Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) will host the “Qiaopi History and Cultural Exhibition (Hong Kong, China Station)” to be on display from 5 to 10 November 2025 at the Amphitheatre, Li Promenade, Shaw Campus, Kowloon Tong. This exhibition, guided by the Xinhua News Agency Guangdong Branch and the Information Office of the People’s Government of Guangdong Province, is organised by the Information Office of the Shantou Municipal People’s Government and the Guangdong Centre of the Xinhua News Information Centre, with support provided by the HKBU Foundation.

“Qiaopi” refers to the unique combination of remittances and family letters that overseas Chinese sent back home in bygone eras. These documents served as vital connections between diaspora communities and their homeland. The exhibition delves into this cultural phenomenon in five major thematic sections: “Setting Sail Overseas”, “Moonlight over Foreign Lands”, “Letters as Vessels”, “Trust Across the Seas”, and “Lingering Echoes of Chaoshan Heritage”. Through the exhibition’s immersive displays and rare historical artefacts, visitors will gain insights into the historical value, cultural significance, and global influence of Qiaopi.

Following the exhibition’s successful showcasing in Singapore, Indonesia, and Macau, China, this Hong Kong, China stop will further illuminate the treasures of Chinese cultural heritage. By spotlighting the resilience and patriotism of early overseas Chinese, it serves to rekindle the cultural identity among Chinese communities worldwide while also fostering meaningful cultural exchange between China and the rest of the world.

You are most welcome to visit the exhibition!
