【永遠懷念戲劇大師——鍾景輝博士 | In Memoriam: Dr Chung King Fai】

香港浸會大學圖書館對著名戲劇大師鍾景輝博士辭世深表哀悼，並向其家屬、朋友及學生致以最深切的慰問。

鍾博士與浸大淵源深厚，是無數學子在戲劇路上的啟蒙恩師。1962年，他學成歸來後便加入浸會書院外文系任教，並積極推動校內戲劇發展。他不僅出任劇社顧問，帶領學生公演《淘金夢》、《小城風光》等經典劇目為校籌款，更開辦了香港首個大專戲劇課程，為本地戲劇教育開創先河。即使投身電視界後公務繁重，他仍堅持在學院兼教戲劇近二十載，培育無數後進。

鍾博士一生奉獻舞台，見證並推動了香港戲劇逾半世紀的發展。本館衷心感謝鍾博士生前的信任，將畢生珍藏的劇場文獻與個人檔案交託予我們。浸大圖書館定必悉心守護這批珍貴史料，讓鍾博士對戲劇的熱愛與堅持，透過他留下的文獻與作品世代流傳，啟迪後人。

Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) Library is deeply saddened by the passing of legendary theatre veteran Dr Chung King Fai. We extend our most heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and students.

Dr Chung shared a profound bond with HKBU and served as a guiding light for countless students pursuing the dramatic arts. Upon returning from his studies in 1962, he joined Hong Kong Baptist College as a lecturer in the Department of Foreign Languages and Literature, where he became a driving force for theatre on campus. Serving as the advisor to the Dramatics Club, he directed students in fundraising performances of classics such as Death of a Salesman and Our Town. Furthermore, he spearheaded local drama education by establishing Hong Kong’s very first tertiary-level drama course. Even after transitioning to a highly demanding career in television, he continued to teach drama part-time at the College for nearly two decades, nurturing generations of emerging talent.

Dedicating his life to the stage, Dr Chung played a pivotal role in shaping the evolution of Hong Kong theatre for over half a century. The Library is profoundly grateful for his trust in donating his lifelong collection of theatrical archives and personal papers to our care. HKBU Library will always remain steadfast in its commitment to safeguarding these invaluable historical materials. Through these archives, Dr Chung’s unwavering passion and dedication to the theatre will live on, continuing to inspire generations to come.

Summer Plan: Explore Kowloon City the Green Way!🌱

暑假計劃：跟住浸大同學的可持續旅遊指南玩轉九龍城！🌱

📚 As an HKBU student, do you know which places near campus are worth visiting? With summer here, check out this sustainable tourism guide designed by our HKBU students and explore Kowloon City! 🚶🏻🚶🏻‍♀️💚

📍 When it comes to Kowloon City, the Walled City Park is a must-visit for most tourists. But do you know with which Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) it aligns? ⚠️ Kowloon Walled City Park was originally a cluster of illegal buildings, notorious for its poor sanitation, high crime rate, and high population density. 🌳 Today, it has been transformed into a public green space, providing a place for citizens to relax. 📜 Meanwhile, the authorities have properly preserved the related historical sites within the park, preserving Hong Kong's cultural heritage. This perfectly aligns with SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being, SDG 4: Quality Education, and SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities. ✨

📋 Our students also recommended several lesser-known attractions within Kowloon City and analysed in depth the SDGs behind these attractions. 🖥️ Feel free to visit “TransLearn Bazaar”, a digital scholarship project launched by DTUP and the Library at HKBU.

暑假計劃：跟住浸大同學的可持續旅遊指南玩轉九龍城！🌱

📚在九龍塘上課的你，知道浸大附近有哪些好去處嗎？適逢暑假，若你還沒有計劃好去哪裡做甚麼，不妨跟著浸大同學設計的可持續旅遊指南，探索九龍城的綠色出行路線！🚶🏻🚶🏻‍♀️💚

📍提起九龍城旅遊，當然少不了九龍寨城公園，但你知道這個景點實現了哪些可持續發展目標（SDGs）嗎？⚠️ 九龍寨城公園的前身，曾是衛生惡劣、犯罪率高、密不透風的非法建築群。🌳如今它化身為公共綠地，為市民提供了放鬆身心的休閒空間。📜同時，當局亦原址保留相關法定古蹟，幫助傳承香港的歷史文化遺產。這完美實現了SDG 3：良好健康與福祉、SDG 4：優質教育及SDG 11：可持續城市和社區。✨

📋 除了寨城公園，同學們還推薦了多個九龍城的小眾景點，並深入解析其背後的可持續發展意義。🖥️ 歡迎大家瀏覽由香港浸會大學跨學科本科課程部和圖書館推出的數碼學術研究項目「跨學科市集」，在「生活『道』賞』」頁面搜尋關鍵字「九龍城」，解鎖更多本地綠色旅遊建議！🔓

The Architecture of Motion

Every movement of a digital character — from a simple shrug of a shoulder to the weight of heavy footsteps — is a convergence of art, anatomy and engineering. The Architecture of Motion pulls back the curtain and reveals the skeleton and mechanism under the skin. The exhibition showcases the semester’s work from the Character Effects & Rigging course, presenting a dual narrative: the creative vision of character design and the invisible technical craftsmanship required to make those visions come to life.
Exhibition date: 1 Jun – 5 Aug 2026
Exhibition location: Level 3, Au Shue Hung Memorial Library

【📚 New Titles List in May | 五月新書】⁠
⁠
📖 Cold enough for snow / Jessica Au.

A mother and daughter travel from abroad to meet in Tokyo: they walk along the canals through the autumn evenings, escape the typhoon rains, share meals in small cafes and restaurants, and visit galleries to see some of the city's most radical modern art. All the while, they talk: about the weather, horoscopes, clothes, and objects, about family, distance, and memory. But uncertainties abound. Who is really speaking here-is it only the daughter? And what is the real reason behind this elliptical, perhaps even spectral journey? At once a careful reckoning and an elegy, Cold Enough for Snow questions whether any of us speak a common language, which dimensions can contain love, and what claim we have to truly know another's inner world.

📖 How the Cold War broke the news : the surprising roots of journalism's decline / Barbie Zelizer.

Most of us would agree that American journalism has problems. Rushed reporting and thin coverage. Timidity in the face of adversity. Polarized perspectives and euphemistic language. Groupthink about complicated events. While much blame has been levelled at big tech, Barbie Zelizer traces the decline of American journalism to the Cold War. She makes the bold claim that Cold War-era practices are to blame for the state of journalism today, undermining a once trusted media environment.
