The exhibition has been curated by Chungwen Li, Dean of the Ming Ai Institute, and includes a special section focusing on the Hong Kong adoption programme<\/p>\n
Cost:\u200b\u200b\u00a35 per person donation to the Chinese Centre + \u00a31 refreshments (children free)<\/p>\n
Chungwen Li will give a talk on \u201cChinese community in the UK\u201d, lead a private tour of the exhibition at the China Exchange in Chinatown (http:\/\/chinaexchange.uk\/), and present a project\/research proposal on \u201cour group\u201d which will depend on funding and interest from us. She would very much like to undertake research into our personal journeys here, exploring archives in HK of the orphanages and those who would have been part of our early lives as we made our way to our new life in the UK.<\/p>\n
Chungwen will be asking for any adoptee who would like to be involved in this project to let her or Jasmine know. This is different from the academic research Julia Feast did as it will be more personal to us. This will be a unique and exciting project, enabling us to understand a little more of our early life in HK.<\/p>\n
As usual, we will finish our reunion with a meal \u2013 tba.<\/p>\n

\nOur hosts will require a list of attendees for security\/fire evacuation purposes. We also need to know numbers for catering and to book the restaurant. We anticipate a good attendance at this meeting, but it can be difficult to find a restaurant capable of accommodating large numbers especially at short notice. It is therefore essential to confirm your attendance ASAP and no later than Saturday 17th December. Email confirmation to: hkadoptees@btinternet.com<\/a><\/p>\n
