About
This talk leads us into the forgotten emotional dimensions of Chinese migration journeys in Canada. Through farewell letters, everyday advertisements, and community news in The Chinese Times (the longest-running Chinese-language newspaper in Canada, from 1915 to 1992), we glimpse fragments that may seem small yet rich with meaning. These stories not only record history but also shed light on the wandering, courage, dreams, and dignity carried by those who lived at the margins. Presented by Dr. Yao Xiao in Cantonese.
本次講座帶領我們走進加拿大華人被遺忘的情感世界。透過《大漢公報》的告別書信、生活廣告與社區新聞，我們得以窺見許多看似微小卻飽含深意的片段。此中故事，不僅記下一段段歷史，更訴盡多少人在邊緣的徘徊、勇氣、夢想與尊嚴。粵語講座，由蕭堯博士主講。
