(Central News Agency, Reporter Wang Bao-er, Taipei, April 30) The Central News Agency, witnessing Taiwan's development and transformation, has launched a new book titled 'Hakka Light: Collective Imaging Driving the Era Forward.' Starting May 3rd, a photography exhibition will also be held at the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, featuring over 100 images that embody the strength of the Hakka community.
The preface writers and recommenders for 'Hakka Light: Collective Imaging Driving the Era Forward' include Hakka Affairs Council Chairperson Ku Hsui-fei, and National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University Honorary Professor and 2025 Hakka Contribution Award 'Lifetime Contribution Award' recipient Chang Wei-an.
In her preface, Ku Hsui-fei pointed out that 'the 21st century has passed a quarter of its time, and it is a good time to review the past and confirm the direction.' She believes that the thoughtful planning of this book lies in visualizing and inscribing the diverse and inclusive 'island DNA' onto its pages.
Chang Wei-an believes that the book 'Hakka Light: Collective Imaging Driving the Era Forward' highlights Hakka social power and cultural power, 'making us deeply believe: Hakka will synchronize with Taiwan's resilience, inclusiveness, and diverse strength, continuing to stride forward.'
The 'Hakka Light: Collective Imaging Driving the Era Forward' photography exhibition further uses 'imaging' as an analogy for photo development, connecting over 100 precious images to show how the Hakka community transformed from long-ignored 'invisibles' to 'present figures' in the public sphere, becoming an important force driving society. In addition to historical photos and text, the exhibition also features bilingual captions in Chinese and English, as well as Hakka guided tour services.
'Hakka Light: Collective Imaging Driving the Era Forward' exhibition will run from May 3rd to May 20th, located in the Central Corridor of the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. (Edited by Chen Ching-fang) 1150430
