HKBU Century Club (The Club) and HKBU Alumni Theatre were invited by Hong Kong Coalition to produce and perform a drama “Malan Flower Blooms”. The drama depicts the story of Mr Deng Jiaxian, a Chinese theoretical physicist and nuclear physicist named as the “Patron of the Two Bombs and One Star” by the Chinese government. The drama has significant education value, and also resonates with the atmosphere of promoting technological development advocated by the HKSAR government. The drama performance will be staged from 4 to 6 October for 4 sessions at the Jockey Club Auditorium, Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

The kick-off ceremony of the rehearsal was held on 9 June. The ceremony was graced by the presence of Hong Kong Coalition’s representatives, including Mr Tam Yiu-chung, Secretary-General; Ms Iris Wong, Chief Officer, and Mr Lawrence Fung, Project Officer; as well as other honourable guests, including alumna Jenny Wong (Media Management), Special Assistant of Chief Executive’s Office; alumnus Wong Nga-chung (Business Management), Honorary University Fellow; Professor Nagar Lai, Entrepreneur Committee member of HKBU Foundation, and a number of guests.
