資深房地產經紀Amie Chen除專精地產專業外, 對社區公益及兒童議題特別關注, 多年來一直是位於橙縣La Habra兒童博物館的Board Member, 她認為兒童是社會最珍貴的資產, 是我們的未來。

LA HABRA兒童博物館將於2018年1月23日(星期二)起, 與中國“杭州少年宮聯合巡展：攜手中國” 由Freeman基金會協辦。主題巡展將在La Habra兒童博物館盛大開幕。此次巡展旨在讓更多的家庭通過孩子們的獨特視角融入並了解世界文明古國之一的中國，而中國現也已成為世界上發展最快的現代化國家之一。此次巡展由波士頓兒童博物館創辦， 並作為“亞洲系列文化展”的一部分由Freeman基金會贊助，兒童博物館協會管理，為時四個月，從2018/1/23至2018/5/27

如今，中國早以迅雷不及掩耳之速成為了世界上不可忽略的超級大國。交通和電訊行業的高速發展帶動並促進了全球化貨物，服務，觀點的流動，然而，我們更應該去探索的是那些頭條新聞背後的故事。杭州少年宮一直致力於利用波士頓的姐妹城－杭州的生活點滴加深人們對於當代中國文化的認知，理解和欣賞。在中國獨特的大環境下，觀展者將會面對面的與來自中國杭州的孩子們進行交流。他們有著不同的成長生活環境和各異的興趣，但相同的是，他們將會成為揭秘中國的使者，顛覆刻板印象，帶領大家走進並了解真實的中國和博大精深的中國文化。

THE CHILDREN’S MUSEUM AT LA HABRA PRESENTS

CHILDREN OF HANGZHOU: CONNECTING WITH CHINA

With Support from The Freeman Foundation

Opening to the public on Tuesday, January 23, 2018, Children of Hangzhou: Connecting with China is an exhibition designed to engage children and families in learning about one of the oldest civilizations – and now among the most modern – in the world through some of its young people. Children of Hangzhou: Connecting with China was created by Boston Children’s Museum and is part of the Freeman Foundation Asian Culture Exhibit Series, funded by The Freeman Foundation and administered by Association of Children’s museums.  The exhibit will be hosted by The Children’s Museum at La Habra through Sunday, May 27, 2018。

With breathtaking speed China has become a global power.  Global transportation and telecommunications have facilitated the fast flow of goods, services and ideas around the world.  But now we need to get behind the glare of the headlines. Children of Hangzhou is devoted to expanding knowledge, understanding and appreciation of contemporary China through life in Boston’s Sister City, Hangzhou. In distinctively Chinese settings, visitors will “meet” children with different interests and in different environments and learn what makes them tick. The exhibit will dispel stereotypes and “demystify” China. 

Through this exhibit, The Children’s Museum at La Habra strives to increase awareness around China.

The exhibition is organized into several components: 

*Visit Weicheng’s apartment

*Find out about the importance of family and help celebrate grandma’s birthday

*Discover the art of symbols in China

*Learn how to write good luck and long life in Chinese

*See how the Chinese prepare their favorite recipes

*Enjoy seeing all the yummy parts of a Chinese banquet

*Visit Gangzheng’s middle school

*Find out what his school day is like

*Join the class in studying Ancient Chinese history

*Learn about the amazing Great Wall, with original blocks for building it

*See how the Chinese written language evolved over thousands of years

*Visit the Opera Theater where Qianyun is learning to perform traditional Chinese opera

*Pluck the pipa (lute like instrument) and hear how it sounds

*Play the yangqin with tiny hammers – just like a dulcimer and hear how it sounds

*With great costumes, scripts to follow, and terrific music, it’s Showtime!

*Go out to the countryside with Doudou

*Discover life in the countryside while visiting grandparents

*Help them with rice planting and learn about rice cultivation

*Learn crafts from grandma 

*Find out about the importance of the ancestral village

*Check out the friendly lifelike water buffalo!

Children of Hangzhou: Connecting with China presents four children from Hangzhou at home, at school, in the library, in the theater, and in the countryside. The Hangzhou young people will introduce themselves through media and the activities of their daily lives. Visitors will discover that Chinese life today mixes ancient traditions with modern lifestyles and that life in China is both similar to and different from life in North America. The young Chinese in the exhibit will be a bridge to learning about China and building cross-cultural understanding. The exhibit features original artwork created to present a unique Chinese aesthetic that delivers an immediate and unmistakable impression: You are in China.

The iconic centerpiece of the exhibit is a Pavilion in West Lake. See how Hangzhou is like “heaven on earth”. In the Pavilion, visitors can practice Tai Chi with a master and play traditional Chinese games.

The Children’s Museum at La Habra will host Chinese performances, including martial arts, folk sports demonstrations, dance, music and acrobats. For a complete calendar listing, please visit www.lhcm.org.

Children of Hangzhou: Connecting with China will be at The Children’s Museum at La Habra from January 23, 2018 through May 27, 2018.
