This historic image captures the visit on February 20, 1923 by Dr. Sun Yat-sen, a graduate of the Hong Kong College of Medicine for Chinese, a forerunner of HKU. By this time he was a global figure, credited with helping lead the Xinhua Revolution that ended imperial rule, at which point he was elected Provisional President of the Republic of China. He delivered a public address at the Great Hall, starting his speech with these immortal words: “I feel as though I have returned home because Hong Kong and The University of Hong Kong are my intellectual birthplace.”
此相片極具歷史價值,記錄了孫中山博士於1923年2月20日到訪香港大學。孫中山博士畢業於香港西醫書院,該校是香港大學的前身。孫博士於辛亥革命中領導各方結束帝制,其後獲選為中華民國臨時大總統。此時,孫博士已經成為國際知名人物,他在大禮堂演說時,以此佳句開首:「我有如遊子歸家,因為香港與香港大學乃我知識之誕生地。」
By any standards, 1911 was a momentous period in world history shaped by scientific discovery, political uprising, and cultural progress. It was also the year in which The University of Hong Kong was founded for the “promotion of learning, arts, science, and research”, so that students of all races, nationalities, and creeds could fulfill their potential to achieve a better life.
This year, we are honoring the 111th Anniversary of HKU with the release of our first ever NFT art works. This special series pays tribute to the women and men who have committed their lives to our university, as well as the current generation of academic leaders who use their skills, knowledge, and compassion to serve their communities.
The NFTs have been created using rarely seen images from the HKU Archives. Each work tells a unique story. We thank you for supporting HKU through this dynamic journey of art and culture.
