Join us at UCCA for a book event and theatrical performance to celebrate the release of the book Contrast@1963! Contrast@1963 is in a sense 3 books by 3 authors (all born in 1963) hailing from 3 different places: Taipei, Hong Kong and Shenzhen. Authors Yang Shao (Taipei), Ma Ka-fai (Hong Kong) and Hu Hongxia (Shenzhen) compare and contrast the meaning and historical significance of 30 words and phrases in Taiwan, Hong Kong and mainland China. Their comparative lexicon covers the gamut from Confucius to Jesus to Lu Hsun; from mums and dads to men and women; from history textbooks to Chinese holidays; from trains to planes to automobiles…
