Initiatives such as “Reconstruction 798” spurred the development of the art district, creating a public, market-driven hub of contemporary art that reached its zenith around the time of 2008 Beijing Olympics. This book documents 798’s remarkable pioneering decade between 2002 and 2012, capturing the art district’s heyday, as well as its subsequent decl

In The New Politics of Beijing–Hong Kong Relations, Sonny Shiu-Hing Lo looks at the diverging changes to the ideologies from both Beijing and Hong Kong, and the ideological conflicts as taken in the form of factional political struggles between 2012 and the present. This book examines the paternalistic authoritarianism that can be seen in Beijing’s policy toward Hong Kong since the promulgation of the national security law in late June 2020. Lo analyzes the ideological shift from liberal nationalism to conservative nationalism in mainland China, which has taken place since late 2012. The increasingly radical localism in Hong Kong after 2014 transformed Beijing–Hong Kong relations into a conflict-ridden situation characterized by factional struggles. While the imposition of the national security law into Hong Kong since late June 2020 has stabilized the city politically, Beijing’s policy toward Hong Kong is now guided by the principles of protecting its national security and m

HONG KONG LITERATURE SERIESSeries Editor: John MinfordAfter her celebrated The Teddy Bear Chronicles, Xi Xi turns her creative vision towards the world of the primate kingdom. At the age of 73, despite physical challenges, Xi Xi traveled extensively across Asia, from tropical forests to conservation centers, immersing herself in the natural world of apes and monkeys.This book is one of the remarkable outcomes of this journey. Xi Xi documented 51 endearing ape and monkey puppets that she had sewn, weaving them into a series of insightful dialogues with her friend, the Hong Kong writer Ho Fuk Yan. These discussions cover the depiction of apes and monkeys in Chinese and Western literature, painting, drama, and film, as well as the interconnectedness of humans and their primate relatives. Xi Xi’s words, filled with empathy, reveal the heart of her work: ‘If there is a common theme to our conversation, it is to respect life and speak for those lives that have been discriminated against in t

This book offers a glimpse into the wide-ranging 50-year career of the internationally renowned Hong Kong photographer/designer through his work in collages and photomontages. From his early album covers when he was an art director/designer for the music industry in New York, Los Angeles and London in the 1970’s, through his diverse international assignments and personal works, to his most recent exhibition in Hong Kong. The story encompasses the long journey from cut-and-paste collages to the computer-composited photomontages of dreamscapes in this Carnival of Dreams.In his introduction titled ‘The Man from Everywhere’, Pico Iyer writes: “For decades now, Basil Pao has been the global eye through which I’ve taken in almost every country, as clearly as the world within… I never know where to place Basil; I can’t get my head around him. Album-designer, loving father, covert Chan master—21st century Renaissance man—Basil is always bringing the many worlds inside him together to create so

For over 20 years, Basil Pao followed Michael Palin (and his BBC crew) around the world. He documented their journeys from the North to South Pole and around the Pacific Rim. They retraced the footsteps of Hemingway, traversed deep into the Sahara, and trekked up and down across the Himalayas. They crisscrossed post-Iron Curtain Eastern Europe and surveyed Brazil from the Amazon to Iguazu Falls. Their collaborations resulted in 11 bestselling illustrated books. In between the Palin journeys, Pao travelled extensively for a variety of clients that took him to remote and exotic locations across the globe, including an epic journey through every province across the length and breadth of China to create the classic China Revealed.OM2—Ordinary Moments+ is the distilled essence of all the miles travelled and the tens of thousands of pictures captured. This anthology of 140 photographs illuminates the purity of Pao’s vision and contains some of the maestro’s personal favourite repor

High Gothic: Christian Art & Iconography of the 13th–14th Century showcases classic examples of statuary, stained glass, diptychs, textiles and caskets that were used in the expression of Christian devotion in Western Europe.‘Gothic’ was originally a derogatory term coined by scholars during the Renaissance to describe the ‘barbaric’ medieval architecture that arose with the decline of the classical forms of the Roman Empire. The word is now understood to describe a style of buildings and objects created between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries which incorporate elements such as novel advances in masonry work and the characteristic ogival arch.The Gothic period saw an increased emphasis on the power of images, where vision became an active force for activating emotion and inspiring contemplation. The great cathedrals constructed in this period―with their thin walls and high vaults filled with statuary and stained-glass windows―were designed to evoke awe among visitors. The exqui

吳靄儀在1995年加入立法局任議員至2012年止，她身為律師，在立法會一直堅守法治精神，期間卻挑戰不斷：九七立法機關過渡、港人內地子女爭取居港權、23條立法爭論、高鐵興建、議會文化改變等。當中事件更迭、個人省思，均詳盡記錄書中。誠如陳文敏教授言，這本書不單是吳靄儀的從政小傳，更重要的是它見證了香港這二十年來法治的興衰轉變，為回歸前後香港在民主進程和法治建設的重要大事件留下春秋紀錄。本書取名「拱心石

《塔洛》是一部電影劇本、短篇小說和評論文章，合而為一。在2012年，萬瑪才旦發表了他的短篇小說，講述了一個牧羊人從山上被帶到一個陌生世界的故事。 2015年，他將其改編為備受讚譽的電影《塔洛》（金馬獎，新亞洲電影獎）。這本書結合了萬瑪才旦的才華，並以其身份認同，同情心，現代性和來自中國的緊張局勢等核心問題，開創了當代藏族文化。

如果一粒沙可以看世界，塗鴉就足以窺探香港的面貌，《塗鴉香港：公共空間、政治與全球化》是一種實證調查、分析與批判的通識書籍。本書於2012年出版後獲得相當反響。書有人看，便是某種認可，更是挑戰。再版，就是對讀者的回應。過去幾年，香港的發展觸及不同角落與層面，從行政長官選舉到「佔領中環」運動，經歷了政治、社會和經濟等方面的巨大演變。這期間，塗鴉世界也起了不少變化，最明顯的是，一代新人換舊人，早期的塗鴉

★香港重要作家─也斯《剪紙》紀念新版。十年前，評論家葉輝說，那是他第五次細讀《剪紙》，他接著說，《剪紙》是一個不斷生長的故事，每讀一次都有不同形貌不同角度的新發現，它是一棵隨氣候季節和年齡變形的植物，生長出一些與現象和幻象相涉的想像。董啟章則說閱讀《剪紙》的文本經驗不單來自剪紙的多重對立含義，也來自《剪紙》小說的寫法。這是一部香港文學的經典，自1977年小說在報紙連載到2012年牛津新版，三十多年

命運的齒輪開始轉動， 我在時間的盡頭等你！《我在盡頭等你》是一個融合愛情、科幻與人性掙扎的故事。梁晨，一名來自1982年的年輕書店店員，自小父母就在他的生命離去。在面對摯愛董幼的悲劇後，意外發現家族遺傳的時空穿越能力，並決定成為一名「時空觀光客」，回到過去，拯救董幼的生命。然而，在2012年的異世界裏，他不僅要適應新時代的科技與文化衝擊，更在與神秘女子莫嘉的互動中重新審視自己的情感與人生選擇。當他在二十一世紀努力尋找自己的位置，卻突然迎來一個不可思議的變數——父親的再現！

《波動》是享譽文壇的北島的第一本創作，寫於1974 年，1979年正式在《今天》文學雜誌連載，是當代最著名的小說之一，四十多年來已被翻譯成三十種語言文字出版。北島2012年最新修訂，著名評論家李陀說：「讀《波動》，小說敍事暢快得有如清泉石上流，雖然也有略微平緩或婉轉的時候，但決沒有拖沓和停滯，更不會有淤積或堵塞。在我看來，這簡直是個奇跡——有如此敍事速度的小說放在今天也是不多見，問題是，怎麼會出現在1974年？太早了，早得難於解釋。」另一位著名評論家陳思和認為，它是文革時期潛在寫作中最成功的小說。更有論者說，無論是愛情本身的悽婉與苦澀，還是非臉譜化的人物性格與命運的複雜性，抑或是敍事角度的快速切換、大量使用人物對話等等，都顯現出這篇小說遠超出時代的早熟與「現代」。對於文革，不同於傷痕文學的憤怒與簡單控訴，而是直抵人物內心，敍述冷靜而深沉。寫作的人是孤獨的。寫作與孤獨， 形影不離，影子或許成為主人。寫作在召喚，有時沉默，有時叫喊，往往沒有回聲。遠行與迴歸，而回歸的路更長。

立法會是香港特區的立法機關，主要職權包括制定、修改和廢除法律，審核及通過財政預算、稅收和公共開支，以及對政府的工作提出質詢，並有權彈劾行政長官。立法會於1991年首次引進地區直選議席，回歸後第五次換屆選舉於2012年9月9日舉行，議席總數由上屆60席增至70席，分區直選及功能界別各佔35席。新增十席中，五席由分區直選、五席由新増區議會（第二）功能界別不分區直選產生。增加直選議席，以及泛民主派陷於分

2012年夏天，香港社會環繞着國民教育政策引起激烈爭議，並掀起了近十萬群眾上街。結果，2012年9月27日，香港特區政府宣布《德育及國民教育科課程指引》「失效」，但卻容許中、小學繼續「各自表述」。在這次課程及教育政策爭議中，公眾議論的平台充斥着種種政治動機的揣測和政治陰謀的指控，而鮮有建基於香港社會政治現實和教育及教學理念的具體政策分析及討論。本文記錄了筆者在是次爭議中從社會、政治及教育等理念出發

在聳人聽聞的預測中，2012年將會發生幾場足以毀掉人類和地球的災難。而我們所關注的2012年，則是即將真實上演的兩場政治大戲。這一年，美國首位非裔總統奧巴馬的第一個任期結束，華盛頓能否變天，取決於美國選民投出的選票。在這個自由女神眷顧的國家，誰當總統都無法吸引我們太多注意力。這一年，中共十八大召開，第五代領導人將閃亮登場，誰能進入中共權力核心－－中央政治局常委，也取決於選票，但不是選民們投出的選票

The origins of modern Daoism can be traced to the Church of the Heavenly Master (Tianshidao), reputedly established by the formidable Zhang Daoling. In 142 CE, according to Daoist tradition, Zhang was visited by the Lord on High, who named him his vicar on Earth with the title Heavenly Master. The dispensation articulated an eschatological vision of saving initiates—the pure, those destined to become immortals— by enforcing a strict moral code. Under evolving forms, Tianshidao has remained central to Chinese society, and Daoist priests have upheld their spiritual allegiance to Zhang, their now divinized founder. This book tells the story of the longue durée evolution of the Heavenly Master leadership and institution. Later hagiography credits Zhang Daoling’s great-grandson, putatively the fourth Heavenly Master, with settling the family at Longhushan (Dragon and Tiger Mountain); in time his d
