亞歷山大·蒲柏（Alexander Pope, 1688-1744），十八世紀最偉大的英國詩人，《牛津名言詞典》（The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations）收載條目第二多的詩人（僅次於莎士比亞），畢生勤於著述，擅多種題材文體。學識豐贍，才氣縱橫，洞燭世態人心，作品中妙語警句俯拾即是，許多都成為了英語世界的成語，例如“Hope springs eternal”（希望之泉永不竭）、“To err is human, to forgive,divine”（犯錯是人性，寬宥是神性）、“A little learning is a dang'rous thing”（一知半解害死人）、“Damning with faint praise”（名褒實貶）、“Fools rush in where angels fear to tread”（無知者無畏）。後輩詩人拜倫是對蒲柏五體投地：“無論時間或空間，哀痛或衰年，都永遠不能減損我對他的崇敬。他是偉大的諷喻詩人，規箴一切時代、一切風土、一切情感，以及生存的一切階段。他是我少時的歡樂，壯歲的志趣，或許還會成為我暮年（假使我有幸活到暮年的話）的慰藉。他的詩篇，便是人生的寶典。”蒲柏《呆廝國誌》是一部諷刺史詩，初刊於1728 年，最終版刊行於1743 年，前後歷時十五年，稱之為蒲柏畢生心血結晶，絕非過甚之辭。此詩以虛擬的“呆廝女神”為線索，鋪敘社會日趨粗鄙的頹敗進程，尖銳抨擊文藝市場化、低俗化、政治化的時弊，嬉笑怒駡，酣暢淋漓，直筆寫出一部活色生香的大不列顛墮落史，堪稱西方諷刺史詩的里程碑式巨製。這部詩作帶來莫大的聲名，同時給蒲柏招來了無數敵人，致使他餘生楚歌四面、怨謗隨身。文學史上稱許為“英語詩歌史上最引人入勝、最獨樹一幟的作品”的《呆廝國誌》，也許翻譯難度太大，直至現在牛津終於能出版給中文讀者。

Mountain Songs embodies the intersecting narratives of migration and how it shapes one’s identity.Mountain songs (山歌) are integral to Hakka culture – Tegan Smyth’s maternal heritage – and have been a way to keep stories by unknown authors alive in an oral tradition. As Hakka’s prominence as a spoken language gives way to other more widely spoken dialects of Chinese, it is in careful records that the cultural practices and stories are captured so they can be seen by future generations. This is true of the poems contained in Mountain Songs, which focuses on the accounts of different women in the writer’s family, whose existence and memories have been passed down only orally and never in writing. The movement of mountain songs sung across different terrains and milieus mirrors the movement of Hakka people themselves, a widely dispersed people, where migration is tied to the community’s experiences both within and outside China. The writer draws parallels to the migration of her grandparen

Writing has always been a difficult subject to talk about, let alone writing an honest account about how one’s creative process is complicated by global lockdown and personal hardships. In Writing in Difficult Times, eleven young promising writers from Hong Kong wallow in some of their perhaps most confusing and troubling moments in life, and share their struggles. How do writers committed to crafted language maintain a dialogue with themselves? How does the dense urban living space affect creative outputs and thoughts? How do writers reflect on and evaluate gender roles, motherhood, and time? What roles does memory play in writing, if memory’s own language is not allowed to communicate? Each personal essay in this collection is available in both Chinese and English, hoping to build a timely and genuine connection with its readers, regardless of location and cultural background. Each word is a courageous sharing that makes a significant contribution to bilingual Hong Kong literary writ

The University Museum and Art Gallery collaborates with Chen Xi on the exhibition Chen Xi: So We Remember. This catalogue accompanies the exhibition. The paintings illustrate important events that have shaped our modern world. The artist created this series of contemporary images to commemorate, to document and to provoke thought. The show presents her preliminary pen and watercolour drawings along with the finished oil paintings. Meticulous in her research and true to both the documented incident and the domestic details, Chen Xi creates historical paintings for our present and future generations. Her method directly relates to contemporary life and to a society that is informed and influenced by modern-day media. Interestingly, the painter does not simply depict a historic event, but frames within a TV screen each episode of her sequential and international narrative. By presenting the paintings within the TV’s glass, they become screen shots linked to a specific moment in time and s

Told through a little girl’s keen and often amused observation, AN INCH OF TIME gives a truthful, pleasant picture of daily life in Hong Kong in the post-war years. This first-hand account of the kind of home and school education received by many middle-class local Hong Kong children decades ago contains reminiscences about aspects of life-style, customs and traditions – both eastern and western – which average Hongkongers lived by in the 1940s and ‘50s. This memoir is set in a specific locality, the Happy Valley district of Hong Kong Island, home for over a century to the famous Jockey Club race-course.

This year (2025), on the 50th anniversary of my public service starting as an Administrative Officer in the Hong Kong Government and morphing into a politician, after many twists and turns, I am pleased to publish the ninth edition of my series of books entitled “Regina’s English Works for You”.The articles collected in this year’s “Regina’s English Works for You 9” fall under three broad areas: “Hong Kong’s Recovery and Resurgence” after our re-opening in early 2023, “Opportunities in the Greater Bay Area”, and “Emerging Rivalry between the East and the West”. The articles are a reflection of the global trends reshaping the world and life in Hong Kong. I hope readers can glean from these pieces some insight about the way the world is heading, and how we should position ourselves in a world transformed by “changes unseen in a hundred years”.I hope you will enjoy reading these fairly short and readable pieces and, in the process, learn one or two new things about mastering the English

South of the Yangtze starts with the protagonist, Qian Yinan, taking the high-speed train through the landscape of Jiangnan (“South of the Yangtze River”) with her American husband. Now in her mid-thirties, Yinan recalls her first trip along the same route in the late 1980s, as well as her Shanghai childhood with her “historical counter-revolutionary” grandfather, semi-literate grandmother, philosophy professor father and former “red guard” mother. Later in school, while receiving a nationalist education and witnessing the booming market economy, she becomes close to Jie, a classmate who aspires to join the Communist Party. And a few months before the new millennium, Yinan finds herself trapped in a secret love affair with her Mandarin-speaking high school teacher, who was once an activist during the political turmoil of 1989. In the midst of these formative relationships, Yinan contemplates the impact of the nation’s ideology, tradition and even it

VERA MAGPIE explores the gap between childhood fantasies of adult life and the stark reality of life in a women's prison. The eponymous narrator, Vera Magpie herself, is serving time for the murder of her three husbands, including Larry, a good man whom she loved, but doomed to die at Vera's hands because she has acquired a taste for murder. In prison, Vera experiences the reality that here are politics and a pecking order, just as in society at large, but here also she finds redemption through literature. Like many women who kill, Vera is a product of her own flawed past. But aspects of this past also count towards her early release from prison, as her new female lawyer successfully argues Battered Women’s Syndrome as a defence.-------------------------------------------------“Vera Magpie depicts pure life, nothing has been included or excluded, only human attitudes, psychology and behaviours have been condensed.”—Muhammad Shanazar “A knockout.
