Lives of Children in Hong Kong written by Stella Meng Wang and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-01-23 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deploying a spatial approach towards children’s everyday life in interwar Hong Kong, this book considers the context-specific development of five transnational movements: the garden city movement; imperial hygiene movement; nationalist sentiments; the Young Women's Christian Association; and the Girl Guide. Locating these transnational cultural movements in four layers of context, from the most immediate to the most global, including the context of Hong Kong, Republican China, the British empire, and global influences, this book shows Hong Kong as a distinctive colonial domain where the imperatives around race, gender and class produced new products of empire where the child, the garden, the school and sport turned out to be the main dynamics in play in the interwar period.

Book Synopsis Multilingual Hong Kong: Languages, Literacies and Identities by : David C.S. Li
Download or read book Multilingual Hong Kong: Languages, Literacies and Identities written by David C.S. Li and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume gives an up-to-date account of the language situation and social context in multilingual Hong Kong. After an in-depth, interpretive analysis of various language contact phenomena, it shows why it is such a tall order for Hongkongers to live up to the Special Administrative Region government’s language policy goalpost, ‘biliteracy and trilingualism’. A detailed contrastive analysis between Cantonese and (a) English, (b) Modern Written Chinese, and (c) Putonghua helps explain the nature of the linguistic and acquisitional challenges involved. Economic forces and sociopolitical realities helped shape the ‘mother tongue education’ or ‘dual MoI streaming’ policy since September 1998. The book provides a critical review of the significant milestones and key policy documents from the early 1990s, and outlines the concerns of stakeholders at the receiving end. Another MoI debate concerns the feasibility and desirability of teaching Chinese in Putonghua (TCP). Based on a critical review of the TCP literature and recent psycholinguistic and neuroscience research, the language-in-education policy implications are discussed, followed by a few recommendations. Hongkongers of South Asian descent saw their life chances curtailed as a result of the post-1997 changes in the language requirements for gaining access to civil service positions and higher education. Based on a study of 15 South Asian undergraduate students’ prior language learning experiences, recommendations are made to help redress that social inequity problem.
Book Synopsis This is Hong Kong by : Miroslav Sasek
Download or read book This is Hong Kong written by Miroslav Sasek and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2007-02-13 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like the other Sasek classics, this is a facsimile edition of the original book. The brilliant, vibrant illustrations have been meticulously preserved, remaining true to his vision more than 40 years later. Facts have been updated for the 21st-century, appearing on a "This is . . . Today" page at the back of the book. These charming illustrations, coupled with Sasek's witty, playful narrative, make for a perfect souvenir that will delight both children and their parents, many of whom will remember the series from their own childhoods. This is Hong Kong, first published in 1965, captures the enchantment and the contrasts of Hong Kong in the sixties. Roaring jets bring in the tourists; bamboo rickshaws taxi them through exotic streets fragrant with incense, roasting chestnuts, and honey-glazed Peking duck. Sasek shows you the sweeping panorama of gleaming Kowloon Bay framed by misty mountain ridges, then moves in for close-ups of laborers and hawkers, refugees from the mainland, and sailors of flame-red junks, and the strange "water people" who, it is said, never set foot on dry land.

Book Synopsis Hilton Cheong-leen (張有興): First Chinese 'Mayor' Of Hong Kong by : Hilton Cheong-leen
Download or read book Hilton Cheong-leen (張有興): First Chinese 'Mayor' Of Hong Kong written by Hilton Cheong-leen and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2022-06-27 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hilton Cheong-Leen was a legend in Hong Kong's history. It is no coincidence that his 34 years of public service witnessed the city's historic transformation from a regional entrepot to an international financial centre. He was a key player in that historic process and a visionary too in bringing about changes in a wide range of issues from politics to livelihood. He held firm in the belief that traditional Chinese values were applicable in the modern world and Hong Kong was a case he strived hard to prove the East-West compatibility. A businessman and a baritone, he knew the art of delivering ideas and principles. He upheld core values such as civic rights, wider political participation and social justice not through slogans but solid advice and practice in constitutional reform, education, hygiene, housing, transportation, arts, to name just a few.Based on original research and primary sources, including interviews with Cheong-Leen during his last years, this book covers his early years in British Guyana and his subsequent public service as lawmaker, urban councillor, plus a dozen of titles. The account documents the many footprints he left in the city's phenomenal economic takeoff since the 1970s. His contribution had once earned him the title as the 'Mayor' of Hong Kong when he was elected in 1981 as the first Chinese chairman of the Urban Council since its inception almost a century ago.Co-authored by award-winning writers Gary Cheung and Oliver Chou, Cheong-Leen's memoir provides a vivid account of his journey as a member of the global Chinese diaspora in the 20th Century, and details of his three-decade long public service. It is an extraordinary story of a man whose paths took him through relocation, war, settlement, hard work and success.
