Literacy Culture on and beyond Campus  5  N ot every university in the world has its own press. CUHK set up the University Publications Office in 1968, just five years after the establishment of the University. The office was reorganized into the Chinese University Press (CUP) in 1977. This fact underscores the University’s value of its press. Counting from the University Publications Office, the CUP is 47 years old. Its managing editor Dr. Lin Ying says, ‘Since its establishment, the press has devoted itself to the advancement, preservation and dissemination of knowledge, as well as the promotion of multi-cultural academic exchanges. This is something that hasn’t changed over all these years. This mission statement dovetails with the University’s mission and vision. But in the 21st century, the issues facing the press and the University are quite different to those half a century ago. For example, the relations between Hong Kong and the world, and the relations between China and the world are different now.’ Dr. Lin Ying
