The Power of Words cordially invites you to record what you see, hear, think, and sense on 21 March 2013. Allow your feelings, reflections, thoughts, and perspectives become part of CUHK's history.
Prior to the Second Sino-Japanese War, Mao Dun (茅盾), a renowned Chinese writer, initiated a massive writing event called "A Day in China". Three decades ago, a group of passionate CUHK students compiled "A Day at CUHK" to encourage members of CUHK to reflect on their lives and their generation. We may have different campus experiences, but what we share will become part of the history of CUHK. Time has gone by and CUHK's 50th Anniversary is approaching. It is time again for us to contribute once again to CUHK's history.
We welcome members of CUHK (including undergraduate and postgraduate students, exchange students, teachers, staff, alumni, retired staff, visiting scholars, their respective family members, and non-CUHK employees on campus) to participate in this meaningful and memorable event. We accept poems and prose (in Chinese or English and in ancient or modern genres), and there is no word limit. Submitted entries will be posted on the Internet, and selected work will be published as a collection.
Submission:
Entries (saved as Word documents) can be submitted by email to PowerOfWords@cuhk.edu.hk or by post: Hong Kong Literature Research Centre, Department of Chinese Language and Literature, Fung King Hey Building, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, New Territories, Shatin.
