Professor Rulan Chao Pian passed away on November 30, 2013 at the age of 91 in her Cambridge home, U.S.. In memory of Prof. Pian, the University Library System presents An Exhibition In Memory of Professor Rulan Chao Pian at the Chung Chi College Elisabeth Luce Moore Library from March 27 to June 2, 2014. Our deepest gratitude to Professor Pian for her generosity, donating her entire collection of books on music, audio-visual materials and machines, teaching materials, notes, and musical instruments to the University in the years from 2006 to 2009. The donation becomes the treasure of the University Library – the Rulan Chao Pian Collection, it includes such precious items as her personal dairy and her correspondence and photographs with students, scholars and notabilities. The Collection is academically significant not just in music; it is coeval and intertwined with the 20th century history of China, a repository, a treasury of contemporary Chinese history and culture. It is Professor Pian’s wish that her donation would set an example, inducing scholars to value the study of East Asian history and culture, and the preservation and sharing of such materials. In the years to come, the Rulan Chao Pian Collection will continue to benefit researchers and scholars at The Chinese University of Hong Kong and beyond. Exhibits include Professor Pian’s manuscripts, notes, correspondence, photos, newspaper clippings, publications and articles about her. We hope that through this exhibition, the CUHK community can learn more from Professor Pian’s works, accomplishments, contributions, and most of all, her deeply positive attitude towards teaching, research and life.
