The “Soaring Creativity – The Hong Kong Pavilion” at the 27^th Taipei International Book Exhibition held an opening ceremony and book donation ceremony on the afternoon of February 11. Chairman of the Hong Kong Pavilion Event Planning Committee Suzhen Zhu presented the donation to National Central Library Director-general Shu-hsien Tseng. Director-general Tseng presented a certificate of appreciation to thank them for the donation to NCL and for promoting the exchange of book culture between Taiwan and Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Pavilion showcased 71 publishers and 13 printers from Hong Kong, and a total of over 1,100 books. After the exhibition was over, several hundred of these were handpicked to be part of the donation, with content ranging from finance, history, culture, literature, biographies, art, to education. These represent the newest innovation and creativity of the Hong Kong publishing industry and are quite valuable in understanding Hong Kong’s cultural publishing industry.
