| Description: | The Tung Wah Group of Hospitals is the oldest charitable organisation in Hong Kong. Since its founding in 1870, Tung Wah has provided extensive free services to local residents, mainland compatriots and overseas Chinese. From time to time, the organisation would receive plaques and couplets as tokens of gratitude. Each plaque and couplet bears witness to the history of Tung Wah’s century-long charitable endeavours. Some of them were from the directors of Tung Wah or Kwong Wah; some came from fraternal charitable organisations in the Pearl River Delta that used to work closely with Tung Wah; others were gifted by beneficiary organisations for relief of natural disasters, war and famine. There are extraordinary stories behind them, and this talk will feature the most representative plaques and couplets along with their stories. |
