The Papers mainly consist of materials written by or related to Prof. Tse-tsung Chow (周策縱). These materials, collected by Prof. Wong Yoon-wah, include Prof. Chow’s poems for book publication, his correspondence, calligraphies, essays and photographs as well as some assignments and notes of which the majority was written by Prof. Wong. Prof. Wong and his wife, Dan Ying were Prof. Chow’s students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA. They had established a very close relationship and the two families have kept in close contact ever since. In the Papers, there are photographs of Prof. Wong, Prof. Chow and their families and friends. Some of these photographs were taken in the gatherings at Prof. Chow’s home. Prof. Chow was a poet, calligrapher and renowned scholar in Dreams of the Red Chambers, Chinese language and literature. Prof. Wong and Dan Ying are poets too. Prof. Chow often shared his Chinese calligraphy, articles and essays with his correspondents. Chinese literature, especially Chinese poems was a frequent discussion topic in Prof. Chow’s correspondence. Prof. Chow’s dedication to Chinese literature has significant influences on Prof. Wong’s research and career development. In fact, Prof. Wong has written and edited some journal articles and books on Prof. Chow’s scholarly works and poems. Therefore, a big portion of the Papers includes photocopies of Prof. Chow’s poems and correspondence discussing the publication projects of his poems. (English)
