抗日戰爭中，儘管全中國人民都飽受苦難，但女性經歷了許多特有的苦難。加倍的生育之苦、喪子之痛、家庭生計負擔沉重、性侵害與性暴力頻發……但婦女並不只是被動的受害者，她們還是參與抗日的行動者、戰時生產的組織者、生存策略的策劃者、日常生活的支撐者。 這本以女性為中心的抗戰口述史，為我們發掘了這個在歷史中失語的群體，揭示出抗日戰爭也是一個社會性別化的歷史。女性的貢獻通常錯綜複雜地交織在日常生活之中而顯得毫不起眼，但事實上，正是她們的生存決心、智慧和韌性保全了戰時的家與國。而女性的視角帶出了戰爭講述中少見的日常面向——戰爭不只是軍事博弈、高層鬥爭，還是一朝一夕一粥一飯，戰場不只在前線，也在家中、田地、防空洞、工廠……-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------抗戰是中國現代史相當重要的一部分，是一整代中國人的共同經驗和記憶，但相關的研究成果卻嚴重失衡：不但偏重軍事外交，也忽略婦女經驗。本書著重戰時婦女日常生活的再現，述說不一樣的抗戰故事。作者採訪的對象，許多是少為自己留下記錄的女工、女傭、家庭主婦等沉默的一群人，即便是女學生、女教師等知識女性也不見得有機會為抗戰史留下見證。從歷史多元性的角度來看，本書的出版的確極為必要。—連玲玲 台灣中央研究院近代史研究所副所長 作者縝密的分析和受訪女性的生命故事共同為我們編繪出一段中國的戰爭史。本書敘事層次豐富，特別關注女性性別特質；同時為 讀者提供新鮮視角，有助於讀者理解抗戰歲月裏、民族存亡危機下，中國婦女的苦難、生存和抵抗。—美國歷史學核心刊物 《歷史學家》（The Historian）

Health is not just the absence of disease.In an era when living to 100 is becoming more common,our concept of ageing must evolve. While Hong Kong people enjoy the world's longest life expectancy, an important question arises: Are we truly achieving healthy ageing? In this book, Professor Jean Woo addresses a diverse array of challenges associated with the elderly population in Hong Kong society, including issues like elderly poverty, unfriendly community designs, unfair stigmatization faced by seniors, and late-life loneliness. Drawing on extensive research and clinical experience, she advocates for self-care, education, and empowerment, encouraging us to move beyond dependence on doctors and medications. Ageing is inevitable, yet we can control how we age. --------------------------------------------------------------By 2046, 36% of Hong Kongers will be ‘older adults’. Take Charge of Your Own Ageing is a timely publication to remind our society about the significan

Dazzled by the twilight of 17th-century painter Aert van der Neer’s Moonlit Landscape with a Road beside a Canal (1645–1650), contemporary Spanish artist Alberto Reguera created twenty three paintings as an homage to the celebrated artist of the Dutch Golden Age.This new series of paintings examines and connects directly to Van der Neer’s masterpiece, and the important painterly achievements of the Dutch painter’s generation.The exhibition and accompanying publication is the second collaboration between the University Museum and Art Gallery (UMAG) and Alberto Reguera. While the first exhibition Blue Expansive Landscape (2015) was notable for the display of the painter’s two- and three-dimensional works, and his innovative ways of painting beyond the canvas, Homage to Aert van der Neer is a similarly complex endeavour that has been achieved through a successful partnership with UMAG, the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza and the artist.當代西班牙藝術家 Alberto Reguera 艾拔圖‧雷古拉 傾慕於十七世紀荷蘭畫家 Aert v

The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the artworks’ iconography and material culture.As part of Buddhism’s eternal journey from India to the Himalayas, China and Japan, the religious icons and objects of daily religious practice remain a testament to the shifting cultures that have engaged with Buddhism over the millennia.Acknowledging such a state of transience highlights the enlightened wisdom of Tibetan Buddhism as portrayed through the various artworks.「如來一相：佛教藝術藏珍」展出藏傳佛教藝術品，包括銅像及唐卡。展品源自6至19世紀西藏、尼泊爾、巴基斯坦，甚至遠及蒙古。藝術史上，藏傳佛教藝術興於喜馬拉雅山脈一帶，承襲了印度次大陸及中亞地區的美

夏濟安先生所著《黑暗的閘門》（The Gate of Darkness）自1968年英文版問世以來，便在英文世界產生極大影響，成為中國左翼文學研究領域一本劃時代的傑作。儘管該書部分篇章曾翻譯成中文並以單篇論文形式發表，遺憾的是此後近半個世紀之久，中文讀者始終無緣窺其全貌。此次中文大學出版社對英文版全書重新翻譯，增錄夏濟安先生另一篇相關的重要論文，並邀請翻譯學研究專家王宏志教授對譯稿全文審訂，首次推出這本經典著作的完整中文版。本書細緻梳理文學與時代政治的糾纏，深入揭示左翼文學運動的兩難境地。書中所論作家包括魯迅、蔣光慈、左聯五烈士以及瞿秋白等人，他們都是1949年以前共產黨理念的同情者乃至實踐者。在1960年代國際上反共仇共的大環境中，夏濟安下筆敏銳痛快而不失同情，充滿耐心，既給左翼作家及其作品一個恰當公允的評價，更為他們身上的悲劇意義而深深歎息。
