Isla de Lintin

La isla de Lintin o isla Nei Lingding (en chino, 内伶仃岛en chino simplificado, Nei Lingding Dao; literalmente, ‘isla interna Lingding’）es una pequeña isla de China localizada en el estuario del río Perla, en la provincia de Cantón. Aunque se encuentra más próxima a la costa oriental del estuario (Hong Kong y Shenzhen), administrativamente es parte de la ciudad-prefectura de Zhuhai, cuyo principal centro administrativo se encuentra en la orilla oeste del río. Historia Cuando el explorador portugués Jorge Álvares desembarcó en mayo de 1513 en la isla Nei Lingding (conocida en las primeras fuentes europeas como isla de Lintin),​ esa fue la primera llegada conocida de un barco de bandera europea para anclar en la costa de China.​ A principios del siglo XIX, la isla Nei Lingding (Lintin) fue llamada el «anclaje exterior» (outer anchorage) para los buques europeos que viajasen a CAntón. Tenían que parar en la isla, ser su carga inspeccionada y medida por los funcionarios de aduanas chinos estacionadas en la isla, y pagar los derechos de aduana. Cuando en 1821 el gobierno chino prohibió la importación de opio en los puertos del país, Lintin se convirtió en una base de los traficantes de drogas; viejos barcos armatostes, anclados cerca de la isla, sirvieron como almacenes y depósitos, donde el opio importado volvía a cargarse en botes más pequeños que se introducían de contrabando en Cantón y otros puertos.​ Desde la década de 1830 y hasta la conquista de Hong Kong en la década de 1840, la isla de Lintin fue la base principal para los comerciantes británicos en la zona del Delta del Río Perla.​ ​ Reserva natural Desde 1984,​ una parte de la isla forma la «Reserva Natural de la isla Neilingding y Futian (福田)». La reserva cubre 7,8 km², incluyendo 4,5 km² de superficie de tierra y 3,0 km² de bosque de manglar, y fue creado para proteger a unos 300 macacos y otros animales, como pangolines y pitones.​ Véase también Isla Wai Lingding (isla aguas afuera de la isla Lingding) que está a 40 km al sureste, en el archipiélago Wanshan.

Nei Lingding

Nei Lingding, ou Ilha Nei Lingding, também conhecida por Lintin ou Ilha Lin Tin, é uma ilha no estuário do Rio das Pérolas, no sudeste da província chinesa de Guangdong. Embora esteja localizado mais perto da costa oriental (Hong Kong e Shenzhen) do estuário, era até 2009 administrativamente parte da cidade de Zhuhai, cujo centro administrativo principal fica situado na costa ocidental do rio. Em 2009, a jurisdição de Nei Lingding foi entregue a Shenzhen. História Em maio de 1513, o explorador português Jorge Álvares chegou a uma ilha perto da costa da China a que ele chamou de "Tamão". Este foi o primeiro contacto dos europeus com a China através da rota marítima em torno do Cabo da Boa Esperança. Tamão foi fortificada por Simão de Andrade e assaltada pelos chineses durante a expulsão dos portugueses na década de 1520. A Ilha de Nei Lingding, a principal ilha situada na foz do Rio das Pérolas, a 6 km do continente, é identificada por J.M. Braga como Tamão nas fontes portuguesas, sendo largamente seguida pelos eruditos ocidentais; no entanto, recentemente os eruditos chineses consideraram essa identificação insuficientemente comprovada e sugerem uma série de outras ilhas potenciais, incluindo a Ilha de Lantau, próxima mas muito maior. A partir de 1814 Nei Lingding (então romanizada como "Lintin") foi chamada o "ancoradouro exterior" para navios europeus que viajam a Guangzhou. Eles teriam que parar na ilha, ter sua carga inspeccionada e medida pelos funcionários aduaneiros chineses estacionados na ilha, e pagar direitos aduaneiros. Em 1821, quando o governo chinês proibiu a importação de ópio para os portos do país, Lintin tornou-se uma base para traficantes de drogas; ancorados perto da ilha, serviam como armazéns e depósitos onde o ópio importado seria recarregado em barcos menores para serem contrabandeados para Guangzhou e outros portos. Edmund Roberts visitou a ilha em 1832, e observou que havia "sete a oito navios" de contrabando de ópio, incluindo barcos americanos. A partir da década de 1830 até a cessão de Hong Kong na década de 1840, Lintin foi a base principal para os comerciantes britânicos na área do delta do Rio das Pérolas. A ilha foi um ponto de parada durante a estação das monções para a reparação de navios; nestas alturas, os navios permaneceriam na ilha mais de seis meses. Referências

Our Lady of Fatima Church, Hong Kong

Our Lady of Fatima Church (Chinese: 花地瑪聖母堂) is a Roman Catholic parish church located in Cheung Chau Island, Hong Kong. Brief History According to the Hong Kong Diocese heritage website, the original church was a simple stone house located at 245 Tai San Street in Cheung Chau. Until in early 1952, the first church building was constructed at 1 Church Road in Tung Wan, Cheung Chau. The inauguration ceremony was presided over by Auxiliary Bishop Francis Hsu, and Father Luigi Locatelli of the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions served as the first parish priest. In 1959, the church underwent the expansion work, and it was complete on 13 November 1961. The new church was connected to the original church, with a total area of 5,534 square feet and able to accommodate 200 parishioners. The original church building was used as the Sacred Heart Kindergarten. As part of the extension, one additional floor was also added on the right side of the church to house the Parish Office. Every October each year, the church will organize a huge festive procession marking the anniversary of the Fatima apparitions. The church is one of the Hong Kong Diocesan Jubilee Pilgrimage Shrine during the 2000 Jubilee Year and the 2025 Jubilee Year. See also List of Catholic churches in Hong Kong References
Fukien Secondary School

Fukien Secondary School (Chinese: 福建中學) is a Direct Subsidy Scheme co-educational secondary school in Ngau Tau Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong. It is sponsored by the Fukien Chamber of Commerce and was founded in 1951. History The school was founded by the Fukien Chamber of Commerce in 1951 in an apartment building in Western. It moved to a new campus on Java Road in North Point in 1966, and then to Kwun Tong in September 2000. Amid criticism of falling English standards among Hong Kong students in the late 1990s, the Education Department invited ten Chinese-as-medium-of-instruction schools to teach a maximum of three subjects in English. Under this scheme, the school began in 2000 to offer an English stream, teaching certain history, maths, and science courses in English. Starting from the 2013–2014 academic year, all junior secondary (S1–S3) classes have adopted English as the medium of instruction. The school has a policy of "bi-literacy and tri-lingualism". The school, along with its sister schools managed by the same sponsor, was criticised in 2002 for asking students and parents to attend a pro-Beijing demonstration at Victoria Park in support of the controversial Article 23 national security law. The head of the Professional Teachers' Union condemned the "use of students for political purposes". In mid-July 2009, the Fukien Chamber of Commerce took over the sponsorship of Pegasus Philip Wong Kin Hang Christian Primary cum Junior Secondary School in Yau Tong, and renamed it the Fukien Secondary School Affiliated School. This came after the school's original operator, the Pegasus Social Service Christian Organisation, abruptly pulled its sponsorship in May 2009. The Chamber bought 60 new computers and refurbished the libraries, gymnasium, and table tennis room. The former Pegasus students also had to sing the Chinese national anthem at assembly for the first time.

Mu Kuang English School

The Mu Kuang English School (Chinese: 慕光英文書院; Jyutping: mou6 gwong1 jing1 man4 syu1 jyun6) is a secondary school on Kung Lok Road, Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong. It is a non-government school funded under the Direct Subsidy Scheme. History The school was founded by Elsie Elliott in Kai Tak New Village in 1954 with an enrolment of 30 squatter and refugee children. Classes were held under makeshift canopies, and Elliott supported the school financially by teaching in other schools. Andrew Tu Hsueh-kwei, whom Elliott married in 1985, became headmaster of the school. The school accommodation was doubled in size in 1958 thanks to a donation from Mr. N.V.A. Croucher. "Mu Kuang" (Chinese: 慕光; Jyutping: mou6 gwong1) means "yearning for light" in Chinese. The school was so named in reference to a "thirsting for the light of learning and truth". Elliott later quipped that the name came to refer to a literal thirst for daylight, since it was so dark inside the former British Army tent in which classes were initially held. Owing to the "extreme poverty and suffering" in the area, the school staff tried to undertake relief work near the school. A simple clinic was set up at the school for emergency treatment. A formal social welfare clinic, offering medical services and distribution of relief food, was set up at the school with the assistance of members of the Guild of Saint Helena in 1959. About five years after its founding, the school moved to occupy two storeys of a building on Nga Tsin Wai Road. It later expanded with two branches, on Lion Rock Road and Prince Edward Road respectively. The school took out an interest-free government loan of $2 million and raised an additional $600,000 to build a permanent school building. On 28 November 1972, the new 60,000 square feet (5,600 m2) school building was opened on Kung Lok Road, Kwun Tong by the Director of Education, J. Canning. It was built to accommodate 1,400 pupils. The building was designed by architect P.K. Chan and built by the Hoover Construction Company. A new building wing was added in 1986 directly to the north of the older one. Description Mu Kuang English School is a co-ed institution with media of instruction of English and Chinese (Cantonese). As of 2015, the school had a staff of 72 teachers. 'Mu Kuang was the first school in Hong Kong to introduce Korean as part of its regular curriculum in September 2021', according to an article by The Japan News.

Kwun Tong Swimming Pool

Kwun Tong Swimming Pool (Chinese: 觀塘游泳池) is a public swimming pool in Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong and is the largest swimming pool complex in Kwun Tong District. It is located south of Tsui Ping Estate and is close to Kwun Tong and Lam Tin stations. Currently, it is managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department of Hong Kong Government. Covering an area of about 23,038 m2, there are multiple outdoor indoor swimming pool facilities, which provide residents in the district with all-day indoor and outdoor swimming venues. It is also a popular choice for residents of East Kowloon to learn to swim. History The old Kwun Tong Swimming Pool, built and originally managed by the Urban Council, opened on 25 July 1971. The Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club donated HK$5,410,000 toward the construction of the swimming complex, which was located immediately north of the current pool. It was formally opened on 30 October 1971 by Princess Anne. In 2000, the Urban Council was disbanded by the government, and management of the swimming pool became the responsibility of the newly formed Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD). The government proposed in 2002 to build the Kwun Tong Town Hall and rebuild the Kwun Tong Swimming Pool on the original swimming pool site, but this plan was shelved in 2006. The Leisure and Cultural Services Department applied for funding in 2009 to build a new Kwun Tong swimming pool on the old site of the Kwun Tong Recreation Ground Football Field, which was constructed by Gammon Construction and was opened on 1 April 2013. It was officially opened by the late Florence Hui on 26 October 2013.
