Editorially Speaking The Intern has generated quite some enthusiasm on campus, especially among the administrative ranks. The film conveys two positive messages: first, there are new things to learn even in one’s twilight years; second, veterans do have a lot to teach those in active service. The plot is an old-school executive meets a high-power online entrepreneur. The meeting of tradition and modernity is never far from the institutional identity of our University. A new landmark in Tai Po where the sight of a contemplative 76-metre tall Guanyin commands the viewer to do the same is not far, either. In this issue, Prof. Ho Puay- peng talks about how the Tsz Shan Monastery re-interprets traditional Buddhist art for a modern sentimentality. Our rapidly ageing demographics will give new meanings to many old usages. Talking tête-à-tête to the Newsletter is Prof. Jean Woo ( right ), an expert in gerontological medicine. She will clarify a few myths about old age, give some tips about how to prepare for it, and what her team is doing to make Hong Kong an age-friendly city. In the opening scene of The Intern , a leaden Ben Whittaker practises what appears to be tai chi in the park. At the film’s end, Jules Ostin joins a much composed Ben in this traditional Chinese calisthenics of the yin and the yang. By now, who’s the master; who’s the apprentice? 目錄 CONTENTS 2 特寫 Feature 何培斌談慈山寺的靈性、古代性 和現代性  Ho Puay-peng on Tsz Shan Monastery—Spirituality, Antiquity and Modernity 4 . . . 校園消息 Campus News 6 字裏高科 Tech Talks 6 寶健保健 Wealth In Health 7 到任同仁 Newly Onboard 8 口談實錄 Viva Voce Photo by ISO staff 月滿漢園 Full-moon at VC’s Lodge 沈祖堯校長(中)和中大職員協會古箏合奏團於漢園準備豐富節目,與校友共度中秋。(頁4) Prof. Joseph J.Y.
