Hong Kong Heritage Museum
To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Dr Louis Cha (Jin Yong), Hong Kong Heritage Museum and Guyu Cultural Development Foundation are honoured to jointly organise the exhibition “A Path to Glory – Jin Yong’s Centennial Memorial, Sculpted by Ren Zhe”. Renowned sculptor Ren Zhe brings 22 of Jin Yong’s characters to life in unique representations infused with visionary creativity, alongside captivating multimedia installations created by artist Victor Wong. This exhibition will fully immerse visitors in Jin Yong’s imaginary world of martial arts. Inside the exhibition gallery will also be found a reading corner organised by the Hong Kong Central Library, where visitors can explore the library’s collections of Jin Yong’s compelling works, which include audiobooks.
To tie in with the centennial memorial, the family of Dr Louis Cha will donate the bust of Dr Cha, created by Ren Zhe, for displaying at the museum’s Jin Yong Gallery from 16 March 2024 onwards.
The programme is also one of the activities in the Chinese Culture Promotion Series. The LCSD has all along promoted Chinese history and culture through organising an array of programmes and activities to enable the public learn more about broad and profound Chinese culture.
