Born into a family with rich history in Xiqu, she possesses a natural talent for writing, creating and acting. Her performances in classic Cantonese operas, such as \u201cThe Floral Princess\u201d (\u5e1d\u5973\u82b1) and \u201cThe Purple Hairpin\u201d (\u7d2b\u91f5\u8a18), have earned her rave reviews.

With technological advancements, human society has created or transformed many land environments through reclamation projects. Hong Kong, as a harbor city, is currently planning the \u201cKau Yi Chau Artificial Islands\u201d project, reclaiming more land to support future economic development. What geological and material conditions need to be considered for these reclamation projects? What are the reclamation projects in Hong Kong? What are the lessons learned from the successes and failures of reclamation projects in the world\u2019s history? The CRC invited Dr. Jacky Chan from ProjecTerrae Limited to share with us his insight on these questions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Date\uff1aTuesday, April 25<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Time\uff1a9:25 \u2013 10:35 a.m.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Venue\uff1aYidan Chinese Cultural Center<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Language\uff1aPutonghua \/ English<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>About the Speaker<strong>\uff1a<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Dr. Jacky Chan is a professional geologist with extensive experience in mine exploration and development, feasibility studies of new energy sources, and commodity trading.
