從衣食住行到華人墓園，從草根身分到性別角色，從語言環境到世代變遷，講者以加拿大《大漢公報》與華人口述歷史為針，以華語資料及文化研究為線，編織尋常而不尋常的加華故事。講座旨在鼓勵聽眾及讀者反思英語史料及文獻的局限性，同時嘗試以多元的華語視角去聆聽、探究、細述、理解未曾言說的加華心聲，一一重拾那些幾近遺失的文化及故事。
國語講座，由蕭堯博士主講。
From everyday life to the making of cemeteries, from grassroots relations to gender roles, from sociolinguistic environments to intergenerational changes, this lecture draws on cultural studies, oral histories, and The Chinese Times (the longest-running Chinese-language newspaper in Canada), weaving Sinophone sources into a tapestry of Chinese Canadian stories that are at once ordinary and extraordinary. Presented by Dr.Yao Xiao in Mandarin.

本次講座帶領我們走進加拿大華人被遺忘的情感世界。透過《大漢公報》的告別書信、生活廣告與社區新聞，我們得以窺見許多看似微小卻飽含深意的片段。此中故事，不僅記下一段段歷史，更訴盡多少人在邊緣的徘徊、勇氣、夢想與尊嚴。粵語講座，由蕭堯博士主講。
This talk leads us into the forgotten emotional dimensions of Chinese migration journeys in Canada. Through farewell letters, everyday advertisements, and community news in The Chinese Times (the longest-running Chinese-language newspaper in Canada, from 1914 to 1992), we glimpse fragments that may seem small yet rich with meaning. These stories not only record history but also shed light on the wandering, courage, dreams, and dignity carried by those who lived at the margins. Presented by Dr. Yao Xiao in Cantonese.

11AM – 12:30PM
Hosted by the Chinese Canadian Museum
This public lecture with Dr. Yao Sweden Xiao explored the undertold vicissitudes of Chinese Canadian lives and expressions through The Chinese Times (1914 – 1992), one of the longest-running Chinese-language newspapers in Canada that was published in Vancouver Chinatown. Drawing on personal farewell letters, editorial essays, ads for everyday escapes, as well as community news of mutual aid, resilience, and collective protests, Xiao brings to light the subtleties of inter-group relations, the reverberations of global geopolitics, the power of grassroots literacy, and the evolving role of culture in shaping diasporic Chinese Canadian identification. At its heart are the soulful and indignant voices of forgotten migrants – underpaid workers, dreamers, lifeline connectors, nonconformists – whose embers of hopes and sorrows glow at the margins of minoritized memories, underrepresentation, and above all, long overdue human dignities.
