| Description: | Built by a group of Chinese leading figures on land granted by the Government in 1913, the Aberdeen Chinese Permanent Cemetery opened two years later and became the first permanent and non-religious Chinese cemetery in Hong Kong. Quite a number of famous Hong Kong people in the early days were buried here, including former president of Peking University Cai Yuanpei, eminent philanthropist Fung Ping Shan and renowned calligrapher Feng Shihan. For those who were buried here at that time, their headstones would usually be engraved with epitaphs written by reputable scholars, detailing their life stories and giving the epitaphs another level of meaning. This talk will explore the stories behind the epitaphs and discuss the historical landscape of Hong Kong in depth. |
