It is a former site of Whitfield Barracks. It is worthy to preserve this site and promote it to the next generation as it has lots of values, including historical value, educational value, and architectural value, to name a few. Between the past and present, the site had a big difference. For example, the front elevation of the exhibition hall was converted into a glass curtain wall to create a spacious and welcoming atmosphere inside the foyer. Apart from that, the restoration project of the Cultural Heritage Discovery Centre had received a positive response from the public and professional bodies. In 2005, it won the “Special Architectural Award– Heritage” awarded by the Hong Kong Institute of Architects Annual Awards. Also, it won the Jury Commendation for Innovation in the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards for Culture Heritage Conservation in 2007. In addition, preservation and digitization related to the site are addressed.

Title A name given to the resource CCCH9043-Chinese Poetry as Social Critique Subject The topic of the resource China: Culture, State and Society Description An account of the resource This course introduces students to fundamental social and political issues at different periods in Chinese history through the primary source of poetic texts. As the relationship between the populace and the state has changed throughout history, so, too, have poetic forms. Our sources range from poems in the Book of Songs that protest the decadence of kings to contemporary avant-garde poets resisting political and cultural conformity. We explore the power of poetry and how it can convey radical messages obliquely, through symbolic imagery and imagined speakers, hence evading censorship by the regime. Students will also be given the opportunity to experiment writing their own poetry in different forms and genres.

Title A name given to the resource CCST9060- Exploring Human Longevity Subject The topic of the resource Scientific and Technological Literacy Description An account of the resource In this course, we will explore the intersection between science, technology, ageing and longevity. Reviewing how modern medicine and science have already influenced a longer human lifespan, we will take an evidence-based approach to evaluate the science behind ageing and the promise of emerging technologies relating to prolonging life, ageing, and chronic diseases.

Subject The topic of the resource China: Culture, State and Society Description An account of the resource Few countries in the world have a total population that exceeds the 110 million ethnic minorities in China. What does this mean for China’s rise in the 21st century? As the income gap between Han Chinese and ethnic minorities widens, the centuries old debate over values, identities, and cultural heritage intensifies. China’s rise will be determined by how well it governs the ethnic lands that occupy half of the country and 90 percent of its border. In short, the future hinges on being able to integrate diverse cultural groups, a challenge for any multi-ethnic states. What will happen to China’s 55 culturally diverse minority groups? This course uses basic data and current information to examine the central theoretical question: What social processes occur when people of different ethnic groups come together in a rapidly rising China?
