C4 is proud to present the US Premier “Searching for Lin Zhao’s Soul”, AKA In Search of Lin Zhao’s Soul 寻找林昭的灵魂 (2004) in Mandarin with English subtitles.

This documentary film is about the outstanding Beijing University student Lin Zhao, who was labeled a rightist when she criticized the Anti-Rightist Campaign in 1950s. She was imprisoned and later executed. In Philip Pan’s recent book “Out of Mao’s Shadow”, two chapters were written about this documentary, quoting the filmmaker Hu Jie about Lin Zhao: “(the film is) inspired by her courage, and her uncompromising sense of justice… It was extraordinary that a great woman like Lin Zhao once lived in China… I thought she was a national treasure.”

This film is co-presented by WACSF (World Affairs Council San Francisco),AAWAA(Asian American Women Artists Association), IMOW (International Museum of Women), OACC(Oakland Asian Cultural Center), CCS(Center for Chinese Study) in UC Berkeley.

和歷史悠久的中國的藝術，文化和科學一樣，益智遊戲在中國也流傳已久。許多中國的傳統益智遊戲也是智慧和藝術的傑作。
“Puzzles”在中國叫做益智遊戲。自古以來，從平民到宮廷，益智遊戲都深受男女老少的喜愛。
中國益智遊戲展覽的所有展品都來自藝智堂的收藏。其中包括傳統的七巧板，九連環和華容道。另外還有益智器物，益智圖像和一些智巧的生活用品，比如連環戒指或多開機關古鎖。
此次中國益智遊戲的展覽的一個重要的部分是互動。人們既可以觀賞展櫃中的益智遊戲，還可以在互動台上或互動教室裡親自動手動腦，體驗把玩益智遊戲的快樂和揭解益智遊戲的成就感。
藝智堂的藏主是舊金山灣區的張衛和雷彼德。近十二年來，他們走遍中國，北美和歐洲古董市場，收集這些迅速地消失的物品。中國益智遊戲展覽是藝智堂第一次綜合公展，也是第一個關於中國益智遊戲的專展。
此展覽歡迎不同年齡與文化背景的個人或家庭參與。
