| Reading takes us everywhere. Reading biographies is seeing others' minds; reading history is travelling in time; reading about the nature is understanding other living beings. |
This Book Festival will steer students and staff of CUHK towards an immersive journey with the renowned scholars, authors, translators and leading actors through numerous "Book Talks" and a film screening. They include among others Lai Ming-chu, Fu Yue-an, Joyshan Kung and Leung Man-tao. The people and events in their works such as Haruki Murakami, Chou Meng-tieh, Lam Hang-chi's editorials and the concept of remembrances of history will also crop up.
