In support of the Hong Kong Pop Culture Festival 2024 which themed on “Arts & Action”, and the first Hong Kong Reading for All Day, the Hong Kong Public Libraries organises a creative writing event cum roving exhibition on the theme of “Chivalrous Heroes: My Favourite Characters in Martial Arts Novels” for primary and secondary school students. Heroes in martial arts novels are generally admired for their physical prowess and strong sense of righteousness. Through this event, we would like to encourage children and young people to learn about martial arts novels and to share with the public through pictures or prose the chivalry and patriotism of the characters, their personalities or plots in the novels that are worth learning from. Let reading nourish their life and foster positive values.

This exhibition is also one of the activities in the Chinese Culture Promotion Series. The LCSD has long been promoting Chinese history and culture through organising an array of programmes and activities to enable the public to learn more about the broad and profound Chinese culture.

Since its publication in 1955, “Jin Yong's novels” has become a term with multiple interpretations. Different generations and age groups may encounter different editions of Jin Yong's novels, as well as TV dramas, movies, comics, and more. Over the past seventy years, these have woven together to form the world of "Jin Yong's Jianghu". During the talk, the speaker pieces together the contemporary landscape of Jin Yong's Jianghu and reads the novels with readers again, in order to discover the piece of puzzle in everyone’s hands.

"Multi-dimensional Reading of Jin Yong's Martial Arts Novels" Subject Talk is a tie-in activity of “Hong Kong Pop Culture Festival 2024”. The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) presented the first Hong Kong Pop Culture Festival last year to great acclaim. This year, the second edition features "Arts & Action" as its theme, taking audiences on a journey through time to explore the charm of Hong Kong's pop culture. It encompasses both "Arts" (creative works) and "Action" (martial arts), an attempt to show the dynamic inheritance, diffusion, integration and breakthroughs within Hong Kong's pop culture.

The event lineup offers a diverse range of formats including thematic exhibitions, film screenings, stage performances and outreach activities, and its rich content spans across literature, various art forms and martial arts, clearly showcasing how Hong Kong's vibrant and diverse pop culture stands out from the rest.
