TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS, Quoting from the Former Ode on the Red Cliff, “Do you know of the water and the moon? The river flows endlessly, yet it never disappears. The moon waxes and wanes, yet it never grows bigger or smaller. Therefore, if you look in the eyes of change, everything in this world changes in an instant. But if you look in the eyes of stability, everything in the world, including humanity, is eternal.” Dozens of words have demonstrated precisely the truth of the changing universe. The changes of the water and the moon happen on their appearances, but never on their physical natures. Therefore, whether changes happen depends on people’s mind and view. Since nothing remains permanent in the world, change is just the eternal fact. Entering the 12th Five-Year Plan, different sectors in China are moving on a development track as well as facing various new opportunities and challenges. Amidst the changing and sophisticated global landscape and economic environment, countries are proactive in looking for ways to overcome the current crisis. Like biological evolution, “survival of the fittest” during the course of reformation is to adapt to changes in the surrounding environment and make changes accordingly. Going through the time of a fishing port, entrepot trade development, light industry development in the 50’s and 60’s, and then the major development of financial and service industries, nowadays, Hong Kong has already transformed from a tiny fishing village to an international financial centre, and is even becoming an offshore Renminbi centre. Such remarkable economic achievements were the results of the joint efforts of Hong Kong people, who leveraged upon their adaptive capabilities to tap into development opportunities and forge ahead. New World Group has been acting in the same way to achieve its clear and practical goal of maximising shareholders’ returns by adopting appropriate strategies, optimising products and services based on market trends. Whilst having a long standing history, the Group often reviews its operating strategies. Our improvement and innovative ideas have never been hindered by our proven record, which instead has paved the way for determined, practical development and new directions. As Confucius said, “Reviewing what you have learned and learning anew, you are fit to be a teacher.” New ideas can be gained through reviewing past experience. Inspirations and thoughts may even come from failures in the past. This is because modern and advanced technologies as well as new knowledge are able to make up the shortcomings of and add value to old methods. Going forward, the Group will continue to press ahead steadily with an open mindset, a practical attitude, a broad vision and a unique insight, adhering to its ultimate objective of serving the nation and the wider community in the changing landscape. Dr. Cheng Yu-Tung Chairman Hong Kong, 29 September 2011 New World Development Company Limited Annual Report 2011 07 Managing Director’s Report The Group will keep monitoring the risks affecting our operations and adjust our plans and executions for the best interests of the Group’s stakeholders. 08 TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS, After a short-term stabilisation in 2010, external risks include slow economic recovery in US, sovereign debt crisis in Europe, social unrest in North Africa and Middle East are increasing economic uncertainties. Among all countries, China’s economy is expected to deliver the best growth. While the system risk of global economy is increasing, Hong Kong has still achieved a reasonable economic growth with GDP increased by 5.1% in real terms over a year earlier in the second quarter of 2011 and its unemployment rate was at a record low of 3.2% from June to August 2011. Favourable conditions still persist in Hong Kong property market. Mortgage rate is expected to stay low for a while. Though there is more land supply released by the Hong Kong Government, the shortage of physical market has not been jeopardised as the demand remains stable. The Group has re-launched The Masterpiece in August 2011 with satisfactory response. So far, over 40 units were sold. In the coming 12 months, the Group will launch six residential projects to provide attributable 1,949 units according to market condition. To take care of the underprivileged, Premier Wen Jia-Bao has just depicted publicly again the determination to provide affordable housing and has introduced the idea of public rental housing. This act is good for long-term development of housing market as the underprivileged will gradually migrate to middle income class with the government “subsidy”. Like a lot of developed countries, the abundance of middle-income class is crucial for the healthy development of the property market. Recently, apart from implementation of tightening measures on certain cities, the Central Government also allows a reasonable advancement of residential property prices based on local economic improvement such as GDP growth. It is expected by the market that the Central Government will further fine-tune those austerity measures in order to consolidate and enhance the positive results of austerity and effectively manage inflation to ensure stable development of the market in due regard to the situation of the local and the global economic development. Overall, the Group is cautiously optimistic about the Mainland China property market. We will continue our development plan to tap into the huge opportunities brought by the urbanisation in Mainland China according to the good side of the market. At the same time, we also hold a prudent approach in developing our Mainland China operations by appropriately adjusting our plan according to market and policy variations. Service and Infrastructure businesses generate sustainable cashflow. In the 12th Five-Year Plan, the reinforcement of expressway network remains an important target for Mainland China. Road operators will not only benefit from greater investment opportunities, but also a more developed and comprehensive road network.

    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

  • RED BOAT TROUPES and CANTONESE OPERA By
    RED BOAT TROUPES AND CANTONESE OPERA by LORETTA SIULING YEUNG (Under the Direction of Jean N. Kidula) ABSTRACT: The Cantonese opera, one of China’s major operas, was inscribed as a valuable world heritage to be preserved by the United Nations in 2009. Because Cantonese people have migrated to many continents, performances, practitioners, and audiences, listeners have expanded to beyond Guangzhou in China, and Hong Kong to diasporas. The Red Boat Troupes were influential in shaping contemporary Cantonese opera. They were performing troupes that used boats for transportation between towns and villages in the Pearl River Estuary from the late Qing dynasty until 1938. These boats were specially designed for opera troupes. The boats also served as sleeping quarters for performers, musicians, apprentices, stagehands, and sailors. Many Red Boats were destroyed during the Japanese invasion of China in 1938. Unfortunately, in just 70 years, no more Red boats seem to exist. This study situates the historical background of Cantonese Opera and Red Boat Troupes. Culture, function, life style, the art, performance practice, aesthetics, and music of Cantonese opera in the Red Boat society are examined. The thesis also looks into the social and economic understandings that brought about the demand for the Red Boat Troupe industry. Changes due to modernity, industrialization, metropolitan living, trade, colonialism, Westernization, and improved transportation affected the development of Cantonese opera. Feminist movement, cross-gender performance, economics, and class issues historically associated with the opera are examined and compared to recent activities in Hong Kong, and in one Cantonese diaspora, Vancouver of Canada. The findings from the research shed light on the genre with a hope of preserving the heritage and increasing the practice and consumption of Cantonese opera.
