Most of them originated from the Pearl River Delta. As importantly, many returned to their home villages through Hong Kong. In the process of these comings and goings, Hong Kong became an entrep\u00f4t for people and many aspects of its social and economic developments were deeply affected by these movements. This talk will also highlight Hong Kong\u2019s place in modern China and in the Chinese diaspora.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Date : Wednesday, May 17, 2023<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Time : 3:30 \u2014 4:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Venue : Yidan Chinese Cultural Center<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Language\uff1aEnglish<\/p>\n<p>Registration\uff1a<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSdBQOAfI5kBJhH8rZwADU9RInr0NXBqcPNBkPEes-wRB9GZfw\/viewform\">Click here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Enquiries\uff1a<a href=\"mailto:crc@isf.edu.hk\">crc@isf.edu.hk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">About the Speaker<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Prof. Elizabeth Sinn was born and raised in Hong Kong.

The Dunhuang Grottoes are rare art sites in the world and were listed as a world cultural heritage approved by UNESCO in 1987, which is the first batch of listed projects in China. The speaker will explain the art of Dunhuang Grottoes and walk into this museum on the Silk Road with you, just like being in this thousand-year-old cultural treasure, comprehending the transcendent spiritual power, and feeling the realm of a thousand-year-old dark cave with a light of wisdom and compassion.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Date : Wednesday, May 24, 2023<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Time : 3:30 \u2014 4:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Venue : Yidan Chinese Cultural Center<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Language\uff1aPutonghua<\/p>\n<p>Registration\uff1a<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSc2jVIy_qGMweeus0FQzGQ6b6MELXzLo71vHhTzIFq25C0NIA\/viewform?usp=sf_link\">Click here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Enquiries\uff1a<a href=\"mailto:crc@isf.edu.hk\">crc@isf.edu.hk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">About the Speaker<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Dr. Irene Lok, Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Hong Kong.
