Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) is hosting the “Qiaopi History and Cultural Exhibition (Hong Kong, China Station)” from 5 to 10 November 2025 at the Amphitheatre, Li Promenade, Shaw Campus, Kowloon Tong. The exhibition’s opening day drew enthusiastic crowds of faculty and students, and was covered by journalists from the Xinhua News Information Centre. 

“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 engaging displays, visitors can gain insights into the historical value, cultural significance, and global influence of Qiaopi. 

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. Following its successful showcasing in Singapore, Indonesia, and Macau, China, this Hong Kong, China stop continues to celebrate the treasures of Chinese cultural heritage.
