贈言 臺灣月深植香港

 2006年光華新聞文化中心主任路平與我提出「臺灣月」的構想,本人即視發揚臺灣文化為己任,全力支持。看著臺灣月的十年成長,中間歷任羅智成、張曼娟、李應平及現任主任盧健英,每一任皆戮力以赴,使得「臺灣月」這深具意義的文化盛事,年年在香江綻放,成為香港獨一無二的臺灣文化盛會,本人深感與有榮焉。

 

    十年之間,臺港經貿以及社會的變化甚大,臺灣在文化上的傳承與深耕則展現了其厚積薄發的實力,2013年我欣賞了國光劇團的《百年戲樓》創新的京劇形式,吸引了許多年輕觀眾,便讓我印象深刻。而近年來隨著臺港社會互動更深,臺灣月的節目規畫更深入香港各區,以藝術教育的型式接觸了更多香港觀眾,這也是我看到臺灣月對香港社會的貢獻。

 

    看著臺灣月年年節目精采,創意多元,長期參與「臺灣月」的本人,宛如看見自己的孩子成長茁壯,深感驕傲。最後我要祝福為「臺灣月」用心演出的藝術家,感念各位的全心付出,讓我們每年十月都有一個光華燦爛的「臺灣月」。

   It was 2006 when Lu Ping, then director of Kwang Hwa Information and Culture Center, came up with the idea of “Taiwan Culture Festival”. It had my full support as I took promoting Taiwanese culture as my responsibility. Since then, the festival has gone from strength to strength, through the direction of Lo Chih-cheng, Chang Man-chuan, Lee Ying-ping and, currently, Lucy Lu, who have done their absolute best to put together the inspiring annual event. I am much delighted to witness the development of a significant, uniquely Taiwanese cultural occasion in Hong Kong.

 

    Over the past decade, Taiwan and Hong Kong have gone through a period of social and economic change, while the former has also displayed a profound sense of vitality with its cultural depth and inheritance. In Taiwan Culture Festival 2013, for instance, GuoGuang Opera Company’s One Hundred Years on Stage attracted many young viewers with its innovative Peking opera format, leaving an indelible impression on me. With deeper social interactions between the two places in recent years, the festival has even penetrated into different communities in Hong Kong, reaching out to a wider audience through art education and reflecting how Taiwanese culture has contributed to local society.

 

My long-term involvement in Taiwan Culture Festival, which annual program has been rooted in diversity and creativity, makes me feel like a proud parent watching my own child grow up healthy and strong. Finally, I would like to send my best wishes to all the participating artists, whose passion and wholehearted commitment bring to fruition a glorious month of Taiwanese culture every October.
