About the Speaker
Ching Cheong graduated with a degree in economics from the University of Hong Kong in 1973 and joined the newspaper Wen Wei Po in Hong Kong in 1974 and became its deputy editor-in-chief in 1988. He quit the newspaper in 1989 in protest against the Tiananmen crackdown and founded a China-watch magazine, The Contemporary. In 1996 he became chief China correspondent for Singapore’s Straits Times.

In his 35-year long journalistic career, Ching specialized in political, military and diplomatic news in the Greater China area and had widespread postings experiences in Hong Kong, Beijing, and Taipei. In 2005, his critical analysis led to his imprisonment in China. During his incarceration, the local and international press community extended him great support, which led to his early release in 2008.

His other works include A Journey to the Far West of China (1985), Reflection on the Tian An Men crisis (1990), Will Taiwan break away? (2000), Handbook on China’s Accession to the WTO and its impact (2003), The Arduous Road of Patriotism (2005), and My 1000-day Ordeal (2009).

About the Book
The book is about the origin and end of the 1967 riots in Hong Kong. A trove of information has been unveiled for the first time, based on a chronicle kept by a senior official, Ng Tik-chou, who assisted then Premier Zhou Enlai in managing the riot, which was instigated by local communists.

About the Moderator
Kiang Kwan Sang graduated from the School of Chinese of the University of Hong Kong in 1976. He has worked as a newspaper journalist and public affairs reporter for television. He is also the author of two volumes about the history of the Chinese Communist Party in Hong Kong, The Chinese Communist Party in Hong Kong (Vol. 1) [1921-1949] and (Vol.2) [1949-2012].

香港大學許士芬地質博物館特於2018年瀕危物種日推出 「香港活化石」專題展覽 - 馬蹄蟹的演變史

展出日期：即日至2018年11月4日

這次專題展覽將會展出遠溯至4億7千5百萬年前的馬蹄蟹和其他被喻為活化石物種的化石, 展場內並有馬蹄蟹的真身, 從中了解牠們的的演變史和生活方式，包括身體結構、生命週期、棲息地等多方面介紹及對比古早時期與現今生存在香港的不同馬蹄蟹族群。參觀者有機會近距離觀察馬蹄蟹和了解各部位的功能，深入了解其生活方式如何幫助牠們成功應對數億年來的環境變化。

香港水域內, 馬蹄蟹的身影曾經頗為常見，多數分佈在各個海灘的潮間帶和泥灘上，但由於人類在沿海區域的開發、挖蜆、過度捕魚活動等，香港野生馬蹄蟹數目在2000至2009年間已大幅度減少百分之九十。如不再採取相關的保護措施，馬蹄蟹可能很快便會在香港消失，難以延續「活化石」的傳奇。

除了馬蹄蟹, 香港海域亦可找到另外兩種較少人認識、同被喻為活化石的物種: 原始腕足動物海豆芽和有點像小型鰻魚的文昌魚的化石，亦將於是次展覽展出。
