Established with a seed grant from The Hong Kong Jockey Club and its Charities Trust, the Institute of Philanthropy (IoP) is an independent 'think-fund-do' tank for China, Asia, and beyond. It seeks to provide a platform that brings stakeholders together to promote the betterment of societies. To further promote Chinese culture and nurture arts tech talent, IoP is exclusively sponsoring the 'Galloping Through Time: Digital Reimagination of Horse Art and Culture' exhibition organised by the Palace Museum. Its opening ceremony was held in early June in The Great Hall of Exalted Mystery (Dagaoxuan dian) at the Palace Museum in Beijing.
This exhibition, aims to showcase the essence of Chinese culture through interactive 3D digital technology, following the 'FLASH! The Palace Museum – A Pop-Up Digital Experience' exhibition held at Tai Kwun, and 'The Ways in Patterns: An Immersive Digital Exhibition from the Palace Museum' exhibition currently underway at the Hong Kong Palace Museum. These initiatives collectively demonstrate IoP's continuous support for the Palace Museum's efforts to promote digital cultural heritage conservation.
The horse culture-themed exhibition is part of a five-year initiative titled 'Promotion of Chinese Culture and Arts Tech Talent Development in the Mainland and Hong Kong' – a collaboration between IoP and the Palace Museum to foster cultural exchange and develop arts tech talent. It also coincides with the museum's centennial celebration and the 140th anniversary of The Hong Kong Jockey Club.
Lester Huang, IoP Chairman and Trustee of The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, said at the opening ceremony that the collaboration between IoP and the Palace Museum aims to promote traditional Chinese culture, nurture arts tech talent and develop Hong Kong into a centre for international cultural exchange.

Chiikawa toy craze grips Hong Kong as thousands queue for McDonald's promo meals
Tens of thousands of people in Hong Kong have queued for Chiikawa toys that come with McDonald's Happy Meals as part of a promotional tie-up between the fast food chain and an exhibition featuring the famous Japanese manga. Some 20,000 customers were in line on the McDonald's reservation website at certain points on Monday after sales opened at 11am, and hundreds showed up at different outlets to queue for the special meal sets hours before they were made available. The promotion was related to a three-week event called 'Chiikawa Days Exhibition', organised by Hong Kong studio AllRightReserved, which will begin in the city on August 1 at K11 Musea in Tsim Sha Tsui. Chiikawa, which means 'something small and cute', is the name of the titular hamster protagonist created by Japanese artist Nagano. As part of the promotion, eight different Chiikawa toys will be given away with Happy Meal purchases on Mondays and Fridays between July 28 and August 22 at 40 McDonald's outlets in the city. At a McDonald's branch in Causeway Bay, Heiman Chan, 40, dressed in a Chiikawa T-shirt and carrying a Chiikawa plush doll on his shoulder, waited in line with his prepared QR code to collect the toy with his meal set. 'I found out online that McDonald's was selling Chiikawa Happy Meals, so I came especially to buy one today,' he said.

Influencers, rappers, YouTubers and fans: AC Milan and Liverpool's modern media
The days of football clubs travelling abroad accompanied only by a familiar press pack have been consigned to history. Advertisement And it is not just the extra TV cameras, pundits, worldwide media and club legends – a term liberally applied in some cases – that jump on the travelling bandwagon. No, space these days is found for YouTubers, fan channels, bloggers and, in the case of AC Milan, a Chinese rapper. Simba Siiviba, who boasts almost 800,000 followers on mainland social media platform Weibo, routinely incorporates AC Milan into his lyrics. One of his songs, El Capitano, was written in tribute to ex-Milan skipper Massimo Ambrosini. 'I put so many AC Milan posts on Weibo and TikTok,' Simba told the Post.

It's my goal to have AC Milan as a big part of my identity, and my performances.'
