Hong Kong Culture Night 2009
May 11, 2009, 6:00pm-10:00pm
Ackerman Grand Ballroom, UCLA
“愛.疫：In Love and In Sickness”
一百日非典型生活…一千七百多人病倒…近三百人失去生命…
2003年春天發生的故事，成為了香港人的集體回憶
小小病毒，曾經令人疏離…互相猜忌…這家人憑著團結精神，渡過難關
但…生命…亦從此不一樣
A hundred days of atypical living, more than 1,700 infected, nearly 300 lives lost…
The unforgettable episode of spring 2003 has become the collective memory of Hong Kong;
The virus tore down relationships, but love held the family together in the face of adversity,
Life, takes on a new meaning ever since……
