  • Culture and Sport
    CULTURE AND SPORT Culture and Sport Eastern and western cultures have co-existed in Macao for over 400 years. A wide variety of cultural traditions, languages, values, religious beliefs, and customs have all existed side by side and influenced one another. Out of this melting pot, a regional culture unique to Macao has gradually developed into its present richness. Macao’s culture is thus a diverse mixture, with traditional Chinese culture as its heart, and it has assimilated Western, particularly Portuguese, cultural influences in perfect harmony. Following its policy of promoting Chinese culture while preserving the unique pluralistic cultural heritage of Macao, the Government has hosted various cultural and artistic activities invited art troupes from mainland China and overseas, as well as Macao, to perform. These have created opportunities for audiences to learn more about the history, society, and culture of different regions, as well as enhancing cultural exchange and the quality of cultural life of Macao’s residents. Cultural Affairs Bureau The Cultural Affairs Bureau is a Government department that sets out the Government’s key objectives in cultural matters. The bureau is responsible for protecting cultural heritage, giving guidance on aesthetic appreciation, supporting community organisations, nurturing talent in arts and culture, developing local cultural industries, as well as organising cultural entertainment programmes, such as concerts, exhibitions, seminars, music classes, dance, drama courses, Macao International Parade, Macao International Music Festival, Macao Arts Festival, Macao City Fringe Festival, China Cultural Heritage Day, Macao Youth Music Competition and Macao Annual Visual Arts Exhibition. It also provides subsidies for different cultural and art programmes as well as scholarships to support the publication of research and advanced studies about arts.

  • Ms Ng Wing-Mui DOCTOR of HUMANITIES Honoris Causa Citation
    Ms Ng Wing-mui DOCTOR OF HUMANITIES honoris causa Citation Ms Ng Wing-mui, well known as “Mui E” (Auntie Mui), is a master singer in both Cantonese operatic song yuetkuk and Cantonese narrative singing naamyam. Mui E began singing these two genres in her teens. Having been a professional singer since she was seven, Mui E made a name when she was thirteen. Since the 1930s, she has made music with all of the celebrated artists of Cantonese music of the time. With eighty years of practice and performance experience, Mui E excels in the two genres of yuetkuk and naamyam and is now considered a grand master artist of shiniang qiang (style of the blind female singers). In her early years she learnt from gushi (blind male singers) Liu Jiu and shiniang Renxin and Yinjiao, capturing the essence of Cantonese naamyam singing. In addition to being a gifted singer, Mui E is also a very talented instrumental performer. She is especially skilled in two musical instruments, the long-neck plucked lute qinqin and the hammered dulcimer yangqin. In the late 1930s and early 1940s, the prominent Hong Kong Cantonese musician, Siu Tit- hung, composed the famous piece “Flowing Water and Moving Clouds”. Chan Luk-ping of Macau set this melody with lyrics and turned it into a well-known piece of Cantonese operatic song yuetkuk, “My Man Returns Late”. At thirteen, Mui E premiered the song and immediately gained a reputation in Hong Kong and Macau. Knowing of Mui E’s talent and fame, Siu went to Macau and played his musical instruments to Mui E’s singing.

    Heightening Sense of Crises over Press Freedom in Hong Kong: Advancing “Shrinkage” 20 Years after Returning to China April 2018 YAMADA Ken-ichi NHK Broadcasting Culture Research Institute Media Research & Studies _____________________________ *This article is based on the same authors’ article Hong Kong no “Hodo no Jiyu” ni Takamaru Kikikan ~Chugoku Henkan kara 20nen de Susumu “Ishuku”~, originally published in the December 2017 issue of “Hoso Kenkyu to Chosa [The NHK Monthly Report on Broadcast Research]”. Full text in Japanese may be accessed at http://www.nhk.or.jp/bunken/research/oversea/pdf/20171201_7.pdf 1 Introduction Twenty years have passed since Hong Kong was returned to China from British rule. At the time of the 1997 reversion, there were concerns that Hong Kong, which has a laissez-faire market economy, would lose its economic vigor once the territory is put under the Chinese Communist Party’s one-party rule. But the Hong Kong economy has achieved generally steady growth while forming closer ties with the mainland. However, new concerns are rising that the “One Country, Two Systems” principle that guarantees Hong Kong a different social system from that of China is wavering and press freedom, which does not exist in the mainland and has been one of the attractions of Hong Kong, is shrinking. On the rankings of press freedom compiled by the international journalists’ group Reporters Without Borders, Hong Kong fell to 73rd place in 2017 from 18th in 2002.1 This article looks at how press freedom has been affected by a series of cases in the Hong Kong media that occurred during these two decades, in line with findings from the author’s weeklong field trip in mid-September 2017.
