[Find English Version Below] 人們常對某些話題保持緘默，但我們仍需直面問題。近年來, 針對亞裔的種族主義再度成為焦點。除了感到憤怒、悲傷和恐懼，我們同樣困惑於這類沖突產生的原因。為什麽這一問題在溫哥華如此敏感? 一百多年來，溫哥華唐人街作為跨太平洋的重要樞紐，不僅曾深陷於重重歷史危機，更面臨著日漸增長的社會、文化和經濟困難。建成之初，它是許多異鄉旅客的棲身之所，是盛極一時的文化輸出，更承載著許多遠隔重洋的思念。百年後的今天，在見證了族群不斷的遷移，發展，融合，沖突後，唐人街逐漸走向沒落，成了多數人不願涉足的禁地。 從1885年的中國人頭稅，到持續不斷的、基於種族歧視的暴力襲擊，直到今天，作為北美反亞裔仇恨之都的居民，我們該如何理解過去發生的種種，又該對未來抱有怎樣的期待? 我們該如何看待具有多重身份與意義的唐人街， 它的興盛與衰敗有著怎樣的歷史意義？又與個體的生活有著怎樣的聯系？ 溫哥華時間11月9日星期二下午5點半，在CK Choi 120，對話將攜手UBC History Student Assoication共同舉辦11月特別活動，我們期待聽到你的分享。 主活動討論結束後，我們將舉行After Party, 繼續我們的交流和相互認識。地點未定，請等待通知。屆時將為大家提供免費食物，酒水自費，歡迎參與。 【活動形式】 ➤時間/地点：溫哥華時間11月9日，週二晚間5:30-7:30pm @CK Choi 120 After Party 7:30pm, 地點未定，請等待通知。 ➤注冊連結： https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/a-visit-to-vancouver-chinatown-the-past-present-and-future-registration-201746397907 ➤padlet討論： https://padlet.com/alexandrahu0307/tpionm5f65mb8df0 活動將以小組討論+大組討論的形式進行。你不需要準備任何發言，我們鼓勵你將自己的經歷和對「華人」這一概念的思考結合起來，與大家在相互尊重的基礎上交流想法。你可以使用你最熟悉的語言（國/普、粵、英）進行分享，我們將提供翻譯。 ————————————————————— Certain topics are always difficult to bring up, yet we need to address them nonetheless.
