The Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) inaugurated the “Exhibition of the Legacy of Zheng Guanying” on the third floor of the Zheng Guanying Memorial Museum yesterday to promote the deeds and contribution of Zheng Guanying, who was a Chinese thinker in modern China.
Featuring various themes including Zheng’s ideas on reform, the Self-Strengthening Movement, applied literature, ancestral lineage, Zheng’s family’s charity work, and a century of change in the Mandarin’s House, the exhibition showcases over 100 items such as writings, documents, letters, photographs, plaques and couplets.
Revealing the significant influence of Zheng’s reform ideas in late Qing dynasty, which inspired Emperor Guangxu, Sun Yat-sen, Mao Zedong and other historical figures, these exhibits also highlight the Zheng family’s roots in Macau and their charitable contributions.
The museum is open daily from 10 am to 6 pm (no admission after 5:30 pm), including public holidays, except on Wednesdays. For enquiries contact 2835 7911.
