On Heritages
“ We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.. . ”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson/ Oscar Wilde/ Anonymous
We see the story of Humanities and Human Civilisation as a continuous journey.
Some said that it began several hundred thousands years ago at somewhere in Africa before Homo Saipens started to go out of the cave; others that it could have begun much earlier and that civilisations from somewhere else in the Universe could have played a part.
Whatever the case, it appears to us that it is an unusual and remarkable journey, along which many people; societies and civilisations have contributed and left their marks.
Hong Kong is a very very small participant in such long and grand journey of Humanities. Still, we believe that the city does has made something interesting and different during its modest period of existence and has left its marks in certain areas which probably does worth the interest and attention of some other members of the Humanities.
These constitute what we mean by HERITAGES and we believe that Hong Kong does has some Heritages to share with the rest of the world , alongside with many others which we shall also endeavour to preserve and bring to the attention of other participants in the journey of Humanities.
