ISBN: 978-988-15777-2-6 Printed in Hong Kong by Chung Tai Printing & Hot Blocking Co. Foreword Dr. Yip Chee Tim It is indeed my pleasure to read all these wonderful pieces of literary works by our students. The articles, in one way or another, display the talent of the students of Pui Ching. They can write extremely well. I am deeply touched by their beautiful style of writing. Their skills in writing bring forth special effects to impress those who enjoy reading. I am much impressed. Good works speak for themselves. Yip Chee Tim Principal 4 January 2013 Words from the Editors Subsequent to the previous revised publication of Oasis, there comes the heartwarming applause from various sides. With the precious experience and generous comments, we are now very honored to present to the readers yet another issue of this continual series, with a compilation of our students’ creative expression of their perception towards life. Oasis is a collection of essays, which are primarily the creative work of our students who, through constant practice of reading and writing as well as shrewd observations of their immediate world, pour out their hearts in the form of short stories, novella, letters, diaries and articles. We understand that such precious perception and spontaneity towards life should never be allowed to be laid waste and it is our very aspiration to cultivate creativity in young leaders even at their early age. Sharing of insights, nourishing of the writing culture and appreciating of literary writing can inspire introspection and unleash the beauty of human minds, thus rekindling our passion for living. Linguistically speaking, it is indeed also our intention to help our students to master the language to express themselves more than adequately. We are so blessed that teachers and students are so supportive in conceiving as well as giving birth to this publication, despite all the sweat and blood through the travails. In taking greater pains to bring forth this issue into existence, we very much hope that when you are reading through the pages, savouring a line or two, may you envisage the oasis of freshness on the parched land of modern hectic life.

  • Choice of Foreign Names As a Strategy for Identity Management
    Intercultural Communication Studies XVII: 2 2008 Cheang Choice of Foreign Names as a Strategy for Identity Management Justina Cheang, University of Macau Regardless of the fact that Macau’s dominating population are Chinese, English names, or to be more exact, foreign names, are favored and widely used, be it in the businesses, the government, or education institutions. Though Chinese (Cantonese) is spoken by most in the city, local Chinese people’s favor in the use of English/foreign names, whether they are students, civil servants, or working in the business, does reflect their taste and their desired image to be displayed to others. Interviews are conducted showing that people’s choice of English/foreign names are somehow a strategy for identity management – certain names are chosen to show a pleasant personality, or other desirable qualities that they wanted to project to others. It is interesting to note that, other than English names, people would choose Portuguese names, Japanese names, names of things (non-proper names), or even people’s own creation for use. A Chinese saying: “One does not fear if he/she has a bad fate; what one fears most is to be given a bad name.” Rather than a Chinese saying, this should also be a universal consideration when most parents all over the world are finding names for their children. Most people get their names when they are born, and very often they themselves are not involved in the decision-making. What if we get a chance to decide on our own name? To get a name by oneself is probably a very unique trend in Asia, and especially, the Chinese communities.

  • Projective Assessment of Body Image Among Young Chinese in Hong Kong
    Intercultural Communication Studies XXIII: 3 (2014) LEUNG Projective Assessment of Body Image among Young Chinese in Hong Kong Vivienne LEUNG Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong S.A.R., China Abstract: This study posits that the inner vision of self and body image can be explored via projective assessment, as human beings do not learn through rational cognitive processes alone. The study’s aim is to reveal intrapersonal and spontaneous self and body conceptions. Both the rational and unconscious minds are believed to contribute to total body image. A role-play cloning exercise, in which participants were asked to act as if they had to clone a person and to draw their ideal self in a focus group setting, was carried out to reveal individuals’ subliminal and idealized body images. Participants were asked to create a clone with their desired body image based on their initial spontaneous instinct. The results show that although the idealized thin body images conveyed by the media do lead to perceived body image discrepancies, individuals do not necessarily compare themselves upwardly with an exemplar, as previous studies have suggested they do. Intriguingly, idealized body images were found to adhere closely to individuals’ real selves. This research constitutes the first use of a projective role-play cloning exercise to explore unconscious body perceptions in the body image arena. Keywords: Projective measurement, body image, role-play cloning, Chinese young people, media influence, unconsciousness. 1. Introduction In the realm of body image, media always project an unapproachable thin-idealized image that it is difficult, if not unhealthy, for average people to achieve.

    THE GREATEST CANTOPOP SONGS OF ALL TIME! Forty years ago, Hong Kong saw the birth of Cantopop, a style of music which would become one of the city’s most iconic cultural offerings.

Distinction in China—the rise of taste in cultural consumption 3 Abstract This research studies how cultural consumption draws cultural distinctions in the most developed megacities in China. This research examines the pattern of music consumption to examine distinction—which types of music are used, how they are used, who are using them, and what are the sources of those tastes. Although some theories, such as the cultural omnivore account, contend that the rise of contemporary pop culture implies a more open-minded pursuit of taste, this research argues that popular culture draws distinction in new ways.
