A Vibrant Showcase of Traditional Culture and Creative Brilliance


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 December 2024 – Co-organised by the Jao Tsung-I Petite Ecole at The University of Hong Kong (HKU), the Jao Tsung-I Academy of Sinology at the Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU), and the University of Macau, A Legacy Across Lingnan: Jao Tsung-I in the Greater Bay Area Student Competition invites full-time secondary and tertiary students from Hong Kong and Macau to participate. Through this competition, students gain insight into the life of Jao Tsung-I, a preeminent scholar in Chinese studies, and are inspired to explore traditional Chinese culture, fostering greater cultural awareness and a deeper appreciation of the Lingnan region. The competition features two categories: Article / Dissertation Submissions and Creative Artistic Works. The Award Ceremony is being held on Saturday (30 November) at the Dr Hari Harilela Lecture Theatre, Shaw Campus, Hong Kong Baptist University, to honour teachers and students, present prizes, and celebrate their remarkable achievements.

The Jao Studies Foundation

The competition commenced in March, and to complement the event, the Jao Tsung-I Petite Ecole (HKU) opened its doors to the public for the first time. Visitors had the opportunity to admire Professor Jao Tsung-I’s donated paintings, calligraphy, and other artefacts related to him, as well as to view rare treasures from his personal collection that had never been publicly displayed before. Additionally, in May, the competition organised an exchange and field trip for Hong Kong students to the University of Macau and the Jao Tsung-I Academy (Macau), helping them prepare for The Story of Jao Tsung-I Student competition.

The competition attracted around 70 entries from Hong Kong and Macau, involving a total of 130 teachers and students. The submissions showcased a wide range of formats, including essays, music videos, calligraphy, paintings, digital illustrations, historical scripts, novels, and handicrafts. Participants came from nine secondary schools and five universities, comprising local schools, international schools, and special education schools. Notably, entries from special education schools excelled in the Creative Artistic Works category, achieving exceptional results.

The total value of scholarships awarded in the competition surpassed HK$250,000, generously sponsored by the Jao Studies Foundation and Mr Alberto Lei. To further encourage participation, certificates of commendation were presented to the teachers and schools of the winning students. Experts in Jao Studies from Hong Kong and Macau served as judges for the competition, and their comments on the winning entries in each category are available in the appendix: A Legacy Across Lingnan: Jao Tsung-I in the Greater Bay Area Student Competition Awards Ceremony Judges’ Comments.

Professor Lee Chack Fan, Director of the Jao Tsung-I Petite Ecole said: “I am truly pleased to see that more than ten schools from Hong Kong and Macau, involving over 130 teachers and students, took part in this competition. The entries, which included novels, plays, traditional calligraphy and paintings, digital illustrations, documentaries, clay sculptures, handicrafts, and audio-visual works, were impressively diverse and distinctive. They explored Professor Jao’s remarkable contributions across various regions of the Greater Bay Area from multiple perspectives, while also showcasing the boundless creativity and imagination of young students—a brilliant demonstration of the seamless integration of traditional culture and innovation.”

“Of particular note is the champion entry in the dissertation category, which focused on Professor Jao’s poetry collection Changzhou Ji. The choice of topic was thoughtful and demonstrated keen insight, successfully identifying key features of Professor Jao’s poetics—a truly commendable achievement. Once again, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the award-winning students and encourage them to continue striving for excellence, reaching new heights, and achieving exceptional success in the future.”

Professor Chen Zhi, Director, the Jao Tsung-I Academy of Sinology of Hong Kong Baptist University stated: “Professor Jao Tsung-I’s academic legacy in the Greater Bay Area not only preserves profound cultural memories but also fosters a vibrant cultural spirit rooted in continuous growth and bold innovation. This competition has clearly showcased the younger generation’s deep cultural awareness of Chinese traditional civilisation, as they have successfully transformed these invaluable cultural resources into creative expressions that resonate within a contemporary context.”

Mr Alberto Lei, Chief Benefactor and Director of Friends of Jao Tsung-i Petite Ecole praised the participants: “”A Legacy Across Lingnan: Jao Tsung-I in the Greater Bay Area”, jointly organised by three universities in Hong Kong and Macau, brought together over 100 teachers and students from the two regions. This meaningful initiative not only offered young students valuable opportunities to deepen their understanding of traditional Chinese culture but also strengthened educational and cultural exchange within the Greater Bay Area.”

“It is highly commendable that the participating students delved into and appreciated Professor Jao Tsung-I’s academic and artistic legacy, while harnessing their creativity and imagination to showcase the unique characteristics and cultural richness of the region. I sincerely hope these students will continue to engage with and preserve traditional culture in the years to come, achieving even greater accomplishments.”

Mr Paul Pang, Dean of Students, University of Macau said: “University of Macau, in collaboration with two universities in Hong Kong, co-organised this student competition to meet the educational need of nurturing young students’ understanding of traditional Chinese culture, while also providing a valuable platform to strengthen educational, cultural, and artistic exchanges within the Greater Bay Area.”

“The enthusiastic participation of students from Macau is particularly praiseworthy, as they demonstrated a proactive attitude in exploring and appreciating Professor Jao’s academic and artistic legacy in the region. Their submission of a wide range of essays and creative artistic works thoroughly impressed and delighted the judging panel. I encourage these students to continue preserving and promoting traditional culture, and I look forward to seeing them achieve even greater successes in the future.”

Dr Lesley Lau, Director of Sun Museum and Judge of Creative Artistic Works category said: “I am truly pleased to see the impressive diversity in the entries submitted for the Creative Arts category. By exploring Professor Jao’s footprints in the Greater Bay Area, students have creatively used the language of art to express their own interpretations of Professor Jao, while also highlighting the unique characteristics and rich cultural essence of the region.”

“To the award winners, I would like to share Professor Jao’s principles for life, ‘Retaining a persistent will uneroded by aeons; maintaining a placid mind even in the midst of a stream’.

Wong Hoi Chak

(Comment from Professor Lee Chack Fan)

The essay thoughtfully begins with the Xiling Seal Art Society and expands to explore the study of calligraphy. The author’s narrative is clear and engaging, first recounting their personal journey of getting to know the renowned sinologist Professor Jao Tsung-I, and then highlighting Professor Jao’s significant achievements, especially his contributions to the Greater Bay Area. The essay maintains a strong focus on the theme, is well-organized and articulate, and demonstrates the commendable sense of responsibility young people feel in preserving and promoting Chinese culture.

The essay offers a comprehensive and detailed account of Professor Jao’s contributions to Dunhuang studies, Hong Kong history, and Hong Kong education.

Hong Kong Baptist University

Zhang Zi Xuan

(Comment from Professor Chen Zhi)

This essay is rich in content, thoughtful in its analysis, and written with clarity and precision, occasionally presenting thought-provoking insights. The argumentation is well-organised and methodical. Of particular note is the author’s adept use of textual evidence from inscriptions and colophons to corroborate and illuminate specific works in the Changzhou Ji, offering a compelling analysis of the connections between Professor Jao’s poetry—its language, allusions, and ideas—and the traditions of classical poetics. This reflects the author’s deep understanding of Professor Jao’s contributions to poetic scholarship.

The essay is carefully structured, providing a thorough and insightful study of the Changzhou Ji as a unique case. However, due to space constraints, the exploration of the specific connotations of travails (meaning bracing for potential risks even when the going is good, being mindful of possible problems, being alert to dangers even in times of calm) and the literary-historical significance of these poems remains an area for further in-depth interpretation.

The artist centers the composition on the dynamic motion of Professor Jao’s calligraphy, thoughtfully integrating and surrounding him with iconic architectural features from various regions of the Greater Bay Area, arranged in carefully layered progression from distant to near.

Expereo Reveals the Top Trends Transforming Asia Pacific Connectivity in 2025


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 December 2024 – Expereo, the world leading global intelligent internet company that connects people, places and things anywhere, today reveals the top trends that are poised to transform the Asia Pacific (APAC) connectivity landscape in 2025.

Expereo anticipates that Asia will be a global powerhouse of economic growth, driven by a digitally savvy population and the rapid adoption of emerging technologies. Estimates from the International Monetary Fund suggest that the APAC region will contribute 60% to global growth in 2024[1]. However, Expereo emphasizes that this growth is reliant on robust and reliable connectivity solutions that enterprises can tap on to navigate the region’s unique complexities.

“Asia is on the cusp of a digital revolution, and connectivity will be the key to unlocking its full economic potential,” says Eric Wong, President of Asia Pacific, Expereo. “But it is not just about closing the digital divide and helping underserved populations to get online. Businesses today and tomorrow are being pushed to innovate and deliver new value for their customers. This requires agile, resilient, secure, and scalable connectivity solutions that can adapt to the rapid pace of technological change.”

Key drivers shaping the Asia Pacific technology landscape in 2025
The following trends highlight the critical importance of digital infrastructure and connectivity as foundational pillars for global business growth:

  • The rise of a hyper-connected APAC: Driven by a digitally savvy generation and rapid technological advancements, the APAC region is experiencing an unprecedented surge in digital infrastructure investments, in response to the widespread adoption of 5G, IoT, and AI across the region that is pushing the boundaries of traditional infrastructure. By 2025, 60% of APAC organizations will adopt AI language models tailored for local markets[2]. These technologies demand high bandwidth, low latency, and unwavering reliability, driving significant investments in advanced connectivity solutions and data centers to support innovation and growth.
  • Increased digital expansion in emerging markets: Investors and multinational corporations are looking to emerging Asian markets for growth, driving further demand for robust and reliable connectivity solutions. A recent report from Moody’s Ratings notes that data center capacity in the APAC region is projected to increase at a compound annual average rate of almost 20% through 2028, from the current capacity of over 10,500 MW to 24,800 MW[3]. At the same time, APAC will constitute about 30 percent of global capacity expansion over the next five years. This influx of capacity growth underscores the critical role of digital infrastructure in supporting economic growth and enabling businesses to capitalize on new opportunities.
  • Regional Integration and collaboration for growth: Initiatives like the Digital Silk Road and ASEAN’s digital integration efforts are fostering cross-border connectivity that is creating new opportunities for businesses. At the same time, Asia’s diverse geopolitical landscape presents unique challenges, with the APAC region yet to adopt a consolidated model of digital governance like in the EU. Nevertheless, Asian countries are focusing on digital regulation with an eye towards stricter controls on technology use, particularly concerning AI governance and data privacy. Hong Kong, for example, launched a policy blueprint for responsible AI use in finance[4], aiming to balance innovation and risk management. As such, finding the right partners to help organizations navigate these complexities will be important in ensuring compliance and to mitigate potential disruptions, while maximizing the benefits of innovation.

Connectivity as the foundation for global business growth
These trends clearly demonstrate that digital infrastructure and connectivity are no longer just supporting elements, but rather foundational pillars for global business growth. In this evolving landscape, businesses need to:

  • Prioritize investment in next-generation network and connectivity: Organizations should invest in next-generation network technologies, such as 5G and WiFi 7 to support high-speed data transfer, low latency, and increased capacity for connected devices. This technology will be crucial for applications that require real-time data processing, such as IoT devices and telehealth systems. Technologies like low-earth orbit satellites can also be integrated as part of a connectivity strategy to bridge connectivity gaps, not just to minimize the impact of terrestrial infrastructure vulnerabilities, but also to address the growing demand for connectivity in the maritime and aviation sectors.
  • Embrace security resilience: As connectivity enables new avenues for business growth, cybersecurity risks are also getting increasingly complex. Organizations must invest in comprehensive cybersecurity frameworks that protect sensitive data and ensure compliance with international data protection regulations. At the same time, organizations must ensure employees are up to date on cybersecurity best practices to mitigate risks associated with remote work and digital collaboration.
  • Double down on strategic partnerships: To navigate the complexities of new markets, organizations should establish strategic partnerships with technology providers that have deep local expertise. Partnerships like these also enable insights into market dynamics, local consumer behavior, and regulatory environments. This approach can facilitate smoother market entry and reduce operational risks, while maximizing the benefits of regional integration and digital transformation initiatives.

“Connectivity is not just about technology; it’s about fostering trust, collaboration, and innovation in a complex global business environment,” adds Eric. “Expereo is committed to helping businesses in Asia navigate these complexities and leverage the power of connectivity to shape the future of their organizations, and to help them achieve their growth ambitions.”

On 21 November, Birth Spaces, a performance created by anthropologist Pascale Hancart Petitet and theatre director Thiane Khamvongsa, was presented at the Fanglao BlackBox choreographic center in Vientiane.

The show, which combined theatre, dance, and live music, shared the stories of women giving birth in remote areas where healthcare is limited and cultural traditions are strong. 

The event attracted 150 people from Laos and around the world.

Birth Spaces focused on the strength of these mothers and the challenges they face, such as the decline of traditional midwives in rural areas. It also raised questions about motherhood, culture, and power.

“This play aspires to give a voice to these women outside their immediate village setting, so that these voices and these stories travel outside of this space and time” said director Thiane Khamvongsa. “The central idea of the staging is to interpret, through theater and dancing, the testimonies obtained during the ethnologic research, and so to recount the cultural heritage of which these practices result and address the dynamics of social relations and power relations within the village.”

This collaboration aims to be a new means to share the results of scientific research with a broader audience, beyond just academic readers.

This is the second time that Lao-French director Thiane Khamvongsa, a Knight of the Order of the Arts and Letters, has created a choreographed theatre performance based on the work of PhD anthropologist Pascale Hancart Petitet.

Their previous project, Live with It, created five years ago, focused on research by the Institute of Research and Development and the University of Health Sciences of Laos. It addressed the social and health challenges faced by migrant workers living with HIV in Laos and toured across the country.

“Birth Spaces”, directed by Thiane Khamvongsa and based on the work of Pascale Hancart Petitet, is choreographed by Noutnapha Soydala, and performed by actors and dancers Violette Eeckhout, Thatsanyvanh Louanglath, Noutnapha Soydala, Thiane Khamvongsa and Viengnakhone Xayasone, accompanied by musicians Sinthavong Sengmounthong and Khampanya Lastvong.

This production was supported by the Fondation Pierre Fabre, AUF-Laos, Institut de recherche pour le développement (IRD), and Expertise France. “Birth Spaces” will reprise in Vientiane and tour in Luang Prabang, Savannakhet and Pakse in April 2025.

ENN Energy Releases the 2024 Edition of “Decarbonisation Action 2030 – The Journey to Net Zero”

Achieving Several Low-Carbon Transition Targets Ahead of Schedule, Updating Net-Zero Roadmap

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 December 2024 – ENN Energy Holdings Limited (stock code: 2688; “ENN Energy” or “the Company”), one of the largest clean energy distributors in China, recently published the 2024 edition of “Decarbonisation Action 2030 – The Journey to Net Zero” (the “Decarbonisation Action 2024”). This report comprehensively reviews the progress of the targets set in the inaugural Decarbonisation Action 2021, highlights key actions taken in various business scenarios to reduce emissions, updates ENN Energy’s net-zero roadmap, and sets more ambitious new targets.

ENN Energy’s Net-Zero Roadmap – 2024 Edition
ENN Energy’s Net-Zero Roadmap – 2024 Edition

ENN Energy first released “Decarbonisation Action 2030 – Journey to Net Zero” in 2021, proposing a long-term goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 without relying on the purchase of green certificates and other offsets. The publication of the Decarbonisation Action 2024 fulfils the Company’s commitment to reviewing its decarbonisation action plan every three years, examining the progress and achievements, and adjusting key targets to ensure the smooth advancement of its low-carbon transition.

Smooth progress on low-carbon transition targets, with several targets achieved ahead of schedule

Over the past three years, the targets set in the Decarbonisation Action 2021 progressed smoothly, with some targets being achieved ahead of schedule. By the end of 2023, ENN Energy made significant strides in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and optimising its energy structure, including:

  • By continuously optimising methane control management, and promoting energy conservation and emission reduction, the GHG emission intensity of the city-gas business was reduced by 28.5% compared to 2019, surpassing the target of a 20% reduction by 2030 and achieving this significantly ahead of schedule.
  • The GHG emission intensity per unit of energy generated in the integrated energy (IE) business decreased by 36.5% compared to 2019 through continuous exploration and promotion of renewable energy and diversification for a cleaner energy mix. The Company is making progress toward the target of a 48% reduction by 2030.
  • By improving the energy efficiency of office buildings and implementing energy conservation measures, the energy consumption per unit area of office buildings was reduced by 11% compared to 2021, exceeding the target of a 10% reduction by 2025 and achieving this ahead of schedule.
  • As of 30 June 2024, the annual biomass consumption reached 1.87 million tonnes, up 273.5% from 0.5 million tonnes in 2021. The Company is making progress toward the target of 3.27 million tonnes by 2030.
  • In December 2023, the Company released its first Climate-Related Financial Disclosure Report, which disclosed its progress in terms of governance, strategy, risk management, metrics and targets by referencing the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework.
  • The updated investment and financing requirements and performance management methods for key green industry projects were included in the 2024 ENN Energy Green Finance Framework, which obtained an independent second-party opinion and certification provided by S&P Global in 2024.
Low-carbon transition driven by innovation in four key scenarios: Nature Gas, IE, Value Added Business and Low-Carbon Office

As a pioneer in the low-carbon transition, ENN Energy strives to promote the green development of industry and society through continuous innovation of its technology and business model. Based on customers’ actual needs, the Company provides whole-chain, customised energy solutions across four key scenarios: natural gas, IE, value added business and low-carbon office.

In the Natural Gas scenario, the Company is constantly improving its methane emission control initiatives and exploring innovative technologies to further enhance the energy efficiency of natural gas. Meanwhile, the Company is actively exploring the application prospects of natural-gas-based hydrogen projects. This includes collaborating with customers to build the first hydrogen blending station at a project operation site, achieving the simultaneous development of natural gas and hydrogen. In the IE scenario, the Company is actively advancing the construction of low-carbon factories and industrial parks while providing cleaner energy to facilitate the low-carbon transition in industrial energy use. The Company also leverages its extensive experience in building services management to provide customised building energy-saving solutions. Additionally, the Company is expanding its clean energy solutions with a focus on photovoltaics and biomass energy. This includes customising a distributed photovoltaic and storage project, as well as introducing low-carbon business models such as direct combustion of biomass for energy supply and biomass conversion to biogas. In the Value Added Business scenario, the Company leverages digital technologies to intelligently upgrade basic gas services and actively promotes energy-saving gas appliances to help residential users improve their energy use efficiency. In the Low-Carbon Office scenario, the Company implements a low-carbon operation across four dimensions, including cleaner energy utilisation, optimised energy management in office buildings, low-carbon transportation, and the construction of a low-carbon office system.

Updates to net-zero roadmap and low-carbon transition targets

Based on its business operations, ENN Energy references leading domestic and international low-carbon transition standards and frameworks to set environmental and corporate low-carbon transition targets, while outlining a clear net-zero roadmap that provides guidance for its energy conservation and emission reduction efforts.

Since some targets have been achieved ahead of schedule in Decarbonisation Action 2021, the Company has set more ambitious new targets, demonstrating its determination to advance on the path to low-carbon transition. Meanwhile, the Company will optimise the emission reduction measures in various business scenarios to ensure the achievement of its long-term goals. These measures include:

  • Using 2019 as the baseline year, the target for GHG emission intensity of the city-gas business has been updated from a 20% reduction by 2030 to a 50% reduction. To achieve this, the Company will continue to optimise the identification of methane emission sources to achieve full coverage of Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) laser methane monitoring system in all city-gate stations and expand the application of unmanned city-gas stations to significantly reduce the energy consumption.
  • The GHG emission intensity reduction target for the IE business has surpassed the halfway mark. The Company will continue to increase the supply of renewable energy, establish an energy supply model that integrates multiple clean energy sources, and intensify the exploration of the application of renewable energy and zero-carbon energy such as photovoltaic, biomass, geothermal, air, and hydrogen energy relying on the IE micro-grid, and develop customised comprehensive energy solutions for customers based on their specific needs.
  • The Company remains dedicated to addressing the needs of residential users. Building upon its commitment to ensuring gas safety, the Company will continue to leverage digital solutions to deliver comprehensive services that enhance the quality of life for households, assisting in the creation of green homes.
  • Using 2021 as the baseline year, the target for energy consumption per unit area of office buildings has been updated from a 10% reduction by 2025 to a 20% reduction by 2030. To achieve this, the Company will continue to replace traditional lighting fixtures with energy-saving ones in self-sustaining office buildings, actively promote paperless office, deploy energy management systems in self-sustaining office buildings, and establish an internal E-Carbon Pass System to incentivise employees to reduce GHG emissions.
  • The proportion of photovoltaic power consumed in self-owned office buildings has been updated from 5% by 2025 to 10% by 2030. To achieve this, the Company will continue to leverage its strong technological advantages of IE business to increase the developable photovoltaic area in office spaces.
Through the release of the Decarbonisation Action 2024, ENN Energy reaffirms its mission to “achieve the coordinated development of its own carbon reduction and the green upgrading of business, contributing to high-quality social development”. Moving forward, the Company will further integrate sustainability into its business practices and deeply explore market demands for green energy consumption driven by customer needs. By leveraging technology, it will continuously innovate products and services to promote intelligent upgrades in the industry. The Company will work hand in hand with upstream and downstream partners to support the realisation of China’s “Dual Carbon” goals.
