资深房地产经纪Amie Chen除专精地产专业外, 对社区公益及儿童议题特别关注, 多年来一直是位於橙县La Habra儿童博物馆的Board Member, 她认为儿童是社会最珍贵的资产, 是我们的未来。

LA HABRA儿童博物馆将於2018年1月23日(星期二)起, 与中国“杭州少年宫联合巡展：携手中国” 由Freeman基金会协办。主题巡展将在La Habra儿童博物馆盛大开幕。此次巡展旨在让更多的家庭通过孩子们的独特视角融入并了解世界文明古国之一的中国，而中国现也已成为世界上发展最快的现代化国家之一。此次巡展由波士顿儿童博物馆创办， 并作为“亚洲系列文化展”的一部分由Freeman基金会赞助，儿童博物馆协会管理，为时四个月，从2018/1/23至2018/5/27

如今，中国早以迅雷不及掩耳之速成为了世界上不可忽略的超级大国。交通和电讯行业的高速发展带动并促进了全球化货物，服务，观点的流动，然而，我们更应该去探索的是那些头条新闻背后的故事。杭州少年宫一直致力於利用波士顿的姐妹城－杭州的生活点滴加深人们对於当代中国文化的认知，理解和欣赏。在中国独特的大环境下，观展者将会面对面的与来自中国杭州的孩子们进行交流。他们有着不同的成长生活环境和各异的兴趣，但相同的是，他们将会成为揭秘中国的使者，颠覆刻板印象，带领大家走进并了解真实的中国和博大精深的中国文化。

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.
