History is a summation of wisdom and experience, also holding a sense of nostalgia for one's homeland and people. In rapidly changing Macao, the city's appearance transforms daily, yet the one constant is that unforgettable warmth of human connection. Writings on Macao's history contain this profound and thought-provoking meaning, inviting readers to stroll through old streets and lanes, imagining the details of life in the city's past. Dr. Ho Wai Kit, Assistant Professor in the Department of History at the University of Macau, will share the nuances between text and historical sites, guiding a reflection that traverses past and present.
Ho Wai Kit Born in Hong Kong with a heart for Macao, yet aspiring to travel the world. Active and energetic in youth, he discovered the wonders of knowledge upon entering university. Passionate about literature, music, film, history, and culture, he is fortunate to have turned his interests into a profession. His works and translations have been published in Macao, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Having worked in libraries, government, educational institutions, and media, he feels everyone has a story and the world is full of wonders. Lamenting the passing of youth and the swiftness of time, he enjoys wandering old streets and lanes, imagining the lives of people from the past. Since life is short, why not travel the world together, observing the cultural landscapes of both East and West?
Mok Sio Chong History is more dramatic than drama itself. Mok Sio Chong will use his experiences from several theatre creations based on local historical stories and community oral histories as a path to share how a theatre practitioner approaches Macao's history like the blind men and the elephant, contemplating the relationship between history and contemporary social realities.
