The Asia Pacific Center presents two events about Hong Kong in November: Vanished Archives 消失的檔案 Monday, November 6 4:30–7:00 p.m. Film screening and Q&A with Connie Lo Yan-wai (director) Charles E. Young Research Library Presentation Room “Vanished Archives” 消失的檔案 is a record of the 1967 riots, an important event in contemporary Hong Kong. The production team interviewed people who were directly involved in and witnessed the riots. They are leaders from the leftist camp and trade unions, former police officers, senior government officials, members of the explosives team, journalists, and students. A large amount of newspaper clippings and declassified National Archives of the British Government were also reviewed in the process. Among all others, “Notes on 1967” (written by Ng Tik-chow, deputy head of the HK & Macao Group of the Foreign Affairs Office under the State Council) revealed that the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party was well informed of details of the riots and issued orders from time to time. For over four years, film director Connie Lo Yan-wai persevered in tracking down, consolidating, and analyzing a massive amount of information to reconstruct the profound and far-reaching impacts of this event on the territory. “Respect the facts, and learn from the lessons.” This is the vision of the director. We want to find the real 1967 Hong Kong. Visit the film's website and Facebook page to learn more (Chinese language). This event is cosponsored by the UCLA Center for Chinese Studies. Note: There will be a community screening of the film, also with the director in attendance, on Saturday, November 4, from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m., at the Monterey Park Service Club House, 440 S. McPherrin Ave., Monterey Park, CA 91754-3311. Details are available on the film’s Facebook page. China's Hong Kong SAR at 20: Interdisciplinary Perspectives Wednesday, November 15 1:00–6:00 p.m. Luskin Conference Center Optimist Room RSVP Two decades after its transformation from a British colony to become China’s Special Administrative Region, Hong Kong is an arena of tensions punctuated by local-Mainland discord and mutual distrust. Four political leaders and six academics from Hong Kong pinpoint the dynamics shaping their city of 7.2 million amid a contest between the local liberal values/democratic aspirations and the authoritarian orthodoxy of its party-state sovereign. Anchored in multidisciplinary approaches with divergent ideo-political perspectives, this half-day forum engages UCLA faculty and students with the local community and Hong Kong front-liners.
