Dr Sun Yat-sen was a pioneer of China's democratic revolution, whose revolutionary course was inextricably bound to Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. He wrote tirelessly throughout his life. From the earnest appeal for reform in his Letter to Li Hung Chang, to the grand blueprint of the Plans for National Reconstruction, and finally to the heartfelt message delivered in his will, these documents were more than just declarations to the old world, they were also testaments to his open-minded approach towards building a new China.

This year marks the 160th anniversary of the birthday of Dr Sun. The Sun Yat-sen Library of Guangdong Province, the Hong Kong Public Libraries, the Macao Public Library and the Macau University of Science and Technology Library jointly organise the thematic exhibition " A World of Beauty, Told Through Old Pages — Exhibition of Sun Yat-sen Documents from Libraries in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao", bringing together precious materials from the three places covering different periods of his life, such as historical documents, photographs, renowned publications, research findings and commemorative works.

The modernisation blueprint set out by Dr Sun has already taken root in the land of China. Let’s be inspired by the perseverance of Dr Sun, pass on his indomitable spirit, and work together towards the full reunification and rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in the new era.

Library book collections are vulnerable to environmental conditions, human handling and natural wear and tear. Over time, paper inevitably ages and bindings can become loose or fall apart. The exhibition showcases the specific conservation methods and preventive measures for extending the lifespan of the book collections.

Hong Kong’s industrial development can be traced back to traditional handicraft workshops during the Song and Yuan dynasties. In the mid-19th century, Hong Kong evolved into a major trading port, giving rise to modern industries. By the mid-20th century, labour-intensive industries such as textiles and garments began to thrive in Hong Kong. The 1970s saw the emergence of industries such as toys, electronics, and watches and clocks. Together, these industries became key pillars of the local economy in the 1980s. This document display revisits our industrial development and examines its impact on popular culture, while celebrating the resilience of workers and entrepreneurs who have made significant contributions to our economy.
