《念∙ 高錕》巡迴展覽 Remembering Charles Exhibition

“如果事事以金錢為重，我告訴你，今天一定不會有光纖技術成果。”—高錕教授 

今年9月23日是香港中文大學第三任校長及諾貝爾獎得主高錕教授逝世一年，高錕慈善基金為此特意舉辦名為《念∙ 高錕》巡迴展覽，回顧「光纖之父」一生的成就和他對科學、教育及社會所作的貢獻。

展覽展示教授的成長、科研上的成就、個人理念對研究的影響和與家人的生活點滴等。展品包括諾貝爾物理學獎章複製品、光纖實物、教授生活照、中大工程學院時間軸、香港中學會考證書及接受藝術治療期間所創畫作等。近年大學檔案得到高黃美芸女士（高錕太太）慷慨捐贈教授相關的文獻 ，包括二百多張教授及家人在60-70年代所拍的幻燈片，今次透過借出展品，將數碼化後的影像呈現在大家眼前。

展覽於9月16日在中環交易廣場開幕，之後移至香港視覺藝術中心，最後一站為中文大學圖書館。透過這個展覽，希望為中大學生、職員及校友帶來對高錕教授的一點回憶，並對腦退化症多一些了解。

“If everything is money-oriented, I will tell you that there will be no fibre optic technology achievements today.” --Professor Charles Kao 

Professor Charles Kao, the third Vice-Chancellor of CUHK and Nobel Prize Laureate passed away on 23rd September 2018. On the anniversary this year, the Charles K. Kao Foundation for Alzheimer’s Disease has organized a roving exhibition “Remembering Charles” to highlight the contributions which “Father of Fiber Optics” had made to science, education and the society.

The display panels showcase momentous life events of Professor Charles Kao, his achievements on science, philosophy of life and memories of his family. Exhibits include a replica of Nobel Prize medal, sample of glass fiber optic bundles, Professor Kao’s Hong Kong School Certificate, and artwork produced by Professor Kao during his art therapy treatments, etc. Some digitized images of slides are on display as well. These slides, donated by Mrs. Gwen Kao to the University Archives, were taken by Professor Kao in the 1960s-70s recording his family life and pleasure trips.

 The exhibition commenced on 16th September at Exchange Square and then moved to Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre. CUHK University Library is the last stop of the exhibition, we hope the exhibition can bring back fond memories of Prof. Kao, and raise the awareness of dementia to the community.
