An exhibition about Chinese students who studied abroad and their contribution to the modernization of China, will run from Nov. 5 to Feb. 9, 2004 at the Hong Kong Museum of History, a government press release said in Hong Kong Tuesday.

At the exhibition named "Boundless Learning: Foreign-educated Students of Modern China", some 250 exhibits will give visitors an insight into the lives and thinking of the foreign-educated Chinese students. The exhibits include correspondence, manuscripts of assignments, photo albums, diaries, clothing, academic certificates and graduation albums.

Speaking at the opening ceremony Tuesday, Hong Kong's Deputy Director of Leisure and Cultural Services Choi Suk-kuen said that foreign education had enriched the students' knowledge and enhanced their status.

"They made remarkable achievements which shaped their own destiny as well as that of modern China, making her one of the world's powerful nations," Choi said.
