He is the second Chinese poet to receive the award. Founded in 1962, Struga Poetry Evenings in Macedonia is one of the world’s three major poetry festivals and the oldest one. The Golden Wreath Award is one of the most authoritative international poetry prizes. Many Golden Wreath laureates have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. The Struga Poetry Evenings committee believes that ‘Bei Dao is widely considered to be one of China’s most important contemporary authors today who created poems exceeding the literary boundaries of his time.’ Bei Dao, known by his real name Zhao Zhenkai, was born in Beijing in 1949. He co-founded the underground literary journal Today ( Jin Tian ) and is one of the key poets in meng long shi (obscurist poetry). In 2007, Bei Dao was invited to teach at CUHK. In addition to teaching, he is committed to poetry education, as well as the translation and promotion of international poetry. He launched many activities such as the International Poetry Nights in Hong Kong and International Poets in Hong Kong. He also hand-picked 101 Chinese and foreign classical and modern poems for children. These were compiled into a book Selected Poems for Children , and published in January by the Chinese University Press. 全球經濟及金融研究所再獲BCT銀聯集團捐款 BCT Donation to Support IGEF 中大再次獲BCT銀聯集團慨捐六百萬港元，繼續 支持全球經濟及金融研究所設立的「BCT 銀聯集 團傑出研究員」，支票捐贈儀式於3月18日舉行， 由BCT銀聯金融有限公司董事總經理及行政總裁 劉嘉時女士（ 右 ）及沈祖堯校長主持。集團多位 代表、全球經濟及金融研究所的專家教授，以及 校內成員出席見證。 BCT 銀聯集團於 2012 年捐款支持研究所設 立「BCT銀聯集團傑出研究員」，大學將此榮銜授 予金融專家劉明康教授，為當時成立只有兩年的 研究所注入推動力。劉教授除了指導研究所的發 展方向，三年間主講超過二十場公開講座，並在 全球金融菁英領導研討班上擔任講師。在BCT的 鼎力支持下，研究所得以續聘劉教授任「BCT銀 聯集團傑出研究員」，為期三年。 BCT Co.
