Summary
Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism Rosanna Law Shuk-pui (羅淑佩) said she had a packed weekend, attending a school anniversary water-sports event before watching the film "We Are the Waves" (《浪花男女》) and the newly adapted Cantonese opera "Guangling San" (《廣陵散》). She described both productions as strong examples of the many quality programmes available in Hong Kong and urged the public to pay more attention to local cultural offerings.
Key Points
- On Saturday, September 13, Law shared on social media that she had attended the 80th anniversary sailing and rowing activities of South China Catholic Secondary School at Kai Tak Water Sports Centre.
- She said she paid for her own ticket to watch "We Are the Waves", a film centred on wakesurfing that had earlier been screened as a featured title at Hong Kong Week 2026 in Chengdu.
- Law said she had been unable to stay for that Chengdu screening after officiating at the launch ceremony because her schedule did not allow enough time.
- She praised the film’s depiction of Sai Kung’s natural scenery and clear waters, saying movies set against Hong Kong’s countryside and outlying islands could serve as tourism ambassadors.
- Law also watched the Chinese Culture Festival’s newly adapted Cantonese opera "Guangling San", written by Wu Kwok-yin and starring Lung Koon-tin, about Ji Kang of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove.
- She said the opera’s language was elegant and its structure concise, singling out the final scene in which Ji Kang performs "Guangling San" again at the execution ground.
- Law added that hearing young audience members behind her praise the performance at the end was encouraging and heartening.
Why It Matters
Law’s comments tie together culture, tourism and outdoor leisure, suggesting that locally made screen works and traditional stage productions can both help draw attention to Hong Kong’s scenery and arts scene. Her public endorsement may also encourage residents to support homegrown programmes across film, opera and sports-linked cultural events.
