Exhibition of Chinese Autographed Books of China and Singapore Modern Authors

Duration of Exhibition: 10 April 2008 (after 12 noon) – 9 May 2008
Exhibition venue: Nanyang Technological University Chinese Library (S3.2 Level B5)

“Exhibition of Chinese autographed books of China and Singapore modern authors” is an exhibition jointly organized by the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Library and the Chinese University of Hong Kong Library. The exhibition will be launched at the NTU Chinese Library on 10 April 2008.

The autographed works of 54 Chinese writers and 12 Singapore writers will be on display during the one-month long exhibition. Most of the autographed works from the Chinese writers are on loan from the Chinese University of Hong Kong Library, a portion of the works are from the private collection of Mr Chen Shuyu. The other autographed works of Singapore writers are from the collection in the NTU Library.

This is the first time such an exhibition is held in Singapore. The aim is to provide visitors with the opportunity to view a vast array of Chinese literature works up close. Each autographed work bears the penmanship of the writer and as such, each volume is a rare work of cultural value that reflects the verisimilitudes of human emotions.

The works are not only academic research volumes of great historical value, they are also precious cultural artifacts that will enchant visitors visually.
