In 2026, Joining Hands with the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra to Present Light and Shadow on Strings

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 March 2026 – Co-presented by the Hong Kong Arts Festival and The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, “No Limits” 2026 will collaborate for the first time with Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra (HKCO) to jointly present Light and Shadow on Strings. The concert will be held on 28 March 2026 (Saturday) at 3pm at the Tsuen Wan Town Hall Auditorium. Featuring a 50-member HKCO ensemble alongside rising erhu star Yang Enhua, the performance brings together solo, chamber and orchestral works in a celebratory programme of Chinese music, showcasing the artistic synergy that emerges when musicians of diverse abilities share the same stage.

The concert is one of the major programmes of “No Limits” 2026 and marks HKCO’s inaugural participation in this inclusive festival, representing a significant step forward in advancing inclusive arts within Hong Kong’s mainstream cultural landscape.

Rupert Woo Pak-tuen, Associate Conductor of HKCO and Resident Conductor of the Hong Kong Young Chinese Orchestra, will lead the ensemble and Yang Enhua in a selection of orchestral works. These include the huqin quartet Ru-Meng-Ling, the five-piece combo Autumn Moon on a Placid Lake, and the string quintets Three Variations on Yangguan and A Joyful Evening. The programme also features Tam Yat-sing’s Eternal Night, which was named the Audience’s Favourite at HKCO’s 2023 Music from the Heart concert. Through diverse ensemble formations, the performance weaves a richly layered world of Chinese music, revealing both the delicacy and dynamism of Chinese music through refined musical dialogue.

Yang Enhua will perform three solo works: Dishui Nanyin Words of the Blind, recognised as part of Hong Kong’s Intangible Cultural Heritage; Sun Wenming’s renowned Farewell; and Hua Yanjun (Ah Bing)’s iconic Reflection of the Moon on the Water. Through nuanced expression and tonal depth, these works embody both the inheritance and innovation of traditional Chinese music, conveying resilience and dignity of spirit amid adversity.

The concert will also present the world premiere of Luminous Sound Journey, a newly commissioned work by cross-disciplinary composer Luk Wai-chun, commissioned by “No Limits” and HKCO. Inspired by the sensory experiences of visually impaired individuals in perceiving light and sound, the piece intertwines sonic and visual imagination, guiding audiences into a musical journey that transcends perception and expectation.

Co-produced by “No Limits” and HKCO, Light and Shadow on Strings marks an important milestone in the journey of inclusive arts towards the mainstream stage.

Eddy Zee, Project Director of “No Limits”, said: “Light and Shadow on Strings is an important embodiment of No Limits’ commitment to advancing inclusive arts into the mainstream. The collaboration between Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra and erhu soloist Yang Enhua demonstrates how the spirit of inclusion can be realised on the foundation of professional artistic excellence, revealing the distinctive creative energy that emerges when mainstream musicians and artists of diverse abilities come together.”

Dr Chin Man-wah, Executive Director of the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra, said: “There are multiple perspectives when it comes to defining the success of a social care project; it is not just about the audience attendance rate, but more importantly about the cultivation of talent, the accumulation of experience, and the establishment of mindsets.”

Rupert Woo Pak-tuen, Associate Conductor of the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra and Resident Conductor of the Hong Kong Young Chinese Orchestra said: “Light and Shadow on Strings reveals the rich layers of Chinese music, from the subtle intimacy of solo passages to the powerful resonance of ensemble works. Through this collaboration, we hope audiences can experience the music’s purity of tone, its striking contrasts, and the profound emotional intensity it carries. This programme serves to illustrate our vision of harmony in diversity and our unwavering commitment to inclusion.”

Yang Enhua said:”Music has always been my bridge to the world, leading me beyond the boundaries of visual impairment. Through this performance, I hope to show how sound carries emotion and imagination, and to embrace the diverse ways we all perceive the world. I truly value this collaboration with No Limits and Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra. Their professionalism and trust have allowed us to create and share the sincere power of music on equal ground.”

Under the theme “Luxury, Elevated to a New Realm”, ZEEKR unveiled the global expansion strategy for its dual flagship 9-Series models — the ZEEKR 9X and ZEEKR 009 Grand.

As a key gateway connecting China with global markets, Hong Kong serves as an important benchmark for the premium automotive industry and a strategic platform for luxury brands expanding internationally. Launching the global strategy for the 9-Series in Hong Kong marks a significant new chapter in ZEEKR’s growth across the global premium new energy vehicle market.

The ZEEKR 009 ranked as Hong Kong’s best-selling luxury MPV, while the ZEEKR 7X became the city’s best-selling luxury SUV.

The ZEEKR 9X, ZEEKR’s new global flagship of ultra-luxury SUV, is built on the SEA-S architecture and features a 900V high-performance silicon carbide electric drive system delivering more than 1,030 kW of maximum power. Four integrated safety structures combined with extensive use of 2,000 MPa ultra-high-strength steel contribute to a torsional rigidity rating of 41,600 N·m/deg, setting a new benchmark for safety in the hybrid SUV segment. The ZEEKR 9X recently opened pre-sales in the Middle East, where it has received strong market interest. The model is scheduled to expand into key markets across Latin America, Central Asia and Europe.

The ZEEKR 009 Grand, the brand’s global ultra-luxury four-seater flagship MPV, features a 720-degree comprehensive safety architecture and the world’s first integrated die-cast C-ring cabin structure, delivering segment-leading rear-seat protection.

A Decade of Sharing the Flavors of China: ‘Chinese Restaurant’ Stays True to Its Mission Through Food and Culture

Published

on

CHANGSHA, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 19 June 2026 – Carrying the warmth of everyday life and the richness of Chinese civilization, Chinese Restaurant embarks on a new chapter as it celebrates its 10th anniversary. Marking this milestone, Chinese Restaurant: Nanyang Memories Season makes its highly anticipated return, with partners Huang Xiaoming, Wang Junkai, Hannah Quinlivan (Kun Ling), Jiang Yan, Jin Mengjia, Zhang Yaqi, Lin Shuwei, and the rest of the team ready to begin a heartwarming journey through Southeast Asia. The new season will premiere on June 19, airing every Friday at 12:00 p.m. (Beijing Time) on Mango TV and at 10:00 p.m. on Hunan TV.

Over the past nine years, Chinese Restaurant has traveled across multiple countries and regions, including Thailand, France, Italy, and Hungary. Looking back on its journey of cultural exchange, the program launched a dedicated Chinese food truck in France, allowing local residents and visitors to conveniently experience authentic Chinese flavors. In Hungary, food served as a unique language that fostered deeper intercultural understanding. During the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Italy, the program actively responded to the Belt and Road Initiative, using cultural interaction and culinary exchange to strengthen friendship between the two nations.

Now, standing at the threshold of its second decade, Chinese Restaurant: Nanyang Memories Season returns to Thailand, drawing upon the longstanding cultural, tourism, and people-to-people ties between China and Thailand. Through food and storytelling, the program once again brings Chinese culture to life on Southeast Asian soil.

The new season introduces an innovative business model inspired by traditional Chinese agricultural wisdom, creating a distinctive experience that combines pastoral ecology with the aesthetics of contemporary Chinese dining. New service concepts, including the “Chef’s Table” and “Chef at Home,” offer guests diverse culinary experiences while naturally integrating Chinese cuisine into everyday local life.

For ten years, Chinese Restaurant has remained committed to its original vision: telling authentic and heartfelt Chinese stories while showcasing the unique appeal of Chinese cuisine to global audiences. Through food, the program has helped narrow cultural distances, deepen international understanding, and highlight the confidence, vitality, and inclusiveness of Chinese culture.

The premiere episode of Chinese Restaurant: Nanyang Memories Season coincides with the Dragon Boat Festival, as the seven partners begin a brand-new entrepreneurial adventure in Chiang Mai, Thailand. From unexpected operational challenges and cultural differences to the dynamic interactions among team members with diverse personalities, the journey promises a wealth of memorable moments and compelling stories for viewers.

Over the years, the Chinese Restaurant franchise has consistently used authentic Chinese cuisine as a bridge connecting people across cultures. Every dish reflects the traditions and warmth of Chinese daily life, while every shared meal conveys the spirit and values of Eastern culture. Set against real-world international backdrops, the program vividly presents the depth and richness of Chinese civilization.

Today, Chinese Restaurant is far more than a culinary reality show. It has become a platform for cultural dialogue, mutual understanding, and friendship between China and the world. Through the universal language of food, the program continues to bring people closer together, allowing Chinese flavors and Chinese stories to resonate across borders and leave a lasting impression on audiences worldwide.
