「金庸傳奇：百年誕辰紀念研討會」於2024年5月21日（星期二）在英國劍橋大學費芝威廉博物館（The Fitzwilliam Museum）舉辦並圓滿結束，當天四位專家講者為英國劍橋大學費芝威廉博物館亞洲器物負責人林政昇博士（Dr James C.S. Lin）、英國劍橋大學的盎格魯- 撒克遜，北歐和凱爾特系名譽副研究員許約恆博士（Dr Jonathan Hui）、《俠之大者－金庸百年誕辰紀念》策展人方圓明先生（William Fong）以及《射雕英雄傳》的英文版其一譯者郝玉青女士（Anna Holmwood）［補充：此書另一合作譯者為張菁女士（Gigi Chang）］，在此鳴謝他們的分享。

當天早上，我們很榮幸獲得英​​國劍橋大學費芝威廉博物館亞洲器物負責人林政昇博士的專家導賞，他在中國及東亞的展區為我們詳盡講解文物和歷史知識，他提到中國昔日瓷器外銷發展蓬勃，對其他國家的製瓷技術也帶有正面影響。而在場的嘉賓在答問環節踴躍提出問題，林博士一一耐心解答。

很榮幸是次活動獲香港駐倫敦經濟貿易辦事處撥款贊助，並獲得費芝威廉博物館和香港文化博物館的鼎力支持。研討會於當天下午一時半開始，香港駐倫敦經濟貿易辦事處處長羅莘桉先生以視訊形式致歡迎辭。而本學院董事會主席柳代立教授致歡迎辭時亦提到金庸先生對海外華人的影響，「他不僅是一位文學巨匠，更是一位文化大使，他的故事一直激勵和團結世界各地的華人團體」。而本學院院長李中文女士則擔任研討會主持，當天的研討會的上半部份由《俠之大者－金庸百年誕辰紀念》策展人方圓明先生分享他舉辦展覽的策展理念和由來，他說到任哲先生的雕塑有機會讓普羅大眾更深入了解金庸筆下的這些角色，並走進其武俠世界。而費芝威廉博物館亞洲器物負責人林政昇博士則分享他對金庸筆下古墓派及相關中國古墓考古發現提出深入見解，他欣賞金庸先生學識淵博，充分把中國歷史知識應用在其武俠小說當中，如小說提到吃丹藥可以長生不老，正好與當時道教追求長生不老和古墓出土的文物印證一樣，體現金庸先生的小說考證當時的歷史背景。

在下半部的研討會，《射雕英雄傳》的英文版其一譯者郝玉青女士則提到擔任翻譯和中文書籍出版經紀人的不易，她的分享引起線上觀眾對此方面的好奇，她亦十分用心解答有關提問。而英國劍橋大學盎格魯-撒克遜，北歐和凱爾特系名譽副研究員許約恆博士的講解則圍繞莎士比亞對金庸《天龍八部》一書的影響，他舉出莎翁筆下奧賽羅與金庸所寫喬峰兩人的相似之處，他對兩位中西文學巨匠的分析為大家提供一個全新的角度。研討會結束後，大家移師到劍橋市一中餐廳晚膳，來賓們表示在金庸先生百年誕辰可以到訪英國劍橋參加相關講座，令活動更添意義，感謝來賓遠道而來。正如本學院董事會主席柳教授所言，金庸先生的貢獻在於他作品的凝聚力，其作品就像一道橋樑，讓我們與傳統文化連接，讓我們的價值觀連結，亦連繫我們的身份認同。

"The Literary Legend and Legacy of Jin Yong: Centennial Memorial Seminar" was held on 21 May 2024 at the Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge, and concluded successfully. The four expert speakers included Dr James Lin (Senior Curator of Chinese Art at the Fitzwilliam Museum), Dr Jonathan Hui (Honorary Research Associate, Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic, University of Cambridge), Mr William Fong (Curator of the "A Path to Glory - Jin Yong's Centennial Memorial" exhibition) and Ms Anna Holmwood (one of the translators of the English version of "Legends of the Condor Heroes"). [Additional: Another translator of the same book is Ms Gigi Chang.] We would like to thank them for their sharing and participation.

That morning, we were honoured to receive an expert tour from Dr James Lin. He gave us a detailed explanation of cultural relics and historical knowledge in the Chinese and East Asian exhibition areas. He mentioned the development of China's porcelain exports in the past, which has boomed and positively impacted porcelain-making technology in other countries. The audiences actively raised questions during the Q&A session, and Dr Lin patiently answered them one by one.

It is a great honour that this event is sponsored by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in London and has received strong support from the Fitzwilliam Museum and the Hong Kong Heritage Museum. The seminar started at 1:30 pm. Mr Gilford Law (the Director-General of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in London) delivered a welcome speech via video. Professor Jonathan Liu (Chairman of the Board of Trustees at Ming-Ai (London) Institute) also presented the welcome speeches. He mentioned Jin Yong’s influence on overseas Chinese in his welcome speech: “Jin Yong is not only as a literary giant but as a cultural ambassador whose stories continue to inspire and unite the Chinese
diaspora across the world.” Ms Chungwen Li (Dean of the Ming-Ai (London) Institute) served as the host of the seminar. The first part of the seminar was conducted by Mr William Fong, who shared his curatorial concept for the exhibition. He said it is a good opportunity for the general public to gain a deeper understanding of the characters in Jin Yong’s works through Mr Ren Zhe’s sculptures and to enter his martial arts world. Dr James Lin shared his in-depth insights into Jin Yong’s Tomb Sect and related archaeological discoveries in ancient Chinese tombs. He appreciated that Jin Yong was knowledgeable and fully applied Chinese historical knowledge in his martial arts novels. For example, the novel mentions that taking elixirs can lead to immortality, which aligns with the Taoist pursuit of immortality at that time, and the cultural relics unearthed from ancient tombs confirm this, reflecting the historical background of Jin Yong's novels.

In the second part of the seminar, Ms Anna Holmwood mentioned the difficulty of being a translator and Chinese book publishing agent. Her sharing aroused the curiosity of the audience, and she also answered relevant questions attentively. Dr Jonathan Hui focused on Shakespeare's influence on Jin Yong: Othello and The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. He cited the similarities between Shakespeare's Othello and Jin Yong's Qiao Feng, and his analysis of these two giants of Chinese and Western literature provided everyone with a new perspective. After the seminar, everyone enjoyed dinner at a Chinese restaurant in Cambridge. The guests said that attending a seminar on the centenary of Jin Yong’s birth made the event more meaningful. We would like to extend our thanks to the guests for coming all the way. As Professor Liu said, Jin Yong’s contribution lies in the cohesion of his works: “His works have been more than just stories; they have been bridges connecting us to our heritage, our values, and our identity.”

Guqin was one of the four traditional arts, alongside calligraphy, painting, and an ancient form of chess, while the violin is acknowledged as the queen of Western musical instruments.

In addition to the guqin and violin, this concert also featured Chinese musical instruments such as dongxiao, guzheng, tanggu (Chinese drum), and bianzhong. Furthermore, the historical photos provided by the Hong Kong Heritage Museum were displayed alongside different songs, offering a rich and diverse audio-visual experience for the audiences. During the event, the Lord Mayor of Westminster, Cllr Patricia McAllister, praised the old photos of Hong Kong and expressed a particular appreciation for the work of the renowned photographer, Mr. Chan Chik.

Lee K*m Kee Europe is the project's event sponsor. We would like to express our gratitude to Lee K*m Kee (Europe) Limited for providing meal sponsorship, as well as sauces for our tasting session, and for assisting in our tasting session. Sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami are the five taste elements. We divided the sauces into six pairings for the volunteers to taste, but they were not aware of each sauce in advance. The sweet combination consisted of Sweet Soy sauce and Hoisin sauce; the salty one included Premium Light Soy Sauce and Premium Dark Soy Sauce; the bitter taste was represented by Angostura aromatic bitters; the sour flavour consisted of Seasoned Rice Vinegar and Mature Vinegar; the umami flavour comprised of Lee K*m Kee Premium Oyster Sauce and Panda Oyster Sauce; and the spicy sauces were Hot Chilli Soy Sauce and Chui Chow Chilli Oil.

On that day, many volunteers found the tasting session intriguing. For example, they felt that Premium Light Soy Sauce evoked more memories and food association, which may be attributed to the fact that Premium Light Soy Sauce is used to elevate the flavour in dishes, while Premium Dark Soy Sauce is used to add colour. In addition, when comparing two types of oyster sauce, most volunteers thought that Lee K*m Kee Premium Oyster Sauce provided a more prominent umami taste. After tasting Seasoned Rice Vinegar and Mature Vinegar, some volunteers also favoured the former, associating it with foods like dumplings.

We will have two project training workshops for volunteers on "Behind the scene: film and images collection" and "Unlock the hidden secrets of the British Chinese community" at the London Metropolitan Archives. Please stay tuned with us for future updates.

「憶味」項目於2024年1月16日在英國倫敦大都會檔案館展開的首場義工培訓，其中一節為嚐味環節。

在此感謝李錦記（歐洲）有限公司（Lee K*m Kee (Europe) Limited）除提供膳食贊助外，還為我們的嚐味環節贊助醬料，並特意派出市場部同事協助。配合以五味為題的「甜、鹹、苦、酸、鮮」，我們把醬料分成六組供義工們嚐味，而他們事前並不知道各款醬料。甜味的組合為港式甜醬油和海鮮醬；鹹味為特級鮮味生抽和特級老抽；苦則是安格仕苦精；而酸味為醇釀調味香醋和醇釀陳醋；鮮味是舊庄特級蠔油和熊貓牌鮮味蠔油；還有辣的醬料分為辣椒豉油和潮州辣椒油。

當天不少義工對嚐味環節感到新奇，譬如他們回應較對生抽所帶來的回憶多於老抽，其原因可能是生抽味道較濃郁以至容易辦識，而老抽的作用主力為食物帶來濃厚的色彩。另外，相比兩款蠔油，他們大多認為舊庄特級蠔油的鮮味更出色、蠔味較濃郁。部份義工在品嚐醇釀調味香醋和醇釀陳醋後，亦較鍾愛前者，並能從中聯想到餃子等食品。

接下來，我們在倫敦大都會檔案館仍有兩場義工培訓，分別為「幕後製作：影片與圖像搜集」和「解密在英華人社群」。請密切留意我們屆時的相關分享。
