Goulding, JaneThis fonds consists of multimedia records documenting Jason Kahei Wong’s music works, public life, and personal affairs in Hong Kong. The records predominantly reflect his experiments in composing classical guitar music in alternative genres. In particular, his original scores and live performance videos showcased the soundscape and versatility of nylon-string guitar that was not considered possible. Another focus of this fonds are the records about his religious life. A considerable amount of textual materials document the worldview he developed through bible study sessions with his peers, who tried to make sense of biblical principles with Chinese norms and values. On a large part, these records serve as an important segway to understanding Wong’s position and point of view in the 2019 Hong Kong Protest. This fonds includes a series of political essays written by Wong. They reported on key events that took place during the Protest and expressed his visions for truth, justice, and harmony. The research materials for the essays feature first-hand interviews, photographs, and videos of petitions sites. There are also records of Wong’s education in the form of journals, course notes, papers, and graphical materials.
Wong, Jason KaheiThis fonds consists of materials documenting Wong's life as a student in the School of Information and lifeguard in the swimming club. It includes his personal papers, correspondence with colleagues, and photographs.
