Presented by Hong Kong Metropolitan University, the exhibition ‘Beyond Distance: Half a Lifelong Friendship of Eileen Chang, Stephen Soong and Mae Fong Soong’ focuses on the deep friendship that lasted over four decades between Eileen Chang, Stephen Soong, and Mae Fong Soong.

The exhibition will showcase their correspondence, demonstrating cherished manuscripts, letters, and personal artefacts belonging to the trio. These artefacts underscore the key roles of Stephen Soong and Mae Fong Soong as literary confidants to Eileen Chang, allowing the public to appreciate their significant contributions to Chinese literature and Hong Kong cinema.

Furthermore, through dynamic imagery and new media art, visitors will experience the convergence of their literary legacies across artistic, historical, and technological dimensions. This multifaceted visual approach embodies the treasured bond of their friendship and captures the essence of ‘Beyond Distance’.

The exhibition is open to the public. You are welcome to make free reservations for individual or group guided tours through the HKMU Modern Chinese Literature Museum website. We look forward to your visit!

🐾 On October 24, the University Library and Student Affairs Office co-hosted the talk “Woof & Mood: Understanding Emotions Through Dogs”. 🐶 We were honored to have Dr. Eddie Lee, Ms. Mimi Lam, Ms. Alice Tsang, and two adorable dog therapists, Fluffy and Chek Siu Dau, share their expertise on animal-assisted services and dog behavior. 

💡 Students gained valuable insights into how dogs can improve emotional well-being and provide therapeutic support. 🧠💖 The interactive session with the two furry therapists allowed participants to experience the calming and uplifting effects of canine companionship firsthand. 🐕💕

🌟 Thanks for joining us, we look forward to the next gathering with Fluffy and Chek Siu Dau! 🐾🐶
