Hong Kong Festival '92
       The purpose of our present project "Hong Kong Festival
  '92" is to showcase the success of modern Hong Kong society.
  Traditionally, the image of Hong Kong has been that of an
  typical oriental city full of mystiques, complete with 
  sampans and rickshaws. Therefore, in this project, we set
  out to present Hong Kong as it really is : the modernity and
  cosmopolitan nature of our city, the achievement of our
  industry and commerce, and the ingenuity, the hard work and 
  the adaptability of the Hong Kong people. 
      This project is jointly organised by : 
    Cal State Long Beach(CSULB), Hong Kong Student Association
    Long Beach City College(LBCC), Chinese Student Union 
    Pasadena City College(PCC), Hong Kong Student Association
    East Los Angeles College(ELAC), Hong Kong Student Association 
    Univ of Calif, Los Angeles(UCLA), Hong Kong Student Union
    Univ of Southern California(USC), The Hong Kong Club

Program description
 
  Photo Exhibition
  In the  minds of  a great  many Americans  still think  that Hong  Kong 
  is an old-fashioned oriented  city. Nowadays Hong  Kong, however, is a  
  well developed industrial and  financial center. As  part of Hong Kong  
  Festival 1992, this exhibition presents "What Hong Kong really is?" as  
  well as "A retrospective of some interesting historical fragments about 
  Hong Kong" to the general American public.
  There  are   six  main   topics  in   this  exhibition,  they   include  
  "History   &    Culture",    "Education",    "Industry",   "Commerce",    
  "Infrastructure Development", and "Best of Hong Kong". We all hope that 
  you can  gain  a  different  perspective  about  Hong  Kong  from this  
  exhibition.
